Be My Mate

Chapter 24- I Smell Blood

Sabrina's POV

"You know we have more pressing matters than looking pretty?" I ask my sister and mother, as they run around finding different dresses and shoes to try on.

See, I don't enjoy it as much as they do but today, I was not enjoying the dressing up at all. In fact, I picked the first dress that they showed me and wore it.

"Sabrina, really. Would it hurt you to try and also enjoy the day?" Mother stops running around to ask me.

"How can I? I can feel the energy in the realm and it is not a joyous one!" I say very loudly, startling her.

"You can take the volume down a notch and have you ever considered that the very energy you talk about that's not so joyous is coming from you? You put it out there and as much as this ball of yours is about finding out who wants to go against us, it is also about your ascension as the moon goddess. That is an important role, it is more important than this vendetta you and your father are on. This is where people will feel your energy and your wolf. Tonight is all about you and the people need to meet the new goddess and as much as we don't need their approval, you need more people on your side than the resistance. Try a little harder, we can't outshine you on your night." My mother lectures me, actually hitting the mark and yes, I know she's right.

I roll my eyes to pretend that she didn't just make sense but I stand up, stomping my way to the rack of dresses on the other side of the dressing room.

"I think you should wear green. We need someone to symbolize tranquility.." Josey suggests and I scoff.

"What of envy and jealousy?" I ask, eyeing her up and down.

"Oh don't be a party pooper. Stop the negativity!! My goddess do you need liquor? Because you're no ray of sunshine right now." She says to me.

"No. I need to be in the right mind today." I say. My mother grunts as she is pulled side to side by one of girls here to help us get dressed.

"A corset mother! Really? What year is this?" Josey shouts out. My mother ignores her, slipping on her shoes.

I decide to stay in my original white ball gown, with Crystals, long sleeves and a high neck. Matched with my silver strap shoes.

"I'm gonna go check on Aiden." I say.

"Yeah you do that. Since he's not on a leash, there's no telling what he could be doing." My mother says and I fake laugh as I walk out.

I know my family want me to mark him but I just can't. My intentions wouldn't be pure and when he finds out, what would he say?

I mean I know he also marked me out of fear and anger, but he had to. Marking him now, would just open up a can of worms I am not ready to deal with.

"Hey.." I say walking in to my bedroom. Aiden looks up, sitting down on the bed putting his shoes on.

He stands up and pulls me in for a hug.
