Chapter Thirteen 2. Celeste
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"How are you feeling?"
Celeste and Hunter lay on either side of Sally as she came back to them. Celeste brushed her curls from her face, though her eyes stayed close she frowned slightly, making her nose crinkle a little.
"I feel like i fainted when I came. Like I'm 16 or something." Sally pouted and Celeste watched as Hunter took her into his arms, kissing away the pout.
"You know perfectly well that was not the reason," he said when he pulled back, her eyes blinking up at him. "You just took a second mark, Most humans's would have passed out."
"I guess," then she sighed and cozied into Hunter's hold. "It was fucken amazing to. I don't think I've ever cum that hard before."
It was Celeste's turn to chuckle before she crawled over top of Sally's body, delighting in how her eyes widened. "Challenge accepted," she purred before kissing the sense out of her young mate.

Nothing could ruin this day, Celeste decided as they

"What is happening?" Sally cried out as the two sisters shifted suddenly. Hunter kept a hand tight to her shoulder.He would be lying if he said he didn't expect this, he had thought they'd have more time before the Elders had stepped in, but it made sense. If he was in the boardroom it would have been the perfect strategy. Celeste's strength was heightened by the Clan's support and faith. When it was shaky her bond to them was loose. And as her sister with the support of the Elders, Luna could press that further."It's all right, little human, your mate has a handle on this."Sally looked over at him then, actually turning to face him with her head cocking to the side. Her hazel eyes shadowing, the spark of green intensifying. "I can tell when you lie to me, Hunter."Her eyes returned to the Hyena's in front of her and her panic intensified. Hunter couldn't spend too long on her words, there was too much going on. Celeste was the faster shift

Sally woke with a startled cry. It took sometime to get her bearing’s right as her eyes came back into focus. Until she could her breathing as deep and laboured and there was a stinging pain to her temple.She was lying on her bed, alone. Her finger’s brushed gently at her temple. There was a bandage there. She searched her mind, becoming sick with worry at the same time. Celeste had been fighting Luna while Sally had stood on the sidelines. It was hard to piece together, but she had been immersed in the feelings and reactions of her mates. The worry and fear had hit her two fold and had left her trembling. It had fed into her own panic until she couldn’t handle it anymore.She had to stop it.Sally sat up slowly, cringing at the throbbing pain and the spike of nausea. She had to wait for the world to stop spinning before she could take stock. She was still in her clothing for their trip to the Clan House, and even though the sun ha

"Thank you," Hunter said quietly in the dim car. He couldn't be sure how long ago Sally had drifted off, but it had been a while. They had fallen into silence, and while Yuki and Tyler had settled comfortably, he knew neither were asleep. Tyler opened one eye from where his head rested against the passenger window."Thank you for helping me get them out of there."With Sally slung over his shoulder he had moved to try and lift Celeste when Tyler had stepped up without a word. Luna had not moved to stop them and her presence alone had stopped any other Clan member from challenging them. It had taken a while, even together Celeste was a unweilding weight to carry. Luna's last attack had done some damage, and she bled profusely over them before Tyler had been able to stem the flow in the car.Now Tyler shot him a tired grin, stroking his hand down Yuki's feathers. "Celeste is the head of our Clan, no matter what the old pricks might say.&nbs
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Fourteen 3. Yuki
Yuki was not surprised when she took to the air at the sound of the flock answering her calls. They might be daytime owls, but strangers incoming to Flock lands would keep most of them awake all night. Change was not something that came easy or often to her people. Thousands of years of tradition didn’t stop just because they’d immigrated to Australia::You have returned Granddaughter::Her grandmother’s voice was always a mess of contradictions. How could one person sound gentle and firm at the same time? Welcoming and disapproving in one breath. It always left her on the back foot when it came to their conversations. But, to be completely fair, the whole family suffered from the same trouble. Only Yuki’s mother had ever seemed unaffected by her verbal sparring. Yuki was forever grateful her mother was usually on her side.It had been her influence that had ensured she remained in school with Sally. That her best friend

Hunter dropped a kiss to the top of her head. She sat in a small room in one the houses. When Yuki had said her family had many doctors, she wasn't expecting a whole medical building. They had Celeste on a bed and a older man had checked her over already, the bandage had been removed as her wounds had healed. She still hadn't shifted or woken though and Sally tried to curb her worry."You're safe here," Hunter knelt before her chair, his hands on her knees his golden eyes watching her. “And I need you to stay with Celeste.”Sally shot him a smile, “you don’t have to babysit me, Mate.” She teased him gently, stroking his knuckles with her thumbs. “This is a lot, but you need to do your thing.”“You are the best sort of distraction,” he grinned up at her. “I’ll send Yuki back once we get things started.”She lent down to drag his lips to hers. She already missed kissing him and it had b
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Fifteen 2. Celeste
Her body ached in a way she had never felt before. The hollow feeling seemed to pull at all her joints and tendons, dragging her down, holding her still. It echoed around her skull and took her a long time to figure out what was happening.The connection with her Clan was gone.As her eyes blinked at the grey ceiling it crashed down on her, leaving her gasping for breath. They were all just gone.Sally wrapped herself around her instantly. She trembled, the grief running on feedback between them. Sally was so attuned to her, to both of them, and so soon after mating. Celeste wrapped her arms her body, bringing her Mate closer, breathing her in."I'm here," she whispered, clinging to her. "Not going anywhere.""I know."There was a soft cough and Celeste's eyes rested on the Asian man by the bed. Obviously a Doctor with a white coat and a clipboard in his hands. His hair was a dead give away; mostly black but the occasional white

Hunter 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
The CEO's Wife's Mate Chapter Sixteen 1. Sally
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

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
