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

 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.

Four marks th

 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
