Choosing My Own Mate After Rebirth Chapter Seventeen
HAILEYLast night was delightful. Carter showed me a part of him which I didn't know he had. We talked for us before we returned back home. Surprisingly, after I told him about Tristan and Maya's betrayal, he in turn told me a little about Alanna and himself."Alanna and I were childhood sweethearts. We loved ourselves dearly and always knew that when we finally become of age, we'd be mates." I could hear pure sadness in his voice as he opened up to me."We were inseparable even though my family was against our union because she was a half breed. Half wolf and half woman." Just the same way he listened to me, I did the same for him."On the night of the full moon, the day we were finally going to have our first shift, Alanna mysteriously disappeared without a trace. I searched everywhere for her all to no avail. My family, nobody wanted to lend a helping hand because according to them she was not a complete wolf. We didn't get the chance to identify as mates. We were cruelly deprived

CARTERGetting close to Hailey was something I didn't have the power to control. She made me feel like I could trust her, like my deepest secrets would be safe with her.I didn't expect a companion when I signed the marriage contract, I had solely expected an ally but I guess we take what life gives us. It was a plus to me after all.I opened up about Alanna to her and I felt free. It felt good to finally be able to share some aspect of my life with someone. Alanna was a special part of my life and I wanted everyone to know how much she meant to me.Surprisingly, Hailey asked me if she could work in my company which I willingly agreed to. I didn't see a reason not to allow her work. I personally preferred an industrious person.This morning, I stood by the staircase, patiently waiting for Hailey to come out from her room. Today was her first day of work and I didn't tolerate lateness but I couldn't find it in me to go without her, not after we had bonded the night before. I wasn't tha

HAILEY"What are you doing here all alone?" I used my hand to block the sun rays from getting into my eyes as I looked up at him but Xavier, being the gentleman that he was, used his body to shield me from the sun."Let's say I just come here to think." He answered. He was still as calm as I remembered."I didn't get the chance to thank you properly the last time for standing up for me." I remembered that I owed him an appreciation for taking my side in front of his family."That was nothing. I didn't even do what was expected of me" He paused for a second or two and then continued, "I'm the one who owes you an apology for the silly behavior of my mother and brothers. That was very unkind of them.""You've done that before. Besides, you shouldn't apologize for an offense you didn't commit. You're a good person." I said the last word with a big smile on my face."Oh, you don't know" He muttered to himself that I had problems figuring out the exact words."Huh?" I asked for clarificatio

HAILEYI opened my eyes slowly and that's when the pain hit me. My face hurt like hell and I was sure my lips had a cut on them. Growl had slapped me multiple times till I passed out. I was tied to a chair with my legs and hands bounded. How did I come to this?I suddenly remembered Xavier. Where was he? I studied the environment and I realized that we were in some sort of abandoned warehouse. I looked to my side and there I saw him tied to a chair with his head hung low as he had passed out. His entire face and clothes were bloody like he had been beaten to a pulp.I instantly felt like crying but I knew that now wasn't the time. Since we were alone, there was no other better time to escape than now. I didn't know who these men were and I had no business with them but Xavier seemed conversant with them. I couldn't help but wonder why they were after him.For all I knew, Xavier was a calm and patient man. So there was no way he'd be involved with people like this."Xavier!" I whispe

CARTERAfter the call with Malachi, I quickly dialed Sabastein's number and he answered on the second ring."Xavier has been kidnapped" I said immediately the call was connected without waiting for him."What trouble has he gotten himself into this time?" Sabastein sounded uninterested because we all knew Xavier. "There's nothing too big for Xavier to handle"Xavier was a mafia boss. Yes, we all had our fair share of underground business but Xavier was the boss. It was his business, his livelihood. He was the quiet one among us yet the deadliest. It was easy to overlook him since he was always silent but we knew him better than anyone else.We really hadn't bothered about him because he could always sort himself out but this time, he wasn't alone. He had Hailey with him so I had to get involved."Not this time," I told Sabastein, "he has my wife with him."Even as I mentioned that Hailey was stuck in the middle of Xavier's shenanigans, Sabastein's interest didn't peak.I knew he didn'

