Chapter4
Percy comes running out before I get into the car to drive off with Josey.
"Why aren't you having warriors escort you to your grandfather's?" He asks.
"Humans couldn't hurt me. What do you want Percy?" I ask in a bored tone.
"I need you to believe that it wasn't my idea to be with Ralyn. You see, it was the only way to deal with the rogue situation. I need you to believe me please." He said as his eyes stared into mine trying to look into my soul.
"What does the rogue situation have to do with you mating with Ralyn?" I ask with my eyebrow raised. Oh, this ought to be good...
"She is the Alpha Rogue's daughter. He wants his daughter to be mated to the future alpha or he will wage war on our lands. My father won't risk pack lives for us. I won't ask the pack to fight for me either when I can keep them safe. He has a 1000 warriors Sab. We are only 500 with 300 warriors. People will die. I can't ask that of them. Please understand." He spoke.
I scoffed.
A coward. I was mated to man that just kneeled to a rogue rat of a king. A feral. Athena growled loudly for all to hear. She was furious. We knew we were more powerful than our mate but we had no idea we were mated to a coward. What we lack in numbers, we make up in reinforcements. We have the skills to fight the war, the weapons to disable them. How does my mate not know this? Is he really that dense? Did he not get any alpha training?
Every wolf, even rogues know mates are sacred. It a gift even rogues accept wholeheartedly. The only law rogues live by and here was my mate, cowering between Ralyn's legs.
"Unbelievable!" My brother throws his hands in the air looking at my mate in shock. "Is that your excuse? Have you no pride? How can you even call yourself an alpha?"
"You're still a beta in training. Watch your words, I can very well pick someone else to take your position." Percy growled out.
"Go ahead. We don't have another beta family in this pack. Something's fishy here and it has Ralyn written all over it. I hope the rumors aren't true Percy. I hope you did not take her virtue only to have her father wage war on us" Cj said standing tall with his chest out to Percy.
Josey and I shared a look. I looked at Remi who also looked confused.
When I looked at Percy, he looked ashamed? Was this his doing?
"That's just pack gossip. I did no such thing! Sabrina, you have to believe me, I would never..." Percy said grabbing my hand in his large ones. He takes a loose stand and puts it behind my ear.
"I was keeping that promise until my father asked this of me. You must know the pack will always come first." Percy said as I pulled my hand from his. I knew Percy was no virgin. He had slept with a few girls before we found out we were mates. Maybe one of them was Ralyn.
"Good bye Percy. Don't call me... Tell Ralyn, even on greener grass it snows. She'll understand." See, Ralyn knew I was a white wolf. She was family. Only family had seen my shift at 13 and she was there.
She would tell me stories of how the grass is always greener on the other side and how she had a plan to get to that side. Now since my wolf is white as snow... you can fill out the blanks.
Climbing into my red Ferrari 488. "Oh, and Percy?" I call out to him as I close my door and roll down my window, "out of my way" I roll up my window revving my car. Looking at Josey who was playing Rihanna's needed me, I turned it up and sped off our driveway. The need to be far away from Percy was so strong that I almost forgot my plan before we passed the pack border. I came to a halt on the line between the pack land and no man's land.
"Why'd you stop Sab? Please don't tell me you're having second thoughts" Josey said panic evident in her eyes
"No. I'm leaving, I just want to make it for good." I say as I get 0ut of my car. Josey's eyes bulge out still trying to register what ì said and before she could stop me, I stand between the line, one foot on each side and say,
"I Sabrina Kimberley Trent reject Percy Woods as my mate. I Sabrina Kimberley Trent free myself of the Blue Woods pack and sever all ties relating to the pack. I accept my new position as a rogue from this moment on." When I felt a headache come on and go away just like that, I knew it was my dad and he was going to find us so I put the car back in gear and race off to the great Unknown.
Josey was stunned. Kept telling me dad was ordering us to return this instant but I was having none of it. I will not sit idly by and watch my mate marry another. Feel my mate give himself to another. The further away I was from Percy, the less I'd feel. If he was to sleep with Ralyn, yes, I'd feel it but it's better when I'm far away so I don't go hunting for Ralyn.
I decided we drive all the way to the lakeside manor seeing as I'm a rogue now and my scent could make people feel a little uneasy. My phone kept ringing and I knew it was Percy because he had not accepted my rejection because I would've felt the pain in my chest. Athena felt powerful, she was ready to take on the world.
"Maximus keeps calling you Sab. You need to answer it. He's only worried about you." Josey said.
" I know.... I just can't talk about Percy right now. I'm on a power trip and I'm enjoying this high for now. I want to enjoy this moment because I know it will be short lived." I say to Josey who nods her head in understanding.
