“What about me?” Percy says and I shrug. He fucked up. What about him.
“You seem to forget why we’re here. You did this to us. What did you think would happen? I’d sit idly by and watch you parade her as your mate while you see me in secret?” I say and he looks up at me.
“I loved you, Percy. Forgave you for not saving yourself for me. The worst for me though was that you didn’t even think I deserved to know about her before you went ahead and humiliated me in front of my friends and family. You kissed her in front of me. You had sex with her knowing what it would do to me.” I say walking closer to him.
“I kept wondering why you’d hurt me like that. Why you’d want to leave things that way. Not once did you come check on me or try to explain yourself. For days I was in my room. I couldn’t eat, breathing was difficult. The pain was so unbearable and for a minute it felt like my soul was dying. I kept telling myself that you’ll come and tell me it was all a mistake.” I speak. I could feel the tears falling on my face.
Just thinking about what he did to me brings them on. I moved on, yes but we never had the talk. I never got to get things off my chest.
“Sabrina I…” he tries to say something as he stands up. I raise my hand to shut him up.
“I’m not done.” I speak. I let out a sigh.
“You broke me, Percy. You are the man the moon goddess chose for me. I mean the sheer disrespect of sacred law from you. Sleeping with someone else but refusing to reject me. I was in emotional pain but no, that wasn’t enough. You had to fuck her and have me go through the worst pain known to wolves. Percy I was unconscious and drugged for 3 days.” I say to him.
“I’m sorry Sabrina. I know that doesn’t erase everything that I’ve put you through but I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” He says to me.
“I forgive you. I forgave you a long time ago. I could not move on with Max while I’m holding out hate on you. I can’t even begin to hate you because of the mate bond and even though we aren’t mates anymore, you hold a special place in my heart and I will always care for you.” I say to him. His body relaxes at my words.
“I know we belong together Sabrina. You were made for me and I will always believe it to be so but I ruined that. I’m selfish for expecting you to wait for me and not move on. Max is a lucky man.” Percy says to me and I smile.
“I’m the lucky one. He was there for me when you broke me even when he was broken too from his own mate rejecting him. He waited for me to be ready to be with him. He is good to me, good for me. The moon pairing us as mates was a learning curve and I hope you find love.” I say and he pulls me in for a hug. I feel faint sparks when we come into contact.
They weren’t as strong as before or when I touch Max but this will be a constant reminder of who he is to my me and my wolf.
I remembered I was here for more serious reasons so I pulled away from him and stepped back.
“Percy, we are going to war in a couple of days and the pack needs more people to fight against what’s coming. Percy, I’m asking you to fight alongside this pack against the people you swore allegiance to.” I say looking into his eyes and listening to his heartbeat. If he lies, I’ll know.
“I’ll do anything for you. Whatever you need, I promise I’ll do.” He says to me.
I nod at him and turn around to walk out.
“I’m glad I don’t have to force you into this. I’ll have Cj come brief you on your role in all of this. I’m glad I didn’t have to use mind control to get you to fight on our side.” I speak. He looks at me confused.
“Exactly what can’t you do?” He asks me and I chuckle.
“I can’t disappear into thin air like my mother or nan but maybe one day.” I say still smiling.
This simple conversation reminded me of the time Percy and I were just kids being friendly with each other. An alphas child and a beta. When life was just normal.
“I hope we can be friends one day Sabrina. I know right now that’s asking for too much but I hope in time, you’ll see me as someone you can trust again.” He says to me and I nod my head.
“Soon I hope.” I say to him and I walk out.
This was the Percy I was mated to. The man I thought I’d spend my life with.

I head up to CJ’s room to talk about us being watched.
“So, you’re saying we have a mole? Right in this pack?” He asks and I nod.
“I mean they had mom Cj. I’m sure they have more people working for them so I’m going to have Josey help me out and we will change the weather and create some strong winds and rain. A storm is coming anyway so that will keep everyone indoors but you’ll have to sneak out from your room to go install all these gadgets.” I say.
“Not a problem. Just don’t make the winds too powerful. So what time are we doing this?” He asks.
“I need to rest a bit after paying the prisoners in the cells visit so be here in 2 hours. I’ll have lighting shoot out twice and that’s your signal to sneak out. That will mean you’re in the clear, ok?” I say and he nods.
I hug him and walk to my new bedroom, Max’s room.
Today went well. I was able to eventually have a decent conversation with Percy. We have a plan to defend ourselves and I was officially marked.
Now to take a nap.
I walk in to Max’s room to find my mother waiting for me. I close the door and go sit with her on the couches.
“I called your nana to come help. She’s with your grandfather and they will be here tomorrow night. They would like to spend some time together…” she says
“Yeah, we need all the help we can get. The stronger the better.” I say and she nods.
“Yes. I’ve also called Daisy, your headmistress to come help.” She speaks.
“Wait? She’s a supernatural?” I ask
“No. She comes from a family of hunters. They know a lot more about the family we are going up against.” She says…
“Who else is coming to the party mom?” I ask her because I keep getting surprised by her.
“Well, we need the help, Sabrina. With you carrying a pup and all.” She says nonchalantly.
“Wait what?” I ask.
