Be My Mate

Josey's POV

Blinking away the tears as I hear someone coming.

Mother walks in, holding a blood bag. I raise an eyebrow at her and she just shrugs, handing it to me. I place the bag beside me, not really in the mood for food.

"My two girls, both at a crossroad. I hate seeing you two like this." She says to me as she fiddles with my curls.

"I'll be fine mother." I say. Did I believe it? Don't think I was convincing enough.

"When I had to talk to Hunter about you, before I could finish my sentence he was out the door. For months he wouldn't talk to me." Mother tells me and I look up in to her eyes.

"He could not understand how I could be with another man and have something to show for it, you. He went on and on about how he stayed true to me because I gave him hell for being with other women before me. Now I was the hypocrite." Mother says and I start to cry.

"I... I did not do anything with Cayden, my vampire just wanted him. Nothing had happened.....yet. I killed him that stupid vampire king! I killed him, was that not enough!?." I say through sobs. Not wanting to mention that Hunter had every right to be upset.

"Men hate it when their egos are bruised and your mates are still kids. You just need to force them in to a conversation. Tell them they can either talk to you and treat you as their mate or you'll leave to go start your own vampire community." Mother says to me and I chuckle at the last part.

My wolf would never allow that.

"Come stay with us, in the heavenly realm. You are welcome up there. Time flies there and I'm sure you'll make some good friends while you're there. Maybe a little training too? Wouldn't it be nice if you could come and go as you please?" She asks and I nod my head yes as I wipe the tears away.

"I'd love that. The twins put their beta in charge, didn't even bother to trust me with the job of taking care of the pack. I saved that pack, my family saved them. I just, I just want some damn acknowledgment." I say and mother pulls me in for a hug.

"Women are often overlooked in terms of alpha business. Not all of us are lucky like Sabrina, who controls all wolves." I say in frustration.

"Sabrina has her own problems Josey. She's about to find out that she can't be with Xander anymore if she wants to be the moon goddess." Mother says to me and I gasp, pulling away from her embrace.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I saw it in one of the elders thoughts. She has a true mate Josey, I may come off as insensitive but earthlings are beneath the werewolves in the heavenly realm. Xander will never be accepted as her mate and if Sabrina does not end it with him, his life will be in danger. Don't just assume it is only our family that can come and go as we please on earth. Every god in that realm can and if they won't accept Sabrina keeping Xander as her mate, they will force her in to letting go." Mother tells me and I stand up.

"They could kill him?" I ask as I start to panic.