My phone rings again and this time I decide to answer by putting it on speaker through the radio.
"Max, I'm driving." I say as he chuckles and my sister swoons all over. See Josey has had a crush on Max forever. She's a confident girl but in front of Max? A complete klutz. She is clumsy and flimsy and all the Sy's you can think off. Problem is I know Max likes me. Josey knows it too.
"Hello to you too Kimberley.” Maximus says to me. He likes to call me Kim, says it makes him feel special... that he's the only one that gets to call me by that name and also keeps telling me I look like my mother.
"I just heard about your mate. Your father called and asked me to accept you into my pack to remove the rogue stench that's probably taking over your scent right now. I'd be happy to, always said you could be my Luna..." I roll my eyes at that. "Pass by my pack before you go to lakeside. My warriors know you're coming." He drops the line before I could respond.
"Don't you wish he was your mate? He is hotter than Percy..." Josey said while I kept throwing glares at her still trying to keep my eyes on the road. "I mean obviously you don't see it with the mate bond and all but please just take a look at Max when we get there? Just really look at him. Also try to sniff the air when he's around women. You'll understand. Even I get aroused by the sight of him" Josey said forgetting she's 15 and Max is 19.
"Josey Sands Trent, you get your mind out of the gutter right now! I can't believe what I'm hearing." I say in exasperation. In shock really.
"Oh, stop being such a nun. I know you get wet dreams about Percy Schumrcey.. I've also heard Percy sneak in to the house to see you. I'm 15 not 5." Josey said pointing a finger at me.
"Oh, stop it. I'm still intact, we never got intimate. Never even kissed actually and now I'll never get to taste my mate. I'll never get to smell like him and feel his pups move inside me..." I whisper but Josey heard me as a somber mood took over in the car.
"Ok we took a little detour but I'm bringing us back to Max! Max Sabrina. He's hot and you'd be stupid not to get some of that! If you don't want him then tell him so he can give us a chance. Sheesh I'm no prude, I welcome some dirty action. Here here daddy Max.." we laugh. We laughed so hard I forgot about what I even said before then. I looked at Josey while she was sleeping and thanked the moon and my parents for her. This 15-year-old put her life on hold so she could hold my hand. Comfort me. Cry with me and laugh with me.
_________________________________________
It's been 4 hours of driving and my ass was sore from sitting for so long so I decided to make a pit stop to fuel up and stretch my legs. Josey ran into the shops to get some snacks while I waited outside just walking around to feel the breeze.
A group of men, about 6 of them walked out of the bar opposite the gas station and they had that stench of a rogue mixed with some heavy alcohol. Werewolves can get drunk but not for long. Our healing capabilities made sure of that and that's why when we drink, we take in the hard liquor for that effect.
"Look at that beauty. Boys look here, a 488 engine. My goodness." The guy in the middle said then took a look at me.
"My my my... two beauties for the taking. You have no scent baby doll, are you recently banished? Haven't had the time to relish in your freedom? I can show you a good time if you want" like I was their next meal. Rogues.
"I'm good old man. Keep it moving" I say in a bored tone. I really don't have the energy to deal with these assholes but Athena wants blood.
"Old man? Let me show you what this old man can do. Who knows, maybe the moon will bless us with rain while I take your innocence. I can still smell it" he smirks.
She wolves release a scent when they are still intact, to appease their mate when they meet. Male wolves walk around their mate sniffing them to find that scent off innocence. They take pride in that, knowing they will be the first and the last.
"No thanks. Like I said keep it moving. I don't feel like fighting today. I have a long drive ahead of me and I'd like to keep blood of my clothes." I say still in a bored tone. This man thinks he can intimidate me but he's yet to learn who I am. I may not be able to shift into my wolf but I can still have Athena's power to fight in human form.
"Fight? This girl thinks she can take us on lads. How 'bout that?" They chuckle making comments here and there.
"Sab, what's going on?" Josey asked standing beside me.
"This wrinkle of a ball thinks he can take my innocence. What do you say? Athena wants to play. I take 3 you take the other 3?" I ask and Josey smiles.
She knows I need to spill blood to feel better. My wolf needs this.
She nods her head in agreement as she sets the snacks in the car before coming back to stand next to me.
"How about we time this? 30seconds?" She asks with a grin plastered on her face. I send her an even bigger one.
"30 seconds baby. Let's do this!!" I say out loud while getting in position. Letting my claws out.
"Oh, two for one special boys!! It is our lucky day today. We get the girls and the car. Sweetest!" Mr. Ring leader says. Oh, I'm starting with him...
