Not Your Mate Anymore
Chapter 23 Make It Go Away

*Imprint* - When a wolf takes a liking on another and they sink their claws in the wolf to stake their claim. It is almost as marking but the claw mark heals but for that brief moment the two wolves are connected like mates.*

I was frozen in place. If I was really going in to heat then I was in trouble. Max would soon find out and his wolf will be restless until he finds me.

Knowing Max, he probably still thought of me as his. There had to be a way to get rid of this heat. "Is there a way I can stop this from happening? Do you have a witch in your pack?” I ask looking up in to Xander's eyes.

"Well yes. You will have to do the deed until your wolf is satiated and no, we don't do witches. You're about as close to a witch as I'll ever get." He says to me and I feel my body drain of all energy.

"He can't find out. If I go into heat, he will feel it and his wolf will have him search everywhere for me." I say and he nods like he understands.

"That he will do. Look, theres only one way around this and that's by having sex. It is the way of the wolf. I suggest you stay in your apartment for the rest of the week." He says to me and I nod in agreement.

I begin to walk back to the pack house and Xander silently follows behind. This explains why I found Xander so irresistible. I mean I was acting a fool not so long ago.

"You know I wasn't paying attention before but now it is stronger. You are definitely in heat.” He says and I start to panic. If he can't resist my scent then his wolf will take me right now in this forest and I think I'll let him.

It's not like I was running fast when Xander tackled me. I wanted him to catch me.

"Calm down. I won't do anything to you. Except in my head.” He says and I stop to turn and glare at him.

"You're taunting me.." I say and he laughs at me.

"And you're not? I mean your scent is very inviting. Can't blame the poor wolf for trying even if it's just to tease.” He says as he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. He sniffs my bottom and growls.

"Oh Sabrina, if I didn't have to save you from my pack members, I'd try to take you right here, right now." Xander says and I start kicking and screaming.

"Put me down right now Xander!" I say and he spanks my butt.

"That's for not calling me alpha." He says before I could ask and I scoff at him.

He spanks me again and a moan escapes my lips, which earns me another spanking. I'm so lost in the feeling, when he puts me down and I realised we were on my floor, I blushed.

"I see you like it rough..." He says to me with a full out smirk that I want to so badly remove by smashing my lips with his and having his tongue wrestle with mine.

I lick my lips at the thought of his lips on mine and he doesn't miss that action. He moves closer to me as I move back until I hit my back on the door. He rests his arms on each side of my head on the door and growls lowly.

"Lick your lips again..." He orders me and I do it. He didn't even use his alpha tone and yet I obeyed like a sex starved freak.

"What is going on in that head of yours?" He asks me with that husky voice again.

"I'm imagining you naked. I'm also thinking about how good it would feel to smash your lips with mine.” I say and he raises his eyebrow at me.

Clearly taken back by my boldness.

"I'm also thinking about our little moment in the woods and how you pressed yourself on to me. You standing here shirtless and in sweats that show the outline of your manhood isn't helping.” I say as I brush my hand briefly past his hardness.

He hisses at my contact but then pulls away from me.

"Get inside Sabrina. If we keep going like this, your grandfather will have to kill me because I won't be able to stop myself." He says and I shudder at the thought of him taking me right here.

He turns around and walks away. I stay glued just outside my door until I see a a Male wolf walking up the stairs with his nose up in the air like he's trying to follow a scent. His head turns in my direction and I quickly open my door and shut it.

My grandfather looks at me funny.

"Heat." I say and Dorothy comes running out of my room to lock the door behind me.

"You are not to leave this apartment Sabrina, do you understand me?" My grandfather says and I nod my head.

"Yes the alpha sent me back here. I'll be in my room with Adrastos if anyone needs me." I say but Dorothy and my grandfather share a look.

"Let me look after your son until this heat is dealt with. Trust me, you'll be in so much uhm, you won't have the energy for a newborn baby.” Dorothy says as she walks with me to my bedroom and starts packing a bag for the baby.

"Dorothy,why are you packing a bag?" I ask her.

"I figured it would be best if I took the baby with me. I promise to look after him. I will take the baby monitors with me so you can check in when you get the chance.” She says to me and fall back on my bed.

"Is it really that bad?" I ask her and she nods at me.

"Oh yes. I suggest you take a bath and get some sleep, when it hits you, it will hit you and you won't be getting any sleep.” She says. I place Adrastos in Dorothy's arms after giving him a million kisses as my grandfather walks in to help her with the bags.

"I'll also be leaving today little moon. It seems your nana is back and she wants to fix things.” He says and I look at him suspiciously.

