There was silence for a while."I heard Kate wants her as her slave. What would you do about it?" he asked."You knew that too?""Is there something I do not know? Tell me what you intend to do?""I do not know""You do not intend to give her to Kate, do you?"I shook my head. "I am not giving her to Kate. I can't. She already thinks I am favoring her. She is going to make her life miserable""I know that and that is the reason I am worried about her. You might not want her as your mate and might have rejected her in your heart but your wolf will not be happy seeing her being mistreated by Kate. Will you be able to cope with that? " I shook my head in disapproval." But you know Kate will always get what she wants""I know and I am worried about that. She even threatened to ask the Luna directly""You can't let her involve the Luna or your mate will end up in her hand and you will not be able to do anything about it""Do not call her my mate""Well, she is because you haven't rejected

XAVIAToday is the Alpha's wedding with Kate and everyone should be there by now. I saw a few ladies dressed in beautiful clothes and adornments, walking past the garden."I wished I could take a peek at the wedding ceremony," I said to myself but I knew that was never going to happen, not after Kate had given the order.I wasn't allowed to partake in the wedding food or drinks too.How long would I go on with this? I wondered. How long will I have to accept being treated like this without saying a word?I stared at the flowers in front of me. These are my only sources of hope and joy. Katherine who is my friend has stopped visiting me and that has got me wondering if we are still friends or not, or if work has been too much for her and that is the reason she hasn't shown up.If Alaila was here, she would not have left me to this kind of fate but would have come to the garden with me. I thought. We would have gone through all these together.This thought made me miss her so much.I sh

I was surprised to see Jason standing in front of me. When I saw him at the wedding hall, I was embarrassed. I wished I would not have to see him again. I did not notice Alpha Axel at the wedding hall, though I wouldn't have looked him in the face if I saw him, I would have shrieked in fright."Xavia?" Jason muttered and I blinked back to the presence. "Look at you," He said as he opened his arms for a hug.I stared at him for a while and without having a second thought, I ran into his warm hug."It's good to see you, Jason" I muttered. "It's good to see you too, Xavia," he said.I pulled away from the hug after a while and smiled at him."Alpha Axel did not come to the wedding?" I asked."You still remember him?"I nodded. Can I ever forget a monster like him?"He could not make it to the wedding" he answered. "How have you been?""I've been fine. How are you? How is the Lycan Pack? How is everyone? I have missed them"He smiled. "Why did you not visit us if you missed us that much"

GILBERTMy wedding with Kate went just like my mom wanted. Not only did prominent people show up, but it also became the talk of other Packs. Everyone talked about how awesome the wedding was and Luna from other Packs came to ask my mom for advice on how to plan their sons and daughters wedding. My mom bragged about how good a planner she is. To complete her wedding plan, she asked that Kate and me go for our honeymoon, at the place she had prepared.At first, I was against it. Going on a honeymoon was not one of my plans. I only wanted a wedding to get fame and please my mom. Arden suggested I listen to my mom and go for the honeymoon to get on her better side."I am already on her better side" I had told him."Well, think of it as been better on her better side". I stared at him and busted into laughter. "What's funny?""You do not know?" I had asked and he furrowed his brows. "Will I be asking if I do?""Well, you are the one that is funny""How?""The thing you said. Where did y

There was silence for a while until Arden spoke up again. "How long are you going to keep Xavia in the garden?" he asked and I stared at him. "What do you mean by that?""You do not know what I meant or you are pretending not to?""Arden, go straight to the point and stop asking me questions""I mean, she's been in the garden for a long time. Don't you think it's time you bring her...""You are not suggesting that I allow her work close to me"He nodded. "Isn't that the reason you asked for her from your mother in the first place? So that she doesn't have to work in a place where Kate will have access to her"I scoffed. "Yes, I asked for her to keep her away from Kate, not to keep her with me""Gilbert, keeping her with you is the best...""She is not someone I need, so I am not keeping her with me""Gilbert...""Please, I am not interested in this conversation""Gilbert, this conversation is necessary. You can't...""Arden, what's your problem? Do you want her? I can give her to you

"Well," he began but stopped talking when he saw a young man walking towards us.From his aura, I presumed him to be the Lycan Beta. I stared at Arden who stared back at me too."That must be the Beta," Arden said."Yes. That is Beta Nathan"I nodded with contentment. Now I understand why the head of the council compared him with some Alphas. I stood up to welcome him which was so unlike me. He walked past me with no emotion on his face and I blinked.Did he just ignore me?"Beta Nathan, this is Alpha Gilbert of the Ice Pack. The one Elder Edward told you about". He nodded and sat down, saying nothing. "Please, sit," the elder said.I stared at Arden who smiled slightly. "Please, don't get angry" Arden mind-linked me quickly.I sat down saying nothing. There was silence as we waited for Beta Nathan to speak up. Instead, he began to write on a piece of paper and after a while, he placed his hand on his right ear. I tapped my left foot on the floor.How long will I have to put up with

"Arden!!!" I called but he ignored me.I groaned slightly. "When I lay my hands on you, I will make sure to teach you a lesson" I yelled.I noticed Xavia was staring at me and I brushed my hair backward slowly. She looked away immediately and I walked away, going after Arden."How dare you leave me standing while you walk away?" I asked him when I walked into his room."You did not tell me you have something to say until you saw me leaving. How do you expect me to stay when I have something to do?"I scoffed. "And what is that thing you have to do?""It's none of your business. Tell me why you are here""I told you not to speak to me that way. I am your Alpha and you are my Beta. You should give me some respect"He scoffed. "Don't you think you should give me some respect as your Beta too? I can be likened to some Alphas, you know"I laughed. "And which Alphas are you talking about?""The same way you can be likened to another Pack's Beta," he said with a wink and I scoffed."Are you

XAVIAWhen the Beta came to tell me about the change in my place of work, I was happy. Happy to leave the garden and work in a different place. But I had never thought that I would be working directly with the Alpha and will have to see his bitter side. At first, it was not easy working with him because I kept getting into trouble and got punished for that, but soon got used to it.I was also looking forward to going into the Alpha's room. Though he treated me with disdain, there were beautiful things to look at in his room. One of my favorites was his childhood pictures. The Alpha looked cute and calm when he was young and that got me wondering what changed.Every time I went into his room, I stare at his pictures without him noticing, with fear that he might punish me if he catches me staring. There were also some beautiful sculptures in his room too and I loved to stare at them. There was a time he caught me touching one of them and I got punished for it. I was locked up for seven

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. I already told you that he rejected me""I know he did. But what if he changes his mind

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
