All Chapters of A Mate Not For Sale: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"You haven't answered me. Where is Arden?""Work calls" I answered."Are you both always busy?""Well, sometimes we get so busy we do not have time for anything else, and sometimes there are not many things to do""Do you know I have missed staying in the Ice Pack? I missed spending time with you and Arden" she said and I rolled my eyes slightly.But I do not miss spending time with her. I thought. I still prefer to listen to Arden's unnecessary talks."Do you remember when we visited your father's garden without his permission to plug some fruit and Arden's trousers caught some thorn?" she asked and I nodded.I had forgotten most of the things that happened during my childhood and had to pretend that I remembered every bit of what she was talking about. I wondered why she suddenly brought this up."We ended up being chased by your dad's dogs. And we couldn't get a single fruit at the end" she said laughing so hard.I groaned slightly. This happened a long time ago, why does she feel

XAVIAI adjusted to the life of being a slave with the help of Katherine, pretty well than I had imagined. I got used to waking up early and sleeping late. Eating once or twice a day if need be was not a problem anymore. Sleeping in a crowded place was now easy and comfortable. I also loved every bit of work I was given and gave in my best to carry it out properly and without complaint. Not only do I love working in the garden now, I even looked forward to working in it.I had adjusted in such a short time and also made a few new friends. They helped me out in the garden when they have the chance. When we all had nothing to do and were expected to retire to bed, we crawled out of our dorm and either went to the kitchen to raid the store and have something nice to eat or visit a few places we had wanted to visit during the day. Surprisingly, we were never caught.I had asked Katherine so many times how we were able to carry out such acts without being caught and she insisted that it wa

Katherine ran after me and soon caught up with me."Is there something you are hiding from me?" she asked."No," I muttered."I don't think so. You seem worked up when I asked you why you left the Lycan Pack""I wasn't worked up. I was not just interested in the conversation""Really?"I ignored her and hurried up. We were close to the meeting ground already. The meeting was to take place in the dining hall and most of the girls were in the hall already.Katherine held my hand. "You...""Hurry up," Helen told us. She was standing by the door. "Bella is becoming impatient"We hurried into the hall and joined the rest quietly. There was silence as we waited for Bella to speak. She stared at us, saying nothing. My heart suddenly began to pant hard. Bella's lips curved into a smile. "Good news" she muttered and there was a loud clapping across the hall. I couldn't clap like the rest, but could only tap my feet impatiently. All I wanted was a quick word from Bella so we can all return to

I sighed. Arden seems to be making sense. If I can't show my mate to my mother, I can as well please her by pretending to accept the wedding proposal with Kate. But how can I pretend and for how long? I wondered."Do you have any suggestions?" I asked Arden who seemed focused on a magazine on the table. I waited for his reply which never came. After a few seconds, I tap him slightly."What?" he muttered."I can't believe you haven't been listening to me""I was listening""But you were staring at that magazine while I was talking to you?""I wasn't staring at the magazine. I was just quiet because you weren't saying anything""But I have been talking to you for a while now. Was I still not saying anything?""Fine. I was distracted a bit. I am sorry"I sighed. "Do you have an idea on how to pretend to accept the wedding proposal, because I do not know how"He shrugged. "I do not have any idea," he said and I blinked.He doesn't know how and he suggested that I pretend."You mean you h

The Alpha was in a meeting, so we waited outside the meeting hall. Kate ordered them to tie me up just in case I decided to run away and I found that odd. I was sure she knew I could not run away even if I wanted to because that would be me asking for death."Make her kneel" she ordered and the guards made me kneel in front of her.There was silence as I listened carefully to the meeting going on in the hall. Hearing the Alpha's voice made me remember our conversation and my lips curved into a smile.The meeting was taking longer than Kate expected cause I could see the impatient look on her face. She began to pace around the hall, groaning slightly."I did not know the meeting was going to take this long" she muttered, brushing her hair backward.She should have thought about that because bringing me here. I thought."Guards, lock her up in the cell until the Alpha is ready to punish her" she ordered and I stared at her.Why does she want to lock me up?Without losing my hand, the gu
