I fall on the bed and all the waterworks break out. Father sits on the bed to try and comfort me.
“I’m really sorry Sabrina. I know father can come off like some controlling king but he’s just worried. You have a position up there, that people want. After Ethia’s death, there has been some death threats sent to him. There is a whole divide on you becoming the moon goddess. The Earthling moon goddess. You also have to understand that father and everyone up there was raised to think less of the wolves on earth, they are weaker, no offence Mr. Trent. Father is also from the first family, a family that looks down on others up there so you can imagine what he feels about being down here.” Anthony says. We all look at him, waiting for a better explanation.
Anthony let’s out a defeated sigh.
“I’m not trying to make excuses for him, I just know how hard it has been for him because I was with him. He told me every day about you since I can remember. How he wished things were different, how badly he wanted to kill everyone just to see you. Sometimes I’d catch him crying at night, looking at a baby picture of you. He is all tough exterior but inside, he cares a whole lot about you and even if he does not show it, the guilt of leaving you behind eats at him all the time.” Anthony says, which opens up my eyes to a different Hunter.
My father gently takes my hand, wiping my tears away with his other hand.
“You will always be my daughter. I will love you forever little moon but I think you should give this Hunter a chance.” Father says and Josey jumps around in excitement.
“It makes sense now why mother used to call you little moon. Little moon!” Josey squeals in delight and we all cackle at my sister. Her ability to shift people’s moods was her biggest and best gift.
She was truly an angel and even though she was going through her own hardships, she never fails to be there for me.
I stand up and pull her in for a hug.
“Josey, I have been a crappy sister to you. With everything happening to me, that does not excuse the fact that you are going through so much right now and I’ve been too self absorbed to care. I am so sorry!” I say and Josey pulls away from me, looking me straight in the eyes.
“You lost Percy then lost Max while carrying his child. You later found out that you have a whole family you did not know about and you’re about to become the moon goddess. Then you have nana, who tries to kill you, tries to kill my nephew and Xander! Let’s not forget that motherhood is a whole Chapter that is all too consuming in a good way. I don’t blame you for being distant, heck I don’t even know how you stay sane when you go through so much, one after the other! I really look up to you and I don’t doubt it, you would stop the time if you could to be there for me and I say this as your sister. It is okay Sabrina.” Josey says to me.
Mom and Dad did things right with this one!
Cj walks in and stops in his tracks at the sight of the three people that are not part of his pack.
“Did I miss family meeting?” He asks and we chuckle.
“Yes but thank the goddess you did. What a shit show that was.” Josey says cackling out of the room. If I know Josey, she was off to the kitchen to get something sweet and something salty.
Cj turns to me, concern in his eyes.
“I just needed some daddy and daughter time.” I say trying to ease his worry.
“Oh that’s fine then. Dad, Percy is here and he is ready to take up the role as my beta, I need you to teach him everything that you’ve taught me. Change his alpha attitude to that of a willing and obedient beta.” Cj says and father looks back at me.
I smile and nod my head, I got his reassurance. I know I will be okay.
Father stands up, kisses my forehead and walks out.
“You know, Percy said he could smell your scent in dad’s office and I thought he had lost it!” Cj chuckles.
“I’m glad he came to his senses about being your beta.” I say.
Cj jumps on the bed to sit next to me.
“You know, he is still hung up on you.” Cj says and I give him a side glance.
“Oh Percy was the one Ethia paired you with?” Anthony asked and I look at him, nodding my head.
“You can change that you know? Give him a new mate. He is not your true mate anyway.” Anthony says and Josey walks in, snacking on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
“What is it with you and Sabrina going on about true mates?” Josey asks and Anthony smiles.
“Up there, we have mates too. I haven’t met mine yet as I’ve been in hiding but I can’t wait to meet her.” Anthony says.
“Wait, are you saying?” I say looking at Anthony.
“Yes Sabrina. One thing our dear old parents forgot to tell you was exactly that. You have a mate, a true mate waiting up there for you.” Anthony says and my mouth falls open.
“Oh shit!” Cj says and I nod my head in agreement.
Oh shit.
