Chapter Eight 2. Celeste
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56:I don’t think you have to worry, my mate: Hunter’s voice was gentle, calm in her mind. :I know your nervous, but Sally is mostly infatuated with you. Please trust her:
And her husband disappeared into the bedroom where the ensuite was.
Celeste nuzzled against Sally’s neck, breathing in her scent of burning bushland, even heavier with the arousal pulsing through her.
“There’s more?” Sally breathed, sounding a little overwhelmed.
Celeste chuckled, lifting herself head a little to kiss her lips languishely. “Let’s take this to the bedroom, my poor little human.”
Sally managed a pout, but allowed Celeste to lead her by the hand from the couch. Celeste knew she shouldn’t be nervous, nothing in Sally’s manner said she’d worry at all how Celeste looked between her legs. It didn’t appease the worry though.
She’d been so happy when Hunte

The ladies showered, but one after another. Hunter was sure they were exhausted after the late night and then the excitement of the day. The Clan didn’t do things in halves, that was for sure.Hunter snuck down stairs to get them some sandwiches, they had all missed lunch. He was lucky, he passed very few Clan members on his journey. He shouldn’t have been surprised his luck didn’t last as he got ready to leave the kitchen with the food and some bottles of water.“So what’s up with you two and your PA?” Tyler stood in the doorway. He’d obviously been out with the rest of the Clan, just left in his pants and his tattoos. His arms were crossed over his chest. Hunter was happy to note it didn’t appear to be angry, just curious.“How about a big lot of ‘Noneya’? As in ‘None ya business’?”Tyler’s eyes rolled, “I get it’s none of my business. Just

Yuki looked at her in something akin to disbelief. “I thought you were on death’s bed yesterday, but not only are you ‘well’ enough to head out today but you were gone most of yesterday to. Spill wench! What’s going on?”Sally cringed. Her best friend was too perceptive. She stood before her, ready to head off to her classes with her backpack slung over her shoulder. Yuki huffed a piece of her white and black hair out of her face, glaring at her.Sally decided mostly truth was the safe way to go.“Hunter took me out, we met up with Celeste. There were sandwiches,” Sally didn’t get any further before Yuki gave an exited chirp and jumped at her.“I thought it must’ve gone junk the other night when you didn’t tell me all about it yesterday, but look at you, stud! Two lovers? I’d be super jealous if it didn’t sound like a tonne of work,” Yuki gushed exc
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Nine 2. Celeste
For Celeste, Saturday took too long to arrive. In the end she knew it was only two days, but it was two days full of appointments and meetings that meant she couldn't spend the time she wanted to with Sally. Not that she didn't sneak dalliances here and there. She'd noticed Hunter had to. She could smell the Lion on her when she'd found Sally in the break room Thursday afternoon. His scent hung around her and there was no way Celeste could help herself from pushing Sally up against the table and lifting her face up to sample those sweet lips.Sally, to her credit had clung to her jacket's lapels and molded her small form to Celeste's curves.The whole two days was a battle between the three of them, dancing around each other but never actually meeting all together. Celeste made sure of it. She wanted to give Sally the time she needed to come to terms with everything without having to worry about being influenced by the mate bond any more then necessar

Hunter loved the spot they chose. He let Celeste drive so he could sit in the back with Sally and wind her long hair around his hands. Sally wasn’t exactly idle, even belted in her hand skimmed over the seam of his slacks. Every time her questing hand went just a little too high, Celeste would growl lowly and they’d smirk at each other.Sally liked to tease and Hunter enjoyed pandering to her slightest whim. The fact that Celeste couldn’t do much about it only amused him more. He could practically see her running a cost analysis to hire a chauffeur everywhere so she didn’t have to miss out.“Where are you taking me?” Sally caved after the city gave way to farm land. There was bush land ahead and she angled her head to see it better.“Not much further now,” Hunter laughed. “Just a little patch we own that backs onto the same bushland as the Clan house.”“And I don’t have to worry
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Ten 1. Sally
It had been a surreal week. Sally sighed, enjoying the bath Celeste had drawn her. New job, lusting after her bosses, finding out shifters existed and that she had a mate. She watched bubbles from the soap pop on her skin, love at first sight was a thing and a thing that happened to her.THAT was probably the hardest thing to come to terms with. Having a mate meant there was someone out their destined for everyone, or at least every shifter anyway. What happened if your mate was homophobic? Maybe their religion meant you couldn’t be together? Or was abusive?What if somewhere you were stuck with the person you meant to be with and all they did was ruin you, day in, day out?Sally hugged her knees, grateful Celeste and Hunter didn’t appear to be inclined to be that way, but they’d only known each other a week.“What’s got a frown on your face like that?” Celeste joined her, passing her the glass of water she&

