The next hazing club was closer to the pack house than the first one. It was much smaller, and more intimate than I had expected, but just as nice, none-the-less. Joan and I gave each other sideways glances, thinking the same thing before mind-linking one another.‘They think they’re smooth, taking us to these places to taunt and tease us before you get crowned as Luna!’ Joan linked me.‘YEAH! EXACTLY What I was thinking!’ I quietly giggled to myself.‘I’m gunna hold out on Jackson tonight. You think I should? I mean…this is kinda cruel of them, you know?’ Joan asked me in a way to rationalize giving ourselves permission to let our inhibitions down.‘Uh…er…No? Yes? It’s kind of hard to keep up with what you’re throw’n down right now, you know?’ I attempted to explain.‘We need to get back at them for this!’ She said getting straight to the point.‘Yeah - duh! But not by holding out! I’m pregnant and horny. You know how cruel that would be?’ “You ladies wanna tell us what you two seem
As Callen carried me, I wasted no time and began kissing and sucking on his neck, trailing my kisses up and around to his lips, “Mmm…I am tired…but not too tired.”Callen held a wide grin across his face as I nipped and kissed through my mumbles. Dante chuckled, “We see that, Sugar! Why don’t you go get comfortable? Or…do you need some help with that?” He raised an eyebrow at his own suggestion. “Uhh…Nope. I think I can handle it myself!” I innocently smiled as Callen set me down in the bedroom. I walked into the closet, knowing I would use some of that sexy lingerie Joan, Emi, and Terry helped me buy a while back. I thought the sexy black lingerie outfit fitting since Dante had never seen me wear the number before and Callen had seen me wear the lingerie the night we first mated. Since this was the first time I was openly allowing Callen in my bed, it just felt like a form of… redemption?Nonetheless, it just felt so, RIGHT. Thank goodness the ensemble still fit! It was a tight sq
My first official week as Luna of the Lone Star pack felt like a whirlwind! I woke up marked by both of my mates to Joan waiting outside my bedroom for me to get my day started. Joan, being the female beta, is my number two and second in command, next to best friend, so she serves the pack much like my personal assistant with almost everything. She enjoyed the managerial and secretarial tasks I gave her from the start and really has owned her own role in the pack. Not only does she work with me, but because we are both pregnant, we don’t have to get up as early for morning training! I think that might be the ONLY perk of being pregnant at this point! Instead of getting up with my mates to go train every morning, now that we are a mated triplet, I use my extra time to sleep and get up with Joan to fix extravagant breakfasts for the pack after their morning training. Dante and I felt like a well oiled machine when we worked together on something for the pack. When we had meetings about
‘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
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
“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
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
‘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
