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.

Because it seems to me you are more concerned about the other Male wolf you are mated to, forgetting about me. I'm suffering here and sure, maybe he's having a hard

as hard for me as it is for you and for your earthling mate. Be considerate

for that man until I heal because that's how I feel. Everyone needs to think of me for once. You're hurting, he is hurting but you're both forgetting that this is affecting me too and as much as I might be jumping from one mate to another, I am hurting. Thus is no fun for me and I've had it rough for a very long time. Xander was my 2 seconds of peace

were even mates.

even when I didn't deserve it, like today he showed me love again by rejecting his gifted mate and telling me I'm the one for him. 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." I say before trying to

I had to do it and I would do it again. You know why?" I ask

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,

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, it hurts so much to have to let you go so please, don't make me mourn

words how all of this is breaking me. I'm in turmoil and I can't even sit down to 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
