Not Your Mate Anymore
Chapter 50- You Decide

Sabrina's POV

"Don't be silly Arianna. Why would I allow my child to kill wolves?" Josey asks and Arianna turns to face Josey.

She moves back, bumping in to me.

"You might not be alive to stop it.” Arianna says and we all gasp.

"What are you saying babe?" Cj asks his mate, she turns to face him as tears fall on her face.

"I hope I'm wrong. Goddess I really hope the vision is wrong and can be changed.” Arianna pleads with Cj.

"Explain the part where you say Josey may not be alive?" I ask. Arianna turns to face Josey.

"Josey, you want to go explore this love story with Cayden and I understand that. Your vampire is in control now so that also makes sense but it all goes downhill for all of us if you walk away right now with that vile creature! He sends us all to our doom. Just as Sabrina couldn't bring your mates from death, she won't be able to save any of us from what is to come if you choose him. We all die, leaving her all alone with her son and you die first, at the hands of the heir he wants so badly.” Arianna warns. Josey chuckles as she shakes her head no.

"There is no way. Why would my own child kill me? Why would he kill his family?" Josey asks and Arianna looks away from all of us.

"You are aware you don't have a kingdom to rule? No vampire nation or community? Your son will watch Adrastos ascend to becoming king of all werewolves, making him the ruler, his ruler. He will be part wolf which will require him to abide by all wolf laws. Born a kings son but an heir to no kingdom. You will birth a narcissistic evil that will bring nightmares to our world.” Arianna says before fainting in CJ's arms.

We all look at each other as Evan walks in, who nods his head at Anthony and they place Josey in the cell with Cayden.

"Hey! Why am I in here?” Josey asks and I look at the two boys.

"At the moment, we can't trust you." Anthony says and Josey rolls her eyes.

"Can this place even hold me? I'm sure I could just." Josey says before trying to walk out but the barrier throws her back, forcing Jose to land on her buttocks.

"Why are you guys so against love? I'm trying to be with Cayden. Stop standing in the way of what is meant to be.” Josey says as she gets up.

My fathers walk in followed by mother. Christopher Trent looked better, he was himself again. Dressed well, buttoned up and cufflinks on. My dad was back or was he pretending?

"What is this I'm hearing? Josey is a vampire? Show me your wolf Josey." My father tells Josey who steps back from us.

Her eyes were still a bright red, her vampire still present.

"I can't do that right now.” Josey says and my father shakes his head in disappointment?

"You just lost your mates and now you already want to run off in to the sunset with the bozo that killed them? Over my dead body. Separate them and put her in a different cell. We will make sure her wolf grieves in peace without the interference of a vampire slum king. Your wolf will heal and she will bounce back, I did twice. No child of mine will be without their wolf, I won't allow it." Christopher says as Anthony and Evan grab an unconscious Cayden and move him to a different cell.

"Sabrina, what do we do now?" Hunter asks as he looks at Josey.

"Uh well I think we just leave her to her thoughts. I can feel her wolf's agony all the way here and she can't stand there and say she doesn't feel the pain. Let it drive her crazy, to remind her who she has lost.” I say before I turn around to walk out.

Everyone follows me as Josey shouts out.

"Are you kidding me!?" ...

"I need time to think. This is all too much and I honestly need to breathe. Let us meet up again in 3 days and hopefully Josey will be back to herself." I say before I disappeared, wanting to be in my mates arms.

"Uh oh... what happened now?" Xander asks me and I just throw myself in to his arms

"Clayton and Chase... we lost them. Their pack was attacked and they're dead. Josey already wants to jump in to bed with the vampire king and her mates aren't cold yet. She has fed so she takes blood now.” I say before burying my head in his neck.

"Hold on... say that again, slowly.” X tells me and I repeat what I just said.

"I want to cry but I don't have time for that. I need to figure out what I plan to do with this vampire and how I can reverse this vampire curse that is flowing in her veins. She's different and I don't know if I can accept her like this.” I say and Xander stays quiet.

"Arianna had a vision while she was up there.” I say.

"Is the war still happening?" Xander asks..

"Yeah apparently Josey will have a child with the vampire king and that child will the one to bring trouble at our door.” I say and Xander remains quiet.

We stay quiet for some time before mother barges in to Xander's office, followed by Hunter, father, Anthony and Cj.

"Sorry to just barge in but we don't have 3 days. We need to handle Josey right now." Father says to me. I open my mouth but close it right after.

"I've been asking this for some time now. How do we do that?" Anthony asks.

"Well, locking her up isn't the answer.” Mother says and I chuckle.

