Alistar's POV
I couldn't stop the laugh that escaped my lips. Was this woman really my mate, and if so, how did I get so lucky? Every time I thought that I had regained the upper hand on this surprising little firecracker, she swept in with another feisty remark, another touch, another dare that knocked me off-balance and made it more unlikely that I’d never let her go. I was about to assure her I would be glad to accommodate her every demand, when a unfamilar noise outside the door cut me off, and suddenly the large heavy door swung open revealing one of the workers from the auction.
“You gotta be kidding me,” The worker huffed, standing in the doorway, one hand on the doorknob,huskily into the phone, “False alarm, ma'am, we’re all good in here.” I shifted to block Charlie’s nakedness from view, as she picked her dress up off the floor near her ankles.

Keeping My Mate Prologue
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒The air suddenly shifted around her, and a cold wind swept through the forest. His figure was tall, and the sun was filtering through the treetops, shining down on the earthy forest floor. The pitter patter of little footsteps edged towards the trees, as her scent wafted through the air without a care in the world. Slowly moving towards the clearing, her scent, a mixture of peonies and vanilla seemed to calm the creatures slowly making their way towards this beautiful dancing stranger. Once her eyes fluttered open, she slowly fell to her delicate knees welcoming the animals as her lovely laugh bounced across every tree, filling the entire forest.Rising to her pointe once again, she continued her dance across the forest, entering deeper into the now lively forest. Her dark raven hair flowing behind her every move. The warm winds slowly spreading her scent across every leaf, rock and tree. Her feet carried her in all directions, twirling as her flow

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Since that day in the woods, the stranger has not left the confinement of my mind. The videos in my mind showed him doing different things each day.But he never smiles.He runs, trains, works, sleeps.But he never smiles.Why doesn't he smile?---"Charlie, come on! You need to get up. This is the second time I've asked you!" my mother shouted, and I couldn't help but let out a sharp groan at her harsh tone. I have never been a morning person, and I didn’t plan on starting now."I AM up!" I shout back, being startled awake from my dream of the perfect stranger once again. I had dreams about him almost every night since I had turned 18. His face always brought me comfort, but I could never remember where I had first met him.I tried to bury myself deeper in my cocoon of blankets, snuggling into their warmth desperately wanting to see the perfect stranger. Silence filled the house, and I could f

As she reached her hand out to me, I noticed something gold and shiny wrapped around her wrist."That's a nice bracelet," I said, eyeing the charms that dangled, trying to get a better look."Oh, thank you, it was a gift from a stranger," she giggles, playing with the charms.One charm especially caught my eye."Is that a sapphire charm?" I asked, trying to get a better look. She held out her hand so I could show me proudly.It was.Is this Leo's mate?I could not bring myself to say anything else to her, but she still held a smile on her face. I was delighted but horrified for this girl. The fear was overpowering the delight, slightly because I knew the truth about what was going to happen to this little wolf sitting in front of me if it was tru

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Oliver's POVI began to look more and more panicked as the guards continued to warn me that the Alpha was moving extremely fast to our destination. My mind was racing with so many unanswered questions.How did he not know Charlie was right beside his pack the whole time? Or did he, but never acted on it?What will happen if he sees her out in the open like this?Could the Alpha Kings mate really be a wolf less woman?She remained in the same position as when we got here, maybe out of morbid curiosity for her impending doom.Charlie's POVI remained still, drowning in both my confusion and my fear. I mean, I met Oliver this morning, and now I am standing in the forest alone with him. He started to pace back and forth and look as if he were about to have a panic attack rubbing the back of his neck aggressively.I moved slightly, and Oliver stopped pacing. He turned his

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I slipped out of Leos grasp and the sparks that danced along my skin subsided. My mind was so foggy, that I did not even realize what was happening to me. I could feel something stirring in my mind. Something that I had never felt before."I can't go with you... my mother is expecting me home soon," I said, attempting to turn around and walk home, until I met Oliver’s scared eyes.I froze and sighed, allowing myself to be pulled back into Leos strong grip."You're mine, Nobody else's. MINE," he snarled in my ear, pulling me closer to his body. I could feel something sharp pierce the skin of my neck and I let out a loud scream. I instantly felt my knees go weak from the pain, but I did not fall thanks to Leos strong grip."No one will ever hurt you, angel," he said between placing light kisses against my wrist which made my heartbeat raise and my cheeks blush, "Let's go.""Oliver," I say softly, looking in his direc

