Once My Mate, Always My Mate
Chapter 7- Hear Me Out

Sabrina’s POV

"You do realize the realm needs an heir and if you break up with Aiden,there might just be an uproar. You could release a world of chaos andwe will not be able to contain it... Why would we? You would bechanging everything." My mother says to me as I try to enjoy breakfastwith my family.

"You do realize mother, that Sabrina was made the moon goddess notyou, and maybe just maybe, the ones that chose her were aware of howshe may change things and that this is what they wanted? Maybe wedo need a new world order." Josey tries to defend me but that justangers mother even more.

"l will not listen to you. You are an earthling and you have no businessinserting yourself into these matters. Don't you have a little vampirekingdom to build with that villainous boyfriend of yours?" Motherretorts, earning a few ahh and oohs at the table.

"Well, ouch. Also, I am as much an earthling as you are, mother!" Joseytries to fight back and I give her the look.

"No, I am half a god but you, my dear, have barely enough godlikeDNA to consider yourself one of us. Sit this one out, Josey." My motherresponds to Josey's powerless response.

"I have enough DNA to come here as I please and my blood relation toboth Sabrina and Anthony give me as much right as you. I would alsolike to remind you that I helped your twins clean up the mess you madewith the vampire king you call my villainous boyfriend, so much so thatI became the horrid blood-sucking demon we all were once disgustedby, which could all have been avoided if you did not run away fromyour problems or any responsibility, say, raising your kids, any of them...I have earned my permanent residency thank you.” Josey responds andAnthony walks into the room just in time to interrupt the lovelydialogue we had going.

"As much as I was enjoying the growing argument that was about toturn ugly, I mean, the insults that were brewing in mother's head forone... Anyway, Sabrina, we need you quickly.” Anthony says to me and Ilook at him annoyed. He just walked in here to grab me away fromwhat was to be the most entertaining breakfast drama I have had sincethe beginning of time.

"I think I will walk with you, Sabrina. Don't want the queen of the realmto banish me away to the one realm she was bullied out of.” Joseystands up and I do too.

"Seems to me you have adopted my trait of running. The apple doesnot fall too far... It skipped Sabrina and Anthony but it sure as hell gotyou." Mother says to Josey before drinking her coffee. Josey huffs herway out of the kitchen and I roll my eyes as Anthony and I walk outtogether.

"You want to tell me what brought that on?" My twin brother asks me."Mother is upset with me," I say and he nods his head.

"Would that be because you plan on canceling sacred law for yourself?"Anthony says and I feel as if he was coming for me with that response."First of all, I am doing it for myself and I will tell you why," I say to him.Josey stops walking until we catch up to her, so she can be a part ofthis conversation.

"With the job I have, I need peace in my home. I will spend many yearsfighting off the bad and the ugly... I don't want to fight anything in myhome. I have had to deal with the bullshit from many of the men in mylife, including the fact that Hunter was not there to raise me himself, Iwill now get to decide which man I get to spend the adult part of mylife with. In fact, I plan on changing a lot more than my chosen matestatus... I will be making new rules when it comes to the mate bond andwhat that entails for the female wolf. Since the beginning of time, wehave had to deal with male wolves parading their dicks for the world tosee, even before they met their mates. They don't get treated as harshlyas the girls who don't save themselves for their mates, instead, they arepushed to explore... All in the name of having fun. That stops with me."I say, Anthony stops walking to let what I just said marinate in him asJosey and I walk on.

Josey nods her head in approval as a smile forms on her face.

"What do you mean that stops with you?" Anthony asks, finally catchingup to us. We make it to my office, where father sat comfortably on mychair and a stressed-looking Aiden stood next to him.

"Respecting and obeying sacred law means saving yourself, first andforemost. That means all parties must adhere to that, not just thefemale wolves. We are taught to have this need to replace our mates sobad, to want that over anything else so why do the boys get to go outand bring about dirty little cocks while we stay pure? If the man wantsto play around, then let the women too. It is either the men, will respectthe law and save themselves or everyone else goes about life as theyplease and live free of any scrutiny or judgment from their packs. I wantto diminish any and all of that old life wherein females have to carrythemselves a certain way when the men act like a bunch of animals. Nolonger will the women be forced to limit themselves, let us all bebarbaric.” I say and Josey snickers, my father looking on in horror."Better yet, why not make the men mate for life with whomever theychoose to sleep with first. Drunken mistakes will tie you down for life.Teach them a little lesson as playing with sacred law." Josey says to meand I chuckle.

"I'm afraid we have more pressing problems than boys swinging theircocks around." Says Aiden.
