Semua Bab The CEO's Wife's Mate: Bab 51 - Bab 60

 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

 Luna could only stare at her grand mother in shock. as far as she knew no one in the Clan had seen her in the 8 years since she'd left. She was certain her parents knew where she'd been, they were all so close, but none of them had ever answered her when she'd asked to see her.  Celeste never seemed phased, to Luna she had stepped into the role of Matriarch with ease, dragging the Clan along with her as she changed everything Nona had ever done.And here Nona was, to support her twin and her new mate.Luna seethed silently, trying to stem both her jealousy and anger. Even though the wavering of support had made it possible for Luna to defeat her sister, there was enough dissent that she was having trouble keeping them on task. If this was what Celeste had to deal with every day Luna was ready to leave her to it. Any of the things she tried to return to there old states were met with refusal. It was exhausting and unforgiving.How had she never noticed

 Sally held the bowl in her hands. Celeste watched it, it was very old, she’d seen it in the library before but hadn’t realised the significance. The smell from it was potent and it was all she could do to not cover her nose against it. Part of wanted to stop Sally, but she also watched with pride as she took sips.The liquid did something to Sally. She felt like a big fluffy blanket in her mind. The more she drank, the longer it settled in her system, the less like herself she felt. Like she was becoming more and more blurry. Hunter didn’t move, but she could feel him become more and more unsettled. She held onto his hand tightly. They had to keep it together for their mate.With her last gulp she set the bowl beside her, her body swaying slightly. The fuzzy feeling only increased.“Sally Smith, you are mate of Celeste and Hunter North,” Nona’s voice was smooth, almost guiding Sally to respond.“Yes, I am,&r

 Sally hated the taste of the... well, whatever it was called. It made the bowl warmer then it should be at this time of the afternoon and just had a weird taste and consistency. She had to force herself not to gag at the flavour and to empty the bowl. Whatever it was it was incredibly potent, even as she tried to lick the furriness from her teeth she could feel a tingle run over her skin. It made her feel instantly light headed, faster then any alcohol she'd ever had.She looked closely at Nona, but things were starting to become fuzzy. The colours around her seemed to heighten, becoming almost dream like while the edges of things seemed to blur. Sally had never done anything more potent then pot, having her vision change was unnerving in more ways then one. Her connection to her mates felt like a big fluffy scarf stretching back to them. Even the sounds around her seemed more potent, they felt like she was in a constant echo.“Sally Smith, you are mate of

 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
