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 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

don't tell me that's your choice because it isn't! Someone will come and kill you, taking that choice away from your stubborn ass. You 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