CARTERI could recognize that wolf. How couldn't I? When it haunted my dreams. I immediately knew it was Alanna. She had come back for me.I hadn't seen Alanna in her wolf form before because that opportunity was cruelly snatched from me but immediately I set my eyes on the wolf, a sense of familiarity bubbled inside of me. I was very certain that it was her.Without a second to waste, I shifted back to my human form. "That's Alanna, my mate!" I said to Xavier even before he could ask. I knew he was curious as to what the identity of the strange wolf was."What are you waiting for? Go after her!" He urged me.I wanted to run after her but then I remembered Hailey and I paused, "how's she?""She's unconscious but she'll be fine" Xavier said, urging me to chase after Alanna, "I can take care of her while you go find your mate."I nodded but still didn't move an inch, I felt reluctant to leave. "Do not miss this opportunity to find your long lost mate!" Xavier pushed me and immediately,

HAILEYI couldn't remember or think of anything at the moment, my thoughts were all hazy and fuzzy, and I had no clarity in my mind.From going out with Xavier to the incident with the kidnappers then finally Carter's appearance, and although I was floating in and out of consciousness, I could hear when Xavier had asked him to go after his mate Alanna. I knew he had hesitated, he didn't want to leave me behind but she was his mate, and although it was right he went, I felt a pang of indescribable emotion. Jealousy, want, or the feeling for someone to love me as crazily as he loved Alanna. It felt stiffening."But what about Hailey, there's no way I can leave her here, what if they come back here," Carter asked again. "I'll take her to the pack doctor, you do not need to worry about her," Xavier said, holding me firmly in his arms.Carter still didn't move, hesitant, but Xavier said again. " You've been searching for ten years for her Carter, go after her, this might be your only ch

HAILEYCarter's laughter reached my ears when he saw the shocked expression on my face."I should make more meals for you," he said pulling my cheeks affectionately."I never thought I'd be able to eat that amount of food," I added."It's good that you were able to, you'll recuperate quickly if you continue eating like this," he said putting the plate back on the table. I smiled at his kind gesture, and the look in his eyes made me feel for a moment, loved."You should rest again," he said, and pushed me softly to lie on the bed. "I can't, I'll die of indigestion before daybreak," I replied holding his hand for support while I stood up from the bed. "I'll just take a walk with you, how about that," I asked and he nodded positively to my request, walking off the bed behind me, and holding my hands in his for support. I leaned on to him for support, while he opened the door and we both walked outside of the room, taking a walk around the pack. The guards at each point in the pack h

CARTER"She's really grumpy and demanding but I love every second of it," I said, knotting my tie."I'm sure you do." Xavier replied, "I'd even mistake you for the carrying the child because of how happy and healthy you look," Xavier's comment made me laugh. He was right as I had heard the comment several times. A lot of people said I was enjoying the process of fatherhood way to much and my reply was always the same,"Becoming a father to Hailey's and my child was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire years of existence." Though the pregnancy made Hailey act up and become easily irritated with everything including me, I didn't mind. I loved every single moment of it and because of that, I now had a journal where I document each day of her pregnancy. Her food cravings, her likes and dislikes and so much more.Another thing about Hailey was that the pregnancy made her conscious of her body. She'd stand in front of a mirror and comment on how fat and out of shape sh

CARTERHailey's behaviour left me worried as this was the first time I had seen her this way. After she threw up, I couldn't help but notice how deathly pale she looked and the fact that she didn't touch her food made me scared.I found it difficult to concentrate as my mind thought of several reasons as to why she looked pale. Perhaps was she sick with a deadly, incurable disease? Due to how deep in thought I was, I didn't notice when Xavier walked in, until he placed a document on my table and muttered, "Earth to Carter.""Oh" I looked at him, "When did you come in?""Not long ago," He replied, taking a seat, "What's on your mind?""Hailey," I replied."What about her?" He asked curiously."I think she's sick.""Why do you have that thought?""Because for the first time ever, she threw up and she looks pale," I sighed, "and when I asked her, she said it's that time of the month. I think she's trying to hide something from me," I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on it

HAILEYMy relationship with Carter had improved considerable after the honeymoon proposal. We barely argued and we did everything together. He was the sweetest and the most perfect man for me. I had gotten used to his sweet side which he only used for me alone.Carter and I stood in the kitchen, which had become a regular witness to our intimate sessions. But that wasn't the point. We were baking a bread together for breakfast and we were waiting for it to be ready."Do you think it'll come out great?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Carter was a great good and I envied him for that quality."Of course," He smiled, "Whatever I whisk up must come out delicious. Chefs kiss" He folded his fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed loudly.I rolled my eyes at him with a smile on his face, "Narcissist," I muttered."It'd be a waste to be this good and not show it off, you know that right?"I threw an ugly face at him and he laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?" He wrapped

