Celia and Mack had pretty much missed the major excitement. By the time they arrived arguing at the stones Cullen and Aislin were standing up and most of the conversation involved whether or not the pack was going to have that run they were promised. Cullen and Aislinn were inclined to go in to their room after what had just happened. But Sarah was trying to convince them that it would be a good idea to take advantage of the situation to improve morale.
Celia was trying to talk to Mack. It was strange change in dynamic for them. Celia had done her best to try and ignore what had happened and be happy about not being chased by him any longer. But her heart just couldn’t take it.
“Cel, if you think that I don’t know you’ll say anything to get things the way you want them you’re wrong. I’m sorry love but you fucked this one to hard. I’m done.” Mack was pissed because he had been in the process of a very pleasant game of hide and seek with a pretty little omega when Celia interrupted.
“Mack please, just listen.” The unnatural pleading sound from her was enough to draw the attention of the group in the stones who had grown very used to Celia’s own personal brand of arrogance.
“I think I’ve heard enough from you,” Mack said, stopping near the others and turning to glare at her. The anger in his voice was just as unnatural as the sound from Celia. “Unless you care to tell Aislinn and the General about what happened the other night?”
Celia blushed and the red ran all the way down her chest and across her breasts
Cullen growled with annoyance. “What’s the problem?” Mack was implying that it had something to do with Cullen and Aislinn and Cullen couldn’t ignore that.
“Oh nothing, apparently,” Mack said sarcastically. Celia came walking up to him with a fearful pleading look in her eyes. But he was too angry to take pity on her and not embarrass her front of the whole of the pack. “Celia seems to think that I should not be bothered if she calls out your name while I’m fucking her instead of mine.”
Celia was close to tears. But her pride was starting to edge into it now and her nose shot up when Mack told Cullen what had happened and several groups of people started laughing.
Keith chuckled with amusement. “This is turning out to be a more entertaining night than I had thought it would be,” he grinned.
Sarah elbowed him to shut him up. This wasn’t his business. Not that it ever stopped Keith.
Aislinn felt bad for Celia. It looked like she had screwed up pretty bad. Celia reached out to Mack and he shoved her away. When Celia tripped into Aislinn the entire incident between Mack and Celia flashed before Aislinn’s eyes and she found herself on her knees on the ground again.
Cullen swore as he knelt down to see why Aislinn didn’t stand back up and saw the glazed over look on her face. He growled, “Enough.” He stood back up. He could feel Aislinn’s fascination and knew she was alright. So he was currently more concerned with putting an end to the stupidity that was currently playing out for the whole pack to see.
Aislinn could hear the angry tones in the background and knew that there was more arguing going on between the people around her. But what had her attention was the fact that she seemed to be seeing through Celia’s eyes as she had sex with Mack. Aislinn smile to herself as she felt that same amazing need and pleasure surging through them that she felt with Cullen. Aislinn was looking through Celia’s eyes as she looked down at Mack and she humped him wildly. Aislinn could feel Mack’s cock swelling inside Celia’s body and she knew they were mating. Aislinn smiled at the sensations of pleasure that she felt course through Celia.
Cullen looked over at Aislinn. He grinned. He didn’t know what she was seeing but whatever it was it must have been good. She was getting amazingly worked up and he was feeling it though their connection.
Aislinn felt Celia’s orgasm approaching and then the fear. It was as though up to that point Celia hadn’t cared what she was doing, then all of a sudden she realized that if she mated with Mack she was completely done with Cullen. That was when she said it. In an instant Aislinn felt the pain sear through her body as Celia was thrown from Mack onto the floor. Then came the even more intense pain centered in her chest as she realized that he wasn’t going to come back. Celia’s heart was racing and she couldn’t breathe. For the first time since she met Mack she finally realized what she really wanted. But now she didn’t know how to fix it. She was scared and lonely. She could feel how much Mack hated her through the bond. Aislinn started to cry again. It had been hard enough feeling Cullen upset with her, but to feel him hating her would destroy her. What was worse was that Celia was pregnant. She didn’t know it yet though. For once Aislinn wished that those extra pieces of information she randomly picked up in her visions didn’t happen.
It was one thing to let her keep staring off into nothing if she was enjoying it. But when Cullen felt Aislinn’s heart breaking he’d had enough. Aislinn, he called to her as he knelt down to try and bring her back to reality.
Aislinn blinked a couple times and looked around. Then bypassed Cullen entirely, went to Celia and wrapped her arms around her. Celia was confused but accepted the comfort. Mack looked over at Cullen who just shrugged. He didn’t have any idea what she had seen that time. “Sometimes I think it would be easier if she could mess with heads instead of this vision caoch,” Cullen said and crossed his arms over his chest as he waited for an explanation.
“Whatever, I’m getting out of here before she stops distracting Celia,” Mack said and headed for the woods.
Aislinn turned on him. “Mack, I can’t believe you’d put so much effort into trying to get her attention and then when you have it you’d turn into a creep.”
Cullen raised his eyebrows. He didn’t know what was possessing Aislinn but the sense he was getting from her now told him to just keep out of it. There was more chuckling from the assembled crowd when Aislinn called Mack a creep and Keith was looking as though he had just been given an early Christmas present.
“This is none of your business, Aislinn,” Mack growled turning on her. Cullen growled back and stood behind Aislinn in warning to let Mack know that he’d better watch it.
Aislinn leveled and impressive glare on Mack that had an impact only an alpha could give. The assembled pack wasn’t sure if it was all Aislinn or if Cullen standing behind her added to the impression. “You made it everyone’s business the minute you walked over here and declared what happened,” she growled back. “So she made a mistake. Don’t be stupid enough to throw away what you’ve already done,” Aislinn said with an emphasis that told him she knew they had bonded already, “when you know she didn’t mean it.”
Celia wasn’t sure what to do. The idea that Aislinn would be defending her after everything that had happened between them was mind boggling. But she seemed to be getting to Mack and since Celia hadn’t been able to she was willing to take what she could get.
