Be My Mate

Chapter 12- The Crying and Crowning 2

Sabrina's POV

The thought of running in to Xander right now was making me sweat. What would I do? What would I say? How would I react to him being with the girl I chose for him?

"Good day. I've been instructed to ask you all to follow me." Saved by a big tall lycan.

We all follow him, as everyone looks around, I avoid it. The faster we get out of this room, the better. I just don't trust myself right now...

Baby girl might just act a fool creating a cringeworthy memory that will forever haunt me. Nobody wants that.

We walk out of the big hall with so many people, the chatter and laughter dying down as the double doors close behind us. We follow big tall lycan for a few more minutes, my head still wrapped up in Xander's scent that I failed to remember how far we have been walking but Arianna's face came in to view, my feet already aching from all that walking.

"Oh thank the goddess!" Uttered Arianna. We all exchanged looks before stopping right in front of the future queen.

"We have received multiple threats. People might look happy and all in that room but there are people unhappy with the new king. Firstly, they say he is not of alpha blood and secondly, they believe he is too young to take the crown. Your brother is in there devising a plan with your father but I had to bring you all for that extra set of eyes and strength." Arianna says and the worry creeps in again.

I was right to worry about Cj.

"Let's get planning then." Hunter says before opening the door and walking in. We all follow him in, with Arianna as the last to walk in and close the door.

"Hey everyone. My mate have you all worried?" Cj says trying to look calm but I saw right through him. Fear of not knowing who was coming for you was something one can't really hide.

"No. We were already worried." Mother says as she pulls Cj in for a hug.

"Now, there is no way we can know who will try to attack my son and we can't all surround him the entire time." My father, Christopher senior says.

"No. We won't be able to tell but we will be close by. If anyone throws a weapon, Josey is fast enough to catch it or move Cj out of the way, also seeing who the culprit was. Sabrina will get a feel for the room once Cj makes his entrance, it will take time but auras don't lie. We have myself and my son Anthony to act as the muscle if needed." Hunter suggests.

The room remains quiet for some time while everyone thinks.

"Arianna, can we not do the thing you did when you hid Sabrina away from that big bad witch? Like disguise Anthony as Cj and Cj as Anthony. It will take a whole lot to kill Anthony. Just for the crowning, where we won't be able to surround Cj. Once he is crowned, they can each go back to themselves." Josey suggests and everyone nods in approval.

"That's genius but the councilmen will need to cut CJ's hand and take his blood. It won't work." Arianna says.

The room falls silent again.

"Then we go out there and get my brother crowned. Look, we don't know who will try to kill you Cj but we are here. We can't surround you but we will be close and if anyone tries anything, we will kill them. They are messing with the wrong family and they will soon learn of us." I say squeezing CJ's shoulder.

"Twin is right. We have the moon goddess, the hybrid, the first son and the werewolf king. If that does not scream power, I don't know what will." Anthony says with his chest raised.

We all nod just in time for the door to open and for Percy to remind CJ that it was time.

"The family can all walk together but CJ will be the last to walk in." Percy says before leaving us.

"Okay. When we all walk in, release your powers for intimidation and assurance of who we are. Cj, I will amplify your power when you walk in to be of a bigger intimidation. It will take a lot for an alpha to cowar away but this is a start." I say and everyone nods in agreement.

We all walk out of the room, followed by four guards. Stopping at the double doors, a guard asks us to stand in line as we will all be called in one by one.

"Introducing the Trent family. We will start with the head, the man that raised and trained our future king, Christopher Trent." They announce and the doors open, guards moving out of the way to let father in.

We watch as he ascends to the the big stage.

"Next we have the matriarch of the family. The queen mother, Kimberely." They announce. Mother walking in with her head held high as she releases her power. We hear loud gasps as people are taken by surprise by her strength.

Oh this gets better.

"Next we have Hunter, of the first family." The announcer says in confusion making us giggle. Dude had no idea what that meant.

Hunter releases his power as he walks in, forcing the wolves inside everyone in that room to kneel. Some tried to fight it but failed miserably as their wolves forced them to the ground.

That's my father!

"We have the siblings, starting from the youngest to oldest. We have Josey Trent. Who was born a few years before our king." He says as Josey releases her power walking in.

People's eyes remain bulged out, even though Josey's power isn't as great as Hunter's, it's damn intimidating. Especially for a young woman.

"Next we have the twins, Anthony and Sabrina." He announces. Anthony walks in first releasing his power which has everyone back on their knees. He winks at me, probably gloating at the fact that they called his name first.

I walk in right after, releasing my power and aura completely. Athena right at the front as she shows her goddess presence through my eyes. People weren't just on their knees now, they were bowing their heads to show respect. The whole room was quiet and Athena was happy at the show of respect, it made her all giddy inside.

