Lahat ng Kabanata ng Keeping My Mate: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ “It’s been three days, Leo. You need to bring her to a doctor,” my mother said, entering our bedroom. “What I need is for you to leave me and my mate alone. She needs her rest,” I snapped back at my mother. “You have a kingdom to run!” she said, before I interrupted her. I've never seen my mother angry at me, but I could tell she was losing her patience with me. Being her only child, and my father wanting to retire, I could see that it was putting a strain on her. “No, what I have is a mate who I need to care for right now. Dad can run the kingdom for a little longer,” I said, getting more frustrated. She was extremely ancy since hearing of Nina's death, and me ignoring the coronation, but I couldn't care less. All that mattered was that I had the rightful Queen with me to rule by my side. Instead of leaving the room, my mother stretched out her hand to give me a letter. I looked at her in confusion but took the letter any

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒His voice was strong, as it sent a burning desire rushing through me. I couldn’t help but clench my thighs together, trying to feel some sort of relief. Although I was still in a little bit of shock, having Leo here instantly made me forget about those feelings.“You need to be reminded who you belong to, my dear Charlie,” he said, lunging towards me. The fire between my legs was burning out of control when his hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me towards him.“I didn’t do anything wrong,” I whimpered, “Why am I in trouble?”“Because you seem to have forgotten where you belong,” he said as he slammed his lips on mine. I was still wearing the hospital gown, that was hanging lazily over my shoulders.He pulled me against his chest, with an urgency that I have never felt from him before. The fire in between my legs ached for relief, as his hands slowly pulled the gow

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒We made our way to a couple of different spots that day, and like he promised he kissed me at every single one. We found ourselves in a field of blooming summer flowers. Paths of light lavenders, baby pinks and yellows surrounded us as he placed a light kiss on my lips.The next was a glorious peak, leading me around a trail that surrounded a roaring waterfall as it cascaded down beside us. The sun shown through the tall trees, making small rainbows across the sky. That kiss lingered longer then the meadows, almost deeper. At the end of the small trail beside the waterfall there came a clearing that looked like someone had made a picnic.Leo sat down and patted the seat next to me. I made my way over, positioning myself so I was looking deeply into his eyes. We stared at each other for a few moments before a soft breeze swept around us. Leo’s eyes hooded over, as the soft humming radiated from his chest, just like before.&ldquo

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ My eyes scanned the forest around us, but I couldn’t quite find where the voices had spoken from.  I could see the smoky black and grey tendrils slithering slowly across the forest floor, making there way towards me and I just stared with anticipation. Leo rolled his eyes at the grand entrance of the ghastly person forming from the shadows, but Pandora was thrilled that her Predestined was so extravagant. The smoky tendrils began to form what looked like a shadow, as I could see the outline of a tall man being assembled through the thick fog they created. His eyes shined a bright red, as he began to step forward. The ice-cold shards quickly began spreading throughout my entire body, faster now that the Vampire King had fully emerged. It sent a sense of calm pleasure through my spine, directly to Pandora who was shivering in anticipation. The love she already felt for her mate was admirable, and it made my heart flutter in my chest. F
