Be My Mate

Chapter 25- Say My Name

Sabrina's POV

"Xander?" I whisper out. In a navy blue tuxedo, probably looked better before all the blood but if anyone knows me, this is how I like my men.

Covered in blood from a kill.

Sane.

"What have you done?!!" Aiden screams out before charging at Xander. I drop the two hearts quickly and hold Aiden in place.

"Let me go." He says to me but I don't budge.

"I killed them okay? It was me. Not Xander or anyone else, it was I." I confess looking between Aiden and Xander.

"To be honest, I was just about to kill them." Xander says scratching the back of his head, earning a growl from Aiden. Aiden looks back at me, his eyes filled with tears.

I finally let go of him and we all watch him fall to his knees. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Why?" He asks, looking at the two lifeless bodies in front of us.

I don't answer him.

He should know why and for him to ask me that, means he believes their actions did not warrant their death but in my books they do.

Xander pushes the body off an unconscious CJ and calls Anthony to remove the silver collar. It is then I wish that Cj was Hunter's biological child. Yes we are a blended family but silver would never harm me

like this, I want all my siblings to be the strongest and as much as Cj is the king on earth, he's but an ant in this kingdom.

Anthony rips off the collar and Cj regains consciousness, taking in the room around him. People start making their way out but I use wind to shut the doors.

Everyone turns to face me and I make sure to stand tall.

"Oh heavenly realm. The realm of gods and strength. How you have failed to welcome your own." I say, as I lift the two dead bodies high up in the air.

My father, Hunter comes to stand on my right side and mother to my left. Josey, Cj and Anthony do the same, not knowing what is to happen but having my back either way.

"Even before our return, you allowed a mere god, of less power and strength to rule over you. None of you questioned her authority or fought her for our return but here you all stand, questioning my capabilities because I grew up on earth. Questioning my father's capabilities because he went in to hiding to raise his children so that today we can stand here and fight! You really think after all that I have been through, that I would be forgiving? Because I'm from earth, I'm soft?" I ask as I use my claws to tear my dress, ripping it to shreds and standing in front of everyone in my naked glory.

Aiden falls back, standing with his family and the rest of the people here.

I shift in to my wolf and my family does the same. Even Cj, who is probably too weak to even shift but he pushes through.

"You're all here, enjoying my champagne and finger snacks but snickering away about how you can't have an earthling as the moon goddess. Well who said you have any say in all this? I'm Sabrina of The First Family. I am the Moon Goddess!!! You are beneath me for fuck sake. I have a say. Hunter has a

say. Anthony has a say. Josey has a say. Kimberley has a say but not you. None of you get to tell us who to be and when to rule." I say, feeling my father releasing his energy.

I shift back because I feel like stomping my feet and pointing hands.

"I killed them. If I had spared them another second, Hunter would have killed them and if he didn't, Anthony would've jumped in. If that's not enough, I have my vampire sister, who is also a demigod, here to kill them. My brother may be an earthling but he is my brother and he had a mate. Arianna was family, we loved her and you..." I say pointing at Aiden and his family.

"You thought I would just stand here like the weak earthling you think I am and take your bullying? I am not the one today or ever! Take a good look at me and then look at yourselves. You can never be me or take my place, you will never feel that exhilarating power from ruling ever again because we are here to stay and if I have to kill all of you, I will." I say. Aiden growls at me and I growl back, just louder.

"True mate. My true mate.. You forget, you belong on this side now. Family or no family, have you forgotten about sacred law? The law you keep shoving down my throat? The minute you took me as a mate, forcibly marking me, you became one of us. So your place is here, by me." I say.

"Have you not taken enough from me? Now you still want my son!" Eleanor says to me.

I walk closer to her and yes, naked.

"He was mine before any of this happened and did I not warn you? I believe I did but maybe I can be merciful and kill you right now to end your pain. You are traitors after all and if you think that you'll be going back to your shiny expensive home after this, you're surely mistaken. Traitors don't get to sleep in luxury, they belong in the cells and that is where you and your daughter in law are going." I say. Nodding my head at Evan to have guards take them away.

Aiden comes up to me and grabs my hand.

"Sabrina, don't do this." He pleads with me.

"You told your family that you would choose me over them if the time came. It is here, choose." I tell him, folding my arms for the added effect.

He looks at me then at his crying mother. He then looks at his father and brother who hang high up in the air.

"You know, my family warned me about you." I say as I start to circle him.

"They told me to mark you yesterday and I said no because I want our union to be made from true love and not because I need the mark to force you to be on my side." I say to Aiden, who's eyes bulge out in shock.

I nod my head yes, as if I could read his mind and he was asking if I'm serious.

"I don't care if that woman gave birth to you and your big head almost killed her, she is getting locked up. They sat together as a family and plotted against mine. I've about had it with people undermining me and my power so you can either stand with me, where you should be mate or go be with your family and it will not be on warm plush beds looking up at high ceilings with diamond chandeliers." I say before I turn around to walk back to my family.

I lay my hands on a weak CJ, who was miraculously still in his wolf form, to heal him.

After a few seconds, I feel him come back to himself and I let go.

I turn around now to face everyone that came to my ball.

Aiden walks up to me, gently grabs my hand and kisses it. I hear his mother scream for him but Aiden proceeds to undress himself and shift in to his wolf before standing behind me.

I smile as I look at everyone in the room in front of me.

"Now, get me a dress and let us start with the ball. Let the two men hanging high up in air be a reminder to anyone that thinks of harming my family or coming for what belongs to me, that is your fate. And yes, they will stay there all day until this ball is over with." I say looking at Eleanor.