I make it to the stage and reel in my power. Everyone relaxes as they stand up, the announcer included.

"You are in every bit Hunter's child." My mother says and I smile. That is true, we were a bunch of show offs, weren't we?...

"Introducing the first king and queen of the werewolf community, Christopher and Arianna Trent." He says, the double doors opening but nobody walking in. Josey hisses before running out in vampire speed to the door.

We all follow her.

Running down the stage in high heels and a long dress proved to be damn near impossible. It was slowing me down but with mother behind me, I'd say I wasn't the only one.

On the floor was Cj, bleeding profusely.

"What happened?" Mother asks as she rushes to Arianna's side, falling to her knees to inspect CJ's wounds.

"The guards. They just attacked out of nowhere, catching us off guard. I reacted as soon as realised what they were doing but it was too late, he is hurt." Arianna says through sobs.

"Oh move over. If this is the worst they can do, then easy shits." I say before laying my hands on Cj to heal him.

"No brother of mine will die on my account." I say before I feel that he is all healed.

I stand up, dress covered in blood and my hands but I pay it no mind. I help my brother up, who looked far worse than he felt with his uniform torn, well the pants were still intact.

"Just go in shirtless. We are werewolves anyway." I say making everyone chuckle. Hunter walks in before us and marches straight to the stage.

"You want to kill your new king? You will have to go through all of us and let me tell you, you won't survive it." Hunter growls out. Anger flowing out of him.. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"I will not have a beta as a king! He is no king I will follow." One alpha shouts out.

"The beta beat you fair and square at the trials." Hunter responds.

"Many of us agree that he can't be king. We didn't come here to bow down to him, we came here to kill him." The guy says as other alphas join him.

"I would love to see you try." Josey says to him.

Within seconds the aura in the hall shifted. Complete animosity filled the room, everyone was an enemy now which made me question if Xander was on our side.

"You can all move aside and let us kill this beta blood or you will all have to go through us." The alpha said, making Anthony and I chuckle.

"You think that scares them?" A voice said from behind the alphas.

The people move out of the way for the guy who said that. Minutes pass before we see who said those words and the guy making us all wait in anticipation, is none other, than uncle Deacon.

"You see, over there on that stage is your worst nightmare. There's one immortal little girl there with the strength of a thousand wolves. I mean how can something so tiny have so much strength? Then we have a werewolf slash vampire, ooh nobody wants that. I mean have you ever fought a vampire? Because those fast little cold buggers are vicious! I don't know about you, but I came here for the king and to drink. I want no part of that action, you can be stupid on your own." Uncle Deacon says before grabbing a drink from the waiters walking around.

I have not seen this man in so long. He winks at us before walking out of the room, clearly wanting no part in that action.

"I agree with my father. The mother of my child stands on that stage and she could kill you all by just raising her hand, I will not be part of this." Max jumps in before walking out to follow his father. Josey growls low enough for the people on stage to hear her pure dislike of Max.

"He did not just call you his baby mama to brag." Josey says through gritted teeth.

"Oh he did." Anthony throws in folding his arms for that added effect.

"What's your plan little alpha? Shift in to a big black wolf and attack?" Mother asks making the alpha laugh.

"Yes, I will shift but so will the entire room. Many alphas stand with me and today you will see just how much." The alpha says, his face running around in my head.

In school, I had to learn of every alpha and his pack so I can better judge them on how they run things. Right now I was coming up blank but he looked familiar..

"You think the numbers scare them little earthling?" Aiden asks as he walks in to the room. My body coming alive at his entrance.

Every nerve in my body was aching for him. My fingers were tingling to reach out to him, my eyes glued to him, taking in his entire frame and only him as his scent took over me. The only scent that mattered, wrapped around me.

"Earthling?" The alpha asks confused.

"That's right. You. Little. Earthling." Aiden says before grabbing the alpha by the neck and snapping it in seconds.

'My man!' Athena says excitedly.

"Now I believe we came here for a coronation but because we are all wolves, what's a little bloodshed? I do believe the event was too human anyway." Aiden says smiling from ear to ear.

The other alphas, horrified at his merciless killing, jumped in on him, which had my body reacting all on it's own as it runs to Aiden's rescue. A hand pulls me away making me growl in annoyance only to be met with the eyes I know all too well.

"Let him be. He killed someone Sabrina, if he dies it's on him." Xander says to me.

The shock does not register yet as my head replays his words.

"You're right, I'll let him be." I say pulling my hand out of his grasp. Xander relaxes and it annoys me.

"Only because he is immortal, like me." I say which has Xander's eyes bulging out.

I jump in to the fight while Xander digests what I just said in time to see Aiden at his beastly best. Completely shirtless, a few scratches on his chest but bodies around him.

