*Allen's POV*
I am enchanted by this girl. I know she isn't my mate, but something about her has me drawn to her. This is why I contacted the witch. I want to break her mate bond. I don't want her to forget about meeting her mate, I just want the mate bond broken so I have a real chance with her. I want to be with her, at least until I find my mate. Then I will release her to her mate. This morning was nice. I gave her release and pleasure that she wanted, but I couldn't bring myself to go any further without her being in her right mind and wanting it because she likes me. Bringing her into the office the witch is already waiting. I sit her in the seat in my office and nod approvingly when the witch asks her for permission. Once she blacks out, I catch her, so she doesn’t fall out of the chair. I lay her down on the couch in the office while the witch does what she needs to.
The witch looks at me. "You know this won't prevent the mate bond. If she sees her mate again, she will bond with him again. It will just be like she never got that feeling but she will still remember the time she spent with him and the feelings she had with him, she just won't think he was her mate until she meets him again."
"I know, but I just want her to have complete free will and want to enjoy my time with her." I tell her.
"Okay." She says matter of fact.
She stands beside Leah and chants under her breathe. Soon she straightens her back and turns to look at me. "It is done. She shall wake up within the next few minutes. I’ll take my leave now."
I notice Leah is waking up, so I help her to sit up. I hold her to me while she takes in her surroundings.
Finally, she speaks. "Allen? What happened?"
"The witch just poked around a little in your head, it's okay. I got you." I say to her
She leans into me and completely relaxes against me. "I am really tired and would like to go to sleep if you don't mind."
I pick her up and carry her to my room. "I don't mind at all darling."
Something about her is luring me in. I don't understand it. I have been with plenty of girls and have had plenty of girls but something about her is different. I lay her down on my bed and soon she is sound asleep. I stare for a few minutes and my wolf rises to the front of my head. I hear my wolf scream MATE in my head. Confusion hits me. How can she by my mate when she has a mate and doesn't feel the same? I must speak to my grandfather. He would know more than my father. I take another look at Leah before closing the door and heading to my grandfather’s house. He is outside in his garden when I pull up. Getting out of the car I walk over to him.
"Hey grandpa. I have to talk to you about something." I say to him.
Looking at me questioningly, "Ask away."
"My wolf calling the new slave in my house my mate, but I know I am not hers. How is this possible?"
"I have not heard of this but in a few cases. It is very rare. Your wolf doesn’t lie to you. As wolves we only get two mates in our life. And we don’t usually meet the second one until our first one dies, or you get rejected. She must be your mate. But you must be her second chance mate and she won’t ever know that unless something happens to her first mate. It is very rare for this to happen."
"What if I had a witch break her mate bond with her first mate?" I say curiously.
"Has she looked at you in the eyes yet? That's the only way you will know if she reciprocates you being her mate. I don't dabble in magic, so I don't know how that works. I guess time will tell."
Now I am anxious to get back to her and find out if our wolves will connect. What will happen if they do? Her Alpha mate will come looking for her, I know that. When she sees him if we are both her mates she will have to choose. Both of us have made past mistakes and are not trying to repent for them. I just want to make her happy and if she decided to go with him, I will let her. I know if she goes, I will eventually find my other mate and I will go searching.
Getting back to my house she is still sound asleep. I stand in the doorway just watching her sleep. I never thought I could feel this way for someone. It makes me regret every wrongdoing I have ever done. I go in search for Tabatha. I find her cleaning in the kitchen and when I find her, she immediately bows her head at me.
I raise her chin and look her in the eyes. "Tabby, I hereby release you as my slave."
Her mouth drops open and she stares for a second before responding. "Thank you so much Alpha."
She turns on her heels to leave and I know I need to go find Shelby, the slave I have used for s*x. I find her in her room, and she comes and throws her arms around me. I don't know why I even call her my slave. She has been after me since she was brought into the house and seduced me the first time we met. Her and I have just played cat and mouse since she came into the house.
I remove her arms from around me and look her in the eyes. "I hereby release you as my slave."
She gives me a questioning look. "What? Why?"
"I have found my mate."
Her eyes fill with tears. "I have nowhere to go. I love you."
"You need to go in search for your mate. I will help you by giving you a car to find them, but you have a mate out there somewhere." I say to her reassuringly.
After that she leaves, taking one more look back at me before walking out the door.
I go back into my room and close the door behind me. Closing the door causes Leah to wake up. She turns around in the bed and blinks her eyes. She makes eye contact with me and all she says is "Mate".
