novelxo Chapter 33 I Love You
We had decided to go on a safari trip so we could be one with nature. Shift at night in to our wolves and run around trying to turn a game drive in to a game run.
To see a lion up close but to not try and scare the elephants. I wanted no problems with those giants.
We arrived at the airport. I had asked my grandfather to have the jet ready for us so we didn't have to travel commercial. I wanted Xander to myself from the time we take off, to the time we get back. I got out of my car to see my nana. I had not seen this woman since my mother's burial. I asked her to stay away from me but here we are. I growled in annoyance.
"Hello Sabrina. I think it is time we talked.” She said to me and I rolled my eyes, closed my door and walked past her. I did not want drama, not today. I took out my phone to call my grandfather and ask him why he told this woman I'd be here.
"He doesn't know that I'm here.” She tells me and I stop walking. The weather takes a dark turn. The crystal clear blue skies go grey in a matter of seconds.
I realized my nana was not here to try and fix things.
"You killed Reginald.” She says to me and I nod.
Her wolf growls, not liking my quick answer. Xander walks up to stand by my side.
'l can handle her. You get on the plane.’ I say to X. He reluctantly walks away, taking the last of our luggage to follow the cabin crew.
Everyone had boarded the flight but me. I could see the two pilots in the cockpit.
"What would you have done?" I ask her. She walks up to me and we stand eye to eye, our noses almost touching
“I wouldn't have killed someone's son.” She tells me.
"That son killed my mother while you watched and he brought an army that killed my warriors." I say, getting annoyed with my nana defending her lunatic of a son.
"So an eye for an eye?" She asked me.
"What are you getting at?" I ask, folding my arms for that added effect.
"You killed my son.” She says and I scoff
"The son that you abandoned? The very same son that wanted to use me as a breeding machine?" I ask her.
Was this woman insane?
"This was my chance to make things right. To finally get the chance to be with my son.” Nana says. "He killed my mother before I had that chance to be with her." I say,
"Now, your son was a mental case. There was no saving him." I say, walking away from her.
A black Range Rover swerves up next to us and my grandfather comes running out.
He looks at my grandmother,
"Don't do this. Sabrina has been through enough as it is. She's your granddaughter for goodness sake!" He says and I turn to look at her.
She smiled at me.
"I know I can't kill you, so I'll settle for taking your mate from you. He is an easier kill and you will hurt like I am hurting for Reginald.” She says before the plane exploded from the cockpit, the fire moving fast as it engulfs the plane.
Panic sets in as I look for Xander inside the plane. He's punching the window, trying to fight his way
out before the fire gets to him.
I have a gust of wind throw my nana out of my way and Athena takes control immediately.
All of a sudden, the air changes. Athena's power comes out in waves
I felt different, new.
I centered my energy and raised my hands to call on to the fire. Turning it into an inferno ball, lifting it up from the ground and in to my body. It engulfed me, my whole body covered in fire, sparks flowing through my entire body.
Xander runs out the smokey plane, looking at me. In awe? Surprise?.
Nobody knew I could control fire like this and even I had no idea.
I focused on my center, where my entire energy was stored and I had the fire slowly get absorbed inside. I turned to my nana, thunder rumbling through the clouds to perfectly put to sound my anger.
I started walking towards her. My walk, filled with so much power. I could feel and hear the thud whenever my feet hit the ground. As if a giant was walking.
My nana tried to disappear but Athena anticipated her escape and lightning struck her down. She yelped in pain and a loud, deadly growl came out of me, directed at my nana.
She quickly stood up. I got to her, wrapping my neck around her and I used the fire I absorbed to sleep through my hand and burn her skin before throwing her at grandfather's SUV.
Xander came running at me. For a second, I forgot about nana. Xander had a cut above his right eye. I placed my hand over his wound to heal him, as my nana stood up.
"If I can't kill him, then you leave me no choice. A son for a son then." She says before disappearing. She was going for Adrastos.
"Fuck!" I say before changing in to my wolf and running my way to the pack house. My grandfather and Xander quickly getting in to Xander's car rental to chase after me.
I pushed myself to run faster.
“Dorothy get Max! Adrastos is in danger!!" I say through the link.
It will take me at least 20 minutes to get to Green Forrest.
I kept running and as I moved, the weather took a dark turn, thunder rumbling out now and again as a warning to anyone that would decide to stand in my way.
Dorothy was not responding to my mind links and it was making me nervous. If Dorothy was not responding, that means my son was in danger at this very moment and I couldnt help him
I finally got to Green Forrest, running past the patrol guards who try running after me but failing. "Sabrina, don't kill her. She's just hurt. She won't hurt Adrastos.” My mother's voice shouting in my head.
I ignored it.
