Chapter 50.1 You Decide (1)
Sabrina''s POV
"Don''t be silly Arianna. Why would I allow my child to kill wolves?" Josey asks and Arianna turns to face
Josey.
She moves back, bumping into me.
"You might not be alive to stop it." Arianna says and we all gasp.
"What are you saying babe?" Cj asks his mate, she turns to face him as tears fall on her face.
"I hope I''m wrong. Goddess I really hope the vision is wrong and can be changed." Arianna pleads with
Cj.
"Exin the part where you say Josey may not be alive?" I ask. Arianna turns to face Josey.
"Josey, you want to go explore this love story with Cayden and I understand that. Your vampire is in
control now so that also makes sense but it all goes downhill for all of us if you walk away right now
with that vile creature! He sends us all to our doom. Just as Sabrina couldn''t bring your mates from
death, she won''t be able to save any of us from what is toe if you choose him. We all die, leaving
her all alone with her son and you die first, at the hands of the heir he wants so badly.” Arianna warns.
Josey chuckles as she shakes her head no.
"There is no way. Why would my own child kill me? Why would he kill his family?" Josey asks and
Arianna looks away from all of us.
"You are aware you don''t have a kingdom to rule? No vampire nation ormunity? Your son will
watch Adrastos ascend to bing king of
all werewolves, making him the ruler, his ruler. He will be part wolf which will require him to abide by all
wolfws. Born a kings son but an heir to no kingdom. You will birth a narcissistic evil that will bring
nightmares to our world.” Arianna says before fainting in CJ''s arms.
We all look at each other as Evan walks in, who nods his head at Anthony and they ce Josey in the
cell with Cayden.
"Hey! Why am I in here?" Josey asks and I look at the two boys.
"At the moment, we can''t trust you." Anthony says and Josey rolls her eyes.
"Can this ce even hold me? I''m sure I could just.." Josey says before trying to walk out but the
barrier throws her back, forcing Jose tond on her buttocks.
"Why are you guys so against love? I''m trying to be with Cayden. Stop standing in the way of what is
meant to be." Josey says as she gets up.
My fathers walk in followed by mother. Christopher Trent looked better, he was himself again. Dressed
well, buttoned up and cufflinks on. My dad was back or was he pretending?
"What is this I''m hearing? Josey is a vampire? Show me your wolf Josey." My father tells Josey who
steps back from us.
Her eyes were still a bright red, her vampire still present.
"I can''t do that right now.” Josey says and my father shakes his head in disappointment?
"You just lost your mates and now you already want to run off into the sunset with the bozo that killed
them? Over my dead body. Separate them and put her in a different cell. We will make sure her wolf
grieves in peace without the interference of a vampire slum king. Your wolf will heal and she will
bounce back, I did twice. No child of mine will be without their wolf, I won''t allow it." Christopher says as
Anthony and Evan grab an unconscious Cayden and move him to a different cell.
"Sabrina, what do we do now?" Hunter asks as he looks at Josey.
"Uh well I think we just leave her to her thoughts. I can feel her wolf''s agony all the way here and she
can''t stand there and say she doesn''t feel the pain. Let it drive her crazy, to remind her who she has
lost." I say before I turn around to walk out.
Everyone follows me as Josey shouts out.
"Are you kidding me!?’ ...
"I need time to think. This is all too much and I honestly need to breathe. Let us meet up again in 3
days and hopefully Josey will be back to herself.” I say before I disappeared, wanting to be in my mates
arms.
"Uh oh... what happened now?" Xander asks me and I just throw myself into his arms.
"yton and Chase... we lost them. Their pack was attacked and they''re dead. Josey already wants to
jump into bed with the vampire king and her mates aren''t cold yet. She has fed so she takes blood
now." I say before burying my head in his neck.
"Hold on... say that again, slowly." X tells me and I repeat what I just said.
"I want to cry but I don''t have time for that. I need to figure out what I n to do with this vampire and
how I can reverse this vampire curse that is flowing in her veins. She''s different and I don''t know if I can
ept her like this.” I say and Xander stays quiet.
"Arianna had a vision while she was up there." I say.
"Is the war still happening?” Xander asks..
"Yeah apparently Josey will have a child with the vampire king and that child will the one to bring
trouble at our door.” I say and Xander remains quiet.
We stay quiet for some time before mother barges into Xander''s office, followed by Hunter, father,
Anthony and Cj.
