Be My Mate

Sabrina's POV

"You are so beautiful Sabrina..." Xander says to me as we lay cuddled in bed.

"I'd spend every night with you even if my life was in danger, I'd risk it all just to have this with you." He says, cupping my face with his big hand as I look in to his eyes.

His other hand drawing circles on my back with my head on his chest, his heartbeat calming my nerves. He was saying the sweetest things and here I am, worried about today.

The day he meets his second chance mate. The day his life changes and it won't include me in it any longer.

"I can't believe this is it. We had plans for our future.." He continues.

"We did but I guess we will never get to see them through." I say sadly.

Last night was what every night had been with Xander, magical. We can go from animalistic to pure love making and that's what we did.

Can't say we had enough sleep and I'm not complaining. If I could add extra hours to the night, I would have but that's not how life works even though I'm a god.

"Hunter thinks I shouldn't be forced to be with or without anyone." I say.

"Oh yeah?" He asks and I nod my head yes.

"He's a stubborn old man who just wants to see his daughter happy but we can't risk it, for the sake of the pack. I can't risk people getting hurt for my happiness." I say.

And once again, my happiness taking the back seat when it comes to decision making. I guess more happiness awaits me with Aiden so is it fair to complain?

"In another life, I will have you and Adrastos as my family. Maybe even more children but I'm happy to have experienced our love Sabrina even though it was short, I got to experience a love so great and powerful." He says as the sun lights up our room, signaling the beginning of the new day.

People start walking about just outside his room. Loud chatter and laughter fill the hallways as sadness fills this room. Our time together at an end but neither of us ready to let go.

"I have to say, losing to your brother was a bruise to the ego. I'm a lycan of alpha blood and he's just a beta blooded werewolf but he showed me flames yesterday. I still can't believe he's through to the final." Xander says and I chuckle.

"You forget my brother was in training for almost ten years in the heavenly realm. He was blessed by the previous moon goddess with immense strength and he is a tactical fighter so I'm not surprised. Probably watched every fight you've been in and caught on to your style, nerdy brother of mine." I say with so much pride.

"Can't wait to see him fight again today. Everyone is excited for today and I guess we have to get up before they begin..." Xander says to me.

We remain quiet, not wanting to pull away from our loving embrace.

A few more minutes pass and I pull away, wanting to get this agony over with.

I quickly get dressed and turn around to face Xander, who was still in bed.

Naked.

"I'm gonna head off to freshen up and get changed. I'll meet you at the arena?" I ask and he nods his head yes but his eyes held so much sadness.

I quickly peck his lips and leave his room before the tears fall down my face. I disappear off back to my castle to cry some more.
