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
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“Emily, my Queen. 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
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“How is this Coronation going to go, again?” I asked, trying to replay what exactly was going to happen in two short weeks. 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
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“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.
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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'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
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Alistar's POVI 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.“Do either
