Not Your Mate Anymore

Sabrina's POV

"So you were born on earth, raised by grandfather and nana, who returned to this realm a bit after having you?" I ask my mother, who nods in response.

"I'm aware nana and grandfather moved to human town because nana was bullied. This is true because I've heard about it from pack members

back at Blue Moon but did you honestly grow up on earth?" I ask.

"I was in between. Your grandmother moved back to this realm as soon as possible, trying to get her powers back. The previous moon goddess, your grandmother was punishing her so she would not budge. Mates are sacred law and your nana broke the law, our most important one of all. I would visit the realm, giving me a few years here, wherein I'd spent half a day away from earth.” My mother explains.

"Ethia introduced herself as luna when we first met.” I say looking between Hunter and mother.

"That is the name you will take as moon goddess. When you meet earthlings who have died or who you decide to show yourself to, you will introduce yourself as luna. That is the name all moon goddesses take, it has been that way since the beginning." Hunter says to me.

"How was she able to yield moon goddess power?" I ask, still looking between Hunter and my mother.

"There is an initiation that takes place once you have completed training which will unlock the moon goddess in you. In your case, it has been unlocked already and if it isn't, the elders let you wear the ancient jewels which help center the power on you. That is what Ethia did, she had the

jewels to help her gain a power that did not belong to her." Hunter says to me, anger very evident in his voice.

"She had help, Ethia. In the time after Hunter chose me and I was pregnant with you and Anthony, she created a group. Found people who had grown tired of the first family and their rule. Those people helped execute her plan in killing anyone in her way and obtaining the five weapons that could kill anyone from the first family. Two swords, two daggers and a bayonet. Everyone in the heavenly realm has gifts, we are born with them but the first family have something we regulars don't have and that is greater strength and immortality. Ethia recruited specifically on gifts and ranking.

After the killing of your grandmother, we had to go into hiding in fear of the very same weapons that almost took your life." My mother tells me.

"So you fell pregnant and then what?" I ask.

"It was a happy time finding out I was with child or children. That solidified my place with your father and definitely made the girls after him, stay away." Mother says to me but looking at Hunter.

"The girls in this realm never liked me much. Mainly because Hunter was my mate.” Mother tells me but Hunter chuckles.

"Now that's a lie. They did not like you because their mates wanted you. Just as Ethia wanted me and she went crazy, your mother had the boys going crazy too. I had to punch a lot of boys in my day to get them to back off and even that was not enough. When I eventually claimed her, when everyone found out she was carrying my children, they backed off. Although I guess they weren't exactly given a choice. We fled, in fear of not knowing who was against us. The moment I found out my best friend's family sided with Ethia, I knew we were on our own and the most important thing was to protect the children, you and Anthony." Hunter says me. His face held so much hurt, I could feel betrayal coming off of him.

His best friend betrayed him.

"So mother went back to earth and you?" I ask Hunter.

"We hid on earth too but on opposite ends. Although I would visit the heavenly realm from time to time." He says to me.

"Was that not dangerous?" I ask.

"It was but I had to sneak in, to try and find out who was against us and how to defeat them. I had an elder as a mole, who would hide my comings and goings, he would fill me in on Ethia.” Hunter explains to me.

"Did you also pick up a human mate whilst on earth?" I ask and Hunter looks down sheepishly.

"No. I did not mark anyone other than your mother. I did not father any other children besides you and Anthony but I won't lie and say I never took another woman to bed. I have already come clean to your mother and she chose to forgive me.” Hunter says and I chuckle.

forgave you for that too. I'm starting to think, had you not dated Ethia and everyone just stuck to their mates, we would not be in this mess. You knew from a very young age that Kimberly here, belonged to you but you still had to go around and taste other women. This thing of men getting to sleep around and women having to keep their virtue is disgusting, really! I can't believe I have to reprimand my own father but I will. You did wrong by mother, obviously she's no saint too after finding out she tricked my dad but you started the road of deceit and lust, you opened that door." I say looking at Hunter, folding my arms for that added

carrying you that I would not be able to raise you with Ethia looking to kill us. I could not stay in werewolf territory so I stuck with my parents and when I gave birth to you, my grandfather took you in. See, Ethia had no idea that I hid you with Christopher. She also had no idea that Hunter had Anthony, she had no idea I had given birth to twins. Your nana had no idea too, all she knew was what your grandfather told her, that there was you. Unfortunately, your grandmother chose sides and gave you up but luckily you did not show any heavenly powers that unsettled Ethia so she let you live out your life,

Ethia found me a few days before you unlocked your powers. I thought she had killed Kimberly but she was not there to profess her love. See, when I would sneak into the realm, I was stealing the weapons that could kill us and also gain information. I destroyed all of the weapons except the one that she used to kill you and that is why Anthony was so upset. He thought I had destroyed them all, but I left one.