I release my power to full Max and so does Josey, making them stop their useless jokes and comments and look at us in awe. Not wanting to waste any more time I run to big mouth and jump over him only to pull his head from his body in less than a second. I look at the rest of them, looks of horror on their faces. Josey takes this as an opportunity to take down the other three as I run to the others. I tried to not get any blood on me but we are animals after all though daddy taught us to clean after ourselves so I took a barrel, from I don't know where and threw in all their limbs and heads into it and set it alight.
This was much needed. My wolf was satiated for now. We felt alive. She could relax in the back of my head relishing in the success of a kill.
"Come on Josey, let's get going before Max sends a search party after us" I say as I start the car to drive off. Josey climbs in the car with a new shirt on and looks at me wrinkling her nose.
"I'll change when I get to Max's ok?" I say leaving no room for a response.
I just need to drive. Just drive Sabrina.
--------------------------
We drive into Max's driveway. There were guards everywhere. Lycans don't play around with security detail. Even Max travels with 20 guards at least, even though he could fight a hundred wolves alone, it's their way of life.
I step out of the car to smell the fresh air. It always rains at the Forrest Pack lands. I loved it, it was a refreshing scent that made me want to shift into my wolf and run in the woods.
"Good evening, ma'am. I am Sir Albert Chambers and I am the head butler at your service." He says with a curt nod in my direction. He looks at Josey and says the same thing.
"It looks like you all went hunting before your arrival? He says appalled by the amount of blood all over the car and us. Well mostly me since I didn't change. I will have Evelyn and Margery escort you to your rooms and help you freshen up before dinnertime." Albert says looking us up and down. He was human. A human butler?
"Oh Albert, quit being so formal with them. This is Sabrina and Josey. They are family. Hello my beautiful daughters...he pauses. Taking us in. See, this man loves beauty. If you are a woman and you catch his eye? He will try and most times successfully bed you. Except for my mom and boy he won't let my dad forget it. As if on que, "Wow and here I thought Kimberley was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen but of course her daughters had to outrank her. It is only fair it be her two girls" Alpha Deacon said.
"Uncle Deacon, it's been forever. You really don't age" I say
"Oh, little moon, I am after all Lycan. Besides our good looks, we are given the gift of time. When you look at this handsome face and killer bod as you kids call it these days, you'll think I couldn't be over 40 but in reality, I'm only 450years of age." He says with a smirk.
"Uncle Deacon! You are centuries old!! " Josey says shock written all over her face.
"Now who are these things that call you by your name Alpha?" A red-haired woman walks over to Deacon looking at us in disgust.
"Now now Celine. Just because I shove my dick inside you from time to time doesn't give you the right to walk around my home and disrespect my guests. You are my whore, know your place." Uncle Deacon says looking ever calm. Void of any emotion but his tone suggested otherwise.
"I'm sorry girls, forgive her. You are aware of the term dick whipped? I make sure my women never leave my chambers unsatisfied but it seems I've done my job a little too well. Somebody is getting Luna ideas but not to worry, I will deal with her. You two go freshen up. Max is training but he will be here shortly." Deacon says forgetting we are all but 16 and 15. Shaking my head we follow Albert who shows us to our rooms where Josey is right opposite me.
"This is master Maximus floor. He apologizes for not being able to welcome you but will be home soon. Please take rest and I will ring you at me" he nods at us and walks away.
I look at Josey who just shrugs and walks into her room, closing her door before saying anything to me. Oh well.
I open my door to see my bags placed at the closet door. My windows are all open, just how I like it and my balcony door too. The smell of rain overtaking the entire room, just how I liked it. Max remembered. I smile to myself as I walk to the bathroom to wash off all the blood and dirt. This is the pack that will take me in, Alpha Deacon knows this could mean losing Blue Moon pack as an ally but he doesn't need them anyway. If we're being honest, Blue Moon needs Alpha Deacon's pack more than anything.
I shred my clothes and jump in the shower. Washing off all the red from my body. I got out drying myself with a towel. I put on some lotion and my good girl perfume, dried my hair and let the curls settle in. Went to my suitcase to get a maxi dress out to wear for dinner. In the meantime, I'll just wear my grey sweatpants and matching crop hoodie. I'll take a nap before Max arrives because I know we won't be getting much sleep. He's the only one that's seen my wolf except for my family. He and Alpha Deacon know our secret. They don't believe we should be in hiding, in fact, they think it's crazy that a power so great should be hidden. Alpha Deacon let us me run in my wolf on his land around his property. I feel free when I'm here... I drift off to sleep soon as darkness takes me in and I go in willingly...