"Sorry to just barge in but we don''t have 3 days. We need to handle Josey right now." Father says to
me. I open my mouth but close it right after.
"I''ve been asking this for some time now. How do we do that?" Anthony asks.
"Well, locking her up isn''t the answer." Mother says and I chuckle.
“And you think letting her run around is? She is ready to forget all and be with the vampire king.
Locking her up is the answer until we figure out what to do." I say. Everyone else nods in agreement.
"Look, scrambling for answers might not be the best thing. Sabrina was right toe home and clear
her head, this is all just too much. We lost family and as much as we all want to save Josey, the heart
is broken and maybe a few days will do all of us some good before we rush in making a decision."
Xander points out.
Even with my family''s interruption, I was still holding on to Xander. He was my peace right now, all the
time actually.
"Fine but we will all stay close to Josey until we make a decision. We all go back up there now..." My
father says, leaving no room for argument.
Mother, Hunter and father disappear first. Leaving us, the kids behind.
"You guys go ahead. I''ll be there shortly.” I say looking at my brothers. They nod their heads before
Anthony holds CJ''s shoulder, disappearing off and leaving me with my mate.
"Well, your father is feeling better." Xander says and I smile.
"Yeah, with him calling the shots, he is definitely his old self again. We just can''t enjoy that because of
what is happening with Josey." I say and Xander tightens his hold on me.
"Is it so wrong of me to want to lock her up so she can give her wolf the chance to grieve? If she still
wants the vampire king then, I won''t stand in her way. She is my sister and I want her to be happy but
she was mated and they just died!" I say, drained of all energy from just thinking about all of this.
Lucas shouts out "Yo, alpha! We have a problem." They share a look which tells me they were talking
through mindlink.
Xander kisses my forehead before mouthing sorry. He walks out of his office, leaving me alone with my
thoughts.
How am I going to fix things? The choice to meddle with vampires just brought all of this heartache.
The war toe. This was partly my fault for going into this blindfolded and sending Josey in there
without backup.
Xander barges in, he was dressed differently too.
"The councilmen are here. I had them sit in the lounge so maybe go change into something appropriate
and meet me down there with them?"
Original from N?velDrama.Org.
X says and I look at him confused.
"What do they want?" I ask in a whisper tone as if they were in the room.
"Beats me but they would like to talk to the both of us." Xander says mimicking my whisper tone,
opening the door for me to walk out. I leave
him in his office, making my way to the alpha quarters.
Decided to wear a flowy green dress with green and brown sandals. I let my hair fall and brushed it,
pulling it to one side. Showing Xander''s mark.
Joining our visitors in the lounge, where Xander was already seated.
"Councilmen, we were not expecting you. I''m sorry to keep you waiting." I say. Forgetting that I am the
moon goddess and they can wait all year long for me.
They all stand and bow their heads at me.
I sit first, next to Xander and they follow right after. Someone had brought refreshments and ced
them on the coffee table.
"We are sorry to just drop by like this but we have pressing matters to discuss with you both. We have
been alerted and shown a vision of theing war between vampires and werewolves. It is troubling
and because the vampire already have a monarch and one ruler, it makes it easy for them to follow
orders." One of the councilman says.
"The king lives yes, but he has no one to rule. They are all dead. What threat could he be right now?
The war is years away if it all depends on a child that isn''t even born yet." I say looking at all three of
the councilmen.
"We can''t take our chances and have therefore decided to build our own kingdom. We will have one
king and one queen to rule over all werewolves in the country. The council in other parts of the world
agree with this and they will also be implementing the same thing. We will still have alphas and Luna''s
but they will be reporting to a king and a queen. We have decided to hold trials, every alpha has to
compete for the role of king. The strongest alpha will upy the the throne and rule beside his luna."
The other says and I watch Xander scratch his neck.
"When does this trial begin?” I ask and the three men smile at me.
"Next week. We are aware it is short notice but we are pressed for time. It will take time for the
werewolfmunity to get used to the idea of a king and queen and we don''t have time to deal with
unrest plus theing war. We will use this time to implement the n and slowly work on adjusting to
a new lifestyle." The one says.
"What happens after an alpha wins? Is there a castle to live in?" Xander asks. I nod in agreement.
"That is in the works. We will be confirming that during the trials. We just came here to formally invite
you to the trials." The councilmen all say before standing up.
"We are also under the impression that the twin alphas are missing. Although we would like tounch
an investigation, as you can see, there are more pressing matters.” The one says and X growls.
