Be My Mate

Sabrina's POV

"Not so fast." Allison calls out, grabbing my hand to stop me from walking away.

"What the fuck was that? Who are you and why was I rejected because of you?" She asks and I mentally groan but I put her in this position so she deserves an explanation.

"We were chosen mates but I found my true mate. Please just give him some time to cool off, he's got a lot to deal with." I say and Allison scoffs at me.

"You are the lot he has to deal with and you are going to fix this. I don't take kindly to rejection so if this isn't sorted out before we all return to our packs, Xander will have to prepare for war." She says to me.

"A little childish don't you think?" I ask her and she smiles.

"You heard him ask you who I was. He knows who my father is, how about you go find out what's got him so shook about my family." She says and I step closer to her.

"Your father could very well be the devil the humans talk about and he wouldn't be able to do anything to Xander. How about you go do your homework about me first, go on... ask about me." I say before walking away.

I walk a few steps, stopping to look back at Allison.

"I'm Sabrina Trent, that should help a bit." I say before continuing my search for Arianna.

This was a disaster! I just wanted Xander to find a mate so he can stay alive and we all know he is way too proud to ask for protection.

He'd rather die.

I find myself walking down corridor after corridor, not really paying attention to where I am going or actually sniffing out Arrianna. Too consumed with my thoughts, I walk in to Aiden.

I almost lose my balance but he catches me. I steady myself palms flat on his chest as I look up at him.

"Sorry.." I say, pulling away from him but he stays close to me.

I ask looking at him as his bruises begin to

going to chill in my room until then." Aiden says and I nod

and the tears prick my eyes, forcing myself to swallow down a sob that is threatening to come out once I

what's wrong? What happened?" He

easy for me because your mine." He states and

I'm aware of that, thank you." I

here and sure, maybe he's having a hard time about it but so am I! Put yourself in

for me as it is for you and for

we had. He was good to me, better than good so I will cry for that man until I heal because that's how

we were

go find Arianna so I can, at the very least, calm one of the storms in my life. This mate thing is not the only thorn in my life." I say before trying to walk away from him but he stops me by

Jealousy got the best of me." He says and I nod my head in understanding. Saying nothing further, I walk

now is not the best time Brina." My brother says but I ignore

to say my peace. You can stay too if you want." I say as

for blindsiding you with this whole mate thing but I honestly believe I had to do it and I would do it again. You know why?" I

die, you leave this world and the rest of us have to live with the loss of you, I have to deal with losing you so I'm not sorry for finding a way to keep you alive. You want the easy way out, yes, look at me however you like but death is the easy way out and that's not the Xander I know, the Xander I love. I will always love you, even if I end up with Aiden it will always be you for me too. Yes, I feel the mate pull and I fight it every damn day but I'd do it for a hundred years if it meant I could be with you but unfortunately we don't have the luxury of time." I say and Anthony

today because I could not bring myself to watch you take another woman. Yes, I'd rather have you in the arms of another woman than dead but it still hurts. I'm also hurting,

take this all in, it's like I'm busy helping everyone and doing my duties while watching my life fall apart. I am forced to let you go just as we are both forcing ourselves to hold on. Yes, I love you. Goddess, I love you so much but I need to admit to myself just as you have to admit to yourself that we can't force things and you have to do right by your pack. They need an heir to take after you and they need the United front a luna can bring by your side. Just as I'm doing my duty, it is