"..And before you say anything, please remember that she is my mate and I still love her." He says while pulling me in for a hug and planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Lock all your doors after Margot gets here. Your powers won't heal you on this. You might still have your strength so if any men try their luck, you kick their asses!" He says and walks out of my room. Just great.

"His wolf didn't exactly reject you and that's why I gave my suggestion. " she says.

I sit back down on the couch and run my hand through my hair.

"Look, you probably have a few hours before it gets unbearable so take that time to think about it." She says. She places some pain meds on the coffee table and gets up to leave.

"Wait!" I say and she turns to me

"Can I take some contraception just in case I give in to these desires?" I ask her and she smiles. "Your body will reject it. If you do give in to those desires, remember to have the guy pull out in time.” She tells me but stops herself at the door.

"That will only give temporary relief though and will require more from the Male. It's still a mystery but even science can't figure out how the body knows the Male completed the mating inside the female. It's one of those things I just can't figure out.” She says to me.

"Maybe I'll ask the moon goddess?" I say and she cackles at me.

"Good luck getting an answer." And she walks out and locking the door.

I decided to go take a shower and try sleep this horny feeling off. I walked into Xander's bathroom and I immediately fell in love. The shower could fit 10 and his bathtub was big enough for some cuddles. I got in the shower and remembered how I didn't bring any of my toiletries.

I had to use Xander's shower gel. His shampoo. His conditioner.

When got out, I had to use his body lotion.

Gosh I smelled like the man and it wasn't helping my problem.

I didn't have anything to wear but since I was all alone, I decided to sleep naked.

I felt hot. Really hot.

I got in to his king size bed of black soft sheets and tried to sleep.

Tried.

His scent was all over these sheets. I could smell him on me. I kept tossing and turning for what felt like hours, I finally gave in and decided to touch myself.

I tried thinking about Max but Athena was having none of it and kept throwing in her fantasies with Xander. The things he could do to me in this bed and that's when I lost it.

My one hand squeezing my left boob, as my right hand played with my lady parts. The thought of Xander dominating me on this bed. Ordering me around as my dom. His hand around my neck as he rams into me with insane force.

I feel a hunger so intense take over. A fire erupted in my body like a volcano and spread all over me. I was burning up with so much desire. Right now, I wanted relief and I want it now.

I threw off Xander's thin sheets and quickly stood up to run to the shower to cool off. A quick knock and the sound of the door opening had me freeze in place. The thought of a Male walking in here had me excited and also scared. I knew my body would deceive me the minute a Male stepped in to my view.

Myrtle appeared at the door holding out my phone.

"Your brother called.. he says that it is important and you need to call him back.” She says to me but l ignore her and turn around to walk in the bathroom.

I jump in the shower and let the cool water cascade over me and I feel my body begin to cool down. The desire still there but my body wasn't burning up. I got out of the shower, dried myself and walked out of the bathroom naked again to find Myrtle sitting on Xander's bed.

She sees me come out and she stands up and hands my phone over to me.

"Your brother keeps calling. He says it's about Max." Myrtle said to me and my eyes bulge out.

"Oh shit why didn't you say so in the first place?!" I say to her as I dial my brothers number and wait for him to answer.

"Sabrina, you're in heat and Max is trying to find you. More like his wolf is. You know very well that your wolf will eventually call out to him and if she does, he will find you.” He says to me.

"What are you trying to say Cj?" I ask but I already knew the answer. It's like what the doctor said. "Unless you want him to find you, I suggest you find a decent wolf and end this. He's a threat to Adrastos Sabrina, he cannot find him." He says to me.

Guilt washes over me. I was so hell bent on not sleeping with anyone when I totally disregarded the fact that right now, Max could easily find me with our souls still bound to each other until we are both marked by another.

"You remember in school, how they would tell us about mates finding a way to each other through an invisible string that just pulls them together? That string is real and will lead Max to you.” Cj says to me. I remain quiet.

"I'm sorry Sabrina but that's the way it is. I know this will be hard for you to deal with afterwards but you didn't run away, didn't just change your identity just to have him find you in a matter of days and threaten the life of your son once again.” Cj says and I still remain silent.

"You don't have much time but think about it. I'm so sorry this is happening to you.” He says and then the line goes dead.

I look up to Myrtle who gently grabs my hand and leads me to sit down on the bed.

"Look, I couldn't help but overhear. If you really don't want him to find you, you'll have to give in to the heat. Your scent has already wafted through this entire pack house, I believe by nightfall, our Male wolves will be going berserk with it." She says and I blink a few times to let what she just said sink in.

"You could smell my arousal?" I ask and she shakes her head no.

"No but Lucas could when we were in the kitchen. He told me and then ran out.” She tells me. Would I be able to do this? I mean yes I probably will but how will I feel after? I'd probably hate myself. I'd want to scrub myself clean.

