A Mate Not For Sale TWELVE | Maybe A Good suggestion
Arden gave me a disapproving and disappointing look and I regretted for a few seconds telling him about the plan."Why are you yelling?" I asked. "You want to sell someone off and you expect me to keep calm? Are you for real?" he said almost in a yell and I had to cover his mouth with my hand."Can you bring your voice down? Someone might hear you" I said."Someone? Hear me? In this soundproof place called a room?"I chuckled slightly. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?""It's not time to make jokes. Tell me, do you want to sell her off?""Isn't that the only option here"He scoffed. "Of course not. Have you forgotten about the...""Do you have any idea?""How about you make her work for you?""That is not a good idea. I do not want her anywhere close to me""That will not be the case for your mother""That is the reason I suggest selling""That is not an option. Why would you think of such? It doesn't make any sense""Then suggest an idea that makes sense and stop getting on my n

"Are you sure it's not necessary?" I asked with a smirk and he nodded. "But you can as well...". "Gilbert, I do not want to dare you. I want to live the best of my life as a free person, and not in the cell" he said and I smirked."You better not. Now start talking before I...""Fine" he muttered moving close to me. He whispered some words to me and I smirked."That sounds like a good idea. But are you sure it will work?" He nodded. "Trust me, it will"I smiled. "You are finally acting like my best friend""How have I been acting before? Your Beta"I scoffed. "No. Like my enemy"He frowned. "Are you saying I...""Make use of the door," I said pointing at the door.He blinked. "You want me to leave?""Did you hear something different or do you want me to call the guards on you?""You can't treat me that way. I am your...""You want to tell me how to treat you?"He stood up. "Of course not. I am just saying..."I picked up the magazine on the table and flipped through some pages while

XAVIAI had not thought that coming to the Ice Pack would be a bad idea. All I wanted, when I was in the Lycan Pack, was to run away from Axel, and never return. Seeing him in his monster self, killed my sense of reasoning and all I could think of was how to survive. I also could not make Alaila suffer with me, that was the reason I made her leave. I made her return to her family.After separating from Alaila, I could not think of any safe place to go because I knew none. To me, the best place to return to, where I would not be bothered for being treated badly was the Ice Pack. But I never thought of the day, I will get entangled in a situation I knew nothing about and end up as a slave.Everything happened so fast, with no time to explain myself. They never gave me the opportunity to, as they shove the uniform. Into my hand. At some point, I had thought it could be a setup but who would do that to a human like me? I had not quarreled with anyone and did not have the chance to meet wi

I suddenly began to hear footsteps. I knew some people were coming and I needed to finish up the snack as quickly as possible. He also stared at me, hastening me up with his gaze. I was lucky to finish up the snacks before the guards showed up. I wiped my mouth clean so as not to implicate the guard that had saved my life. I watched them whisper to him and after a long boring conversation, he opened the door to the cell."You are free to go" the guard that had helped me muttered and I stared at him in confusion."Me?" I pointed at myself and he nodded."Are you coming out or do you want to keep staying there?" one of the other guards yelled. I scrambled out of the cell before he changed his mind and locked me up forever."Follow me" he ordered.I followed him silently until we got to the training ground and I wondered why he brought me here.Don't tell me the Alpha was the one who sent for my release. I thought.I could see the Alpha and his Beta training together. We watched them si

The Lycan King's face flashed across my mind and I couldn't take my mind off it. The sharp but beautiful smiles he gives when no one is looking and the calmness on his face when he speaks to Jason. Thinking about those smiles, got me smiling too. It also caught me wondering why someone like him ended up as a monster. Though he doesn't speak to any one of us, neither does he come close, I could tell how nice he is through Jason.Then how has Jason been coping with him? I wondered. Do the Lycans know that their Alpha and King is a monster, who kills and feeds on blood?I shrugged aside the thought and decided it was best to go on with my work. Time was already far spent and there was still a lot of work to do. While I tried to work as fast as I could, my hands were failing me. I soon got tired and decided to take a rest.A little rest is not a crime. I thought as I sat down to rest.I closed my eyes, humming a song."Hey, you!" someone yelled and I jumped up quickly. A guard was standin

"Get to work!" Bella yelled.We quickly cleared the table and were soon heading to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. I walked slowly, my head banging really, hard."You should walk fast," Katherine said and I nodded slightly.She soon got engrossed in her talk with the other girls and she forgot about me completely. I tried to catch up with her and I almost fell to the ground. I groaned slightly and that caught her attention. "Be careful" she muttered. Are you hurt?""No, I am not. Thanks"She held my hand. "Are you sure you are not hurt?"I nodded with a smile. "I am not hurt"She sighed. "You need to be careful at night, ok?"I nodded. "Yes, ma'am"We got to the kitchen and Katherine did most of the work to cover up for me. When we were done, we retired to our dormitory. I stared at the long hall with numerous beds."Are we all sleeping here?" I asked Katherine in a whisper."Yes. You should go get a bed space""Can't I sleep beside you?""You can't. Helen is the one sleeping in t