We lock eyes as he snaps an alphas head.

I don't know if you know this but when a male werewolf shows off his animal side, it gets me going. It really gets me going.

The whole room goes in to uproar as we are caught fighting different wolves. I can still smell Xander but I'm more confused on which side he's on. I can understand how he'd want Aiden to die but right now, who's side was he on?

The alphas shift in to their wolves as Aiden and I fight them with our backs to each other. Josey jumps in, releasing her vampire on everyone.

One could tell her vampire was having fun as she drained wolf after wolf of blood. Hunter killing off wolves without getting a drop of blood on him and mother? Mother was seated on the stage watching the entire thing go off.

Anthony stood guard of Cj on the stage. Blocking off any attempts at CJ's life. Bodies falling to the floor, easy kills after the other.

I turn around to come face to face with Aiden, we were only inches apart. My breath catches in my throat at the closeness, a fire going off in my body as my body heats up around him.

"If I had a second to spare, I'd kiss you." He says to me.

"Then make the time and kiss me.." I say..

Aiden does not waste time as he roughly pulls me closer by the waist, his claws digging in to me. The fire escapes my body and forms around us as Aiden uses his other hand to pull me closer by the neck before his lips crash on mine.

My whole body erupts in to bliss when our lips touch. Feeling like centuries of longing relieved by just this one kiss and at that point, nothing else mattered. The whole world could end and I'd be okay if we didn't stop.

My whole body melted in to Aiden's, I fit in to him so perfectly.

I submit to him wholeheartedly with this kiss as his tongue takes the lead. My hands grabbing his hair, pulling him closer as if he wasn't and my body ready for him to take me right here, right now. I could hear everything happening around me but it felt like it was all happening so far away from us.

The pure blissful moment is shortlived as Aiden pulls away. My senses slowly returning to me and I do the same, becoming all shy in front of Aiden who could probably smell my desire for him.

"If you both are done sucking each other's faces, we have a coronation to attend." Josey says which has me looking around the room.

The many bodies on the floor, all dead or dying. Cj still intact and standing strong on stage next to Anthony who was smirking in my direction. Although what shocked me was the people fighting in our corner.

The men that risked their lives for my brother to become king.

Maximus stood naked, gashes on his body but still standing tall. Percy, standing just the same.

Xander standing side by side with his new mate, both of them panting and bleeding as they stood before us, naked too.

I did not fail to notice the lack of a mate mark on each of their necks.

Josey's twin mates, standing tall in their wolf forms by Josey's side and Arianna's A sisters standing with their sister to protect her mate. I looked up at Aiden who was already looking at me.

"What a show! This will go down in history as the biggest alpha bloodshed that's ever happened in my lifetime." Uncle Deacon jokes as he walks around the room with father counting bodies.

"We are not finished!" I hiss at Aiden before walking up to Cj.

"You have your work cut out for you as a lot of pack members lost their alphas but I will help. Find loyal subjects that will be the new alphas and I will bless them with the strength of an alpha, creating a new alpha bloodline but first, I will bless you." I say before pulling him down as he was too tall for my hand to touch his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I call on all of you to witness this. I, Sabrina Kimberley Trent, bless the first werewolf king. I give you strength above all alphas and longetivity, to outlive them and making sure you create a kingdom that will stay true and good even after you." I say.

I open the palm of my hand and use my other hand's claw to cut a line through my palm. I grab a cup and let a few drops in it then hand it over to Cj.

"Drink this and you will receive your blessing. This is a new era, a royal bloodline created with my blood. From this day forth, the Trent name will be known as a royal name. A name filled with power and Christopher Trent as the first of many to take this throne." I say before Cj drinks my blood.

Everyone stays quiet as we all watch him drink from the cup. Two black wolves appear, standing on each side of Cj as he gives back the cup.

I turn around to face the small crowd that's left and the bodies stacked on the floor, my dress covered in blood and high heels long gone.

Standing in true wolf fashion, I utter the words the councilmen would've said had they not fled like cowards.

"All hail the new king, blessed by the moon goddess and her subjects." I shout out.

"All hail the new king, blessed by the moon goddess and her subjects." Everyone shouts out in unison.

Josey walks up to me and hands me the crown as my entire family came closer, surrounding Cj and I.

I place the crown on his head as the room erupts in praises and clapping of hands. It was done, my brother was now the new werewolf king.

As we all moved out of the way for Cj to take his first walk as our new king, tears stained my face.

I was overjoyed and overwhelmed.

The battle of belonging, of love and of peace.

We were all fighting an inner war but outside it all, we stood together. It was indeed a new dawn, where my siblings and I take on the world together....

"Amazing... just fucking amazing!" Uncle Deacon shouts out.
