Destined (Moonstar pack series book 1)

Chapter 33

  My head was swimming, my body ached all over. I tried opening my eyes they felt glued together. Finally, prying them open only to be blinded by bright lights. I quickly closed them and moaned. Moving my head even a inch felt like it was exploding. I tried again to open my eyes the light stung but not as bad.

  Blinking a few times my eyes finally started to adjust. Looking around the room was painful. I saw a few beds to my left and to my right was a bed with someone in it. I must be in a hospital. I heard a door open to my right I turned my head and seen a heavily pregnant women with a smile on her face.

  "Oh! You're awake! Let me get the doctor." I wanted to stop her and ask her what happened. Where was I? She already had walked out and returned with a man I assume is the doctor. He even looks like a doctor, brown hair turning grey at his temples. Glasses on the bridge of his nose and a clipboard in his hands. The white lab coat was a big give away too.

  "Ahhh Sophie you're awake finally. We were worried about you." I tried to talk but my throat was dry and scratchy. He noticed and handed me a glass of water that was sitting at a table near the head of my bed. The cool water felt so soothing going down my throat. I think I drank to fast because I started coughing but I got my voice back. "Where am I? What happened? Where's Marcus? Rebecca?"

  It was still scratchy, I drank a little more water slowly this time. They looked at each other with a frown. My stomach dropped what are they keeping from me. "Sophie, Marcus is laying next to you. He is in a coma. We tried everything, he fell almost 10 feet down a cliff." I looked to my right focusing more. I noticed Marcus's still figure. Tears stung my eyes. Marcus? Baby please wake up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I had a steady stream of visitors since I woke up. I was most anxious to see Rebecca since she was discharged a few days before I woke up. I found out her and the baby were just fine. All the bruises she had were healing nicely.

  3 weeks! We had been asleep for 3 weeks. Marcus was still asleep but the doctor isn't worried. I am though. I talk to him everytime we are alone. I mind link him when he has visitors. Telling him who they are what they are saying. I know he can probably hear them, the doctor says he can but it comforts me talking to him.

  "I have a surprise for you." Jonathan says. He comes everyday to talk to me and Marcus. He always comes with a surprise yesterday he brought me a chocolate bar. "Is it ice cream? It's ice cream isn't it."

  He laughs, "Close your eyes." I sit up and close my eyes and put my hand out. It has been our ritual for the past week. I hear the door open again, I start grinning wondering what it is he brought me. To my surprise it isn't something cold placed in my hands but something warm. It wraps my hand and squeezes.
  I open my eyes, tears fill my eyes. "Papa? Oh papa I've missed you." I wrap my arms around him and squeeze. He is real this isn't a dream. "Mi tesoro, I have missed you too."

  "When did you get here?" I didn't want to let him go. He moved and sat on my bed still holding my hand. "I just arrived. Jonathan picked me up from the airport. Rebecca's husband is here also. Have you talked to the doctor? He says you will be released today." I frown and look at Marcus I don't want to be away from him. What if he wakes up and I'm not here? Shaking my head.

  "I can't leave him papa." I say still looking at Marcus. Papa squeezes my hand. "Did you know I fought in the war before you were born? I think it was a year after I met your mother. She didn't want me to go of course. She always had these feelings, when she had a feeling she was usually right."

  "As a werewolf I did pretty good out there. I was fast and I could see in the dark. Plus I healed fast. We were out on patrol when our unit was ambushed. Most of us were wiped out, those men were my friends. I heard it before it landed but I didn't react quickly enough. When it exploded I was blown 80 feet away. At least thats where they said they found me."

  "I fell into a coma, after a month they sent me home so I can die with my family. Your mother was stubborn though. She made me comfortable in our bed. Talked to me daily slept beside me. She prayed to the moon goddess and the moon goddess answered. Pray sweetie she will answer." I didn't realize I was crying. I knew my father was in a war but I never knew he was hurt. He never wanted to talk about it.

  After awhile my father left so he could rest. Alone with my thoughts I looked over to Marcus. Getting out of bed walking to Marcus's. Baby please wake up. I climbed into his bed and put my head to his chest. Hearing his heartbeat always calms me. Goddess please answer my prayer. Bring my mate back to me. Wake him up. I kept praying until I fell alseep.

  Waking up next to Marcus always had me feeling great. If only he would be awake. I stretched my sore muscles and opened my eyes. To my shock the most beautiful hazle green eyes stared back at me.
