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'm trying to do! You think I gave Xander a mate just for fun? We are done. We broke up, it's over for us and I just wanted to give him hope again. Give him the mate that was gifted to him and I meant well, I am considering your feelings. I'm finally respecting this sacred law and doing what's right but my plan went up in flames and I have every right to be hurting right now, okay? I can cry for Xander if I want to and for what we had. He was good to me, better than good so I will cry for that man

It hurts okay and I can't just switch it off so excuse me while I 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."
