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
After the appointment is over and the photos and CD are prepared like our last appointment, I hand the CD to Callen.“What is this?” He asked.“Something for you to remember the pups by and show who you would like,” I kindly smiled, hoping this would further mend the bad blood between the three of us.“Oh…thanks,” he sheepishly said.When we made our way back to the great room to lay down and lounge to sort out things, Callen was back to his old self.“This only furthers my determination to keep you safe with me,” He explained through gritted teeth, in an attempt to control his anger as much as Dante.“I choose to stay with my fated mate.” I stood my ground. I wasn’t going anywhere with him.“You’re lucky I don’t kill you where you stand for assaulting MY mate.” Dante growled before I could stop him.“She was MY CHOSEN before
That night, Dante and I made love so many times, I lost track of time and really everything except the moment we had encapsulated ourselves in.We eventually made our way downstairs after much needed rest, a shower, and getting dressed for the day to realize it was past lunch time.“What have you two been up to all this time?” Shaylee snickered to herself, leaned up against the counter, snacking on a piece of toast.“Oh…you know…planning for upcoming things,” I smiled at her, hoping she wouldn’t razz us about the noises coming from our room at all hours of the night last night.Dante went up to Shaylee and gave her a hug before going to grab some leftovers out of the fridge from earlier today. He heated the leftovers up and put some on a plate for myself and him before settling down at the bar stool next to me.As Dante began to dig into his food, Shaylee shouted in a shocked tone, “Dant
‘It’s the pups!’ I responded to Dante through our link.Before I could say anything to Shaylee, Dante was at the door, rushing to my side.“What’s wrong?! I’m here! I can take you to the pack doctor. C`mon, let’s hurry!” Dante began in a panic to try and pick me up and carry me.“Dante, stop!” I laughed at him and he froze looking up at me confused.“What? You said something was wrong with the pups!” His eyes pierced mine with a look of love, concern and worry.“No! I said, it’s the pups. I didn’t say anything was wrong!” I laughed at him. He was so cute and I loved how much care he put into everything for me.“Then what? What is it Celeste? You’ve got me freaking out like something is wrong!” Dante was now irritated and confused.I took in a deep breath and exhaled with a deep sigh, “Just giv
A month had passed since Dante's unfortunate incident with the council and seeing his father. Everything was calming down, yet I was growing huge. I didn't know how much longer I had before I was going to pop. Carrying twins was exhausting. I was starving all the time, my feel were swelling, I was horny all the time, and I was beginning to feel irritable no matter what either one of my mates did for me. "Robyn, love, where are you?" I heard the sound of Dante's melodic voice call for me from the other room. "In here!" I yelled back. I wasn't much for moving around these days, choosing to lounge in different areas of the pack house in my swollen state. Dante walked into the sunroom at the back of the pack house where I enjoyed basking in the rays of sunshine in a cozy giant daybed swing that I loved to lay on while reading. "Hey baby!" I smiled as he leaned over to kiss me on the forehead. "How are you feeling?" Dante brushed a strand of hair out of my face before hoping into
I let a soft, quieted moan escape my lips as I began to softly massage my clit, imagining all the ways my two sexy mates could ravish my body. My wetness gradually increased as I slid two fingers into my core, in a feeble attempt to alleviate the growing tension building in my body with the need of release. “Mmm, yes,” I moaned out, no longer attempting to mask my noises. As I reached a new level of sexual frustration, not able to give myself the release I needed, I heard a low growl come from my left, as the once sleeping Alpha awoke to the scent of my suffocating arousal and moans. “Callen,” I moaned out, desperate for relief, “mmm, please…touch me.” I was still fingering myself, rubbing my clit, miserably failing to escalate my arousal to the peaks I needed for release. “Oh kitten,” Callen groaned, rolling to face me as he reached into my panties to replace my hand’s ministrations with his own. The second his touch met my clit, jolts of tingles surged through my entire bod
I stiffened upon hearing the deep and sinister voice of Hades. Dante noticed and quickly pulled away from our embrace to soothe me, "Hey, hey...it's okay," he smiled at me, brushing a strand of hair back behind my ear that had shaken loose."Yes, father. It is my pleasure to introduce you to my FATED MATE, Celeste O'Brien!" Dante beamed with pride as he shook his father's hand and presented me to him.What do you say when given the opportunity to meet Hades, Satan, himself? Especially after finding out that all the "old wives tales" and myths about him were all fabrications of stretched truths from times long, long ago. How was Dante's father this powerful and Dante never mentioned the fact that he too was a demi-god? It seems like that should have come up in conversation at SOME point in our relationship right? I would have to table that conversation for another day and time with Dante."It's very nice to finally meet you...your majesty," I smiled, curtsying in front of him."Oh com