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒LeoOur sleep together was peaceful. We were wrapped together, buried beneath the sheets as the sun shone through the window. Charlie groaned softly, snuggling her head deeper into my chest, trying to block the sunlight from her face which made my wolf purr in content.A soft knock woke me up from my sleep, which irritated me. I slowly slipped out of bed, replacing myself with a pillow which my little mate hugged and snuggled with deeply. I stood looking at her for a moment as a warm smile spread across my lips. A second knock came from the door, snapping me out of my daydream once again. I opened the door and stepped outside closing it quietly behind me.I looked up to see an anxious looking Oliver looking back at me."What are you doing here Oliver?!” I shout as quietly as I can. "You don't need to care for her, she's mine. I am her mate, not you!"I could feel my blood pressure begin to rise and

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I was not exactly sure how long I slept but I woke up with the fire returning to my body. I was so unbelievably hot. I threw the blanket away from me and squirmed trying to get out of the bed. It did absolutely nothing to help, and I could see Leo's body was still tightly wrapped around me, which I knew did nothing to help my situation either. My school uniform was still on my body, and I felt like it was on fire as it touched my skin. The leggings underneath my skirt made it almost unbearable to wear them.Leo began to shuffle behind me, sensing that I was uncomfortable. I felt his hand reach under my skirt and grab the hem of my leggings. I put my hands over his and mumbled incoherent nothings to him."Just take it off baby, you're burning up. I promise I won't do anything; you just have to take it off," he said reassuringly.I was hot, and extremely tired. All I wanted to do was nuzzle back into his chest, so I grabbed the hem of m

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Although it felt completely strange to have my wolf show up now, she explained it was because I was near my mate. She explained that she was sent by the Moon Goddess herself to me, and that she had special plans for me. I chuckled at that, but Faleece was extremely adamant on saying that I was special. She told me that my mate was not as bad as I was making him out to be, and that I just needed to give him a chance and that he would show me how powerful I could be. Now that was something we could disagree on.I had begun eating the tray of food that was left on my desk, as Faleece and I talked. She was extremely intelligent, and I could tell that she had a good soul which made me happy.The world had finally felt a lot less lonely.When I noticed that the sun had come up, I sensed a strange tingling sensation run through me right to the mark on my neck. I knew it was him before he even stepped into the room. The clicking of the lock a

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Alistar's POVI didn’t know how much time we had before someone came looking for us, but for now, devouring my mate in a forgotten office was the only thing I could think about. Every inch of her delectable little body belonged to me and only me tonight. My beautiful, raven-haired package perfectly sprawled out in front of me in her own little secrets and the tight black dress I had picked out for specifically for her. Mine. Those words echoed inside my head with each passing second. There was nothing more plain and simple about that fact. Kneeling before my delicious little mate, I pressed my face to the crook of her beautifully toned dancer thighs. The scent of her arousal battered every part of me, threatening to eradicate the very last bit of my self control I dared cling onto. I could feel the familiar yet pleasurable burn of my fangs descending, aching to touch her creamy white skin, but I knew that if I gave in to any

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒He spun me around and lifted the fabric of my dress easily,lifting the fabric in one hand while his other teased the skin between my thighs from behind. I arched my back and leaned my chest against the solid wood of the desk for leverage as his strong, demanding fingers drove into my aching pussy. The way he stroked me with a precise touch threatened to give me a crippling orgasm in thirty seconds flat. There was something about his icy touch that soothed something inside me and I only craved more. Feeling the power through his touch was exactly what I needed.“It seems our night has put you in quite the state, Love,” his sexy voice rasped, breath hot in my ear as his teeth nipped at my skin. Leaning in closer to me, he dragged his hand out from between my wetness and lifted it to his mouth. With a soft, husky moan he slid one fingersg into his mouth, sucking on the evidence of my desire, then switching to the other as his eyes watched

