Chapter 75 Desiring His Mate
I never thought that I was going to like Xavia, after all the things we experienced together but ever since I came back from the meeting in the Lycan Pack and set my eyes on Xavia, I could not stop thinking about her. At first, I thought it was because she was now the Spirit Princess but I soon realized that I liked her. It was never supposed to happen. I was never supposed to like someone I rejected some months ago, but right now that is what is happening.
I was to meet up with the spy today. To avoid anyone being suspicious, I asked that he meet me in the garden. I sat in the garden waiting for him and when he finally showed up, I stood up.
"Hope you have enough information for me," I said and he nodded.
I have been curious to know how she got to the Lycan Pack. I could remember that Arden had told me she said she was never going to return to the Lycan Pack and for some reason, I suspected that she had a bad experience there, which I presumed to be worse than the one she experienced in the Ice Pack.
I knew that if she had wanted to leave the Ice Pack, the Lycan King would have helped her out but he never did.
"What news do you have for me?"
"After she left the Ice Pack, she headed to find her friend but fainted on the road where the Lycan King found her and took her to the Lycan Pack. She has since then, lived there. I heard she had returned to school, and..."
"Do you not have something interesting to tell me? Something that will..."
"She is getting married to the Lycan King at the end of the year," he said and I blinked.
"You said what?"
"She agreed to marry the Lycan King and her wedding with him..."
"I heard you correctly!" I yelled at him. "Why would she agree to marry him when she is my mate?" I muttered out loud. "Why..."
"I heard she is the Lycan King's mate," he said and I stared at him.
"She is whose mate?"
"The Lycan King mate"
"How is that possible? She is my mate!"
How can she be mated to two... I blinked. Is that even possible? Is it possible that she is mated to the Lycan King as well as me?
I brushed my hair backward. "Are you sure about this?"
He nodded. "Yes. I got the information from the right source"
I sighed. "When did that happen? I mean when did she find out that she is the Lycan King's mate?"
"Just a few weeks ago. I heard it was before she found out that she is the Spirit Princess"
Did the Lycan King find out that she is the Spirit Princess and then lied that she is mated to him? I thought.
I shrugged off the thought immediately. The Lycan King is not the type to play such a trick. Though I do not know much about him and I had not spent much time with him, I could tell from our little meetings that he isn't that kind of person.
But how is that possible? I wondered. How is she mated to two Alphas?
I groaned. With the Lycan King involved do I have a chance to get her back? I wondered. I might have to try my best to get her back because she was mated to me first and she loves me. I saw it in her eyes when she saw me the day we met.
"Any more information you would like to share?"
"No, I do not have..."
"You can leave" I muttered.

I had been thinking about what to do about getting Xavia back. The more I thought about it the more I desired her. I had not felt like this for anyone before. I had sleepless nights thinking about her and I could hardly focus at work. I thought about speaking to my mom about it but after much thinking, I decided against it. My mom would blame me for leaving her in the first place.
Arden was not an option too because I know he would be against me taking Xavia back.
"She now belongs to Axel, back off!" he would tell me. "I am still going to warn you. Stay away from her"
I knew I was no match for the Lycan King and taking Xavia back from him would be nearly impossible.
She still loves me. I kept telling myself. If I can get closer to her, I can show her how much I desire her and she will come back to me.
All I needed was to find a way to get to talk to her, which was also nearly impossible. The spy had told me that she hardly left the Lycan Pack, so meeting with her outside the Pack would be impossible.
Is there a way to get her to leave the Lycan Pack? I wondered.
"There should be a way to make her leave the Lycan Pack," I told the spy. "You have to dig deep"
He nodded. "I will go back and find a way"
"Do, and I will reward you greatly. How long should I give you?" I asked. "You know I do not have much time"
"Give me a few days. I will not disappoint you"
After he left, I returned to my room to meet my mom.
"Mom? What are you doing here? You never told me you were coming"
"Where are you coming from?"
"The garden" I answered.
"You have been visiting the garden lately. Is there something you kept there?"