I didn't have time to process the information Callen just told me before the council chamber doors began to open. "The council is now in session!" Shouted one of the council men that appeared to be taking notes or like the secretary for the council. "Ah, Secretary Shadied I see you are still running things just as SHADY as ever!" Callen growled almost immediately upon entering the chambers, holding tight to my hand as we walked in. The council chambers were grand and intimidating to say the least. Each council member sat high up in a seat at least 5 to 8 feet above where we stood on golden podiums, except for this Secretary Shadied, which sat about three feet above us as he clicked and clacked away on his computer, taking notes of what was happening in the meeting. I saw the man Callen called Shady roll his eyes as he continued ignoring Callen. "What is the meaning of your presence in the council chambers? State your business and be gone," bellowed one of the older, chubbier me
‘No…it’s no lie Celeste. I’ve been down here before and I have never been able to mind-link anyone in the pack when down here. NO ONE has. Ever.’ Dante stated clearly through the link. I knew why I could reach him when no one else could. But was I ready to admit that even to myself? I mean…it had been confirmed to me and Callen, but I guess I hadn’t really processed what that really MEANT. ‘Tell me the truth Celeste. Why are you down here and how the fuck did you get passed all the guards and councilmen without being seen? And WHERE THE FUCK IS CALLEN? That bastard is supposed to be with you every second that I’m not at your side! Real fucking fantastic job he’s doing there if you’re all the way down here.’ Dante growled angrily and with a hint of sarcasm aimed at Callen. ‘Why are you getting upset with me? I’m not down there with you! I…I didn’t sneak down there. I wouldn’t even know where to find the entrance!....And Callen IS with me!’ I argued with him. ‘BULLSHIT CELESTE! NO O
When we got home, Callen carried everything inside so I could just waddle up to the bedroom to rest, but upon entering the packhouse I was bombarded by Jackson and Joan panicked and freaking out. “Luna! They arrested Dante!” Jackson quickly reported as he stood at attention waiting for orders. “They WHAT!?” I shouted. “It’s true Celeste. Jackson was called to the council chambers and informed that he is acting Alpha until further notice,” Joan looked at me sympathetically but I could tell she was freaking out on the inside. ‘Jackson doesn’t know the first thing about being an Alpha, Celeste! He doesn’t want to be the Alpha and is freaking the fuck out!’ Joan quickly mind-linked me before Jackson could see what she was doing and stop her. “Okay…slow down…why did they arrest him?” I asked as I began taking slow, steadying breaths to prevent myself from falling into a panic. “The council claims that Alpha Xander denies ever allowing you to come to the Lone Star pack. He is adam
“Are you ready to find out what you are having Luna?” the nice Ultrasound tech asked as she began squeezing the cold goo onto my stomach like they do every time I am here. I smiled, holding Callen’s hand, “Yeah, we’re all anxious to know! Hold on! Let’s try and call Dante first!” I used my other hand to pull my phone out and put Dante on speakerphone. The tech kept prepping everything and turning machines on and doing whatever she needed to in order to get this going while the phone rang over and over in my hand. I got nervous, hoping Dante would pick up. When it flipped to voicemail and his greeting took over, I frowned, ending the call and putting the phone back in my pocket. Callen felt my sadness through the bond, I’m sure of it, because he immediately picked my chin up with his finger, forcing me to look into his eyes, “Hey…none of that today.” He smiled, kissing my lips. I could tell that made the ultrasound tech REALLY uncomfortable. I hoped we could all sit down soon to
Since Callen was so excited to go with me for my check up, he was glued to my side the rest of the afternoon. After saying goodbye to Joan, Callen hoisted me up off the couch.“What do you need in order to leave? Dante texted me the location of the builder. My car is out front.” Callen asked while checking his phone to confirm where he was taking me.“Uhhm, I think I just need to grab my purse and shoes,” I sighed as I glanced around the area in search of my sandals and purse. I saw them laying on a table by the grand foyer entrance and headed in that direction with Callen following behind me.The drive to the builder didn’t take long. His office was located not far from the center of town and the pack house. Upon pulling into the parking lot of the office building with the inscription ‘Divinity Custom Home Design Center’ scrawled across the glass windows of the building, I noticed how high end and upscale this building appeared and upon entering, it continued to impress. The architec
‘Celeste!’ Dante mind-linked me, interrupting the time Callen and I had been sharing and bonding.‘What?’ I was annoyed at the interruption and he felt it.‘Where are you?! Jackson can’t find you, your scent is fading across the pack house and Joan has lost her damn mind thinking someone has kidnapped you!’ Dante growled.Geez, I hadn’t even left the pack house and my scent was so faint…where in the pack house were we? How far away from everyone else were we?“Uh…Callen? Where are we in the pack house?” I asked him, breaking the soothing silence we had been basking in together.‘CELESTE, WHERE ARE YOU?!’ Dante screamed through the link, now sounding panicked. “We’re in the basement. I have always liked the solidarity down here. I find it relaxing and calming. I grew up in this room…whenever I was here, I mean.” Callen quickly explained and corrected himself. I got the idea that he really wasn’t raised by his real father, and in fact, was raised by Dante’s father all this time.‘RELAX
