Chapter 18

Book:Not Your Mate Anymore Published:2024-5-1

Reginald went off to stab Natalie in the heart with a silver blade. Killing her instantly. Charley saw what happened and roared so loud, I felt it. The whole world must’ve felt it. I’m not sure if it was from the pain of his mate dying but he stopped fighting, Percy stopped fighting too as he shifted back to human form and dropped to his knees. Everyone stopped to witness the death of their Luna. They could all feel it, the pain of losing a pack member, their pack mother.
This was a battle they couldn’t win now and they all got down on their knees and submitted. Charley was on his knees crying for his mate. Percy was held down but he also couldn’t take his eyes of his mother.
Reginald had won.
The rogue alpha has taken over blue moon. Reginald has taken over from the Woods family.
I bolted up from slumber with my phone ringing. I looked at the time and it was 2am. I looked at the caller ID and saw Ralyn’s name pop up.
“What do you want Ralyn?” I spat out. Definitely happy I was pulled out of that nightmare but not happy it was Ralyn that did that.
“Sabrina, I need your help. My father he… he attacked blue moon” she said through sobs.
“What? What do you mean he attacked??” I asked her.
“He killed her Sabrina. My father killed Natalie. He has Charley and Percy locked up. I don’t know what to do” she said to me. I didn’t know what to say. That dream was real? Then why am I still in bed? How could I see all of it? I saw Natalie die. I saw it all but it was a dream. How was she telling me something that happened in my dream?
“How did she die Ralyn?” I ask her. Please don’t say a silver dagger. I crossed my fingers.
“He stabbed her with something silver. I couldn’t see from my room. Sabrina, he promised he wouldn’t hurt them. He promised to make me Luna.” She sobbed. My dream was real and I saw it all happen. If I could go there myself now and help I would but I was hours away. Besides, I don’t want to give her false hope. If I do come to help, it is for the people that have to suffer from Charley’s actions.
If I was going to help, I also couldn’t tell her I was on my way. I didn’t trust her to not go running to her father.
“Ralyn, your father is the alpha of rogues. You should’ve known better. What they did now, is their way of life. We all know this, you know this. Blue moon can rot for all I care. You did this to yourselves.” I said and then I hung up.
Deep down in my heart, I know I won’t just sit by and do nothing. Charley should’ve known better. It was only a matter of time before this happened. This is why we kill rogues.
I had to tell my dad.
I immediately ran out of my room to my parents’ bedroom. They were still sleeping when I barged in startling Remi out of her sleep.
“Daddy, you have to wake up. Something bad has happened” I said out loud for the whole house to hear.
My father shot out of bed ready to attack until he saw me alone in his room. He groaned in annoyance.
“Sabrina! What is so important that it couldn’t wait 3 more hours?” He says groggily.
My grandfather, brother and sister came charging into the room too. Looking confused.
“What’s going on?” My grandfather asked looking between me, my dad and Remi who was still in bed.
“Blue Moon was attacked. The rogue alpha attacked them. He’s taken over daddy” I say to my dad.
“Well Sabrina, it was bound to happen. That’s what I told Charley when I was still there and that’s why most of us left. What’s done is done. Everybody back to bed. Blue moon is not our problem anymore.” My father said. I was not going to give up that easily.
“He raped and killed Natalie. I saw it.” I say to my dad. Remi gasped out loudly. My father looked at me confused.
“What do you mean you saw it? Blue moon is hours away” Cj said to me also looking confused.
I heard my mother’s voice say ‘show them. Just take their hands in yours and imagine it. Show them your dream’.
I grabbed Josey’s hand and did as I was told. Her body stiffened and her eyes went to the back of her head. I don’t know how long we were out of it but my dad pulled us apart eventually. Looking at us confused.
“Oh, my goddess… it’s true. How did you do that? I saw it dad. When they raped the women. Oh goddess. How did you see that, Sabrina?” Josey asks me.
“Grab mom and dad’s hands and imagine showing him what I just showed you. It should work with you as you and I share the same power. I’ll show grandfather and Cj.” I say to her. She nods and walks over to dad as Remi does the same.
I walk over to Cj and grandpa. I grab their hands and show them everything.
After they have all seen my dream, I run out of their room and come back holding my phone. I dial Ralyn’s number and wait for her to answer.
“Hello? Sabrina? Are you coming to help? They took Percy and Charley into the dungeons Sabrina. My dad says he’s going to kill them on the night of the red moon. That’s in 3 days. I’m locked in my room Sabrina. I don’t know what to do.” She started to sob uncontrollably over the phone.
“You said your father killed Natalie.” I say to her over the phone.
“Yes, he stabbed her. Right after raping her, he killed her in front of Charley” she said back to me. I then look up at my dad.
“I’m sorry Ralyn. My father forbids us from taking action. This is all your fault. You fix it.” I cut the line and look at my family. I look at my dad who’s looking at me in disbelief.
“So, you’re saying you just saw this in a dream?” My dad asks me. I nod.
“I don’t know how to explain this but I think this has something to do with my mother. She came to me in a dream once and now she just spoke to me again.” I said and everyone looked at me like I just grew a tail. I turned to my grandfather,
“Grandpa are you sure nana was just human? Not a witch or anything supernatural?” I ask him. He shakes his head looking at me. A looked of guilt flashed through his eyes but he quickly closed his eyes and when he opened them, he was void of any emotion.
“I think Brina is right. Mama came to me in a dream too when I found out my mates were having a baby with Elise. She told me I’m not weak and to fight for my mates. That my fight was different from Sabrina’s.” Josey said to us. I took Josey’s hand and held it in mine.
“Mama and nana had to be something for Josey and I to turn out like this dad. Although we don’t have the luxury of time to dwell on this, we need to save blue moon.” I say looking at my dad.
“We can’t pumpkin. Most of my warriors are overseas working. We have about 30 warriors at Green Forrest. That’s not enough to take down the rogue alpha” he says to me. My heart breaks but then I get an idea.
“The children papa. They poor children had to see their mother’s raped and killed in front of them. I’m not doing it for my mate but for those that are paying the price for Percy and Charley’s cowardice! They need our help.” I say to him with so much determination.
“There is a reason my mother showed me what was happening to blue moon. If she didn’t want me to intervene and if she didn’t think I could do it, she would’ve left me to live in the big rock we’ve been hiding under as humans. We are wolves before we are human and if you can’t help me, I’ll find it elsewhere” I said this and ran out of their room and out the house.
I immediately shifted into my wolf and howled out my sadness. I saw my sister and brother run outside, then also shift into their wolves to howl with me. My brother nodded at me and then I knew that they would follow wherever I decided to go. I sent a nod back at him and one to my sister then turned around to run to Max’s pack with my siblings right behind me. He was going to be the one to help me save those people. He was going to help me take down the Rogue alpha.
