Not Your Mate Anymore novel Chapter 34

 

I looked around me, everyone looking at me different. 

'She's the new moon goddess?' 

'How is she so powerful?' 

'We shouldn't have turned our backs on her. If she's really the new moon goddess then she'll definitely make us pay for what we put her through.' 

I could hear voices but when I look around from where the sounds were coming from, the lips weren't moving. 

Oh goddess! 

I could hear their thoughts. I could look in to their minds without touching them. Panic started to rise inside me, I need to get away from everyone. 

Xander walked up to me but I took a few steps back. 

My heart was beating way too fast. My skin was burning. I felt like the first night I was going to shift for the first time and I didn't want to hurt Xander. 

I could feel Athena, feel her differently. We were one but we were also separate souls. It was like this new power drove us apart but brought us together to be stronger than ever. Athena had a mind of her own, she wasn't sitting in the back of my mind just minding her business. 

It was like she was in her own world. Her connection to all the wolves surrounding me took a new turn. We could feel their emotions, their needs. I could sense their uneasiness, some still hate me but my power was holding them back from challenging me. My power alone making them want to bow down to me. 

I look at Max. 

He's staring right back at me, his wolf wanting to calm me down but Athena wanting none of it.

We belonged to Xander. 

Xander... 

That snaps me out of my thoughts and I look back at X. He's still looking at me with his hands in his pockets. 

I walk up to him and hug him. He hugs me back and the tears fall down my face. I almost lost him, I almost lost the man that loves me truly. 

I start sobbing uncontrollably and his hold on me tightens. I was angry at my nana for thinking she could get away with killing the one I love. For thinking she could also harm my son. 

My anger wasn't helping Athena. All she wanted was to kill everyone that hurt us. With this new found power, I wanted them to pay but I had no idea how to get to the moon and start with that moon goddess. 

I was mad all over again. I was mad at Percy for being a complete idiot and toying with sacred law. It was written that he was to mate with me but he let earthly things get in the way of our oldest law. 

Sex was an intimate thing to be shared with a mate and he just slept with Ralyn. Then Max, sleeping with another when he was still mated to me. 

I'm angry that Max tried to hurt me by sleeping with someone else. I am angry he took on two mates and went unpunished! 

Xander pulled away from me. I could feel that his wolf was feeling uneasy being this close to me and my new anger wasn't helping. I stepped back from him as my body started to tremble. 

Athena was trembling too. The anger was all too much but it was waking up a soul deep inside me that wanted to punish everyone that disobeyed wolf law. 

The councilman that passed Max's new law. What are we? Humans? 

We don't change pack laws for selfish gains. They are in place for that very reason! The councilman need to explain to me why they went against everything they were taught, to allow Max to rule after all that he has done. 

 

The laws were simple.

Alpha blood will always rule. How is it the moon goddess allowed this? Why was it making me so angry? 

Why am I even thinking about this? 

One day here equals ten years up there. So the moon goddess had ample time to make sure laws are followed and to punish those that plan on disobeying. 

Just how much had she allowed to happen without this anger wrecking her insides? 

Was there a way to control it? 

'No.' A loud thunderous voice inside my head said. I had to hold my head from the rush of pain I felt when it spoke. 

The voice was angry. 

Angry about the way all these wolves lived life not honoring the laws that were put in place before they were even born, or thought of. 

The voice was angry that things were so out of place and left to such chaos where selfishness rules the heart of alphas. 

The moon goddess allowed this to happen. She let them run wild and yet the voice in my head says one cannot ignore the anger, the need to fix it all. 

Unless she wasn't the true goddess. 

My body started to really shake as a crazy rush of anger took over me and a loud roar came out, two black wolves appearing on each side of me. 

They were huge. Bigger than any alpha I've ever met. The anger that was radiating off of me, fueled them. I knew I had summoned them here by that roar alone. 

They growl, yes. Like all wolves, but this, was next level. Their power was intimidating, not to me but I could feel the atmosphere change the second the pack noticed their appearance. 

'Grandfather, I need you to take Adrastos home with you now. I will meet you there later.' I say and he nods his head. 

The words came out of my mouth like an order and my grandfather could not disobey. I immediately felt bad for commanding my grandfather around but that was quickly replaced by anger when I heard Max growl as my grandfather sped off with my son in his semi wrecked car. 

"You have no business getting upset. I'm doing right by Adrastos when I allow you to spend time with him but let's be real here, my nana would've smoked you. He's staying with me until I know he will not come to any more harm." I say in my new voice again. 

Max growls but he knew I was right. If the moon goddess decides to harm my son, Max won't be able to stop her. 

The two wolves that were with me follow my grandfather as he drives away with Adrastos. I watch them until they disappear. 

Xander steps closer to me and holds my hand. I look up at him and smile. I turn to look at Max and his pack. 

"This pack is a disgrace! You all have no honor! I will be changing all of that very soon." I say before disappearing off, taking Xander with me and landing in my room at my grandfather's house. 

