Not Your Mate Anymore

Chapter 31 Revenge part 2

Sabrina's POV

"Hello uncle..." I say looking at Reginald. He was looking at me as if I grew two heads in front of him. He turns to alpha Neil,

"You didn't tell me the new mate was Sabrina!" New uncle says to Neil.

"Does it matter? You're a Male so that automatically makes you stronger and with that power of yours, how could she ever compete!?" Alpha Neil said to new uncle.

Xander looked between me and new uncle. Probably trying to add things up.

"He's my uncle. Killed my mother and now I'm going to kill him." I say right before I have a gust of wind on alpha Neil, lifting him up in the air and throwing him down, right by Xander's feet.

"Now, you kill this one." I say and then slowly walk my way to Reginald.

He releases his power, he seemed stronger but it could just be that I felt his power only once. Even if he was stronger, he was still no match for me. I won't be toying around with him this time.

I'm going straight for the kill.

I let my power out. All of it as Athena surfaces through my eyes. We were going to fight him together.

I let my anger out, which changed the clear blue clouds to gray within seconds. The energy around us changed. My power was indeed overwhelming. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

You couldn't go about your life and ignore it. I could sense the fear coming at me in waves from the wolves around me.

Xander wasted no time in toying with the alpha. He quickly shifted in to his wolf and mauled alpha Neil. The smell of blood filled our nostrils, fueling the pack with even more determination to avenge their alpha's mate. They ran, attacking alpha Neil's warriors without a second thought. Their loyalty touched me. The smell of blood fueled me as I started to run towards Reginald, he started to run towards me too, finally deciding to fight me.

He was fast as he quickly got to me and threw the first punch. It threw me up in the air but before I fell on the ground, I shifted in to my wolf and landed on all four paws.

So that was his super power.

Speed.

Athena was mad. A mad woman who wanted new uncle's blood. Thunder erupted in the skies, confirming my anger, making new uncle look up at the sky and then at me. The punch was painful but with Athena's anger, there was no room to dwell on the punch of the century.

I started walking towards him, each step was followed by lightning and a loud thunderous sound. The skies got darker.

He now knew that was definitely me.

He ran at me again but this time, I was ready for him. He shifted before he got to me and jumped at me, trying to bite my neck but I quickly shifted back, resting on my one knee so I could stretch my arms from under him and hold his big wolfy mouth apart.

His wolf saliva falling on me and dripping down my body. It was honestly disgusting but my need for revenge surpassed any and all feelings.

With my strength, I forced him on the ground, still keeping his mouth open and apart.

I stretched it further as he shook his body, trying to free himself from me.

My claws came out, allowing me a better grip on him as I stretched him even further until I heard a crack and then a snap.

I had split his head in half, his blood spilling all over my naked form. His body lying limp on the ground, lifeless. I looked up at Xander to see him, in his human form, covered in blood from head to toe, with alpha Neil's heart in his right hand.

He looked at me with so much adoration. I could feel the love just by looking in to his eyes. We were animals. This is who we were, fighters.

Covered in blood, his hair sticking to his face. The blood still trickling down his body and his claws out, showing me his true self. A true lycan.

It hit me that this was the moment I was waiting for. The affirmation that Xander was it for me and my son. Right there in his true self, his chest rising and falling as his wolf calms down from that high we get from a kill, was my Xander.

We looked back at alpha Neil's pack warriors, who stopped fighting the minute Xander killed alpha Neil. The warriors shifted back to human form and walked towards Xander. He let out a warning growl and I immediately ran up to be by his side. He took my hand in his as we both faced the warriors that approached us.

One by one, they stopped right in front of us and kneeled. They were accepting Xander as their new alpha, which meant that the dead alpha had no heirs or anyone with legal claim to the throne.

Xander was their new alpha.

Xander turned to me and pulled me closer. Our bodies touching as my eyes locked with his, there was something sexual about this. Being like this, in our victory, I wanted nothing more than to have Xander take me right here and now. It made me horny being this way with him in this very moment.

He tangles his hand in my very wet and bloody hair, leans in and kisses me.

He kisses me like his life depends on it. I'm the one thing he needs in this world to live and he puts it all in the kiss. I return the kiss with equal fervor, as I pull him down further to me but he doesn't relent, instead, uses his free hand to wrap around my waist and pull me up.

We pull away for air, staring in to each other's eyes.

