Be My Mate novel Chapter 37

Sabrina's POV

Aiden?

"Aiden?" I ask out loud this time, Evan sending a smile my way.

"Well, who else? He is the only one carrying enough hatred to see this through... and besides, he can't die." Evan says, walking out and leaving us to digest his words.

"I knew it! I could smell him a mile off!" Josey goes, almost too excited about being right. Forgetting that I'm in the room and I just marked this man to be mine for eternity.

This is the man that was made for me and me alone. His entire being was meant to compliment mine, his soul connects only with mine.

Anthony jabbing her with his elbow, almost pushing her over. Quickly realizing how foul her words were, she looks at me sheepishly.

"Sorry." She says, trying to avoid my burning gaze.

"I don't believe it." I say, surprising my family as I hear my mother gasp.

"Why would Evan lie? He's lost everything!" My mother asks.

"Exactly why he would lie. He's got nothing else to lose and saying that name rattled the cage, enough to send us over. I won't believe it." I say, shaking my head no.

"Sabrina, come on. It all makes sense. Your exes alone were attacked, not mine or we weren't. Adrastos was poisoned, yes he is my nephew but he is your son and we all know male wolves don't play step daddy all too well." Josey says to me, remaining quiet, I let her go on.

"Also, I've never seen him with Drastos. I have never heard him talk about him. He leaves this house for hours and comes back as if he's got a job in the mines. Do I need to remind you that your man has no job? where does he go? What is he doing? No come on Sabrina. Yes, you carry his mark but you can't be this stupid." Josey says to me and I growl, making her take a few steps back.

"I refuse to believe it and I know all you would do the same if it was your mate that was mentioned. Don't expect me to think differently. Why would I want to believe that my mate, my true mate would want to harm my son? Knowing that we would have to spend all of our lives together, lives where we can't even die and he does that to me? I refuse to believe that jealousy drove him to the point of no return. No return being the killing of my son or anyone for that matter. Why would he want my child to grow up fatherless? I can understand Xander but Percy? MAX? Come on." I say, tears burning my eyes as they threaten to fall.

I could see the pitiful looks each of my family members was wearing. They all looked at me with such sadness and a little worry, worry for me and my sanity.

"I love that man and there is no way in hell our relationship would be shattered like this. He is my true mate and that means something. Evan is playing dirty and you're all playing right in to his hands." I say, walking out on them and stomping away to my bedroom.

I let the tears fall.

Allowing them to fall this time.... to do as they please, staining my face because even though I refuse to believe what Evan said, it still wrecked me. Josey's words kept ringing in my ears, speaking nothing but the truth but I just can't believe it to be him.

It can never be.

Why would it be true? Aiden is not capable of such and he has said it before, he would never choose such a cowardly way to take someone out.

"Hey, don't listen to Josey. I don't think it's Aiden anyway." Cj comes running to me.

"I refuse to allow myself to believe it. You don't believe it... that's the difference. All fingers point to him, his unknown whereabouts and obvious hate of Xander. Killing my other mates was just a means to an end, I guess cutting the connection but Adrastos? I can't believe that I'm mated to a man so heartless. There is just no way." I say, quickly remembering how I heartlessly murdered his father and brother in front of everyone.

"I'm not here like Josey, so I would not know how he is with Drastos but if he intends on being with you, there is just no way he would do that to you." Cj says to me.