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Alistar lead me out of the auction hall, down a vacant hallway. He forcefully pulled me into one of the adjacent rooms that seemed to be an office. He took a step towards me and for a moment, I held his gaze in silence, tension crackling between us. My breath was coming out in shallow pants, my lips slightly parted. Bringing my bottom lip between my teeth again, I nibbled lightly, which made him stare intently.I was already imagining the sweet taste of his kiss, the dangerous tease of his touch as he inched his way closer to me. In a flash, he closed the last of the distance between us, forcing me to take a step back out of suprise, then another. My rear hit the side of a desk, and I dropped my purse and gasped, looking up at him with a mix of fear and lust, a combination that all but sealed my fate. I knew he could feel my emotions, and I knew that he enjoyed it.He trailed a finger across my exposed collarbone just like he had done in the

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Knowing that my precious mate loved Art was one of the reasons why I decided to bring her here. The second was to get my hands on one new possession—the Gerard David painting. The siren call of her scent stirred me to a frenzy that muted all else- The throne could wait, especially while I had my Queen to court first.Although I was the new king, and I had already claimed her I still had to abide by her other mates rules. That was a war not even a bloodthirsty, power-hungry Vamp like me would bring upon the supernatural. So for now, I set aside the politics of my father’s demise and focused my attention on my sarcastic, raven-haired beauty, determined to end the evening on a better note than how it’d begun. The hosts of the auction called for everyone to take a seat in the main room, and I held out my arm. With a soft smile, she reached for me, but then hesitated a moment.Although we had touched many times, I could still se

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“They’re almost ready to start the bidding, Love. Shall we?” Alistar’s sweet voice said, as he offered his arm to me. He looked so handsome in his suit, staring down at me with his big baby blues.We started off the night with a small but pleasantly filling supper, which consisted of a wonderful selection of Tepas and wine. Several pairs of eyes had followed us as we moved throughout the event, sending shivers down my spine. As if Alister could sense my feelings, he shifted his seat closer, our arms brushing as we settled in at our small table that overlooked the auction floor.There was something about his presence that seemed to calm everyone in the room, especially me. He was talking to the waiter, and I decided to really get a good look at him. His eyes, the most piercing blue I have ever seen. His lush mouth moved softly as he spoke, and I couldn’t help but think about what transpired in the shower earlier.

Leo let out a huff as he ran a hand through his hair.“In order to become the Werewolf Queen, you’re going to have to slice your hand with the ceremonial dagger and let your blood drip into the pillar. It will then mix with my own to solidify our bond. Then, your hand joins with mine, mixing our blood and you will officially become part of the pack and Queen,” he said.“And the Vampire Queen?” I said, turning my attention to a now smirking Alistar.“You’re going to press your thumb against this box, and make your offering,” he said, “You’ll also have to drink my blood, as well as I’ll drink yours.”Both the pillar and dagger for the Werewolves, and the golden box and chalice for the Vampires were on the stage in the ballroo

I’m Oliver’s mate.”“Oh,” I said simply, “You do know that he was banished for treason, right?”“I knew that he had gotten himself in trouble, when he followed you into the forest and didn’t come back. I know that he did something unforgiveable to you, but he is my mate and I love him more then anything. It seemed to have worked out in the end anyways,” she said, making sure to put emphasis on the last part.“I don’t know, Em,” I said, not showing emotion at her outburst.“You would do the same for your mates!” She screamed at me, “If this was the opposite way around, you would do anything to save Leo or that Vampire! So why is it such a crime because my mate decided to do it? Because you’re the Queen and I’m not?!”“ENOUGH!” I yelled, silencing her. My blood was boil

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒After the little incident in the garden, Leo decided that training with Alistar was finished for the day. Instead, we decided that lunch was a good idea so we could learn more about what my family history was like. We pulled up to a place that Leo’s family owned and got escorted to a private booth that hid us away from the rest of the restaurant. Leo ordered for us, which sent a feeling of relief through me since I felt pretty exhausted from this morning.“So, where do I begin?” Alistar said, clasping his hands together as we sat at the table waiting for our food.He began to tell me that Werewolves have mates, but Vampires have Predestined. Although both species can live extremely long lives, Vampire souls are made for one soul only. And his other half lived inside of me. Pandora was the other half of his soul, but he didn’t know that until he met me. Instead of smell, Vampires use pure instinc
