Be My Mate novel Chapter 12

Sabrina's POV

The thought of running in to Xander right now was making me sweat. What would I do? What would I say? How would I react to him being with the girl I chose for him?

"Good day. I've been instructed to ask you all to follow me." Saved by a big tall lycan.

We all follow him, as everyone looks around, I avoid it. The faster we get out of this room, the better. I just don't trust myself right now...

Baby girl might just act a fool creating a cringeworthy memory that will forever haunt me. Nobody wants that.

We walk out of the big hall with so many people, the chatter and laughter dying down as the double doors close behind us. We follow big tall lycan for a few more minutes, my head still wrapped up in Xander's scent that I failed to remember how far we have been walking but Arianna's face came in to view, my feet already aching from all that walking.

"Oh thank the goddess!" Uttered Arianna. We all exchanged looks before  stopping right in front of the future queen.

"We have received multiple threats. People might look happy and all in that room but there are people unhappy with the new king. Firstly, they say he is not of alpha blood and secondly, they believe he is too young to take the crown. Your brother is in there devising a plan with your father but I had to bring you all for that extra set of eyes and strength." Arianna says and the worry creeps in again.

I was right to worry about Cj.

"Let's get planning then." Hunter says before opening the door and walking in. We all follow him in, with Arianna as the last to walk in and close the door.

"Hey everyone. My mate have you all worried?" Cj says trying to look calm but I saw right through him. Fear of not knowing who was coming for you was something one can't really hide.

"No. We were already worried." Mother says as she pulls Cj in for a hug.

"Now, there is no way we can know who will try to attack my son and we can't all surround him the entire time." My father, Christopher senior says.

"No. We won't be able to tell but we will be close by. If anyone throws a weapon, Josey is fast enough to catch it or move Cj out of the way, also seeing who the culprit was. Sabrina will get a feel for the room once Cj makes his entrance, it will take time but auras don't lie. We have myself and my son Anthony to act as the muscle if needed." Hunter suggests.

The room remains quiet for some time while everyone thinks.

"Arianna, can we not do the thing you did when you hid Sabrina away from that big bad witch? Like disguise Anthony as Cj and Cj as Anthony. It will take a whole lot to kill Anthony. Just for the crowning, where we won't be able to surround Cj. Once he is crowned, they can each go back to themselves." Josey suggests and everyone nods in approval.

"That's genius but the councilmen will need to cut CJ's hand and take his blood. It won't work." Arianna says.

The room falls silent again.

"Then we go out there and get my brother crowned. Look, we don't know who will try to kill you Cj but we are here. We can't surround you but we will be close and if anyone tries anything, we will kill them. They are messing with the wrong family and they will soon learn of us." I say squeezing CJ's shoulder.

"Twin is right. We have the moon goddess, the hybrid, the first son and the werewolf king. If that does not scream power, I don't know what will." Anthony says with his chest raised.

We all nod just in time for the door to open and for Percy to remind CJ that it was time.

"The family can all walk together but CJ will be the last to walk in." Percy says before leaving us.

"Okay. When we all walk in, release your powers for intimidation and assurance of who we are. Cj, I will amplify your power when you walk in to be of a bigger intimidation. It will take a lot for an alpha to cowar away but this is a start." I say and everyone nods in agreement.

We all walk out of the room, followed by four guards. Stopping at the double doors, a guard asks us to stand in line as we will all be called in one by one.

"Introducing the Trent family. We will start with the head, the man that raised and trained our future king, Christopher Trent." They announce and the doors open, guards moving out of the way to let father in.

We watch as he ascends to the the big stage.

"Next we have the matriarch of the family. The queen mother, Kimberely." They announce. Mother walking in with her head held high as she releases her power. We hear loud gasps as people are taken by surprise by her strength.

Oh this gets better.

"Next we have Hunter, of the first family." The announcer says in confusion making us giggle. Dude had no idea what that meant.

Hunter releases his power as he walks in, forcing the wolves inside everyone in that room to kneel. Some tried to fight it but failed miserably as their wolves forced them to the ground.

That's my father!

"We have the siblings, starting from the youngest to oldest. We have Josey Trent. Who was born a few years before our king." He says as Josey releases her power walking in.

People's eyes remain bulged out, even though Josey's power isn't as great as Hunter's, it's damn intimidating. Especially for a young woman.

"Next we have the twins, Anthony and Sabrina." He announces. Anthony walks in first releasing his power which has everyone back on their knees. He winks at me, probably gloating at the fact that they called his name first.

I walk in right after, releasing my power and aura completely. Athena right at the front as she shows her goddess presence through my eyes. People weren't just on their knees now, they were bowing their heads to show respect. The whole room was quiet and Athena was happy at the show of respect, it made her all giddy inside.

I make it to the stage and reel in my power. Everyone relaxes as they stand up, the announcer included.

"You are in every bit Hunter's child." My mother says and I smile. That is true, we were a bunch of show offs, weren't we?...

"Introducing the first king and queen of the werewolf community, Christopher and Arianna Trent." He says, the double doors opening but nobody walking in. Josey hisses before running out in vampire speed to the door.

We all follow her.

Running down the stage in high heels and a long dress proved to be damn near impossible. It was slowing me down but with mother behind me, I'd say I wasn't the only one.

On the floor was Cj, bleeding profusely.

"What happened?" Mother asks as she rushes to Arianna's side, falling to her knees to inspect CJ's wounds.

"The guards. They just attacked out of nowhere, catching us off guard. I reacted as soon as realised what they were doing but it was too late, he is hurt." Arianna says through sobs.

"Oh move over. If this is the worst they can do, then easy shits." I say before laying my hands on Cj to heal him.

"No brother of mine will die on my account." I say before I feel that he is all healed.

I stand up, dress covered in blood and my hands but I pay it no mind. I help my brother up, who looked far worse than he felt with his uniform torn, well the pants were still intact.

"Just go in shirtless. We are werewolves anyway." I say making everyone chuckle. Hunter walks in before us and marches straight to the stage.

"You want to kill your new king? You will have to go through all of us and let me tell you, you won't survive it." Hunter growls out. Anger flowing out of him..

"I will not have a beta as a king! He is no king I will follow." One alpha shouts out.

"The beta beat you fair and square at the trials." Hunter responds.

"Many of us agree that he can't be king. We didn't come here to bow down to him, we came here to kill him." The guy says as other alphas join him.

"I would love to see you try." Josey says to him.

Within seconds the aura in the hall shifted. Complete animosity filled the room, everyone was an enemy now which made me question if Xander was on our side.

"You can all move aside and let us kill this beta blood or you will all have to go through us." The alpha said, making Anthony and I chuckle.

"You think that scares them?" A voice said from behind the alphas.

The people move out of the way for the guy who said that. Minutes pass before we see who said those words and the guy making us all wait in anticipation, is none other, than uncle Deacon.

"You see, over there on that stage is your worst nightmare. There's one immortal little girl there with the strength of a thousand wolves. I mean how can something so tiny have so much strength? Then we have a werewolf slash vampire, ooh nobody wants that. I mean have you ever fought a vampire? Because those fast little cold buggers are vicious! I don't know about you, but I came here for the king and to drink. I want no part of that action, you can be stupid on your own." Uncle Deacon says before grabbing a drink from the waiters walking around.