"We will pass on the message." I say trying to defuse the situation before it esctes too quickly. The
men nod their heads.
We say goodbye to them and they leave us with a big question mark.
Apetition of alphas?
"This is.. well.." I say and Xander groans out loud.
"I''m not against fighting to show my true strength, it''s just not the best of times.” He says to me and I
nod in agreement.
"Josey needs to return and run the pack until the twins son grows up. She can''t just abandon it but she
is no alpha so she won''t be able to take part in the trials." I say trying toe up with ways to bring her
back.
"Are you sure she can''t take part? Her wolf is a strong. You can''t allow the vampire, a baby vampire to
just take control like that. You are the moon goddess Sabrina, bring Josey back and we can work out
the rulester but for now, her pack needs an alpha." Xander says to me.
"You''re right.” I say and Xander nods his head yes.
I grab his hand and before he knows it, we are in front of the castle doors with Evan waiting for me.
"What''s the status?" I say and Evan lets out a sigh.
"The vampire king is awake and he wants out. His sister tried to escape, goddess knows where she
was going to run in a ce filled with wolves but she did that. It''s been crazy. Your family keeps
bickering all the time about what to do with Josey, it has been a loud time here with your family and
Josey won''t stop whining for the vampire king.” Evan says, looking drained.
To think I was only gone for 2 hours max. I forget how time works here and it had probably been a very
long time up here.
"I also need to point out that it isn''t normal to have earthlings here, in this realm and also in this castle.
The order of things doesn''t allow for such, although with recent events, the elders allowed it but it is
now something they wish to talk to you about.” Evan says, not looking at me.
I roll my eyes and walk into the castle. Walking straight to check on Josey. Evan leads Xander to where
the twins body''s were kept so he can say goodbye.
Josey was pacing up and down, pulling on her hair.
"Shut up. Just stop being so sad. They are dead! You need to die too!" Josey says and I raise my
eyebrow at what she was saying.
She growls and her body stops pacing as she turns to face me.
"Sabrina make it stop. My wolf won''t stop crying and being sad, it is driving me insane." Josey says and
I remain silent.
Josey continues to pull at her hair, scratching herself. Well she was losing it, yep.
"Is this you or your vampire talking?” I ask and she shakes her head no.
"Me. Look I want to be with Cayden, my vampire is not forcing me to do anything.” Josey says
pleadingly and I shake my head no.
I look straight into her eyes as she gives me the puppy dog eyes.
"Feel everything.” I say and she falls to the floor crying. She howls out loud as she folds into a fetal
position.
"Why are you doing this? It hurts so bad.” Josey cried out and I almost felt bad. Almost.
Looking at her was breaking my heart but I needed her to remember her mates. She was once so in
love with them, once and that kind of love, their mate bond was one you can''t forget about in just an
hour.
I walk away from her cell, leaving her to her feelings. Just when I was about to walk past Cayden''s cell,
he called out for me. I stop walking and turn to face him.
"Please, don''t put her through that. Would it be so bad being with me?" Cayden asks and I send him a
death re.
"Don''t be full of it. yton and Chase just died and you already want her in bed with you. She will
mourn her mates and if she still wants to be with you after all of that, I will allow it but until then, you will
not be with her. I lost my brother''s because of you and for that, you will pay because they did not
deserve that kind of death and you know it, she knows it.” I say before walking way, not giving him time
to respond to me.
I walk to my office and I make my way in, closing the door behind me. A book on the shelf falls on the
floor and just when I was about to put it back, it catches my eye.
It was a book exining my powers, my gifts. A book that exined in detail what the powers of the
moon goddess were and how I was to use them.
The book also reminded me that I was the moon goddess. I can be advised but in the end, I make the
decisions. I had the power.
What stood out the most for me was that I had the power to choose between life and death. Yes, in
most times, it is safer not to get involved as all my pups had to live their lives and most of their deaths
was a result of the lives they chose but when it came to people that did not deserve death, I could
intervene.
I could intervene, prevent a tragedy or bring someone back to life.
The problem was, that portal was only open for a short period and that portal would only be open if the
person thought they had been robbed of their lives. If indeed they were robbed, there was a portal
where I had to decide if they should be dead or theye back to life.
Had I gone to school, I could''ve saved the twins. The elders advised against me interfering with death
saying I''d have to pay an even bigger price but the book doesn''t mention that. Obviously, there will be a
price to pay for this.
