Chapter Fifteen 3. Hunter
Last Updated:
2020-09-12 19:48:58Hunter smiled to himself as he felt Celeste and Sally together. His wife was being naughty, but he was more then happy to let them go. After the evening they had all had it was good for them to let off a little steam. He also had no doubt Sally still felt guilty for the outcome of the fight, Celeste could do a lot to ally that fear.
"Are you still with us, Mr North?"
Yuki's Grandmother was an old battle axe. He could see she ruled over her Flock with an iron claw. But he could also see the soft spot she had for both her daughter and granddaughter. Yuki didn't seem to notice it, she often twitched when her grandmother spoke in a particularly harsh way, but Hunter could see it. Her mother, Usagi, also appeared aware, smiling secretly whenever grandmother was not looking. The family dynamic was close and gentle between the three women and it left a smile on his face.
"My mate has just woken up. after she has completed the required tests and has the permission of yo

Even Sally could tell Hunter was keeping something major from them. Celeste was becoming more and more frustrated as the car ride continued. She had sat in the back with Sally out of spite for Hunter’s secret, but he took it on the chin, keeping up a steady stream of conversation. Mostly one sided conversation.It did sound like his meeting with Yuki’s grandmother had gone well at least. The older Matriarch dad been willing to entertain a alliance with the North Clan at least. Yuki had thought so to when Sally had got to say a quick goodbye before they left. Her friend had looked a little forlorn, it had been a long time since she’d been at her family’s home, but it appeared her mother and grandmother weren’t willing for her to leave yet. Tyler had already left in the early morning.“They wont let you miss to many classes,” Sally had pointed out, hating the fact it was the only thing so far that had brought a little hope

Celeste lost count of the amount of times she made Sally come undone in the back of that car. At some point she'd swapped into the middle seat to get closer to her mate. That steering wheel probably had gouges in it from the sheer force of will it had taken Hunter to keep his hands on it.That in itself was telling. Where ever they were going, he didn't want her to know until they were there. The fact he hadn't caved and pulled over, fucking them with in an inch of their lives. Well. Celeste had an inkling she wasn't going to enjoy this.The gps indicated they were getting near their destination, finally. It appeared to be just more bush land, though Celeste could see some houses just past the tree line. She could only wonder who Hunter has brought them to see.“If you have finished punishing me you might want to tidy yourselves up a little. We’re almost there.”The words were mostly unnecessary as they could all see the litt

"Celeste North! You get your hair butt back here!"Hunter had guessed she would run. It was the main reason for not telling her he'd found her Nona. He'd employed Memphis often over the years, and when he became aware of the Elder's scheming he'd asked him to find her and keep tabs on her whereabouts, just in case. Celeste would never come to Nona for help, even when she needed it the most.Nona did not look like her 74 years, she stood on the porch of her home, hands on her hips as she watched her granddaughter race away. She shook her before turning to Hunter. He smiled cheekily and she rolled her eyes."It's taken you long enough, Boy. I expected you to bring her here a lot sooner.""Sorry for the wait, Nona," he laughed, striding up the stairs to pull her into a hug. She came willingly with a laugh of her own, thumping him on the back. "She hasn't wanted to disturb you."A very unladylike snort followed his words but she looked over

"Celeste?"Sally stood at the edge of the bushland, a pair of borrowed boots on her feet. She wished they had had time to stop at her home, she missed her jeans, but for now cargo pants that were a size too big would have to do.The bushland was growing on her. Once she had been sure it never would, but instead she found herself drawn to the thin trees, the crunch of the leaves under her feet. She would now and forever equate the dry land with her mates. She could almost see Hunter's lion form slinking through the trees. But it wasn't Hunter she was looking for. Nona didn't seem at all phased by Celeste's disappearance, and though she could see it eating at Hunter, he'd received a phone call from the Office and had to be the CEO.So she'd snuck out of the house, making her way to the bush quickly. But now she stood there, unsure. Celeste obviously didn't want to see anyone. Including her, or she would have responded when she had tried to reach out. B

Celeste wasn’t sure anything could be worse then having to contact her Nona to help fix this awful mess. She had fought and clawed her way through as the Clan's Matriarch for a good forty years before Celeste. She had brought up Celeste's father on her own with no partner or mate. She had dropped off the grid for this reason, to not end up in Clan politics ever again.And here she was, the granddaughter bringing it all over again."Don't give me that look, Celeste," she said briskly, placing a mug before her. She remembered she liked tea in the afternoon. Frowning she paused at Sally, placing the back of her hand to her forehead. After a moment she shook her head, then sat down in the seat next to Celeste. "I said I wanted to go into retirement, not have nothing to do with the Clan ever again. I had expected you to visit long before now."Celeste raised her eyebrow, not buying it. "And that's why you didn't leave any contact information?"She

Hunter chuckled, leaning over toward his mates. He buried his fingers in Sally's hair, both hands holding her face, pulling her in for a deep kiss. She moaned happily against him, crawling from Celeste's lap and into his, straddling his body, arching against him. Celeste joined his laugh, shifting slightly to pull their chairs together. now Sally was bracketed between them, something that delighted their little mate beyond words. She squirmed as Celeste moved her hair, letting her lips trail down her neck."Did hearing you had to mark us turn you on, Little Human?" Celeste purred against Hunter's mark, making them both groan around her."You tease," Hunter gasped as he broke from Sally, gasping for air as the tingles assaulted him. Celeste knew just what to do to force him undone."I'm not a tease," she laughed, using the moment to untuck Sally's top, inching it up her skin. "In fact, you should be the first to take her mark."As the shirt cam

Marking her mates had been everything she’d hoped for when Nona had said it was an option. She had exploded and her body curled in on itself, the only thing she’d been able to do was wrap herself around them and bite down on their chests, one after another. Sally had even been proud as punch when Hunter had passed out for a few moments. He had been bemused but a good sport, he’d been tickled by the idea that they had to get Celeste to black out from sex. It was a challenge Celeste had vetoed, but they all knew it wouldn’t stop Sally or Hunter from trying to do it.They spent the night in bed together at Nona’s home, cuddled around each other as Sally digested this news. She was not entirely human. A month ago it would have been unthinkable, but now she wore the marks of a Hyena and a Lion, and her best friend was an Owl. Finding out at least one of her ancestors was not human was part of the course.“You’d be hard pressed

Celeste took a deep breath. They stood at the edge of Clan land. It had been Hunter's idea to walk in. It would give Luna time. Celeste still believed her sister was a pawn in all this. Whilst they didn't get along, and hadn't since they were small, Luna loved the Clan. It was all she was."We can leave this a few days," Sally shifted next to her, feeding on the general feel of her mates. They were all on edge.Celeste took another breath, forcing herself to calm down. Sally was the one taking the risks in the first instant. After would be her turn after; she could be worried then. She took Sally's hand in her own. "Are you already for your camp out?"Sally rolled her eyes. "There's something to be said for having richer then sin Mates. I had no idea how many creature comforts could be brought in miniature form and stuffed into cargo pants. I hope I can remember how to build a fire, Brownies was a long time ago and I hated it."Hunter took her other

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
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Twenty Two 1. Sally
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
