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 FIFTY-FOUR | Meeting With Alaila
"You are joking right?" I asked and he smiled."I am not. Alaila is on her way here. She should be here by evening"I shrieked in happiness. It's a good thing that I will be seeing Alaila again after three years of being away from each other."I am so happy right now""I know you are""But why did you not tell me about it? I would have prepared something to welcome her""I am sorry about that. You know I would have told you about it but Axel insisted that I keep it as a secret. He wanted it to be a surprise"I hugged Jason. "Thank you so much""You should thank Axel not me""Can you thank him for me?""I can't. You should do that yourself""Please. I cannot face...""Are you sure you can't? Because I see how you stare at him through the kitchen window every time he goes for a meeting and whenever he is coming back"I furrowed my brows. "You do?"He nodded "Of course. Tell me, do you have any interest in him""No-no. I do not""Are you sure you do not? Because I see how you wave at him
A Mate Not For Sale FIFTY-FIVE | Getting To Know Him
I tapped my right foot slightly and sighed. Though I enjoyed the chat between them, I was begging to feel left out. Some maids brought in the food and began to serve. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to look around. My eyes settled on Axel and I stared at him for a while. I have been thinking of how to speak to him so that I can appreciate him for everything he has done for me and Alaila.Jason nudged me slightly. "Staring at him again?""I-i am not staring" I lied."But I caught you staring," he said and I rolled my eyes but said nothing."Kayden told me you both are going to the new island next week," Alaila told Axel who nodded slightly."You are leaving again?" Axel's mother asked."I already told you I will leave when she gets better" Axel answered."Axel, who are you going to leave the affairs of the Pack with?" His mom asked. "Is Nathan not in the Pack anymore?" he asked as he picked up an apple and began to peel."He is preparing for his wedding. Do you want him to leave
A Mate Not For Sale FIFTY-SIX | Going Back To School
Alaila took her time to make me up. And while I tried to hasten her up, she ignored me."Alaila, can you at least hasten up a bit? There is no time. I can't keep Axel waiting. He...""Axel will wait. You don't have to worry about it""Can you...""If you want me to hasten up, you will have to keep quiet and stay put"I sighed. "I will but please...""I will hasten up," she said. I watched Alaila through the mirror as her hands worked like magic on my face. "Just a little touch and we are done"Alaila spent a few more minutes before announcing that she was done and I breathed a sigh of relief."What do you think?" she asked as I stared in the mirror."It's beautiful but I think it's a bit much. It's...""Since you call it beautiful, that means you love it. And that you love it means we are done here. I am going to get the gown" she said walking away. She returned a few minutes later with a blue dress and handed over the dress to me. "Put on this dress. It will fit you perfectly". I sta
A Mate Not For Sale FIFTY-SEVEN | Working Together
AXELI shifted my morning meeting with the elders so I could take Xavia to school. I knew she was going to be nervous and might need an extra hand. Before leaving my room, I asked Jason to help me get her breakfast packed.She might not want to eat before leaving. I thought."Meet me at her place with it and don't get there late," I told him."I won't be," he said.I met Alaila outside their room and I thought Xavia had left already. "Don't tell me she has gone to school""She hasn't. She is inside getting ready. I only came out to get something""Can you tell her I am out here? I would like to drop her off at school"She nodded. "I will""Has she eaten yet?" I asked."No. I don't think she would be eating before she leaves""I already told Jason to help her pack her food""That's a good idea. She would love that. I will get her for you"Alaila left and I waited outside for her. After a while, Xavia opened the door."Hey" I muttered. "How are you doing?""I am doing great. Thank you

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.

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

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

"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.

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