“How about you tell me when you’re going to mark me?”Celeste stopped the spatula from crashing to the floor by sheer force of will rather then anything else. Her mate’s were going to be the death of her she decided ruthfully. Both of them were going to keep her on her toes forever, she decided. Hopefully they never decided to pool their forces, but Celeste was sure it was only a matter of time before that happened.She put the spatula down, deciding working on dinner at this point would be a hopeless endeavour and pinned her young mate with her gaze. Celeste crossed her arms over her chest, watching Sally closely.“And why would you want to know that little Mate?”The scent of her arousal flooded the room and Celeste had to bite back a grown at the smokey wave that passed over her. Sally liked her voice gruff and growly apparently and Celeste tucked that thought away for later use.Sally bit her bottom lip
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Ten 3. Luna
When it finally happened, Luna was having dinner with the rest of the Clan who lived at the Clan house. Of all the changes that had happened in recent times, the acquisition of the bigger Clan Lands was the one with the least amount of push back.Luna could understand her sister's anger in regards to that. It certainly made the Old guard of the Elders seem like a materialistic lot. They were, Luna had conceded with her twin on that. They wanted what was best for the Clan, but got bogged in their own comfort as being what was best for everyone. But they had lived long, and they were the stories of the Clan.Luna gave them the respect their age and wisdom deserved, while Celeste fought with them over every change that was made.She was talking to her seat mate when Celeste's joyous voice cried out through the matriarch bond.:Welcome my new Mate Sally to the Clan:Whilst the yips and yowls filled her mind and the air surrounding her, Luna
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Eleven 1. Sally
For the week after her evening with Celeste, work was intriguing.Celeste had warned her that being mated to each other was not something she would be able to hide from the Clan. As Sally understood it she was going to mind link them, with Sally's permission. It didn't make any sense to not tell them; there was no way she would be able to hide the mark from them.That had become obvious when Hunter had arrived at the apartment with the Chinese they would have for dinner. He had known, but upon entering he had stalked across the space to Sally in the lounge room, taking her into his arms. He had kissed her within an inch of her life, leaving her breathless before burying his nose against the already healed scar tissue."You smell like Celeste," he'd murmured reverently. "I didn't think you could smell any more amazing."He had sat on an arm chair alone, watching them hungrily through out dinner. Sheepishly he told Sally he didn't think he'd be able to cont

Six Months Later"Mamma!"Sally was delighted when the other petite red head opened her door and squealed. It had been a long time since she'd been home and enveloped in the warm place that was her home. It was wonderful to see the woman hadn't changed even though Sally hadn't seen her in over a year."Josh," Her mother practically screamed back into the house, "Sally's home!"Hunter chuckled behind her, "I understand what Yuki meant now."Sally lifted an eyebrow at her mate over her shoulder, waiting for him to to expand on his thought. She didn't have to wait long."That you get more then your beauty from your mother," he grinned cheekily and Sally imagined the punishment he would get later. He shivered a little at her stray thought before stepping forward. "Hunter North, madame, those video calls never prepared me for your beauty." He kissed the back of her hand while winking at Sally.She shared a look with Celeste ove

Hunter held Celeste's hip steady in one hand while he lifted the zip on her dress with the other. She looked stunning, the pale cream dress hugged her curves and complemented her chocolate skin perfectly. and the way she smiled at him over her shoulder told him she could practically read his mind.She turned, placing her hands on his chest, smoothing them up to his silver tie, fixing the placing. Still grinning she patted him over his heart. "Keep it in your pants big boy, you can eat me later.""I will hold you to that, wife!"She chuckled, sashaying away to check her hair and makeup one last time. Celeste looked perfect, but he loved to watch her preen. Actually, he loved to watch her do basically anything."Luna says the Clan is already there, are you ready?"He laughed, cocking an elbow for her to slip her arm through. "For you my love? Always."***Hunter was happy to say he'd never seen the place look nicer. The Clan had d

Celeste watched, biting her lip as Sally slipped out of her clothes. Her tiny mate was sin personified and she didn't even seem to notice it. Before she had a chance to go any further, Celeste grabbed her by the braid, gently tugging her to a stand still. Celeste bulled out the hair tie, separating the curls quickly till they flowed down her shoulder blades."Better," she purred, "I like having something to hold onto when you go down on me."Sally grinned cheekily, "who says I'm going down on you this time?"Celeste just smiled before swatting her arse, sending her towards the shower with a squeal.The hot water had steamed up the bathroom fairly quickly. Even though the space was supposed to be the ensuite, Celeste had made sure when they brought the apartment that it was large enough to fit the two of them more then comfortably. She was grateful for the extra space now there were three of them. The shower cubical spanned a wall and had two l

