Chapter 43

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

Max pulls me in for a hug. Will I ever get to raise my son in peace like most wolves in packs? I couldn’t even run away and play human long enough. Now my son was thrown into this life and he is still not fully formed in my belly.
“I’m sorry Luna. We will do all that we can to make sure that the Locke family don’t succeed and if we have to kill them, we will. You are to be protected at all costs.” Arianna says to me.
Cj seemed to relax at that and so did Max. Arianna looked at Cj with such longing and I had to let them get a few minutes in to be together.
I linked Josey, telling her that Cj met his mate. She squealed through the link.
How. How does one honestly decide to squeal through a mind link!?…
“Arianna, I don’t want to keep you away from my brother any longer so let’s get these spells done so you can spend some time with him before it all falls down.” I say and she nods enthusiastically at me.
We walk into the pack house and in the lounge.
The sisters started chanting and moving around while we all just looked at them. I have never seen a witch do their thing so this was a first for me and I won’t lie, I was a little spooked.
A whole wolf of the moon and I was stupefied.
I had lost track of time as the sisters were at it for some time. When they said they were done, I looked up at Max and his eyes were all bulged out.
“What is it?” I ask him…
“Well, you’re not you. ” He says to me and I look at CJ who’s got the same look on his face.
I ran to the mirror and I still saw myself.
Arianna chuckled lightly.
“You won’t know what you look like but you look different. That’s just to hide you from Vera so you cannot be seen close to Max.” Arianna says to me.
“Where am I supposed to be if not next to my alpha?” I ask the girls.
I look at Max and he looks just as confused as me. Scratch that.
He did not look happy.
“Vera knows now that you will be fighting next to the alpha. It is not safe to take that chance.” Ariel said to me.
“She will be with me.” My nana said walking into the lounge.
“Alpha, if it gets too much, I will bring her to you immediately or I can take her some place safe.” Nana said
“… and besides, she can link you if things go wrong but don’t forget how strong this pup is.” She says to him.
Max let’s out a loud sigh.
“I know she’s strong but my wolf wants to protect his family. I can’t help it.” Max says to my nana.
I saw Arianna sneak out with Cj as Josey walked in.
Within seconds of Josey’s entrance, the sky turned a dark grey with lightning and thunder going about.
The atmosphere took a turn too and it was not inviting.
Arianna ran in to the lounge followed by Cj and the rest of the A name sister gang.
“She has begun, which means the Locke family is not far off. We were able to block her energy from sacrificing one of the witches but she got to the other two first. We were too late.” Astrid said.
All of a sudden, I remembered the rogues that I promised to deal with. I immediately got up and ran out of the lounge and to the dungeons where uncle Deacon was briefing our prisoners.
He seemed annoyed at my interruption since he couldn’t recognize me but luckily Max was right behind me.
I ran to Reginald and grabbed his face so he was looking into my eyes. Once I was done, I did the same to Scarlett. I looked at Max and walked out to find nana at the door.
“Let’s go. It has started and we need to be close to Josey and your mother.” She says to me grabbing my hand and leading me out.
I looked behind to see Max.
‘I love you’ I said to him through the link and he said it back. His wolf must be fighting with him right now but this was a great plan since my cover has already been blown. He knew that.
Nobody recognized me. If anything, many of the fighters were probably asking themselves where I came from.
“Sabrina, so your cover is not blown, you will fight at the strength of an alpha. Your mark shows you are mated to an alpha so they will probably think you are of alpha blood too.” Nana said and I nodded at her.
Any female born of alpha blood can only ever be mated to an alpha. It made sense.
However, alpha families mostly gave birth to boys but it happens that a girl is born of alpha blood. Ralyn is proof of that.
________________________________________
We could all hear the fight going on in the woods and if we had to go on the sound of howls, our prisoners were losing and fast. We all took our positions.
A very tall handsome figure emerged from the woods. Shirtless and covered in blood from head to toe.
Piercing ice-cold eyes took us all in. Taylor Locke is a handsome man. Evil or not. His walk and confidence exuded such intoxicating power.
I was drooling.
Heck, even my nana was drooling. Which snapped me out of that trance just in time to see the twins follow right behind him and an army of wolves covered in blood.
I looked to my far right to see Cj standing next to Max. Max was trying very hard to calm his wolf.
Oh my…
He read my thoughts about Taylor.
‘He is handsome Max, just not better looking and he has no dick print’ I said to him through the link.
He roared.
‘Sorry sorry. I shouldn’t have mentioned that but see how you have nothing to worry about? I want you and only you. Besides, you are 10 times sexier and a Lycan!’ I say to him and it seemed to have worked.
He smirked at me.
10 points to Sabrina!!
This was my chosen mate.
