Not Your Mate Anymore

Chapter 47.1: The Beginning Of The End

Josey's POV

"What if I turn them?" I ask looking at my mates. They were breathing heavily with their chest wounds still bleeding.

Arianna gasps as Hunter growls.

"I think we have enough hybrids in the werewolf world. You do understand that your children will be hybrids? Thus creating an entire new species without a realm to monitor it." Hunter says. The elder coughs and we all look at him.

"I don't mean to just insert myself in this conversation but I have to warn you. You are a deity, half celestial. Just like your mother, Kimberly.

Your mates are earthly beings so if you turn them into vampires, they will not be able to walk in the sun like you.” The elder says to me.

I can't lose my mates, how will I survive this life without them? Why did I take this awful mission!?

"No offence...No offence Babe, but I don't want to be a vampire.” Clayton says and a tear escapes my eye at his words.

"You are dying. If you die, I die! I can't have Chase without Clayton and I can't have Clayton without Chase. I need you both!" I say through sobs and frustration.

"I'd rather die than become a creature of the night. I am a proud lycan, I will die a proud one." Chase says to me and this surge of anger runs through me.

It was indeed coming from my vampire.

"You would rather leave me and die, leaving me to face this world alone and without your children to raise! I have to watch Elise raise her son to take over my pack. I would run around the world to be with you but you won't do the same for me." I say, defeated. My wolf was howling.

My heart was breaking.

"I know I brought this on our doorstep. I know this is partly my fault as it is my mother's, who has been quiet this whole time. I just want you, I need you here in this life with me. We still have so much to do and so much to face. This cannot be your end! I refuse." I say through sobs.

"Josey, no pack will follow a vampire leader. No pack will take in a vampire. You are different, you still walk in the day, seeming normal. Your mates won't have that at all." Cj says to me, his hand on my shoulder.

"Fine. Arianna save whoever, it's clear they don't want to live. They are grown men, they can decide for themselves but what I won't do, is sit here and watch one of them die." I say before leaving the room.

Mother follows me out and grabs my hand to stop me.

"Josey, I'm sorry. I know I have a lot to explain but it really is not that easy. I used that amulet on your father, to create the illusion of him being my mate. I can get inside people's heads but I can't create the mate bond like that. Only magic can do that and that's what I did. When we lived in human territory, I met your uncle Deacon. It was through him that I met your father, see Deacon is an alpha and a very loud and proud one, which could expose me so I could not date him but your father was just perfect. I know it sounds wrong but I did what I did to protect Sabrina. At that age, before I met your father or uncle, I was living in between earth and heavenly, where I met my true mate. Hunter did not waste time and before I

knew it, I was pregnant." Mother tells me.

"I thought you said you made him wait, friendzoned him." Sabrina says from behind us. We turn to face her.

"Yes but don't forget, a day on earth is ten years here. So I'd spend more time in the heavenly realm by just being gone for a day or two. Look all I'm saying is, I had to hide after people found out Hunter claimed me and your father was the perfect man for it. I do care about him but the mate bond was never real for me when I knew who my true mate was.” Mother tells us and Sabrina chuckles. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"What about dad? Did he not have a mate? Did you not care that he could've had a normal she wolf who would've stuck around long enough?"

Sabrina asks.

"At the time I did not care or even think about it." Mother says honestly, which surprised me.

"Your unapologetic behavior is the reason why shit is going to shit right now. You're the most selfish person I've ever known! Josey's life is messed up right now and if it wasn't for you, maybe just maybe this would not be happening. You were young and I get it. A young girl pregnant and alone, any help is great help and deciding to revisit the consequences tomorrow but tomorrow is here and you are not even trying to fix it.” Sabrina says to mother.

Sabrina turns around to walk back in the recovery room. We follow her back in.

"Who would die if I saved one of them?" Sabrina asks the elder.

"No Sab, you don't have to do this." I shout out.

"You care about these wolves because they are family, for life to have a balance with death, you'd have to lose someone who you care about.”

The elder says to Sabrina.

"Brina, you have a child to think about. A mate who has made you so happy.” Cj points out. I nod my head in agreement.

I don't want to lose my mates but Sabrina has already lost so much.

"What do we do then? Arianna is already saving Chase. Clayton can't die!" Sabrina says before her eyes bulge out.

"How long do I have before he dies?" Sabrina asks the elder.

"You have an hour, tops.” The elder responds and Sabrina runs out of the recovery room.

Sabrina's POV

"Cayden. Your sister was able to walk in the sun, why is that?" I ask looking at a very worried Cayden.

His sister was not healing so it was downward for her.

"That's because I turned her. If I turn someone into a vampire, they get my DNA. The ability to walk in the sun and more strength than the normal vampires you've come across. Please save my sister." Cayden says, his eyes pleading with me.

"I can save her if you save Josey's mates.” I say looking him dead in the eyes.

"I thought they were fine?" He says to me, smiling.

"It seems your hunters used silver.” I say grimly. Cayden chuckles then stops.

"If it was under different circumstances, I'd watch them die before taking Josey as mine but because I need my sister and it’s my fault she's in this position, I'll save them." Cayden says to me and I disappear and reappear with Josey, Hunter and Clayton in his arms.

Josey walks into Cherisse's cell which was right next to Cayden’s.

Cayden looks at me with his eyebrows raised.

"You try anything funny, Josey ends her." I say looking at him with a straight face. I fold my arms for that added effect.

“How will you heal her? She’s as good as dead!” Cayden says looking at his sister.

"Well she is already dead, just short of a spine. Right now she can't move her limbs but there's ways to fix that." Josey says with her arms folded.
