What do you think Dante's surprise is going to be? What do you think is going to happen between Celeste and Dante once she calms down?
Dante’s POV Celeste was pregnant, emotional, and confused. I knew she was overwhelmed and I was trying to be as caring and considerate as possible, but I knew she would begin to react more erratically as long as she continued to go unmarked and without a mate. I wanted to mark her badly, but I knew if I did, it would start a war between the packs and my pack wouldn’t support my decision if the mate I wanted was already the chosen mate of someone else. It would open our pack up to appear weak, and that would be all Callen would need in order to get Celeste and kill me. Since she is his claimed chosen mate, if I were to mark her without him retracting his declaration and arrangement with her pack to take her as his chosen mate, he would have grounds to challenge me and kill me, taking over my pack and territory if he were to prevail. That was something I just couldn’t risk at this time. I needed to try and find another way to convince Callen to let her go.In the meantime, I had plans
As everyone cleared away from the podium where the announcements were made, I stood with Dante still holding me from our passionate kiss, confused. With my brows scrunched, I looked at Dante, “H-h-how is this possible? What about…” I began before Dante interrupted, “Don’t worry about that. Tonight, I want you to just enjoy your rightful place where you belong!” He smiled as he caressed the back of his hand across one of my cheeks before gently pressing his lips on mine.I felt so bad at that moment. I felt like a fool. I felt so stupid! Here I was pissed off at him because I assumed he was taking another as his mate and he intended somehow, someway to make ME his Luna! “Dante…I’m so sorry!” I looked down, disappointed in my own behavior towards him.“For what baby?” He cooed as he looked into my eyes with such a loving and prideful look it sent shivers down my spine. “Here I have been mad at you…thinking you were going to have me as your mistress or something and instead this whole
As we sped down the street, we saw Beta Marcus rush out the front with the two warriors he brought with him as they attempted to chase after our car. Considering my car was old and not very fast, I wasn’t sure how far we would get before they caught up but I didn’t want to stick around to find out either. As we reached the end of the street, I looked in my rear view mirror to confirm that they were jumping into the black SUV they brought with them to chase us. I turned the corner and kept going, frantic and desperate to get to Dante. I knew if I could get to him, he wouldn’t let them take me. I was in such a panic that I didn’t even realize how much of a panic I was in until Joan touched my shoulder, “Shhh…just breath Celeste, take deep breaths in and out. We got away from them!” I tried focusing on my breathing as I continued rushing towards the freeway, desperate to reach the pack house.“C-c-can…can you call…” I was taking deep breaths in and out, still trying to calm down, “Dan
A few days passed since we got away from Beta Marcus. I spent my time helping Joan re-organize her and Jackson’s room. She told me that he was so disorganized he had trash mixed with his clothes that were mixed with paperwork among other things she didn’t want to mention. I laughed at her dramatic description of Jackson’s room before finding her. He was a bachelor wolf, what did she expect? I’d probably have something to say about Dante’s room if I were actually ever going to get to be mated to him. I know he announced me as his pack Luna already, but I still don’t believe it will happen, at least not while Callen is out hunting for me.After we were done re-organizing and dare I say - re-decorating the room, we decided to sprawl out and start thinking about upcoming holidays and special events the pack traditionally celebrated so we could begin making plans to make the events and holidays even more special this year.“Are you ready to go?” Dante asked me, poking his head into Joan an
“How long has she been in our pack, Alpha?” I heard voices talking before I could open my eyes.“Uh…since like the end of May? So…almost 3 months?”“Okay, so 12 weeks or so you think?” “Sure…let’s go with that. I don’t care about the politics surrounding her. I’ll deal with the council later. Is she going to be okay? What about the pup?” I could hear Dante’s sincere concern and how scared he was, “Will she wake up anytime soon?”“Well, we’ve run some blood panels on her and she seems to be fine physically. We haven’t done an ultrasound on the pup yet. Unfortunately, we do need her consent before doing that. From what we can tell, her blood pressure was really high and could be the culprit that caused her to faint. Have you noticed anything different about her lately? Has she seemed stressed or nervous lately?” I assume the doctor is standing on the other side of my bed asking Dante questions. I keep my eyes closed and try to stay as still as possible as they talk. I’m still not ready
Dante grips my hand in both of his, sitting next to my hospital bed on the other side of the Ultrasound tech and her machine. He’s slouched over, with his elbows resting on my bed as he eagerly watches as Constance continues prepping to do the ultrasound. “S-so…what do I need to do?” I meekly questioned. “Nothing Luna! Just lift your shirt a little higher and maybe unbutton your bottoms or slide them a little below your belly button, like they are hugging your hips?” Constance chimes sweetly. I nodded and pulled my shirt up over my stomach and pushed my pants down to my hips trying not to freak the fuck out. Dante’s eyes grew slightly, beaming with pride as he looked at my belly and placed a hand softly over where my pup is growing in me. I blushed at his touch in front of another person. This is all new to me and I was used to showing this kind of affection - ever. Especially not in public around others. It just felt too…intimate for others’ eyes. And more intimate than I’d ever
As we left the pack hospital, Constance handed me a CD she said was filled with pictures of the pups from the ultrasound machine. I thanked her as we left, taking the CD and handing it to Dante. He looked at it as if it was a priceless treasure.I was in deep thought as Dante guided me back to his room.“Welcome back home beautiful!” Dante beamed with pride.I looked around his room and didn’t notice any difference. I creased my eyebrows in confusion, “Uh…well, we didn’t really leave Dante. And why are your arms stretched out up in the air like you are showing me something totally new for the first time? I’ve seen your room plenty.”He looked at me dumbfounded. “Well, maybe you should have another look around?” He suggestively smirked.I walked around the room, glaring at him with a confused look on my face until I reached the closet. I opened the double doors leading into his massive en suite closet and I realized my clothes were on the other side of the closet from his and a beauti
Dante and I were spending our Sunday in a leisurely and lazy fashion. We were lounging around the pack house, eating, watching movies, and essentially spending the time bonding together while I kept my tummy on display for Dante to rub, kiss, and talk to the pups the entire time.No one was supposed to be at the pack house today except for the Alpha and Beta and their families, which consisted of myself and Joan at the current time. Joan was sick and I was very pregnant so it was a very relaxed day. Jackson spent most of the day up in his and Joan’s living quarters but came downstairs to the great room where we had been lounging all day watching movies to visit when he couldn’t sleep anymore.“How is Joan doing today?” I asked as Jackson plopped down in a recliner near Dante and I. Dante was massaging my feet at that moment.“Still sleeping it off. Still waking up feeling exhausted and sickly. I just need something
