Alpha Markus and Celeste novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 – Celeste 

Celeste P.O.V. 

I came back from the bathroom after the migraine started to hit. I had a vision as I was assembling the canapes.

It confused me as I mostly saw Sandra looking down on me through a haze of red. Shifting usually helps get rid of the

migraine, so I had gone to the bathroom to quickly shift as I couldn’t risk shifting outside during the full moon. The smell of cologne that I had smelled earlier hit me in the face as I made my way back in but I saw no one but Maya. My

migraine receded slightly as I breathed it in.

“Oh hey, you missed Alpha Markus, he would like the recipes for the desserts. I told him we’d leave copies of

them in his room while they run.”

Alpha Markus, so that is the name to the scent. Hmmm, I mulled over the name as I cooked more canapes. It had

a nice ring to it. I’d barely had a chance to see any of the ranked members. There was so much cooking to do. I’d only

met a few people asking for recipes. Something I’d gladly shared with all of them. I heard the howling of the wolves as the moon rose, a sign for us to go set up. I tried to ignore Kara’s disappointment. I knew she would love to run during

a full moon. It was supposed to be energizing and magical.

I know we will get to run under the goddess’s light one day. – Kara said, sensing my guilt.

You’re the best wolf a girl could ask for – I said.

We finished the canapes and Maya and I went to drop the food off at the outside tables. We could hear howling in the distance. I looked up at the sky and let the glow of the moon soak into my skin. All of the sudden I felt someone grab me by the hair and drop me to the ground. I looked up to see Sandra. I bowed my head, not knowing what I did. I quickly glanced to the side and saw Maya was also on the ground, a slash on her head from Sandra’s claws. I wasn’t sure why Sandra was targeting us, but I could heal faster than Maya. She didn’t have a wolf, which meant there was

only one thing to do.