 

I pull away from Xander and X bursts into loud cackles. He falls on my bed still cackling and I fold my arms waiting for him to share the joke. 

I wait a minute before he stands up and walks towards me. 

"I'm sorry. It just hit me that I've been fucking the moon goddess all this time." He says and I just chuckle at his childish behavior. 

"You do realize that you've just become the baddest bitch of all time right? I mean where did that roar come from? And the two gigantic black wolves?" He asks and I pull his hand dragging him out of my room. 

"I don't know about being the baddest but yes, this is some next level shit." I say as we walk down the stairs. 

We walk in to the living room to find an intruder sitting comfortably on the one seater couch. Xander stood in front of me and growled, warning the stranger.

 

"Hello Sabrina." The male voice said from behind me. I quickly turn to come face to face with an old man. 

The same intruder that was seated on the couch. 

Xander turned around, 

"Oh come on! How many of you are there? Fuck it, don't answer that." He says to the old man. He goes to sit down on the same couch the stranger was on.

 

"I didn't mean to scare you. I'm just here to see if you were real. We felt your power unlock, revealing your location and I had to see you." Old man says to me. When I say old, I mean my dad old. Maybe a little younger but around that age. 

"Who are you? And what do you mean you felt my power unlock?" I ask looking between X and old man. 

"I believe for you to truly understand, I'll need to tell you the full story about where you really come from." He says and he gestures for me to sit on the couch and I sit down. Something inside of me was telling me I can trust this man but my son was on his way here and I didn't need strangers around him.

 

"Sabrina, almost two decades ago, the first family found out Kimberly was pregnant. Kimberly concealed her pregnancy from everyone except from her family. During the time she went into labor, an uprising had begun against the first family and the father had to make a tough decision. A decision to let the daughter go in hiding from the ones that will look to kill her and stop the first family from continuing their lineage and rule." He says to me. His eyes get glassy as he talks to me. 

"The father had the Kimberly's  identity changed and teleported to earth. I guess his moves were being watched because Kimberly was kidnapped, keeping her away from her daughter and hidden from her family for years. Since only your mother knew your location and she went missing, there was no way to locate you until now. Anyway, the daughter was raised as a normal wolf on earth as Ethia had her powers hidden but all her powers could not be suppressed and slowly they came to life, defeating the very purpose that Ethia had in mind. Sabrina, you are from the first family. The only daughter of the first family and I believe you can't be killed because you are immortal. You are meant to rule all werewolves." He said to me and I quickly stood up. 

I looked at him incredulously. 

"What do you mean first family? I have two siblings so mind explaining how I'm not related to them? I have a father back on earth!" I say and he nods his head sadly. 

"I know but that is the life you were thrown in to. It is all you know but explain to me how you're the only one with such strength? Yes, your sister is gifted but she can't even lay a scratch on you. Didn't you ever wonder why?" He asks and I shake my head no. 

"Think Sabrina! Your sister can only control water. You control all elements besides your million other powers. You can't possibly be fully related." He says to me standing and I step away from him, stopping when I've created a safe distance from him. 

 

"Look, I don't know who you are or why I'm suddenly the moon goddess but my family is on earth. Stop this nonsense of first family." I say. 

I was getting angry. I was confused. 

This man felt like home, felt like a safety blanket I didn't know I still needed but what he was telling me couldn't be true. 

There's just no way. 

"You're just as stubborn as your mother." He says and I chuckle in annoyance. 

"Which mother? I don't even know what's true anymore!" I say close to tears. 

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I just, I'm just telling you what I know to be true. Do you know of the first family?" He asks and I shake my head no. 

To be honest, I didn't know much except for the fact that they were the first family of werewolves. 

"The first family, they are the first lycan family with powers. The family that comes from a realm not of this earth, a realm where we rule and look after the wolves here on earth. The reason why there are werewolves on earth is because my father fell in love with a human and she died during childbirth, giving birth to a pup. My father started what you call today a trend and the wolves from our realm would come to earth and have sex with human females which started a whole population of young wolves who could not control their wolves so we stationed commanders on earth to create packs and have the wolves live within the pack lines. We separated all males that were related to females so they could mate within their bloodline so humans don't get suspicious but I guess some humans caught wind and the Hunter families were born, hunting werewolves. Anyway, woman born of the first family are to take over as moon goddess when she comes of age, just as you have done now. You're a little late on that but we don't blame you." He says and I sit back down to take in what this man was saying. 

"Who are you?" I ask looking up at him. He sits back down too. 

"My name is Hunter. I am your father." He says to me with so much confidence. 

"You are part of the first family?" I ask and he nods his head yes. I looked at Xander who was looking between me and the old man. 

"Yeah I don't see it. See with Christopher, I see it but this Hunter guy is not your dad. No way!" He says. Hunter growls at Xander and I growl at Hunter for growling at my mate. 

Hunter looks back at me.
