Not Your Mate Anymore

Chapter 49.2 Gone Too Far (2)

Sabrina's POV

“Anthony, I don't trust the way Josey was so eager to go back with Cayden. After what he did to her mates, I mean hours ago she hated him and almost killed his sister but now she was more than happy to go back and finish her mission." I say looking at Anthony who was still smiling from hearing me call Hunter something else.

"So? Maybe she just wants to finish her mission.” Anthony says and I shrug.

"Maybe. Maybe that's the reason but I can't shake the feeling that we are wrong so I need you to to follow them." I say.

"You want me to spy?" Anthony asks and I smile sheepishly.

"I need you to spy. Make sure Josey is still alive and well too. I can keep an eye on them here but I need someone on the ground too." I say and Anthony lets out a sigh.

"I better not get caught. I still have to meet my true mate and here you are sending me off to be vampire breakfast.” Anthony jokes and I roll my eyes.

"Is it not nightfall soon there?" Mother asks. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes. The time that they wake up.. oh how hungry they will be." Anthony says before disappearing.

"Mother, I need you to go back and check on father. Make things right with him and his wolf, I will try find a way to reverse your fake mate bond and maybe give my father another chance at love. True love but until then, you go say your sorry." I say looking at my mother.

"And Hunter, I need you to arrange my school attendance. I'm ready to be the moon goddess, the time for playing is over. I need to grow up and take my rightful place." I say and Hunter smiles.

"I'm on it." He says before walking out.

I nod my head at mother, who then disappears off.

I walk out of my office and straight for the recovery room to pay Cherisse a visit.

She was awake but I'm sure it will take sometime for her to heal and for the bone to reattach itself. Josey man.

"Hello Cherisse." I say as I sit down on a chair next to her bed. She looks at me then looks away.

"Where is my brother? And I need blood.” Cherisse says in a bratty voice.

"Your brother is back on earth." I say and Cherisse looks at me.

"He left me here?" She shouts out and I nod my head yes.

"What is his obsession with that damn wolf?! He is barely thinking straight." Cherisse thinks out loud.

"I was hoping you would give me answers to that." I say

"Cayden is obsessed with having a child, needing an heir so if he believes that Josey is capable of providing him with what he needs then he will go as far as compelling her to do what he wants.” Cherisse tells me.

"I thought a vampire couldn't do that to another vampire..." I say. I am shocked at this revelation, I thought Josey was safe from compulsion.

"Yes, I can't do it to another vampire but Cayden is a special kind. He is the first of our kind, walking in the sun and all. This is why he is our

king, his abilities know no end and every damn time, he surprises us. We almost killed your sister's mates, do you honestly believe she would willingly go back with him?" Cherisse says to me and I start to feel nauseous.

"This explains her eagerness to go back with him.” I say and Cherisse chuckles.

"You just handed my brother exactly what he wanted. With Josey, he has all that he needs to give him children that will rule the world." Cherisse says to me.

"We can't let that happen.” Cj says behind me.

"If he compelled her, I'm not sure what we can do to break it." I say and Cj walks up to me and Cherisse.

"Then we kill him. We kill the vampire king.” Cj says and Cherisse let's out a gasp.

Josey is mated. She can't possibly go through with this right?

The elders rush in carrying Chase and Clayton, who looked worse than before.

"What happened?" I ask and the elders look down, afraid to answer me as my power was released.

Evan walks in right after, looking grim.

"I'm afraid Cayden did not turn them. He fed on them, decreasing the silver in their system but after some time, the silver creeped up on their hearts again. I'm afraid this time, they don't have much time.” Evan tells me.

I walk out of the recovery room, grabbing CJ's hand and we head back to earth. I follow Josey's essence which leads me right to a cottage door.

Anthony jumps out from hiding.

"I thought it was my mission to spy on Josey.” Anthony jokes.

"It was until I found out that Cayden used compulsion on Josey. I will not let my sister be tricked. If Cayden wants my sister, he will have to win her heart without any manipulations." I say.

"Will her wolf let her?" Anthony asks and I shrug.

"She's compelled, her wolf is powerless to that." I say before breaking down the door and throwing a ball of fire into the cottage.

Four men rush out but the sun was still setting, turning them to ash within seconds.

We watched the cottage catch fire for a few seconds before the whole cottage was drenched in water. An angry Josey walks out, giving me the stank eye.

