Be My Mate

Chapter 21- Heed My Warning

Sabrina's POV

"Father, Luka is Aiden's brother, which makes him my family. As much as you still carry around the hurt and betrayal from their father, please remember that his children played no part in it. Besides, it's up to the king if Luka should stay or not." I say trying to squash the coming fury from Hunter.

Hunter growls, looking at me and then at Luka, who looks around the room to avoid eye contact.

"I will allow it, only because my sister is mated to your brother. Just don't make this a habit, you may be of higher ranking than me but this is my land. Your kind does not exist in this realm, we do not even pray to you so remember that the next time you think of crashing a Trent celebration." Cj says to Luka while holding a glass of whiskey in his hand.

Power!

"Oh! All hail the king! The king has spoken!" Josey jokes out loud and we all chuckle at that, including our very own king.

"I am truly sorry about my brother's uninvited appearance. I had no idea he would come here." Aiden apologizes to my family.

"Well, at least you are well mannered. They got that right with you and it's a good thing you are the one mated to my daughter." Hunter says, throwing daggers Luka's way.

The rest of the celebration went well, no further interruptions or any uninvited guests arriving. Josey was hammered and dragged Anthony in on her drinking. Cj was also having a good time with his mate.

Luka did well to avoid Hunter, staying close to Aiden.

Maximus had asked to leave early, something about getting back to his pack for something important.

Xander..

Well he slipped out. Didn't even say anything to anyone, just up and left, leaving his mate here, drunk.

Arianna had her taken to a guest bedroom for the night, where she also bid us farewell as she was spent. Eventually everyone left leaving me with Aiden, Anthony, Luka and Josey.

Aiden and I finally decided to join in with the drunk ones, dragging Luka with us. From shooters to bottles of champagne, midnight snacks to going out in the wild to hunt for something real.

We were all drunk, full and happy. It was amazing to see Josey so happy and dancing, mind blank from everything she has been going through as she tries to do some funny dance Luka had all of do.

"I like her better than you.." Luka comes to sit with me in the forest.

"Well, I like her too so I can't be mad at that." I tell him. Luka had this dark aura around him that I didn't trust, it made me uneasy and I had no idea I would soon find out why.

"So what are you going to do about her vampire?" He asks me and I look at him confused.

"She is a demi, which means she's allowed in our realm but being a vampire will make it challenging for her to be accepted." Luka says to me and I chuckle.

"Well then we can stick together. Your realm won't accept an earthling moon goddess so what's new?" I ask, feeling the world spin as Athena groans at my poor decision to drink so much.

"Well we don't have a choice with you but with her, we have every right to decide if we want her kind with us. I mean what sort of kids will she make?" He asks me and I growl at him.

"Strong ass kids." I say, imagining Josey's kids playing with mine. It warms my heart at that and I smile inwardly.

"Yeah until they have a thirst for our blood and drain us all." He responds casually, which annoys me.

"Don't be silly. They won't be full vampires. Her wolf is still present and her mate will be a wolf, making that gene even stronger. If Josey can control her urges then her kids will be even better as they won't be raised on blood alone." I say, making Luka think for a while. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"So who's blood will they live on?" He asks and I point at myself, at Anthony.

"I can donate. Anthony will do the same. My family will do whatever it takes to make their lives easier, included in that will be training on how to control the animal inside just as we were trained to control our wolves. We are just as animalistic as them Luka, but you are singling her out." I say getting annoyed and folding my arms for that added effect.

"She is already singled out. Granted she will meet her mate in our realm just like your mother did but I'm talking about the general public. They will want her kids dead." He says to me.

"Then they will have to go through me and I dont know if you know this but I'm a pretty strong bitch." I say chuckling at my words.

"No question about that but you won't be with them the whole time." He tells me and I laugh to mask the growing anger inside me.

"Well, I don't know if you know this too but I can bring people from the dead so if someone kills them, I'll bring them back every time and I don't care what it costs me. Josey is part of my family, making her part of the First family by association so you and everyone in that judgmental realm better remember who we are. My grandmother might have been lenient but I don't fuck around with my family, I will teach you all real quick to respect us, no matter what animal resides in us." I say, standing up and dusting myself off.

"Hey, I'm just trying to alert you on what could potentially happen to your sister." Luka says with his hands up in surrender but I knew better than that.

"You are a shit stirrer aren't you?" I ask as Aiden approaches us.

"Who's a what now?" Aiden asks as Luka tries to play innocent.

"First it was you telling me how if I don't leave Xander, you and everyone else in the realm will kill him and now it's Josey?" I say getting angry now.

Aiden looked between Luka and I before huffing out at his brother.

"Now I know you lot don't know me, but I can tell you this, I don't care if you are Aiden's little brother, I will end you if you ever put my little sister's life in danger." I say as Aiden gives me side hug.

"What did you do?" Aiden asks Luka. Luka looks at me, smiling before looking back at his brother.

"I just told her we don't do vampires in our world. Tell me that I'm wrong?" Luka says waiting on his brother's response. I look up at Aiden too, waiting to see just what he will say to that.

"Well, you didn't want me to mate with Sabrina. You and our parents didn't want an earthling moon goddess but it seems you don't always get what you want." Aiden says.

I feel the energy shift, complete anger radiating off of Luka before Aiden growls in warning.

"Now you control yourself. You might be blood but this is my mate.. my love for her trumps yours, ask mom and dad." Aiden warns Luka.

"You know I am right. You both know it! I don't care if she is your mate, her family can't just come back and change the order of things." Luka says before walking away in a huff.

"My family created the order of things, don't forget that." I say and he stops before quickly stomping towards me, getting in my face.

He was so close to me...his wolf show face, as his eyes darken but I smirk.

"Your family left! Ran away like cowards and we ruled! Our world was so much better and now people are torn but just so you know, my family has a following and if we have to cast you all out again, we will." Luka warns and I chuckle.

Aiden growls as his claws come out.

"You can try but you will not succeed.. You forget my mother was no match to Ethia and that is why she ran, to protect me but Ethia was no match for me. I ended her and trust that if you ever come for mine, I will come for yours. I hope they will be prepared for what my family will bring. We will not lose our home again, not this time and not from the likes of you." I say before using a gust of wind to throw him miles away.

Aiden runs after him, shifting mid run to tackle him back on the ground.

It catches Anthony and Josey's attention, as they turn to look at me.

"Do siblings fight like that?" Anthony asks and I shake my head no.

"He threatened my family. We need to keep an eye on him and his parents before they do something stupid." I say, my siblings remaining quiet as they watch the two brothers at it.

"I think it's time we took over the heavenly realm. We have been relaxed and this makes people like Luka think they can challenge us." I say before running towards the brothers and shifting.

I let Athena take the reigns as she releases all of her power before growling out loud, forcing the two brothers apart and showing their necks in submission.

I applied pressure on Luka, relieving Aiden, as he immediately runs to my side and we stood before Luka.

I shifted back with a smug look on my face.

"Maybe I didn't introduce my whole self to you before but let this be your warning. I'm not to be played with." I say before shifting back and running off in to the deep forest.

Aiden runs with me, side by side as Josey and Anthony follow us in their wolf form. We left Luka to lick his wounds and collect himself.

One thing he did though is awaken the fighter spirit in me. Once again, my family was threatened and for the first time, I will act fast before harm comes to anyone.
