A Mate Not For Sale NINETEEN | Kate's Strange Visit
After I left Arden, I returned to my room to rest but as usual, Arden would not let me. He kept ranting about why I made Xavia a slave when I knew I would worry about her so much."I am not worried about her. How many times do I have to tell you that?" I told him."It’s obvious that you are worried about her. Why can’t you accept the fact that you do?""I am not. You...""Gilbert, if you keep worrying about her, that would do you no good. I think you should revoke her slave decree""I am not doing that. I am not the type to go back on my words""Gilbert...""Look, if you also care about her, you should speak to my mom about it. I am not the one who declared her as a slave""But you are the reason she became a slave. You..."I groaned. "Arden, can you stop talking?!" I yelled slightly at him."I am being truthful here. You made her a slave and now you worry about her. You should not have done that in the first place. I see the way you looked at her in the garden". He moved closer to me

"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

"Hey, sis" he muttered"Arden. It’s been a while. How have you been?" Kate asked, hugging him."Hey, I know you miss me but right now, you’re suffocating me" Arden teased. "Sorry about that" Kate muttered, releasing her grip on him."I see you’ve seen Gilbert already. He must be very happy to see you" Arden said, giving me a wink.I scoffed slightly. Is he trying to make a jest of me?"I think I am the one happy to see him" Kate answered sadly."Trust me. Gilbert misses you so much. He was always asking me about you"Kate’s eyes brightened up. "Really?"Arden nodded. "Of course. There was a time he could not sleep from missing you"I blinked. When was there a time like that?"What are you talking about?" I asked Arden, amidst gritted teeth. Arden ignored me. "You both must have a lot to talk about"Kate smiled. "We've been together for a while now and there has been a lot to talk about""I guess, I should let you have some time together. I am sure you both still have a lot to catch

"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
A Mate Not For Sale TWENTY-SIX | A New Place Of Work
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
