A Mate Not For Sale ONE | The Attack
XAVIA It was a few minutes to seven when I woke up. I had less than an hour to prepare for school, so I rush into the bathroom to take my bath. "Xavia!" my mom called and I popped my head out of the bathroom, wiping the water from my face."Don't tell me you are just taking your bath? Do you know what the time is?""I am so sorry, mom. I will be out soon""Your breakfast is on the table. I am leaving for work"I nodded. "Bye mom"I returned to the bathroom and quickly took my bath. I got dressed in my uniform and headed to the dining room to eat. Alaila walked in with her bag clutched to her back."You are just eating?"I rolled my eyes. "Come join me"She sat down beside me. "I already ate. You should eat fast. We don't have much time left". I nodded, filling my mouth with some bacon. "Easy". She chuckled. We suddenly heard gunshots and the spoon in my hand fell. Alaila stared at me, her hand shaking vigorously."T-they are not here to attack us again. A-are they?"I blinked. I cou

GILBERT KINGWhen Hade walked in, I knew the warriors must be back from the human territory."Sir, I..."I raised my hand, shutting him up. "What is the news?""We were able to..."I turned and glared at him. "What is the news!!""We got them. I mean the girls"I sighed and stood up, walking closer to him. I walked past him and held him by his neck, pressing him down. He groaned but stood firmly."How many times have I warned you to always go straight to the point when you want to speak to me? How many times have I warned you not to answer me with more than three words?" I dipped my claws into his neck and he groaned."Gilbert?" my mom called and I turned. "What are you doing?". She walked closer to me. "Gilbert, get your hands off his neck" she yapped at me.I pulled my claws out of his neck, and he fell to the ground. "Leave!" I ordered and he ran out of the room. "Why are you here?"I asked, staring at my hand filled with blood. I picked up a towel. "You did not tell me you were co

AXELAs I get ready to leave for the Ice pack, my mom would not stop following me around. I kept stealing glances at her knowing she has something to say, but she wasn't saying a word to me and that made me feel so uneasy. I suddenly stopped moving and faced her. She stared at me and then walked to the couch in my room to sit down."Why do you want to visit the Ice pack?" she asked, after a few minutes of silence. "Why do you suddenly want to leave the pack? You haven't done that in a while"I moved closer to her and whispered. "I had a dream"She furrowed her brows. "A dream?". I nodded. "Can you tell me about the dream?"I shook my head. I wasn't the type to talk much. I also do not feel comfortable with people around me, aside from Jason and my dad. I wasn't too close to my mom and found it difficult to relate to her. She left me with my dad when I was two and I grew up thinking I had no mom until she showed up when I was fifteen. Speaking to her has become more difficult after my

XAVIA "Y-you are not going home?" the older man asked and I nodded."We are not going home""Why do you not want to leave?" the older man asked."If you tell us the reason why you took us from the Ice pack and brought us here, then we will leave"He sighed and turned to speak to the younger man. I could not hear what they were talking about nor could their expression be read. I tried to look at the young man with the mask on."Do you think they will let us stay?" Alaila asked and I shrugged, not taking my gaze away from him. "What if he insists that we leave?"I sighed. "I don't think they will. They had not given us any reason why we were bought from the Ice pack, only to be dropped off in the middle of nowhere and asked to go home. They do not know where we belong to either""He wants you both to go home," the older man said.I blinked. "Are you for real? You can't drop us off here and asked us to go home. Do you even know where we came from?"I was furious they took us from the Ic

** For as long as we stayed out of trouble, we were allowed to work with the maids in the kitchen. We did the sweeping and mopping of the floor while the maids do the washing of the dishes and also cleaned every other thing in the kitchen. Helen was the one who do the cooking with little or no help from others. She made so little food I wondered if the rest in the packhouse cook their meals themselves. I soon find out from one of the maids that she cooks for the Alpha and she has been the only one doing that. Alora her second in command, makes the food for the rest of the packhouse members including the Alpha's mom and the Beta's family. I became curious to know why no one else can cook for the Alpha and decided to ask her, though I doubted if she will tell me why."Helen, why are you the only one cooking for the Alpha?" I asked with little hope."He is very sensitive," she answered and I furrowed my brows."Sensitive about what?"She dropped the plate in her hand and turned to face
A Mate Not For Sale SIX | A Good Decision To Make
I couldn't stop crying for a while and Alaila did not try to stop me either. She let me cry all I want and only patted me at some point. I could tell she was in tears too. After a while, I sniffed and pulled away from her."It's ok," she told me and I sighed.It should be ok, right? I have always hoped to meet my mom, and that had kept me going, but now, I do not know if I can keep going."What will I do now?" I asked and Alaila stared at me. "Who should I live for?" She sighed. "You should live for yourself, Xavia. You don't have to live for anyone""Myself?"She nodded. "Yes, yourself. You have a good life ahead of you. And you have me too""Alaila..."She placed her hand on my shoulder. "I do not want you to have a bad thought, Xavia. You have to be positive, ok?"I nodded, not in agreement but to make her stop worrying about me. I smiled at her and she smiled too. There was a knock on the door and Alaila stood up."I will check who is at the door. You should wipe your face"I nod

We walked into the room and boom!!! "Happy birthday!" was echoing all over the room. I blinked in surprise and happiness. Helen, Mary, and other maids were present. Jason was in the room too and he had a cake in his hands. Tears gathered up in my eyes. This was the least I had expected from them. I watched them sing a happy birthday song for me and I tried not to break down in tears.It was getting too much for me to bear. Just watching them sing for me with happiness, made me tear up."It's ok" Alaila patted my shoulder with a smile on her face."Thank you, very much, every one of you. Thank you" I cooed."Happy birthday, Xavia," Jason said, stretching the cake to me. "You should put off the candles' light,"I moved closer to him and blow off the candles' light. Clapping and shouting erupted and I smiled. They reminded me so much about my mom. And though I wanted to break down and weep because I miss my mom so much, something held me back."This is not the time to cry" I heard a voic
A Mate Not For Sale EIGHT | Where Could They Be?
AXEL I groaned slightly, my body hurting so badly. I could feel my bones cracking and I couldn't help but howl in pain. It was my transformation period, which for an average wolf, is too late. Also for an average Lycan, it is a year or two too late. I was twenty and I am yet to completely change into a Lycan wolf and someone who sees me for the first time and doesn't know anything about wolves or Lycans will take me as a monster.I was born special which made my transformation slower than others. Also, being from the Alpha's Lineage had added to it. Every full moon, I go through a painful transformation and I have never looked forward to another full moon.I whined a bit when the pain subsided. The room was quiet and dark but I could see through my Lycan eyes. Jason had gone to the packhouse to get a blanket. I noticed a rabbit had entered the room. At first, I ignored it but the hunting instinct in me made me dash towards it. I caught it and deep my claws into it, pulling it apart i

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

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