GILBERTMaking my maid a slave was a relief and I had nothing to worry about. My mom did not ask about my mate and she did not visit me either. This put my mind at rest, that I do not have to worry about my mom finding out that Xavia is my mate. I also do not have to worry about coming in contact with my mate and my wolf jumping up happily. Though I sometimes thought about her and wondered how she was doing, it was easy to get that thought off quickly.Arden did not say anything about her either. He was busy with pack affairs and his mate, he hardly visited. For a few weeks, I had a peaceful time to myself until Arden showed up again."Do you not miss me?" he asked with his mischievous smile."What are you doing here? Are you not busy with the pack's affairs?" I asked him."I am done with every pack's affairs I am assigned with. I know you gave me a lot of work to get me out of your sight but now I am back"I scoffed slightly. "I do not care about your presence""You do not?" he asked

After I left Arden, I returned to my room to rest but as usual, Arden would not let me. He kept ranting about why I made Xavia a slave when I knew I would worry about her so much."I am not worried about her. How many times do I have to tell you that?" I told him."It’s obvious that you are worried about her. Why can’t you accept the fact that you do?""I am not. You...""Gilbert, if you keep worrying about her, that would do you no good. I think you should revoke her slave decree""I am not doing that. I am not the type to go back on my words""Gilbert...""Look, if you also care about her, you should speak to my mom about it. I am not the one who declared her as a slave""But you are the reason she became a slave. You..."I groaned. "Arden, can you stop talking?!" I yelled slightly at him."I am being truthful here. You made her a slave and now you worry about her. You should not have done that in the first place. I see the way you looked at her in the garden". He moved closer to me

XAVIAIt had been months since everything had returned to normal and I had been living a peaceful life. I heard that Gilbert has left for a faraway land to work on himself, after he apologized sincerely to his Pack members, his mom, Arden, and Kate. I was told he wanted to apologize to me too but he knew I was not going to give him an audience. I had refused to see him not because I had not forgiven him but because I did not want him to feel bad when he saw me and though I hadn't seen him since he left, he sent a letter through Kate. When I read the letter, I was very happy. I was happy that he had finally accepted his fault and was willing to change. Kate told me he has been calling her frequently these days and is showing interest in her. She told me she might be giving him a second chance once he comes back.She doesn't know when he will come back but she is willing to wait. Her words touched me. I feel happy that they will be getting back together. She deserves to be happy. He does

I was not expecting anyone to come for me. I know that what I did to them was hurtful and I do not deserve their sympathy. Neither was I expecting Arden to come for me.How am I going to face Arden? I wondered. How am I going to face him after everything?I stood rooted to my spot and the guards did not hasten me up to leave. For some reason, they treated me with respect."Why are you treating me well? Why are you not treating me as a criminal?" I asked."Our Alpha asked that we treat you well because you are an Alpha of a Pack" one of them said.I was surprised. I did not expect the Lycan King to tell them such.Could Xavia be the reason he is treating me well? I wondered.I walked out of the cell and headed outside. I was surprised to see not only Arden but also Kate. I blinked. She was the last person I was expecting to see.Why is she here? I wondered. "K-Kate?" I mumbled and she smiled at me but said nothing.I could not move closer to them. I stood rooted to my spot not knowing

The GILBERTWhen Xavia told me she did not hold any grudges against me I was ashamed of myself. I had not expected that from her despite everything I did to her. What I expected was a fierce, angry, and revengeful Xavia. The one who will treat me as badly as I have treated her or even more. But the one who stood before me was the kind-hearted Xavia who stared at me with pity. I stared at her right from the cell in which I was locked and my heart bleed.How did I come to be like this? How was I cruel enough to treat someone like Xavia very badly? She was a good person. She has always been.I looked away quickly. I could not keep looking at her. I had not thought there would be a time when I would feel humiliated. A time that I would feel ashamed and remorseful for everything I have done."I-I am sorry" I muttered. "I should not have lusted after you. I felt guilty that I treated you so badly, yet you did so well. I thought getting you back was the only way I would stop feeling guilty