"Yes. We are not sure it is an ability you have as my mother struggled with it. She could not do it while she was alive and I need you to not get your hopes up.” He says as he makes his way closer to me.

"She's the one that saved me after Ethia killed me. I was dead and she said she would not allow it." I say folding my arms for that added effect.

"Oh?" Hunter says, shocked.

"Yeah. I met her and we had a chat. She saved me so clearly she finally figured out how to use it." I say and Hunter nods in agreement.

"You are thinking of bringing Clayton and Chase back, aren't ya?" Hunter asks me and I could not find the words so I nod my head yes.

"Well I won't stop you there. I don't know how it works but I know where it is done. Come with me.” Hunter says and walks past me, opening one of the many doors in the office. We walk in to the room, revealing a small pond. I don't even know if that's what they call it.

Glowing fish swam in the pond. It was actually very quiet and tranquil in this room.

"This is the room my mother used to talk to the spirits. To spend time with them and gain some insights on their wisdom and time on earth. Like me, she was from this realm so she could not really connect properly with the earthlings or understand anything they went through and this was her way of connecting with the earth so she can better help the ones still alive on earth.” Hunter tells me and I go down on my knees, palms resting on the ground and looking in to the pond.

"Sabrina, you need to know that sometimes you can't bring people back. Not everyone will be in this pond or needing a save. Sometimes you also have to deny the ones that did terrible things the chance at life again, you can't save everyone. You are the god here and even family members need to stay dead for life to run it's course. Understand?” Hunter says to me and I nod my head yes. "What do they call the fish?" I ask and Hunter chuckles.

"I don't see fish but that's because I'm not the goddess. The fish you see are lost souls, souls that have not passed on completely and ones that need your help to move on. There will be some that need you to deliver a message or help with something.” Hunter tells me.

I touch the water and immediately I'm pulled in. I feel like I'm floating, I could not open my eyes as the light was too blinding.

I took a minute to get used to the light and I was surrounded by it. Different light sources surrounded me and I reached out for one.

When I touched it, it turned in to human. An old woman, who looked stressed and worried.

As soon as she noticed that I could see her, she looked relieved.

"Oh luna! I know I am old and I have lived a long life but I was killed by rogues, leaving behind a three year old boy on his own. His parents abandoned him and I am all he has, I can't leave him. Not yet." She says to me. I touch her body and her whole life story comes to me.

I see the boy, little stuart she calls him. A happy chirpy boy who was still hiding in the closet of their house in the woods. He could not find the courage to get out even though it has been a few hours since the attack. He was sobbing, his body shivering.

I could smell his fear and if the rogues were still around, they would have caught his scent but then again, sometimes rogues take in children to raise. They turn them in to slaves to do their bidding. Something overcame me and left my body straight in to the old woman's body. A bright light formed around her, illuminating her to be even brighter.

She mouthed a thank you before there was nothing left of her. She was gone and then it hit me!

I had just returned her back to earth. She would be able to care for her adopted son once again and I was able to do that. That gave me enough courage to go through with this, I was able to save the twins.

I swam around looking for the twins. I touch a body and it wouldn't be either Clayton or Chase and I was losing it. I start to feel panic growing inside of me.

Had they accepted their fate? Did they truly believe that they had lived an eventful life and it was time to call it quits? No!

I couldn't accept that. They were young and had so much more to live for! Josey needs them, her wolf needs them.

It just can’t end like this.

After swimming for some time, I gave up. What was the point? I thought they would be here but to my disappointment, they weren't here. They had passed on to the other side, where peace waited for them.

It was weird, I could feel myself crying. I felt defeated, lost. I had lost this fight and my job as moon goddess hasn't even started yet. I wasn't initiated properly as yet and I have failed, dismally.

I began to swim up, hoping to get out of here and figure out a way pull my sister's wolf back and something touched my leg. I looked down and I touched the light, revealing Clayton.

His smile broke all the sadness, the dismay. I felt my insides cheer and feel happy. Boy was I happy to see this damn wolf!

"Clayton! Where is Chase?" I ask and he just smiles at me.

"So? Where is he?" I ask again and a light shines in front of me, touching it to reveal Chase.

"Hello Sabrina... I'm so glad to see you." Chase says before hugging me.

"Are you here to say goodbye? We need you to tell Josey we are sorry for not being strong enough to stay alive for her. We are so sorry we failed her but she must know we will watch over her and love her still, we will wait for her and she is free to start a new life. Her wolf needs to know this Sabrina.” Clayton says to me as Chase nods his head in agreement to what Clayton was saying.

