Be My Mate



Josey's POV

"Why has Aiden not been poisoned?" I ask my family. They all look around each other, not knowing what to say.

"I'll ask again. Anthony was poisoned. Why not Aiden?" I ask.

"Maybe he was and he healed himself?" CJ says to me.

"He was never sick! I mean Sabrina practically spray painted her event with his family's blood and left it for display all day. Would you not avenge them?" I ask and Hunter groans.

"Why would he harm Adrastos then?" Hunter asks.

"I mean we are right here. He could have started with me as the head of the snake." Hunter explains.

"No step dad. The note said he is starting with the weak ones. The more human ones, and unfortunately, as a baby, Drastos is weak." I say, the words coming out bitterly as I remember the state my nephew was in when we found him.

Using all of her power and strength to save him.

"I mean you make a fair point. Hurting Sabrina's past mates is a game only a lover would play." Anthony says and I nod my head.

"You forgot something though. Why has Brina not looked for comfort in his arms? They just completed the mating process and she couldn't be more lonely!" I say, my mother finally getting it.

"It's starting to make sense now." Hunter says.

I mean, I could say a lot more.

Like how Aiden never spends time with his step child or talks lovingly about him. I also don't think I have ever seen Adrastos in his arms, ever. I could be wrong but everything is pointing to him, my sister's one true mate.

The one she is supposed to spend thousands of years with.

"Please stop." Sabrina walks in on us, eyes looking tired.

"Come on! It all makes sense." I say and Sabrina shakes her head no.

"That is my mate you're talking about. Get proof." She says before turning her attention to Hunter.

"I need your approval on a new rule. No one is to visit earth with your approval. They have no business there and it will help us monitor the comings or goings." Sabrina says.

"I can create a barrier that prevents anyone from going. Once Hunter approves them, I'll let them through. I'm bored out of my mind these days anyway." Mother suggests.

"Yes, that could work. Please start on that barrier now." Sabrina asks mother.

"What's the rush?" Anthony asks Sabrina, who looks around before turning back to us.

"Max is awake. I was finally able to heal him completely so he's ready to go back but I'll only allow his return to earth if the barrier is complete." I say.

"I did say that boy was strong. You know, if we are talking about genes alone, that was a good choice for a baby daddy. I'm telling you!" I say, everyone looking at me funny.

"Well, am I wrong?" I ask, Anthony being the only one to shake his head no.

"How is Xander doing?" Mother asks and Sabrina looks down.

I could feel her heart breaking. The look in her eyes before her head fell told us what she couldn't say. He was not doing so well and that could only mean one thing.

"I've tried everything. He's not coming to." Sabrina says dejectedly.

Her voice low and her body starts to shake before she starts to cry.

"I'm the fucken moon goddess and I can't save one of my supposed children! It's part of my job to protect them and I can't. They pray to me, even if Xander knows who I am, it's in his DNA to pray to me for protection, provision and long life. I failed on so many accounts, don't know what to do. This boy is newly mated and he is so young. How am I supposed to keep him alive when my powers can't do much? Goddess abilities are useless right now." Sabrina says, her voice getting angrier by the second.

"So, you still don't know who poisoned them?" I ask her and she glares at me, but I stand tall.

"I do." She says and I gasp.

"Then go fucken ask them what the fuck they used to fucken poison everyone! There could be an antidote for crying out loud! Why are you dragging your feet on punishing this evil toad when you could have ended him already?" I ask in frustration.

"I got the poison out. It's just that the

poison had attacked Xander's vital organs before I could heal him. I want my new enemy to think he has won that I'm not coming for him but I am and when I do, killing him will be on the menu." Sabrina says to me and I choose to stay quiet.

We all act out differently and I'm the type to shoot first and ask the questions later but Sabrina is the moon goddess so I guess.... no, no. I guess nothing.

"Sabrina, if you don't at the very least detain this man then he might strike again. You can't play with our lives like this." I say, finally getting the support from my family as they nod in unison.

"I mean I don't know if the poison will affect me but who knows? I don't want to find out. This culprit could be concocting a different one just for me as we speak considering I'm half dead. Dying isn't exactly the point for me." I say, the words giving me chills.

If I'm poisoned, that could affect my wolf. Not too sure I'm ready to lose her just yet.

"Josey's right. Who knows if we are being poisoned slowly in our food? In our drinks or the fucken air we breath? You need to send this toad to lock up." Anthony says to Sabrina.

"You all want to know so bad who tried to kill my past?" She asks and we all say yes.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Fine. You wanted to know." She said.

Sabrina turns around and walks out, we look around each other. A little confused on what was happening and if really Sabrina just walked out on us.

"Did she just walk away?" I ask, Anthony breaking out in laughter and I join in because I was in disbelief.

"I think she went to go get this poison man." Cj says, his face serious and truth to his words, Sabrina walks back in.

We all gasp as we realize who she walked in with.

"Okay, let me be the first to say, I

was wrong about Aiden, he will soon be receiving an apology from me. It is a serious crime in my book to accuse a man of a not so manly crime and it could kill the all manly reputation he has if word had gotten out that the family was suspecting him." I say, but the family was more focused on the man standing before us.

We did not expect this.

This man had us all fooled, the first family was a joke if someone as him could pull this off. We were all too relaxed to not have checked him.

"Evan?" Anthony and Cj say at the same time and I chuckle.