If it was any other day, I'd be happy to know she was still present in some way. She was still watching over me but today, her mother had crossed the line and nobody, not one person, threatens my son's life and lives to see the next day.
Drones flying around trying to shoot at me but I'm too fast for them to get a clear shot. The guards don't recognize me and I ask myself why.
I was their fucken luna some fucken months ago
I keep running, nothing could deter me from saving my son's life. Not even the goddess herself.
I had guards up ahead, blocking my way but I had the wind blow them up in the air and threw them down on the ground the second I ran past.
"Dorothy? Answer mel!" I say through mind link but no response.
I keep running until the new pack house comes to view. I run past some cars to see my reflection. I don't stop running but the shock hits me.
I felt different and looked like I was different.
Purple eyes looked back at me. My wolf eyes weren't black anymore, a complete purple covered them. My wolf form was bigger, and my forehead covered in a huge full moon that was purple colored, like a tattoo.
I ran into the pack house in my wolf form and sniffed out my son. His scent had me run in to the dining hall to see Xander, Max's wolf standing in between my nana and Nicole who was holding my son but trying to fight her wolf from shifting.
When I walked in, everyone's attention shifted and they all turned to face me. I couldn't reel my power in. I walk towards my nana, who was looking at me like she's seen a ghost. It now confirmed why I looked the way I did when I saw my reflection.
As I walked, I shifted back to my human self but Athena still in full control. My eyes stayed purple, wolf purple to show Athena's presence.
Around my body sparks were going off with a buzz. The wooden floor cracking when my foot landed on it. Thud after thud, my nana stepping back. The fire I consumed earlier, dancing around me to signify the mighty power that flows in my veins. I was stark naked but my electrified body felt clothed.
My nana tried again to disappear but again, Athena stretched out my hand and the fire in me pulled her back from her invisible orb and down on the ground, burning her skin in the process.
My grandfather and Xander come running in to the dining hall but they stop dead in their tracks when they see me. I kneel down to grab my nana by neck and throw her out through the thick wall. She hits the wall loudly and crashes through it, flying out to the row of parked cars just outside the house
Before she could land on the ground, I travel as fast as the wind a new power that surprises me yet again and grab her by the neck and throw her roughly on the ground.
Straightening my body, I look at everyone. They all followed us outside. Nicole still holding on to my son. I raide my hand and a huge ball of fire comes out my palm and lands on Nicole and Adrastos, covering them like a shield
Athena sees the fire around them and calms down, giving me the power to take control again. "What did you do?" My nana asks struggling to get up as she coughs out blood.
"I became what I was truly born to be. You know what I am don't you?" I ask her and she remains quiet.
"ANSWER ME!!" I shout out and the windows on the new pack house all shatter, forcing everyone to duck for cover except for me and Nicole.
"Yes. I do." She says to me.
"What am I?" I ask.
"It is not my place to say it. I am unworthy. I went against you.” Nana says bowing her head.
" have a full moon on my forehead. Do you know what that means?" I ask again and she nods. "Well?" I ask.
"You are royalty.” She says and I chuckle.
"What am I to you?" I ask and she looks down quickly.
"I can't say. I am unworthy.” She says.
I walk up to her and grab her by her clothes and throw her at my grandfather's feet.
I raise my hands and let all my power out. My new power.
I was Sabrina 2.0
I was Athena 2.0
Lightning struck five times around me making everyone move back. It started to rain everywhere around me but not on me, not on Nicole or Adrastos.
They remained untouched thanks to that inferno.
"I am your goddess. That is why we went up to the moon to train. Your moon goddess wanted see who would take after her between Josey and I. She couldn't tell then because even losing my mate or the thought of dying could not unlock my power. The thought of my son in danger unlocked the impossible and now I know why I've struggled to keep a mate. I know why the moon goddess allowed sacred law to be broken twice in my life. Why Percy left me for a simple rogue and why Max did what he did. She wanted me weak, she didn't want the possibility of me ever unlocking the power within if indeed I was the one to dethrone her. It all makes sense now." I say and I turn to look at X.
"What is meant to be, will always be. Just as I found love again, my fate was written in the clouds.” I say smiling. I turn to look at my nana.
"You go up there and tell your sister I'm coming for her. For all that I've been through that she allowed, everything that has happened that she let happen just to weaken me, for every day I spent crying for the neverending heartache I was experiencing. For her, pretending to care about me. She sits on my throne, I want her off of it.” I say and I use my power to throw her high up in the air before she disappears in to thin air.
Xander walks up to me, taking off his shirt and putting it on me.
I reel in my power, which has the fire covering Nicole and Adrastos, disappear.
Everything is different now. I was different now. My whole life I wondered why I was stronger, faster or white but now I had my answers. I finally knew who my true enemy was.