"You are mine." He says to me. He wasn't asking me, also not ordering me. Just telling it like it is.

He was claiming me as his, like animals do. We were wild beasts and in the woods, this was how it was done.

"I am yours." I say back to him as he sets me down, our foreheads touching. I'm the first to pull away, remembering we have an audience.

Xander turns to the kneeling warriors.

Whoops, guess we forgot about them.

I think we would've had sex like crazy beasts had I not pulled away.

"Go home, tell your friends and families what happened here today. Today, you shall mourn your fallen alpha but tomorrow, you are part of my pack. Go on now." Xander says and the warriors all shift in to their wolves, putting alpha Neil's body on one warrior's back as they make their way back to their pack.

Xander and I made our way back to our pack with the rest of the pack following. When we made it to the pack house, I rushed to my apartment to clean up before I went to get my son. I took a very hot shower and scrubbed myself numb and red.

I put on some denim shorts and a basic white shirt. I walk out barefoot and bumped in to Lucas.

"Ah, I was about to get you. Thought you might need some help getting to the bunker." He says and I smile.

"Thank you." I say and he just smiles, leading the way to my son. He knew I'd get lost.

When we get to the bunker, we find everything in order and I take Adrastos, a sleeping Adrastos from Jill, relaying many thanks to her and the guards that I manipulated in to guarding my son with their lives.

When Dorothy and I got back to the apartment, we sat down so I could tell her what transpired between the two packs. She got up to go make dinner as Xander walked in.

He was all clean and smelling of his signature shower gel. He plops himself right beside me and rests his head on my lap. I start to massage his head, occassionally using my claws to gently scratch his scalp.

He hummed in enjoyment before sleep took over him.

One thing I like about Xander is, he doesn't snore. He grunts sometimes when he tosses and turns but that's it. With a wolf's super hearing, it helps not to have a snoring dog in your ear.

I picked up my phone and decided to call Josey. She declined my call and decided to Facetime me instead.

I answered, hiding Xander as I placed my phone on his head.

"Hey doll. Gosh I've missed you. So much has happened and I have a lot to tell you." I say and Josey smiles.

"You look happy." She says to me and I smile back at her.

"I am. I got to kill new uncle. Josey, I was able to finally put that dog down." I say and she chuckles.

"Well that's great. I mean, I would've preferred it if you had killed him then but you and your mercy." Josey jokes. We share some laughs and Josey fills me in on the family.

Dad's been drinking himself to oblivion and blaming himself for not being able to see that I was unhappy. It broke my heart.

Since I'm no longer in hiding, I can go visit them. With Xander.

"Anyway, Max called me. Wants to win you back and all. I just told him to right his Wrongs. I still hate him though. Please tell me you won't take him back?" Josey asks. I feel Xander's body tense and I start massaging him again.

I press the button that changes from selfie cam to the back of the phone cam and show Josey a sleeping Xander. Josey being Josey, squeals in delight, waking Xander and having miss Dorothy run in to the lounge to check on us.

I flip the phone back to me and shoot daggers at Josey. Who giggles and mouths an 'I'm sorry' before bombarding me with questions about Xander.

She ends up talking to Xander, getting to know each other and I leave them to it to go help Dorothy with the cooking.

Once we're done cooking, Dorothy's family walk in and we all have dinner together. They were not expecting to share dinner with the alpha so it was a little awkward at first but once Margot and I got talking, everyone chimed in eventually and my apartment was filled with laughter.

It made me miss my family. We couldn't be happy before when my child was born and be one big happy family, no thanks to Max but now maybe that was possible.

Xander, who was seated at the head of the table, grabbed my hand gently and squeezed it pulling me out of my thoughts.

"You okay?" He asks, still holding my hand and I nod my head.

He wipes his mouth and stands up, glass of wine in hand,

"Tomorrow we can finally have a ceremony to welcome Sabrina in to our pack. Tomorrow, she officially becomes one of us." Xander says raising his glass high and everyone follows his actions.

He looks at me, gesturing me to do the same. I raise my glass and they all cheer.

After dinner, Margot and I cleaned up as Xander and the men sat around talking about what happened today.

"Soooooo luna..." Margot says to me and I chuckle.

"You know, Xander and I have not had this conversation before. It's important I join the pack officially so I can link all of you but not yet as your luna." I say taking out the last plate from the dishwasher and handing it to Margot to wipe and put away.