"Why?" She asks stomping her feet towards us.

"Cayden did not turn Clayton and Chase, he only fed on them. They are dying Josey.” I say and she shakes her head no.

"I'm here on a mission. If this is some sick twisted plot to get me to walk away from my mission, then I'm sorry. I am not going anywhere!"

Josey shouts out.

Ouch. Why does she always think I I nothing good for her?

"You think I would come here, torch this little cottage and lie about your mates dying just to get you to drop this mission?" I say, annoyance clear in my voice.

Cayden walks out, in changed clothing.

"Tell her." I say and he smiles, placing his one arm around Josey's waist.

"Tell her what?" He asks me and Cj growls.

"Tell her that you didn't turn her mates but fed on them instead. You needed to feed on them to get the energy to use compulsion on her.” I say and Cayden chuckles.

Josey falls to her knees and screams out in pain.

‘Chase is gone, your Serene highness. He has left us.’ Evan says to me through mindlink.

Josey continues to scream as tears fall on my face.

"What's happening?" Josey asks looking up at me.

"Josey, Chase is dead.” I say and Josey shakes her head no.

Cj kneels down in front of Josey and pulls her in for a hug. Anthony releases his power.

Forcing Cayden to drop to his knees and to bow his head. Anthony walks up to Cayden, pulls him by his hair and punches him on his face.

Cayden turns blue, alerting us of his power but Anthony maintains his grip on Cayden. Seemingly unaffected by Cayden's icy nature.

"I didn't properly introduce myself. I'm Anthony from the first werewolf family and you just killed a member of my family." Anthony says before he himself, emits a coldness that one feels when touching ice.

Anthony.

I was finally witnessing one of his powers.

Cayden's eyes bulge out before Anthony throws a ball of fire back in the cottage, where loud screams could be heard before the entire cottage blew up.

Anthony punched Cayden again before throwing him to the ground. He walked into the cottage, that was engulfed in flames. Even louder

screams could be heard as the fire became stronger.

Anthony walks out with a frozen Thomas, throwing him on the ground next to Cayden. Cayden gets on his knees to check on Thomas but before he could touch him, Anthony rips his head off.

"The next time you plot to kill my family, make damn sure you have nothing to lose." Anthony says before grabbing Cayden by the neck and disappearing with him.

Josey screams out again as Evan tells me about Clayton. Cj tries to comfort her but it was no use.

I help them both up before taking us back to the castle. Josey runs to the recovery room as Cj and I follow Anthony's scent.

It was not the first time I see Anthony fight but it was the first time he showed such emotion. The first time I witness such a power.

I had forgotten my brother was the heir to the first family throne. He would take after my father and obviously had to be just as strong, if not stronger.

We are twins.

He had to be born with powers and it was clear I needed better training on my abilities. Anthony, trained by Hunter, just proved that I needed to go to school so I can better use my gifts.

While Hunter sorts out my school stuff, my main focus right now is Josey.

I don't know how we are going to move past this and I don't know how to approach this.

Cayden was back in his cell, unconscious. Anthony was standing there, looking at Cayden and fuming.

“Let me kill him. Please." Anthony asks me and I don't respond.

"I think we should kill him. Goddess knows what other plans he has up his sleeve." Cj advises and I remain quiet.

Did he really have to go that far to get Josey? Was it really necessary?

I would have been more okay with him just using compulsion but killing her mates?

"No. Don't kill him." Josey says from behind us. We all turn around to face her.

"I know why he killed them. He did everything to get to my vampire. He did all of this to awaken her, for me to feed." Josey says to us. Her eyes red, showing her vampire's presence.

"He wanted me to come into my new self. With my wolf weakened, the vampire in me finds strength. You will not kill him as I am his and he is now mine." Josey says and we all just stand there, stunned.

Could it be? Cayden outsmarted us all and killed her mates to kill her wolf? But her wolf was still there, just weak from losing her two mates.

Although now, if Josey's vampire is stronger when Josey's wolf is weak, she will never allow the wolf to heal.

What have I done by allowing Josey to turn?

Arianna comes running to us, she was visibly shaking. Cj pulls her in for a side hug as Arianna grabs my hands.

"The war is on. Josey will have a son, a half wolf and half vampire with abilities. The only one that can defeat him is Adrastos, I believe that is why we had the vision of your son being the only one to win this war for all of us.” Arianna says.

What.The.Fuck!?
