Not Your Mate Anymore

Sabrina's POV

"Don't be silly Arianna. Why would I allow my child to kill wolves?" Josey asks and Arianna turns to face Josey.

She moves back, bumping in to me.

"You might not be alive to stop it." Arianna says and we all gasp.

"What are you saying babe?" Cj asks his mate, she turns to face him as tears fall on her face.

"I hope I'm wrong. Goddess I really hope the vision is wrong and can be changed." Arianna pleads with Cj.

"Explain the part where you say Josey may not be alive?" I ask. Arianna turns to face Josey.

"Josey, you want to go explore this love story with Cayden and I understand that. Your vampire is in control now so that also makes sense but it all goes downhill for all of us if you walk away right now with that vile creature! He sends us all to our doom. Just as Sabrina couldn't bring your mates from death, she won't be able to save any of us from what is to come if you choose him. We all die, leaving her all alone with her son and you die first, at the hands of the heir he wants so badly." Arianna warns. Josey chuckles as she shakes her head no.

"There is no way. Why would my own child kill me? Why would he kill his family?" Josey asks and Arianna looks away from all of us.

"You are aware you don't have a kingdom to rule? No vampire nation or community? Your son will watch Adrastos ascend to becoming king of all werewolves, making him the ruler, his ruler. He will be part wolf which will require him to abide by all wolf laws. Born a kings son but an heir to no kingdom. You will birth a narcissistic evil that will bring nightmares to our world." Arianna says before fainting in CJ's arms.

We all look at each other as Evan walks in, who nods his head at Anthony and they place Josey in the cell with Cayden.

"Hey! Why am I in here?" Josey asks and I look at the two boys.

"At the moment, we can't trust you." Anthony says and Josey rolls her eyes.

"Can this place even hold me? I'm sure I could just.." Josey says before trying to walk out but the barrier throws her back, forcing Jose to land on her buttocks.

"Why are you guys so against love? I'm trying to be with Cayden. Stop standing in the way of what is meant to be." Josey says as she gets up.

My fathers walk in followed by mother. Christopher Trent looked better, he was himself again. Dressed well, buttoned up and cufflinks on. My dad was back or was he pretending?

"What is this I'm hearing? Josey is a vampire? Show me your wolf Josey." My father tells Josey who steps back from us.

Her eyes were still a bright red, her vampire still present.

"I can't do that right now." Josey says and my father shakes his head in disappointment?

"You just lost your mates and now you already want to run off in to the sunset with the bozo that killed them? Over my dead body. Separate them and put her in a different cell. We will make sure her wolf grieves in peace without the interference of a vampire slum king. Your wolf will heal and she will bounce back, I did twice. No child of mine will be without their wolf, I won't allow it." Christopher says as Anthony and Evan grab an unconscious Cayden and move him to a different cell.

"Sabrina, what do we do now?" Hunter asks as he looks at Josey.

"Uh well I think we just leave her to her thoughts. I can feel her wolf's agony all the way here and she can't stand there and say she doesn't feel the pain. Let it drive her crazy, to remind her who she has lost." I say before I turn around to walk out.

Everyone follows me as Josey shouts out.

"Are you kidding me!?" ...

"I need time to think. This is all too much and I honestly need to breathe. Let us meet up again in 3 days and hopefully Josey will be back to herself." I say before I disappeared, wanting to be in my mates arms.

"Uh oh... what happened now?" Xander asks me and I just throw myself in to his arms.

"Clayton and Chase... we lost them. Their pack was attacked and they're dead. Josey already wants to jump in to bed with the vampire king and her mates aren't cold yet. She has fed so she takes blood now." I say before burying my head in his neck.

"Hold on... say that again, slowly." X tells me and I repeat what I just said.

"I want to cry but I don't have time for that. I need to figure out what I plan to do with this vampire and how I can reverse this vampire curse that is flowing in her veins. She's different and I don't know if I can accept her like this." I say and Xander stays quiet.

"Arianna had a vision while she was up there." I say.

"Is the war still happening?" Xander asks..

"Yeah apparently Josey will have a child with the vampire king and that child will the one to bring trouble at our door." I say and Xander remains quiet.

We stay quiet for some time before mother barges in to Xander's office, followed by Hunter, father, Anthony and Cj.

"Sorry to just barge in but we don't have 3 days. We need to handle Josey right now." Father says to me. I open my mouth but close it right after.

"I've been asking this for some time now. How do we do that?" Anthony asks.

"Well, locking her up isn't the answer." Mother says and I chuckle.

"And you think letting her run around is? She is ready to forget all and be with the vampire king. Locking her up is the answer until we figure out what to do." I say. Everyone else nods in agreement.

"Look, scrambling for answers might not be the best thing. Sabrina was right to come home and clear her head, this is all just too much. We lost family and as much as we all want to save Josey, the heart is broken and maybe a few days will do all of us some good before we rush in making a decision." Xander points out.

Even with my family's interruption, I was still holding on to Xander. He was my peace right now, all the time actually.

"Fine but we will all stay close to Josey until we make a decision. We all go back up there now..." My father says, leaving no room for argument.

Mother, Hunter and father disappear first. Leaving us, the kids behind.

"You guys go ahead. I'll be there shortly." I say looking at my brothers. They nod their heads before Anthony holds CJ's shoulder, disappearing off and leaving me with my mate.

"Well, your father is feeling better." Xander says and I smile.

"Yeah, with him calling the shots, he is definitely his old self again. We just can't enjoy that because of what is happening with Josey." I say and Xander tightens his hold on me.

"Is it so wrong of me to want to lock her  up so she can give her wolf the chance to grieve? If she still wants the vampire king then, I won't stand in her way. She is my sister and I want her to be happy but she was mated and they just died!" I say, drained of all energy from just thinking about all of this.