"Would it be so bad? I mean we all thought Xander would never take a chosen mate until Jade but even then we were a little unsure and then you show up and change things. Now, the pack is absolutely sure he's going to take you as his chosen." Margot tells me and I just smile.

We finish up in the kitchen and head out to find Margot's family getting ready to leave. We all say our goodbyes and finally, it's just Xander and I. Well, Adrastos was just bathed, fed and put to bed so we have plus minus three hours to ourselves.

"Would it be so bad if Tomorrow was your luna ceremony?" Xander says as he pulls me closer to him, his nose on my neck, taking in my scent. He was clearly listening in on my conversation with Margot.

"No, I'm not against it. I just wanted to talk to you first." I say pulling his head away from my neck to look at me.

"Today, after the fight, when I looked at you, I just knew. I knew then that I wanted to be with you. It felt right, you feel right and I won't fight it anymore." I say to Xander sincerely.

"You know, when I looked at you, I knew then that today I'd make you mine. Seeing you at your strongest, using your human hands to split that wolf in to two, was the hottest thing I've ever seen. You are a magnificent woman Sabrina." He says cupping my cheeks and pulling me in for a soft kiss.

"I know this wasn't exactly waiting. I didn't give you the year I thought I would." Xander says to me.

"No. This isn't waiting but I'm not pushing you away, am I? I want this as much as you. I want to love again Xander, I want to love you. I want to be able to call this place home, call you home. I already feel so much peace just being here. You've been my rock in this little short time and maybe we are moving too fast, maybe waiting wasn't such a bad idea but here we are." I say to him, putting my hands around his neck.

"Then I have a surprise for you. Follow me." He says grabbing my hand and leading me out as Jill walks in pointing at the door to the nursery.

I look at Xander and he just shrugs. We walk down the stairs, he leads me out the house and in to his car. We drive for a few minutes and he stops in front of the school's sports ground. We walk in and stop at the entrance of the football field. I gasp at what I was looking at.

In the middle of the field was an arrangement of white roses, thousands of them. Music was playing through the speakers, something slow and romantic. As we got closer, I notice a white screen that immediately went on and showed pictures of me when I was younger, pictures of my happy times and I look at Xander to find out how he got those, he looked back at me and mouthed 'Josey'..

A video of me playing with Josey came up. I was around eight years old and I was telling my sister about mates.

'When we come of age Josey, we will meet our mates. It will be magical and you will love them with all your heart.' I say..

'Eeuw I don't want to be with a boy!' Josey retorts. 'You say that now. When the day comes, you'll be so happy.' I say. Taking me back to the day Josey met her mates. Before she found out they impregnated Max's mate, she was indeed happy. She was so happy and not weirded out in any way that she was mated to not one but two men!

I chuckle at the thought as a tear escapes my eye.

A video plays of me singing to Adrastos as he sleeps in my arms. I looked happy when I was holding him, the love could be seen there and Xander sneaked in at the perfect moment to capture this.

Pictures of me passed out in the afternoon with Adrastos, of Athena in her true form. Lastly, a picture of me and Xander laughing at something Adrastos was doing in Xander's arms.

I remember Dorothy taking that picture and I never asked to see it, but here it was, a picture of me and the two men in my life. The answer has been there the whole time.

Xander was there the whole time. All my pain and wasted efforts in Percy and Max led me here. Led Adrastos and I here.

I turned to look at Xander and found him on one knee, a black velvet box in his hand..

"My sister made me watch some romantic movie and this is what they do when they want to spend forever with someone." He says to me and I chuckle.

"Sabrina, the first time I laid my eyes on you, I knew you'd change my life. I was a mess Sabrina, I couldn't imagine a life without my mate before you. I was angry most of the time but then you came and all those negative feelings disappeared. I believe the moon blessed me with you as it rained a few hours before you arrived, before Adrastos arrived. I want a forever with you and the little guy. I will love you and stay true to you. I promise to never hurt you intentionally but if I do hurt you, you better call me to order. I promise to be the man you deserve or at the very least, try to be. I want to work at deserving to be the father figure Adrastos needs, to be consistent and patient with him. I want to work daily on making you happy and feeling safe. You are my home and if you run, I'll follow you to the ends of the earth and drag you back here because like I said, I want forever with you so there's no leaving me." He says and I chuckle in between my sobbing.

