All Chapters of A Mate Not For Sale: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Arden gave me a disapproving and disappointing look and I regretted for a few seconds telling him about the plan."Why are you yelling?" I asked. "You want to sell someone off and you expect me to keep calm? Are you for real?" he said almost in a yell and I had to cover his mouth with my hand."Can you bring your voice down? Someone might hear you" I said."Someone? Hear me? In this soundproof place called a room?"I chuckled slightly. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?""It's not time to make jokes. Tell me, do you want to sell her off?""Isn't that the only option here"He scoffed. "Of course not. Have you forgotten about the...""Do you have any idea?""How about you make her work for you?""That is not a good idea. I do not want her anywhere close to me""That will not be the case for your mother""That is the reason I suggest selling""That is not an option. Why would you think of such? It doesn't make any sense""Then suggest an idea that makes sense and stop getting on my n

XAVIAI had not thought that coming to the Ice Pack would be a bad idea. All I wanted, when I was in the Lycan Pack, was to run away from Axel, and never return. Seeing him in his monster self, killed my sense of reasoning and all I could think of was how to survive. I also could not make Alaila suffer with me, that was the reason I made her leave. I made her return to her family.After separating from Alaila, I could not think of any safe place to go because I knew none. To me, the best place to return to, where I would not be bothered for being treated badly was the Ice Pack. But I never thought of the day, I will get entangled in a situation I knew nothing about and end up as a slave.Everything happened so fast, with no time to explain myself. They never gave me the opportunity to, as they shove the uniform. Into my hand. At some point, I had thought it could be a setup but who would do that to a human like me? I had not quarreled with anyone and did not have the chance to meet wi

The Lycan King's face flashed across my mind and I couldn't take my mind off it. The sharp but beautiful smiles he gives when no one is looking and the calmness on his face when he speaks to Jason. Thinking about those smiles, got me smiling too. It also caught me wondering why someone like him ended up as a monster. Though he doesn't speak to any one of us, neither does he come close, I could tell how nice he is through Jason.Then how has Jason been coping with him? I wondered. Do the Lycans know that their Alpha and King is a monster, who kills and feeds on blood?I shrugged aside the thought and decided it was best to go on with my work. Time was already far spent and there was still a lot of work to do. While I tried to work as fast as I could, my hands were failing me. I soon got tired and decided to take a rest.A little rest is not a crime. I thought as I sat down to rest.I closed my eyes, humming a song."Hey, you!" someone yelled and I jumped up quickly. A guard was standin

GILBERTMaking my maid a slave was a relief and I had nothing to worry about. My mom did not ask about my mate and she did not visit me either. This put my mind at rest, that I do not have to worry about my mom finding out that Xavia is my mate. I also do not have to worry about coming in contact with my mate and my wolf jumping up happily. Though I sometimes thought about her and wondered how she was doing, it was easy to get that thought off quickly.Arden did not say anything about her either. He was busy with pack affairs and his mate, he hardly visited. For a few weeks, I had a peaceful time to myself until Arden showed up again."Do you not miss me?" he asked with his mischievous smile."What are you doing here? Are you not busy with the pack's affairs?" I asked him."I am done with every pack's affairs I am assigned with. I know you gave me a lot of work to get me out of your sight but now I am back"I scoffed slightly. "I do not care about your presence""You do not?" he asked

"Your father was a good man. He was a good friend to my husband. He stayed with us after his friend’s death. He was a friend indeed. I was so angry I couldn’t make it to his burial"Kate smiled. "I wasn't able to make it to his burial either. I cried so hard when I heard about his death, but unfortunately, it was a few months after he was already buried. I still can’t forgive myself for that"My mom held her hand. "You should not blame yourself. I am sure he understands better and he loves you"I stared at the two of them, wondering why my mom had not asked her why she came back to the Ice pack. She left with her mother, a few months after my father’s death, leaving her father, my father’s Beta, and Arden. That is over six years now. She never showed up at her father’s retirement party which was done three years ago. I did not see her at her father’s burial, which had happened two years ago too.Why did she suddenly show up? And why is my mom not saying anything about her sudden appea