CARTERI stood and stared at the vast expanse of greeny before me.Xavier had told me before hand about Temmy asking me to lead her pack.I knew what she was worried about.Temmy was capable of ruling, but the fear of the Innocent people having to suffer if any mischief came up was the issue.I'd been thinking about it for a while and I decided to finally say it to Xavier.A combined honeymoon, Carter and Hailey, Temmy and I.However we'd have to leave that pack and although the peace was all settled, it'd still take a lot of arrangements to make for a trip like that. "Xavier,"I called from behind as he walked towards me."What are you doing here," I asked and shook my hands." Thank you for accepting Temmy's offer," he thanked and he gave a stoic response."I've something to suggest Xavier," I began and he turned to look at me Interestedly." What is it that you've in stock," he asked as I kept mute."A combined honeymoon," I said and he stood shocked before finally getting a grasp

TEMMYI lay down on my bed, reminiscing about the relationship between Xavier and me.I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts to no avail, they consumed me whole.I'd been thinking about it the whole day, our relationship, my relationship with him.It felt even more different after the incident that happened last.When he told me that he loved me, I felt my heart thump rapidly but it thumped harder when I saw him losing consciousness in my arms.A Small part of me wanted to stop but I couldn't, I struggled harder to stop the rampage Inside of me.But despite all this, he didn't stop holding, despite the chances that it could be his last chance of survival.A thought clicked in my mind, I'd marked Xavier and he had as well, but I had no memories of doing so.Love was sweet and I ran my hands through the mate mark on my body, smiling like a Cheshire cat to myself.The small date, little Jabments of PDA when we both hadn't confessed our feelings to each other, the thrill that came wit

HAILEYMy face burned bright red as I realized what I had just done. "Uhm," I coughed awkwardly, "I..I didn't mean it like that" I tried to come up with an excuse but it didn't seem like Carter bought it."There's no need to retract your words, Hailey." He chuckled deeply, a sound that shamelessly made me want to clench my legs together.I was short of words so I decided to keep mute. Since I met Carter, I have never felt as needy as I felt at that moment and the most surprising thing was that I wasn't under any kind of spell that made my senses become heightened."Do you want me to fuck you or not," Carter asked, staring deep into my eyes, "Tell me you don't crave me as much as I do and I'll turn around and walk away, pretending that this conversation didn't take place."I swallowed the bundle of nerves that had formed in my throat. Of course I wanted Carter. I wanted him to do all sorts of wicked things he could come up with to my body. I wanted him to fuck me until I wouldn't be a

HAILEYI hadn't spoken to Carter since the fight. We just acted like we couldn't see ourselves, we just went about ignoring each other.I tossed around on the bed unable to fall asleep due to the pain of my injuries. I sighed for the umpteenth time as I sat up on the bed, thinking of a way to distract myself from everything.Finally, I decided that ice cream was the best option so I came down from bed and walked out of my room, heading downstairs.The living room was dark, only illuminated by the light coming from the kitchen. I contemplated going back to my room as I assumed Carter was in the kitchen but on a second thought, I walked further. The maids had probably forgotten to turn off the light.But I was wrong. A shirtless Carter stood by the kitchen counter, chugging down a bottle of water, his body on full display. I halted in my track, pondering on my next line of actions.I thought about heading back to upstairs to my room but just as I was about to drag my feet, Carter droppe

XAVIERAfter the chaos, we finally made it home. I towered over Temmy, watching her closely as she slept.She looked incredibly peaceful, a huge contrast to her earlier behavior. But I didn't blame her for that. It wasn't her fault. I could only hope that she was back to normal.Speaking of the incident, I reached for my neck, the exact place where Temmy bit me and absentmindedly caressed it. I wasn't sure if she realized that she marked me which was a way to stake her claim on me.I felt giddy that she remembered me even while struggling with demons. She choose me even while she wasn't in her right frame of mind. I could only hope and pray that she doesn't regret it because then, I wouldn't know how to act.I was glad that no substantial harm was inflicted on anyone as it would have made matters worst. Thinking back, Hailey suddenly crossed my mind so I left to check up on her but not before placing a kiss on Temmy's forehead.In Hailey's room, while she sat on the bed, Carter stood