Yes I was a sobbing mess.

"I can't begin to tell you how torturous it was to watch you every day, not being able to hold you. So happy I can now call you mine. I promise to kiss you good morning with every sunrise, to kiss you good

night when we go to bed. I promise to steal kisses during the day and maybe at night. I promise to include you in all my decision making and have you fight by me in all the pack's battles, partly because we are in this together but also because you can kick ass." He says and I burst in to laughter.

At this point, my face was covered in tears. There was no stopping thr water works.

"I promise to love and care for Adrastos and raise him as my own. I promise that even if we have children of our own, he will still be my child, the first born of the 10 children we will have together. I promise that, where you fall short, I will come in. I will work daily to show you the love you truly deserve. With all that said, Sabrina, will you be my forever?" He asks and I nod enthusiastically.

He opens the box to reveal a rose gold band with an incredible and big white diamond. He took the ring out and put it in my ring finger. It fit perfectly.

"Are you sure? There's absolutely no going back after the kiss Sabrina. You are stuck with me." He says..

"Yes, yes and a thousand times yes!" I say and he let's out a sigh.

Xander rises to his feet and pulls me in for a kiss. Fireworks erupt and I break the kiss to look up.

'She said YES' in big letters popped up in the sky and the pack erupted in cheers. I laugh at that and he joins in as he picks me up and spins me around.

"What if I'd said no?" I say as Xander places me down gently.

"Well, we didn't think of that." He says and Josey comes out of nowhere screaming in delight. Behind her, her twin mates and my brother. Grandfather and dad walked up too followed by Arianna.

I turned to look at Xander and he pulled me closer,

"Tell me I didn't just kill this? I mean am I romantic or am I romantic?" Xander joked.

"You're the best." I said before running to my family and hugging them all. I hugged my dad last.

"I'm happy for you kiddo. You deserve this more than anyone." My father says to me. I couldn't smell any liquor on him, I'd have to ask Josey about it later.

Xander walks up to my dad and shakes his hand.

"It's nice to formally meet you sir and thank you, for giving me your blessing." Xander said to my dad. I turned to Cj with my mouth agape.

"Look, he asked ages ago but said he'd give you time to heal. Dad just wants you to be happy Sab." Cj tells me.

"We all just want you to be happy. Now that this is done, where's my nephew? I missed that little man." Cj says to me walking ahead of me.

We all walk back to the parking lot and I see more cars outside. Jill and Adrastos standing by Xander's truck.

"You thought he'd miss his mother's proposal?" Jill asked and I hugged her. This day just couldn't get better.

Cj took Adrastos from Jill and got in the backseat with Arianna. We all drove back in different cars and got to the pack house. I had my family stay in my apartment and Josey kicked me out to go spend the night with Xander.

"Don't tell me you're still that rigid girl! Go get it on, Cj and I will look after the little one. Besides, Adrastos will need siblings soon so get on it already!" Josey says pushing me out the door. She places my Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag in my hands.

"He needs cousins too. What happened to having kids around the same time? And what is all this lace?" I ask looking at the red lace in my bag.

"If you must know, a cousin is on the way but tonight is not about me! Go get some and we can talk tomorrow. That lace goes around your boobs and ass. Wear it!" She says before slamming the door on my face.

I groan but make my way to the alpha floor. I walk in to find Xander standing, holding two glasses of red wine. I throw the bag on the couch and take one glass, downing all the wine. I take the other glass, pick up my handbag and head to Xander's room. He took the empty glass plus the bottle of wine and followed me. He places the wine bottle and glass on his bedside table and went to close the door.

I walk in to his bathroom to see what Josey wanted me to wear. It was a lace bralette with matching underwear or parts of it. I take off my clothes and put it on, I then spray some perfume on me and let my hair loose. I stare back at my reflection, loving what I was seeing.

"Wow." Xander said and I looked at him through the mirror as he was suddenly behind me.

He walked up to me and hugged me from behind.

"I can't believe how lucky I am." He says in a whisper. I didn't respond as I figured he was talking more to himself than to me.

He carries me bridal style to his bed and gently places me on it. He takes a moment to look at me on his bed, I look back at him.

The hunger was clearly evident in his eyes. The bulge in his pants confirmed it.

"If only you knew what you do to me Sabrina.." He says to me.

"Show me..." I say and he raises an eyebrow at me.

It was going to be a long satisfying night.
