He pulled me out towards the sliding glass doors that lead to the back of the house. He brought me through the gardens where I could see a gorgeous man-made waterfall that filled the backyard with its soothing sound. The flowers were in full bloom, which were all different colors that wrapped around the house, causing the scent to be light and flowery. I let out a giggle, thinking back to Griffens comments about Leo showing me the gardens. Leo cocked an eyebrow at me but continued to lead me further.
In the corner of my eye, I could see a large slab of concrete that laid in the very center. I walked over towards it immediately, realizing that it was huge. The way it laid, flowers surrounding its edge, could only mean that it was used for events that happened in the backyard.
I closed my eyes, listening to the sounds of the waterfall, taking in the scent of my mate and the freshly bloomed flowers. Without realizing, my body began to move. Eve

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ I spun around quickly, realizing that I was not alone. Nina was standing there with a cold expression splattered across her face, but she had an evil grin that littered her features as if she were trying to scare me. "Do you really think you have a chance with the werewolf King?" She laughed, "He doesn't care about you, you're nothing. You’re barely even a werewolf." She growled and lunged at me. She did not anticipate that I would have had proper combat training because I have not shifted. My father held annual tournaments throughout the pack, and I had participated many times. She tried to grab me, and I only dodged her attacks which frustrated her even more. "You bitch!" she snarled, lunging once again. I could feel my body move away from her grasp, as if it pulled me out of harm’s way on its own. An intense heat began to course throughout my entire body, as if every cell had been lit on fire. This had felt different from when
Keeping My Mate Chapter Fourteen
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ The next morning, I woke up as a blistering heat consumed my body. It was not like before when I ran away from Leo. This was excruciating as it consumed every cell of my body my blood feeling as if it turned to lava within my veins. With each passing moment, the lava would spread, burning me from the inside out. I felt uncomfortable in my own skin, even as I sat in a tub full of ice. Leo had left for a meeting this morning, because neither of us had anticipated my heat starting. He had been gone for what felt like an eternity, but immediately rushed to my side at the sight of my very naked body sprawled on the bed, writing in pain. He was angry since no one had informed him of what was happening, but it subsided as soon as he saw how much pain I was in. I heard a growl rumble in his chest, as he came towards me straddling me, holding my hands above my head. His lips placed a gentle kiss on my mark, which sent a cold chill running through

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ I was not sure exactly how long I spent in that room, writhing in pain. Most of the time, I laid on the bed, screaming and shaking as the heat was relentless. I drifted in and out of consciousness due to the pain that flowed through my body. I had lost count of how many times I had thrown up, even though I had not eaten anything. At some point between being unconscious, I decided to stay in the bathroom so I would not have to travel from the bed to the toilet. The cold tile did little to heat my burning skin, but it still felt better then the latter. I heard someone come into my room a couple of times leaving trays of food and water next to my bed even though I did not want it. I could hear the distant crashing of glass, and loud banging in a different room which I assumed was Leo destroying something. Hearing his anger through the walls only made me feel more solidified with my decision. He was too angry to be near me. Every now and then

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒After multiple orgasms from Leo, my heat finally subsided. It had been almost four days since it started, and my body was begging to be anywhere but the bedroom. I tiptoed silently down the hallways making sure not to wake anyone up as I adventured towards the kitchen. I opened the cupboards searching for the perfect snacks for my midnight rendezvous. I grabbed the cookies which I thought would make a delectable snack at this hour and adventured towards the garden. A bright smile appeared on my face as the soft midnight breeze danced through my loose curls. I nibbled on the cookies I had found, and I let out a laugh of excitement as I made my way to the familiar slab of concrete.I slowly put my slippers on and began to dance freely around the concrete. Leo had been so kind as to get me multiple pairs of ballerina slippers so I thought that I could break these ones in.One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, fi

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I wake up, to realize that I am no longer in my childhood home. My head felt extremely dizzy, as I tried to rise to my feet, only to collapse a moment later. I glanced down to find that both of my hands and my feet were chained to a bloody cement wall. I felt the tears sting my eyes, trying to figure out what had happened.“Hello?” I shouted but was met with silence.“Hello?!” I shouted louder, but no one answered.I looked around again, trying to find anything I could recognize but it was so dark. The only light that came into the room was from the door window, which was tiny and offered nothing more then a mere sliver of light. The man from before passed by the door, as his face lingered in the small window, watching me with his deep red eyes. He stared at me for a couple of moments before a wicked grin spread across his face. He opened the door, revealing a small bit of light in the dark room.“

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“Knock knock,” the man said, tapping on the door as if we had a choice to let him enter.I groaned as he slammed the door open, letting the bright light into the cell. It increased the pain in my head, making me wince. The only redeeming factor about him, was that so far he was the least vile person in this place, and for some reason his presence seemed to bring me some sense of calmness.“Can you let us go? Leo will be looking for us you know!’ I said, trying to convince even myself at this point. We've been here for what felt like forever, with no end in sight and my mother and I were starting to lose hope.“Oh, you think he’s looking for you, eh?” he scoffs, “Leo is actually preparing for his coronation, with Nina. You know Charlie, I would treat you like the Queen you are. Like you deserve”I froze in place, thinking I misunderstood. “You’re&helli

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I had the entire castle and surrounding areas searching for Charlie, but there was no luck. It was as if she had just disappeared into thin air. As the sun began to rise, I continued to search the grounds for my mate, seeing if I could catch any scent that seemed unfamiliar. Steel was going berserk, whining and howling giving me a constant headache without Charlie.“She’ll come back,” I continued to repeat in my head to him, but I wasn't sure who I was trying to convince anymore.After what felt like hours, I decided to head back to the castle. When I walked in the door no one would look at me, which made me angry. I've already lost my mate, and now they are treating me like this?“What’s going on?” I asked, spotting my mother talking to someone by the front door. “Mother?”“Mother?” I asked again angerly, as she turned her head before moving to the side to revea

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒The day of my coronation loomed over me. It had been a week since my Charlie had been gone and the pain only seemed to get worse. Steel had disappeared completely, ignoring me again due to the heartache of losing our mate. He insulted me to no end before becoming completely silent, but I couldn’t really blame him. How could I let her be kidnapped? I failed her as a mate.Griffen had been out with the men, searching relentlessly. He kept me updated, but I could tell he was becoming frustrated at her being gone too. They seemed to have a connection between them as well, which warmed my heart but also broke it at the same time. He missed her too, and I could tell he was frustrated every day he came back searching for her.My mother had taken it upon herself to arrange the Coronation. She had me at suit fittings, dress rehersals, food tasting. She was acting as if I was getting married, which made me sick. Although any male would have gone

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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.

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“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

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“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

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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