"I can do you one better. I can bring you back! Josey's wolf is in distress and now her vampire has taken control, making hasty decisions that change everything. You both need to come back!" I say grabbing both their hands.

"We will only come back if Josey will have us. If she agrees to being with us then we will come back with you." Chase says and the shock hits me.

How was I going to convince a vampire Josey that I could bring her mates back from the dead? Would her wolf be able to take back control and agree to this?

"You both don't have enough time! I can't go up and down between you guys and Josey trying to play cupid here. My sister's wolf is dying and only you two can bring her back. There's no time to ask Josey to choose between you both or the vampire king. There isn't time for that!" I say losing my patience.

The twins disappeared from me and I was alone again. A hand made it's way inside the pond and I was pulled out of the pond, into Hunter's arms.

I broke down, tears falling. How would I convince... how was I supposed to..

"Dad, I don't.. I don't know what to do." I say through sobs as Hunter comforts me. I was a wet crying mess but Hunter's arms around me helped.

"What happened in there? You were gone forever! I thought you would drown and I remembered you are immortal.” He says and I let out a howl.

"I found them but they will only come back if Josey wants them to. How will I.. how will the new Josey react to this? I don't see a happy ending with this one.” I say..

"You'll never know unless you try. Go to Josey and try to connect with her wolf, if anyone can do it, it's you." Hunter says to me and I wipe the tears staining my face as I nod my head.

I stand up and make my way out, I stop at the door to look back at Hunter who was looking out in to the pond, lost in thought.

"Thank you, dad." I say before walking out. I leave him to his thoughts as I make my way to the cells, to Josey.

I find her still in her fetal position.

"Josey, get up." I say and she looks up at me but quickly looks down again to sob.

"Do you want to be with Cayden or the twins?" I ask and Josey rushes to be next to me, the barrier keeping us apart.

"I need to be with Cayden but I.. fuck! I hate feeling like this and I hate having a wolf. Her grieving is driving me insane. I only see memories with the twins and I can't take it!" Josey complains.

I roll my eyes at her before trying to connect with her wolf. I feel her faintly, barely.

She was weak, defeated.

'I have a way to bring the twins back to life. I can bring them back but that is up to you. You have to choose between Clayton and Chase or your vampire king." Athena says to Josey, trying to call out her wolf.

"I don't care for the twins! Just get me out of here so I can be with Cayden.” Josey says and I chuckle.

"You listen to me. You are a wolf first and I will not let you take control of Josey's strong wolf. I am calling out the celestial that is inside of you, the strong inner self. You are stronger than this and I need you to take control of your body once more, fight this earthly curse and take charge again. I will say it again, I can bring your mates back but I need you to tell me that I should bring them back. They will only agree to come back if you want them to, you are their only reason to live." I say.

I walk past the barrier and Josey looks around me. Shocked that I was able to get through, she chuckles.

"Ah moon goddess, all so powerful.” Josey jokes and I walk up to her.

"You got that right. I am the all so powerful and I have a sister in there that is powerful too. Yes the twins died but they are willing to come back and that's for you to decide.” I say looking at her.

I look straight in to her eyes,

"Come out.” I order her wolf. Her eyes started to change from red to black, back and forth they'd go.

A battle of power began as vampire and wolf were fighting for domination.

"Stop it!" Josey screamed, her hands balling in to fists before she started punching at her head.

A growl escaped Josey and I knew then that I was cracking her open.

"I will give you time to decide. You decide. You decide who you want, just know it is within my power to give you whoever you want, if you want the twins you are now aware that I can make that happen. Like I said, you decide.” I say before walking away.

Before I could walk up the stairs that lead out of the dungeons, I feel Josey's power. She releases all her power and I smile, my sister's wolf had won over that vampire and I could finally clean this mess up.

A growl reverberated throughout the room, confirming that she was indeed present.

'You tell them to come back to me. I will be waiting for them." Josey's wolf calls out and I spare Cayden a glance.

He was sitting on the bed, his eyes dark red. Anger written all over his face as he sneered at me. I smile, happiness spreading through me as I witness a win.

There was only one way to prevent the war from ever happening. Bring back the twins, have Xander win as the strongest alpha and finish this heavenly school shit. I have to be the moon goddess I am meant to be and this was my chance to start on a clean slate.

It was time to save my sister's mates and bring them back home.

What would happen to the vampire? Well, I don't see him living long enough to change Josey's mind. His dark twisted ways were at an end and I was going to end the vampire race, once and for all. 0000000000000000