Sally could not deny in anyway how relieved she was that it was all over. That they had done what they had set out to do, and in one night no less. It was going to be a long time before she was use to Clan members just ‘popping in’ to her brain. Some just wanted to check in on her, while the young cubs who had no mate yet thought of it as a cool game to play. Aside from the Matriarch or your mate, this connection was very rare in shifter circles apparently. The fact she was linked to the whole Clan was going to be the talking point for some time to come.She sighed against Celeste, burrowing into her arms as they sat with the Clan. She wanted to go to bed, and soon, but she was also delighted to sit here among her new family as they revealed her addition to their Clan.Tyler sat on Celeste's other side and Sally opened her mouth to say something but was cut short upon noticing four deep scratches on his chest, just above his heart. Four marks th
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Twenty One 3. Hunter
Hunter had pulled on a pair of boxes before he had laid down next to Sally. Her breathing was starting to even and she looked like she was finally starting to actually rest. He pressed his body against her back, just needing to hold her for a while, taking in the scent of fire in her hair. She was just so many things, and the trouble would be over now.Ensuring the Clan had two Matriarchs would work in everyone's favour. Luna liked to be here more then anywhere else, she would be able to appease the old fogies more then Celeste ever could and give the illusion of them having some sort of power. They would also keep each other honest, ensuring both of the sister's had the Clan's interests at heart.::Will you be long?:: he prodded Celeste gently ::You should be here when she wakes.::::I will try not to be,:: she sounded flustered and it made him smile. ::Everyone wants to talk to me, but I'll leave Luna to it soon.::At least most of the Clan was legitima
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Twenty One 2. Celeste
Celeste barely had a moment to step forward as the bowl dropped from Sally's fingers and she went down like a sack of shit. Hunter was right with her as Sally's mind appeared to scream out before it was gone. Last night their Mate bond had felt fuzzy, now it felt like it was entirely gone. Holding her mate to her chest she bared her teeth at the women in front of her."What have you done?" she snarled before a mighty wind rushed out from the bush, snuffing out the torches as the last of the light of dusk leached out of the sky. The echos of a hyena wail filled the air and Celeste held Sally's body even closer to her own, trying to shield her from whatever was coming.Because out of the tree line walked five of the largest hyenas she had ever seen. Their coats seemed to be made out of starlight and they didn't appear to be entirely there. It took her far longer then it should have to realise these were the ancestors Sally had talked of non stop this morning. Still, she felt a little saf
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Twenty One 1. Sally
Sally clung so tight to Celeste and Hunter’s hands she was sure she was cutting off the circulation. She couldn’t help it. She was beyond terrified. Everything about this frightened her.Nona had explained, in detail, that they couldn’t be sure what this would do to her. It was akin to becomeing the Matriarch, it would connect her to the Clan in a way no one else was. The books and stories were very vague on what occurred to the Mate, it appeared the last one had been completed before the Clan had transitioned to a written history. Which was swell. What did exist said she’d either fail or pass.Her mind swam with 'what ifs'. What if she died? What if she survived but still failed? What would that look like? Would she go crazy? Would she be locked inside her own mind and be a drooling mess?So far no one thought so, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t happen.Celeste squeezed her hand back, pressing her warm lips to S
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Twenty 3. Hunter
Sally lay between them, spooned by Celeste and her head on Hunter's chest. He stroked a gentle hand up and down her arm as she talked in the dark room, both exhausted and wired all at once. Whenever she paused to breathe one of them would reminder her she should be resting.After the last time Hunter looked over her red head, catching Celeste's amused eye. They were both tired and relieved too, and tonight was likely to be just as exhausting and terrifying. He raised an eyebrow and Celeste nodded.Mid sentence Hunter tilted Sally's face from his chest, bearing down on her open lips. He took advantage of them being parted, running his tongue along the bottom lip before dipping into her mouth. Sally moaned in surprise, but slid her tongue along his, kissing back forcefully. He rolled, pulling her on top of him, settling so she was lying on his chest. Her small warm form molded to his as she tasted him and he could feel Celeste's golden eyes watching them. He
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Twenty 2. Tyler
Tyler was beyond relieved when Sally came out of the bushland. His Mate’s best friend looked beyond exhausted, but she was all smiles and laughter. And she had passed the second of the tests. He looked over the crowd of the Clan, instantly finding Yuki’s dark head. Even without the claim, he had no trouble finding her.As he moved closer he could see that she sensed him too. When her silver eyes caught his they took his breath away. She looked relieved, her fear for her friend had been obvious when she’d arrived last night. Luna had been amused and had teased him on whether they’d be sharing a room or not. She was more like her sister then she knew. They hadn’t shared a room, he wasn’t sure if he’d be welcome.All that mattered to him right now was that Yuki was here, that she was at his home and among his family.“You see, she is safe, Celeste wouldn’t let her out there if she thought there would be tr