I turned to face her. "I do not understand why he spoke to Jason about the contract. He never spoke to me about wanting me back""I knew he had always had an ulterior motive. It was obvious. I told you he is cunning""You did but I still do not get it. We spoke yesterday, right before I came to meet you and he said nothing to me about wanting me back as his mate. He never spoke about me being his mate. It was strictly about the gold business""His motive would have been obvious if he had spoken about it. He needed you to trust him and you did""But why would he ask Jason for a contract that is about six years old?""To take you back, I guess""Why would he want to take me back? Even if he wants to, why would he talk about the contract""He couldn't wait anymore for you to come back to him, I guess"I scoffed. "Does he think I am going to return to him if he goes about it this way?""That might be his easiest way""Are there not other ways he can use to try to woo me back? What gives h

XAVIAI noticed that Axel had been acting strange recently. Aside from him being worried that I would choose Gilbert instead of him, I could tell there was something else causing him to worry. I became worried too. I spoke to Alaila about it and she told me it might be work and the Pack affairs."I do not think it's any of these two," I said."How are you sure about it?"I shrugged. "I am not sure but I do not feel those are the reasons"She sighed. "Do you have anything in mind? I mean anything you considered may be the reason?""I can't think of any" I answered. "If you cannot think of anything then I will suggest you stop getting worried too""I wish I could but I can't. Seeing him worry makes me worry too""Have you tried speaking to him about it?""I spoke to him and he said he is worried that I will choose Gilbert over you""Why would you do that? You have no reason to""I told him that. I told him I did not have any reason to go back to Gilbert. He is worried that if I keep ta

She stared at me. "I am not asking you not to worry now". She placed her hand on my face and smiled. "But I want to know why you are worried". I stared at her but said nothing. "Come on, tell me why you are worried," she said and I sighed."I am worried that you will choose him over me"She stared at me. "Yo-you are joking right?""I am not" I replied. "I have tried not to think about it but I can't help it""Why would you think of such? Do you think I am going to leave you for Gilbert?" she asked and I sighed. "Do you not trust me?""I trust you" I muttered. "But I do not trust the mate bond""What do you mean?""He is your mate...""Was my mate" she corrected. "He rejected me, remember?"I sighed. "I know he rejected you but what...""Axel, can you stop worrying about nothing?"I held her hand. "I have every reason to be worried. He is your mate and you belong to him too""I do not belong to him.

AXELJason told me that the Ice Pack Alpha would be coming later with his Beta to the company and I asked Xavia to stay back in the Packhouse after she closed from school. I do not want her to meet with him and remember her experience with him, which is why I do not want her to come to the company. I can still remember how she stared at him in fear when she saw him."Why do you not want me to come to the company?" she asked."I want you to get some rest" I replied."But I have a lot of work to do at the company""I will ask Jason to help you do them""I do not want Jason to help me. I want to..."I held her hand. "Xavia, I know how school has been these days. You are also preparing for your exams. Adding the company's work will only make you become stressed out. You need as much rest as you can get now ""Can I at least go today? I can stop going to the company tomorrow""Hey, babe. I want you to rest until you are done with exams""That's too far. I...""How about you take this week

I never thought that I was going to like Xavia, after all the things we experienced together but ever since I came back from the meeting in the Lycan Pack and set my eyes on Xavia, I could not stop thinking about her. At first, I thought it was because she was now the Spirit Princess but I soon realized that I liked her. It was never supposed to happen. I was never supposed to like someone I rejected some months ago, but right now that is what is happening.I was to meet up with the spy today. To avoid anyone being suspicious, I asked that he meet me in the garden. I sat in the garden waiting for him and when he finally showed up, I stood up."Hope you have enough information for me," I said and he nodded.I have been curious to know how she got to the Lycan Pack. I could remember that Arden had told me she said she was never going to return to the Lycan Pack and for some reason, I suspected that she had a bad experience there, which I presumed to be worse than the one she experienced
A Mate Not For Sale SIXTY-THREE | She Looks Different
GILBERTThere was a general meeting in the Lycan Pack and I was to attend it with Arden. This was going to be the first meeting I would be attending in a long while and I wasn't looking forward to it. I had not expected my mother to send Arden to me to prepare to attend the meeting. When she found out about me rejecting Xavia, she was furious and she asked me to apologize to the Pack members and step down for a while but I refused. There was no way I would apologize to the Pack members for rejecting my mate. Was she, not the one who asked for the rejection? I insisted that I had no reason to apologize and that got her angry. I did not expect that she would apologize to the Pack members on my behalf and tell them I agreed to step down until I felt remorseful.Would I ever be remorseful? That was my first thought. I had done nothing to be remorseful for.My mom commanded the guards not to allow me to leave my room but she knew that they would not be able to hold me back so she visited h
