A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-TWO | A Thought Worth Thinking
"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
A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-THREE | Finally A Good Idea
I went in search of Arden, to see if he might have some ideas to share with me about Xavia but when I got to his room, it was locked."Where is the Beta?" I asked the guards at the door "He has not returned after he left for the feast yesterday" one of them answered.I knew immediately that was the reason he hasn't shown up to ask me how my day went with his sister. I thought about waiting around for him but the guards do not look comfortable with me around. I also knew Arden might not be returning anytime soon. "When he gets back. Tell him to see me, ok" I told them. "Yes, Alpha" they muttered in unison.I left his place and did not return to my room, knowing Kate would be looking for me. I had left the garden without her knowledge and I knew how furious she would be, she might threaten to scream the building down. That had always been her threat, which of course, has always been carried out by her so many times.Surprisingly, she hasn't changed much despite being gone for so many
A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-FOUR | The Strange News
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
A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-FIVE | The News That Flies So Fast
"That can't be" I muttered."You said what?" Katherine asked"Nothing. I did not say anything""Mary, where did you hear the news from?" I asked, still finding it difficult to believe it."That's right. Where did you get the news from?" Katherine asked."Come closer," Mary said, urging us with her hand. I wondered why she suddenly wants us to come closer when she had told us the news openly.I looked at Katherine who shrugged. "Well. We should go closer"We moved closer to her. "So what do you have to say?" I asked, my arms folded."Where did you hear the news from?" Katherine asked."From the maids in the Luna's chamber," Mary answered.This must be a piece of real news since it comes from the Luna's chamber. I thought."Are you sure about this, Mary?" Katherine asked and Mary nodded."Then we should get ready to prepare for a wedding right?" Katherine asked, giving a beaming smile."I think we should," Mary said, also smiling."What does the Alpha's wedding have to do with us?" I a

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
A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-SEVEN | A Bit Of Secret
GILBERTI have been hearing rumors about my wedding with Kate and I knew the rumors did not start without my mother and Kate being involved. A few elders congratulated me during meetings while others gave me approving smiles. At first, I was worried about the rumor becoming real but decided to ignore it, since my mom had not said anything to me yet. "It's a good thing the Alpha is finally settling down" I heard one of the elders whisper to another at one of our meetings."I think so too. We will be getting the heir to the pack soon and we can put our minds at rest""I do not know our meetings are now for cheap gossip" I answered."We are sorry, Alpha. We are just very happy you are finally getting married" one of the elders said.I groaned slightly."I am not getting married" I muttered quietly.If this is what I will keep hearing, I think I should better end the meeting. I thought, standing up."This meeting has been adjourned," I said walking out of the hall.Arden followed me behin
A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-EIGHT | A Time To Think
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
A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-NINE | The Encounter
XAVIATalking with the Alpha was surprisingly nice and interesting, unlike what I had expected. I had known him to be cold-hearted and not friendly. A few of my encounters with him were not friendly. I could still remember our last conversation and how he had treated me. Not to talk about my first encounter with him after we were taken captives.He had asked that they lock me up in a room without food and water when I had done nothing wrong, but with the help of Alaila, we both ended up in a room and we were not locked up. We were also given food and water until the Lycan King came to rescue us.Our chat got interesting, though I did most of the talking, the look on his face made me know that he is interested in whatever I had to say and that got me talking. At some point, his lips curved into a smile. It was quick but genuine. That was my first time seeing him smile.Kate, his supposed wife-to-be, showed up and that ended our conversation. I groaned sadly, wishing she had not shown u