So much for sacred law. My son isn't even a month old and I'm already on to the next alpha. I chuckle.

I'm a little hard on myself but with reason. When I gave myself to Max, I meant for life. I gave him all of me. He was my chosen mate so he would be the only man I'd ever be with.

"This is a nightmare. I know what I have to do but it will also ruin me." I say more to myself than at Myrtle.

"I'm sorry Sabrina. I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through." Myrtle tries to comfort me but it was no use.

"It's test after test. I can never catch a break. Just when I thought I would be free of Max, at least even for just a few months, a day doesn't even go by. I'm constantly at war with someone or something.” I say and I was tired.

If I wasn't playing the hero to a pack, I was being a good mate even when they were undeserving. Now I had to make a decision. It was already made to be honest but Myrtle didn't know that. If I do it, I can't turn back. There is literally no turning back.

"Please get Xander for me." I say and Myrtle's eyes bulge out at the mention of her alpha.

"I thought...well. I thought you weren't together?’ Myrtle asks.

"We're not but my body seems to desire him more. Before it gets out of control and I have males trying to break the door down. Before I end up sleeping with a mated wolf and have the entire female population hate me, I'll take Xander." I say.

"But he's with Jade..well. You know what I mean.” She says and I shrug.

"She already hates me and besides, they are not mated. Jade's mate is somewhere and when she meets him, she will quickly forget about her little infatuation with The Alpha.” I say and Myrtle stays quiet.

I'm being judged already.

I stand up and quickly put my clothes on. Myrtle, still seated but watching my every move. I walk out of the bedroom once I'm fully dressed and little miss judgey follows me. I open the door to walk out,

"Wait! Do you think it is safe for you to be out?" Myrtle asked me.

"Well it seems I will have to get Xander myself and anyway, like you said, my scent is all over the pack house.” I say and turn around quickly.

I quickly walk down the stairs, shewolves watching me and I open the door to see Xander and Lucas holding down a man. All the males watching.

They immediately freeze. Every Male standing outside right now sniffed the air and looked right at me. Clear hunger in their eyes as I took them all in.

Before they could all come running at me, I had roots come out from the ground and wrap around their ankles except for Xander. I looked at him as he was standing in place.

He looked around him and then at his own feet, then back at me. We stood there just looking at each other. He was probably trying to figure out what I was doing and I was hoping he'd get the point. He wasn't held against his will.

It finally hit me that he wanted me to say it. He would help me, he was probably dying from insane lust anyway but he wanted me to be sure about it. Goddess I wasn't sure. I just knew I didn't want Max finding my boy.

"I need you.." I said in a whisper but he heard me.

One man was able to break the roots and started to run towards me but Xander caught on and ran too.

The man was too close and Xander wasn't too far away but the man was close.

Xander let out a ferocious, fearsome and oh so hot roar at the man. Who stopped running and showed his side of the neck in submission.

I was so turned on at this point. Xander got to me and stopped right in front of me,

"Are you sure?" He asked me and I didn't want to talk so I nodded my head, turned around and led him up the stairs to his apartment. I didn't want to look back or else I'd change my mind.

We got to his door to find Myrtle and Jade talking in hushed whispers but then stopped when we approached them.

Jade blocked the door and Xander growled.

"What is this alpha? You replacing me with the new whore already?" Jade asks and I was somewhat glad she picked a fight with Xander and not me.

Although I don't like to be called such degrading names. I guess it was fitting right now though.

"It isn't replacing you if we were never exclusive. I've slept with other women and you've never acted like this.” Xander said.

"Oh I did! Just not at you." Jade said and Xander chuckled.

"I don't have time for this. Move out o of the way." Xander said in his alpha tone and Jade had no choice but to obey. He let me in before taking his room key from Myrtle and locking us in

I didn't wait for him but walked straight to his bedroom and got naked.

When he walked in, he froze at my naked form before walking up to me.

"Want to get this over with? I like to take my time Sabrina. I was hoping to undress you myself." He says.

"Either you get naked right now or I'm breaking your door down and going to find another man to give me relief." I say with a stern voice.

He growled at my comment, which sent my body in to that burning hot hunger. Xander's eyes changed to his wolf's as he grabbed me by the neck and had his claws sink in to my neck.

A loud moan left my mouth as tingles erupted in my body. In that moment I only wanted Xander. I was his completely.

"You are mine now. I will explore every part of you and I will take my time but don't worry your pretty self, you're going to love it." He said to me in that husky voice again and I was a complete wet mess!

"You imprinted..." I say to him before his lips came crashing down on mine.
