That night, Dante and I made love so many times, I lost track of time and really everything except the moment we had encapsulated ourselves in.
We eventually made our way downstairs after much needed rest, a shower, and getting dressed for the day to realize it was past lunch time.
“What have you two been up to all this time?” Shaylee snickered to herself, leaned up against the counter, snacking on a piece of toast.
“Oh…you know…planning for upcoming things,” I smiled at her, hoping she wouldn’t razz us about the noises coming from our room at all hours of the night last night.
Dante went up to Shaylee and gave her a hug before going to grab some leftovers out of the fridge from earlier today. He heated the leftovers up and put some on a plate for myself and him before settling down at the bar stool next to me.
As Dante began to dig into his food, Shaylee shouted in a shocked tone, “Dant
‘It’s the pups!’ I responded to Dante through our link.Before I could say anything to Shaylee, Dante was at the door, rushing to my side.“What’s wrong?! I’m here! I can take you to the pack doctor. C`mon, let’s hurry!” Dante began in a panic to try and pick me up and carry me.“Dante, stop!” I laughed at him and he froze looking up at me confused.“What? You said something was wrong with the pups!” His eyes pierced mine with a look of love, concern and worry.“No! I said, it’s the pups. I didn’t say anything was wrong!” I laughed at him. He was so cute and I loved how much care he put into everything for me.“Then what? What is it Celeste? You’ve got me freaking out like something is wrong!” Dante was now irritated and confused.I took in a deep breath and exhaled with a deep sigh, “Just giv
Joan was able to calm my nerves and screw my head back on the right way so-to-speak after my panicked meltdown in her room earlier today. I thanked her and eventually ordered her as her future Luna to take a pregnancy test since she was acting like I did when I first got here. I had this gut feeling that she was pregnant, but Joan didn’t say one way or the other about if her and Jackson had been trying for a pup, or just being stupid and irresponsible when mating. Joan said she would tell me the results after the Luna Ceremony tomorrow and I agreed.Shaylee was running around like a chicken with her head cut off while trying to make everything perfect for my Luna ceremony AND she knew the sooner that day passed, the sooner she could be on the road on her own journey towards her mate, or at least that is what she hoped.I heard my phone ping that I had a text message so I lazily pulled the phone from my pocket as I lounged in the great room of the pack house
“Here Dante!” I shouted in response to his call out to me.He came barreling down the stairs with a smile plastered across his face. I smiled when I saw how lit up his face was just on seeing me. That made my heart soar!“Everything is set up and ready for tomorrow. Are you ready for bed, sugar?” Dante asked me as he came to sit next to me on the sofa I was sprawled out on.“Hmm? Me? Oh! Yeah! I’m tired…I had the weirdest dream…” I started to tell him about Callen and Selene and then, something inside me said not to say anything, so I stopped talking.Dante laughed, “Oh yeah! You’re out of it! C’mon, Sugar. Let’s go to bed.” Dante softly pressed his lips to my forehead and lifted me into his arms, taking me upstairs to bed.As I laid in our bed, snuggling Dante, content and ready to drift back into another state of sleep, I realized that small hollow a
Dante wasn’t happy to find out that I was already willing to see Callen after everything that had happened. He was even more upset that I had already somewhat reconciled with Callen through text messages late at night. Despite his feelings and intuition, he mind-linked his border patrol and let them know that Callen would be coming. Jackson had been preoccupied with Joan so much recently that Dante hadn’t been depending on him for a while now, and I could tell it was wearing him thin. He needed his beta back. The morning of the ceremony got off to a start without any issues. We joined the pack for a large breakfast feast followed by the pack slitting Dante and I apart for a tradition I was unaccustomed to. The mated she-wolves of the pack and elders, took me to a hot spring for some apparent much needed pampering, while the mated wolves and elders took Dante with them for some gathering.“So, explain to me exactly what this is all about again?” I asked Mrs. Betty, one of the elder m
We stare into each other's eyes at first, locked almost as if in a trance, and then seeming as if in a challenge, to a sudden relief of acceptance. Callen exhaled, growing a huge smile across his face, “Goddess I’ve waited forever to hear you say that word!”I smiled back, blushing, but before I could say anything, Callen asked in a whisper leaning in, “May I kiss you?”A soft gasp escaped my lips as tingles danced pleasurably across my skin from my neck down my arms to my fingertips to my toes and I nodded with a smile, granting him permission. Callen leaned in and softly pressed his lips against mine before pulling back away like a gentleman.“GET AWAY FROM HER!” A familiar male voice was heard before I saw him.I turned around to see Dante rushing towards me in a frenzied rage. My eyes grew huge and I instantly knew I had to calm Dante down before this all went terribly wrong. “Dante, calm down!” I exclaimed as Dante pulled me by my wrist away from Callen and into his tight embr
The family barbeque was enjoyable to say the least. We received many strange stares from pack members as the three of us, Callen, Dante, and I, laid in the large lounge chair together. We didn’t care though, everything felt so…right and so natural! As we watched some of the younger families interact with one another, I noticed that the new mother’s seemed to all know each other real well and spoke in groups with their pups on their hip, lap, tit, back, or in a carrier of some sort while the dads all looked like they were laid out in the lounge chair area - all laid back with beers or spirits in their hands - chatting to one another casually as they enjoy their refreshments.The pups were all so adorable! I admired them from afar, knowing I would be holding two of my own sweet little pups in just around two short months from now! Would I be one of those mom’s with a pup on my hip chatting in a mommy and me group? Was that how they got help from the pack with how to properly raise thei
As we reached the first border, Jackson began explaining, “This is our southern border. You never want to go past these borders. Not only will you find yourself in Mexico, but you will also run into the cartel’s guard dogs, the Chupa Cabo Pack. They’re vicious and ruthless. Just…stay away from the southern borders, Okay?” We nodded as we looked out at the desolate expanse in front of us. Nothing but what looked like dessert laid in front of us. We drove for miles that seemed to turn into hours until we reached the next border, “This is our eastern border. If you continue north east from here, you will eventually find your old pack, Luna. The Red River pack is about an hour’s run from here.”I smiled as I looked out at all the trees and open road ahead. It was swamp-like but still very woodsy. I made a note to myself that if I ever had to run home, I could stay covered in the woods this way. “Do you have any enemies out this direction? I know Red River isn’t the only pack that way.
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
