All Chapters of Keeping My Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Pandora/Faleece POVFeeling the power that I know held inside of my body, I knew that this could be the make or break of many things. Although I wasn't sure of the extent of which my power could grow, I could feel that it could potentially be destructive. How could they have been so naive to think we wouldn’t take over completely? He may be my Predestined, but that doesn’t mean I won’t use him for power, since he was doing the same to me. After lying dormant for so long, searching for the right body to possess my soul, it was now our time. Although I would need help to restore my power, I had Faleece to help me do so.“Come!” I sent out the silent call like a gentle wave, for my light and dark shadows to enter my body. To slither through my veins giving me the power I so desperately craved. Like gentle rippling waves through the layers of dirt at my feet, the stone

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“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

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“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.

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒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