"I did not keep anything in the garden"
"Then why do you keep visiting it?"
"Mom, the garden belongs to me. I can visit it whenever I want"
She scoffed. "Gilbert, we both know that you hardly visit the garden. How can you suddenly begin to visit the same garden you do not visit frequently? Gilbert what are you up to?"
"Mom, I do not know why you are not believing me. I..."
"I cannot believe you, Gilbert. You have never given me a reason to believe you"
I sighed. "Mom, I do not have anything hidden in the garden. I only visited the garden to think"
"Think about what?"
"There is a lot to think about, mom. I..."
She sighed. "It's difficult to believe that someone like you will have the time to think, Gilbert". I groaned slightly but said nothing. I knew there was no way to make her believe me. "What is your plan now that your rejected mate has a new mate" my mom asked and I blinked.
"You knew about it. I mean you knew that Xavia had a new mate"
She scoffed. "Who doesn't know that? Who doesn't know that she is the Lycan King's mate and they will be getting married by the end of this year"
I groaned. "I..."
"I know you do not care about it. But can you at least care about the welfare of the Pack members and consider getting married again "
"I am not getting married again" I answered and she furrowed her brows.
"You said what?"
"I said I am not getting..."
"I heard you" she snapped. "I heard you loud and clear but I am sure you are joking about it"
"I am not joking Mom. I..."
"You are joking, Gilbert. You are"
"I am not, mom. Why should I get married again?"
"Why should you not?" she asked, glaring at me. "Or do you have a plan to take Kate back? Are you going to ask for her forgiveness and take her back?"
"I am not doing that"
"Then what is your plan?" she asked. "Tell me, what do you plan to do?"
I sighed. "Mom, I..."
"I do not care what your plans are. I do not care what you think. If you do not ask Kate for forgiveness, then be ready to take a new wife" she said standing up. "I will give you just a few weeks. Take Kate back or find yourself a new wife. If you don't, I will bring you a new wife and you dare not maltreat her" she said, walking to the door.
"What if I bring back Xavia?" I asked and she turned to face me.
"What did you say?"
"I said I want to bring back Xavia. I..."
She busted into laughter. "You are joking right?"
"I am not joking" I answered and she stopped laughing.
"Yo-you are not joking?"
"Yes, mom. I am not"
She scoffed. "Are you listening to yourself at all? You want to do what. Bring back Xavia that now belongs to someone else? What made you change your mind? I thought you never wanted her?". She moved closer to me. "Did you now desire her because she is the Spirit Princess?" she asked but I said nothing. She scoffed. "I know you, Gilbert. You do not desire something or someone with no value"
I groaned. "Mom, what do you..."
"You are selfish, Gilbert. You are!!! How dare you desire someone who was maltreated by you? Have you forgotten so soon how badly you maltreated her?"
I sighed. "You do not deserve her, Gilbert so wake up from your sleep. Wake up from your slumber and face reality!!! That girl will never belong to you!!! Never!!!"
She stormed out of my room and I sighed.
Do I not deserve her like my mother said?

Arden was to visit the Lycan Pack and I asked to go with him. And though Arden wasn't talking to me, he never said no, so I took that as a yes. The reason I wanted to go to the Lycan Pack was to see Xavia. I heard that she now works in one of the gold companies as the Lycan King's assistant. It was also to find a way to make her leave the Pack and if I can't, I can at least find a way to speak to her. I knew that might be impossible, but I was willing to give it a try.
"Gilbert, I hope you are not going to the Lycan Pack because of Xavia," my mom said.
"Mom, what do you take me for?" I asked and she scoffed.
"Gilbert, I know you. I know what you can do. I will advise you not to do anything stupid"
I sighed. "I am not going to the Lycan Pack to see Xavia"
"Gilbert, I know you are. You do not have any reason to visit the Lycan Pack because we both know that you do not have any interest in the Lycan Pack and you do not visit places that have nothing that interest you"
"Fine. I am going to see her but I do not have bad intentions"
She sighed. "I hope you are telling the truth"
"Of course, I am" I answered and she scoffed.
