A Mate Not For Sale FORTY-SIX | The Painful Truth
I watched Gilbert leave and I sighed. I was angry with him for acting rashly which has caused a lot of trouble for us. I left the training ground and went after Arden. I had expected him to take her to her room but instead, he took her to his. A lady ran out. "How is she?" she asked.I wondered who she was but when I got a clearer view of her face, I blinked."Isabella?" I cooed and she stared at me."Oh, mine. Kate. How are you? It's been a while" she said moving closer to me. "How long has it been? Six years?" she asked as we hugged."You look beautiful, Bella," I said."You aren't bad, yourself," she said with a smile."I did not know you were here. I would have visited you"She sighed. "You must be busy with the Pack affairs. I know how tiring it is to be the Luna. I am sorry I couldn't make it to your wedding""You don't have to be sorry. Arden told me about your busy schedule"I nodded and she smiled. "You should come in" she muttered.I followed her in. A doctor was already at
A Mate Not For Sale FORTY-SEVEN | It Can't Be The Truth
XAVIAMy life in the Ice Pack had turned sour in a twinkle of an eye and I became the worst enemy of the Alpha. I could not say if he treated me so badly because he found out that I love him or if he had another reason for treating me that way.After he threw me across the cell when he visited me, I had thought that would be all, and though he told me he was going to punish me after I left the cell, I expected it to be the usual strokes of canes. But I had not thought that he would show up at night in the cell again to punish me.I could not tell anyone what he did to me and how much pain he inflicted on me. Not even Arden, who has shown me so much love and is willing to help me, did I tell. When he visited a day ago, and saw the wound on my neck, he knew immediately that Gilbert was the one responsible for it. Although I denied it and told him I had fallen he would not believe it. There were no sharp objects in the cell, so there was no way I could have fallen and have pierced wounds
A Mate Not For Sale FORTY-EIGHT | It Could Be The Truth
"I-i do not believe you. I know you are lying" I said."I am not, Xavia. I know how difficult it will be for you to believe this. I could not believe it either. Because I did not expect him to treat his mate so badly"I sighed. I can't believe what she said. It's difficult for me to believe that Gilbert is my mate and he treated me so badly."I-i...""I know how hard it will be to accept this. You can ask Arden about it. I am sure he will be willing to tell you everything""Does he know that you are going to tell me all this?"She nodded. "I spoke to him first before coming to you. He wanted to come with me but I could see how sorry he was and how guilty he felt. So, I thought he should talk to you alone when he feels less guilty which I do not think would be anytime soon"I smiled. "He doesn't have to feel that way""Please, can you forgive Arden for..."I smiled. "I hold no grudges against him. He only followed the instructions given to him""Thank you"I sighed. "Lady Kate...""Jus
A Mate Not For Sale FORTY-NINE | Finally Free
"You are welcome" he answered and I smiled.We were silent for a while, with everyone lost in their thoughts.Should I speak up? I wondered. Or should I let the silence linger for a little while?I decided it was best to speak up as I was also getting tired of the awkward silence. "Do you think I should ask him about it? I mean the Alpha" I wanted to ask but I decided against it.There was no point asking Arden if I should ask the Alpha. This is my fight and I need to fight it alone! However, I know that Arden will be against it and might advise me like Kate to leave."What is your plan now?" he asked.I furrowed my brows. "For what?""Now that you know about Gilbert being your mate, what do you plan to do? Are you going to leave or do you plan to stay"I shrugged. "I haven't thought about what to do yet. First I want to clear my name then I can think of the next thing to do"He sighed. "I already spoke to Gilbert's mom. She knows everything now and she promised to renounce the slave
A Mate Not For Sale FIFTY | Leaving The Ice Pack
They kept telling me how sorry they were for treating me badly but I held no grudges against them. Being free was enough for me. That I get to leave the Ice Pack whenever I want was enough.But would I be able to leave? I wondered. I have fallen deeply in love with the Alpha and I do not think I can leave him even though he has never treated me so badly. The Lycan King never treated you this badly, before you left. I heard a voice say and I sighed. He was kind to me and besides me seeing him in his monstrous self, I do not have any other thing against him.I knew I needed to think about the next step to take which was to either forgive the Alpha and keep staying with him or leave without coming back.I should try to speak to him. I thought. I should try to hear what he has to say, then I can decide what to do next.I knew he would not see me if I went to his room and I would need to find a way of meeting him outside his room. I wasn't really strong and going to find him, myself was
A Mate Not For Sale FIFTY-ONE | Could That Be Xavia?
AXELAfter a few years spent in seclusion, Jason suggested that I return home. I had been away for three years which was after Xavia and Alaila left. After they saw me in my transformed form and considered me a monster, I became worried that my Pack members would feel the same when they saw me too.I was quite different from the rest of the Lycans. Aside from transforming at a late age, it was also very slow, which I felt was because I was a hybrid but soon found out I was born special. I decided it was best to leave the Pack and complete my transformation in seclusion. That way I would not have to worry about my Pack members. Jason was against it at first but I made him reason with me and he agreed to it. For a year and a half, I was in seclusion. During this period, I completed my transformation. Jason suggested that I begin to associate with others so that when I return to Pack it would be easy. It took me a year to do that. In my three years away from the Pack, not only did I tra
A Mate Not For Sale FIFTY-TWO | She Is Still Unconscious
I met with Jason and my jaw dropped. It was Xavia looking so pale and unconscious."Did you check her pulse? Is she still breathing?" I asked and he nodded."She's breathing, though her pulse is weak. She needs to see the doctor""How close are we to the...""We won't make it back to your place before dawn. We might need to go to another Pack for a doctor to attend to her"I sighed. "What about the Lycan Pack""It's closer than any other Pack but you might not want to go...""We are going there. Call the doctors to be on deck" I said, taking her from him.I took her to the car and placed her carefully into it. I sat beside her, her head on my lap. I stared at her pale face and I felt sad. Three years ago was when I last saw her. She was vibrant and full of life. I had not thought our next meeting would be like this. I held her hand and noticed they were cold. She soon began to freeze. Her body was already getting covered up with ice."Drive fast" I ordered."She will be fine," Jason
A Mate Not For Sale FIFTY-THREE | Meeting The Monstrous Alpha
XAVIAI was in a dark room where I could hardly see what was beside me. I wondered where I was and how I got there. I began to hear voices that at first I could not recognize. I soon recognized one of the voices to belong to Jason but the other was not familiar."She has gone through a lot" I heard as I felt a hand touch me.I moved my hand slightly and my eyes flung open. As I tried to adjust my eyes to the ray of light shining so brightly. A hand touched my face."She's awake" I heard. "Get the doctor, Jason"I blinked rapidly and when I finally stopped blinking my eyes, they settled on the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Those beautiful eyes stared at me too and my heart began to beat so fast.I blinked slowly. My heart has not beaten this fast for anyone besides the Ice Pack Alpha which I knew was not the one staring at me. I moved my gaze downward until it settled on the lips."Axel, the doctor is here" I heard Jason's voice and my heart skipped a beat.The only one who bea

A Mate Not For Sale SEVENTY-ONE | A Wedding To Remember
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
A Mate Not For Sale SEVENTY | A New Love Interest
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
A Mate Not For Sale SIXTY-NINE | Time To Make A Change
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
A Mate Not For Sale SIXTY-EIGHT | Can't Hold Grudges
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. I already told you that he rejected me""I know he did. But what if he changes his mind
A Mate Not For Sale SIXTY-FIVE | The Jealous Axel
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
A Mate Not For Sale SIXTY-FOUR | Desiring His Mate
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
