Greenville high was on total lockdown after the whole havoc, everyone feared for their lives and never stepped outside. The disease kept spreading and causing havoc to the society. The council held meetings, discussing possible outcome and cure, but unfortunately, they found none.
Freya was bored of the novel she read. It's been a week that she's been quarantined and she was getting bored of it.
Her phone beeped indicating a message from Vicky.
She typed in some words, and dropped the phone on her the bed. Soon after it rang.
“Hello” Freya pressed the phone against her ears
“Bestie. I've missed you. How's the quarantine doing you. As for me I haven't heard from Carl since” Vicky whined childishly.
“It's good to hear from you. I thought something bad would have happened” I said
“I'm fine, Carl saved me. He's my knight and shining armour” her voice glistening with excitement.
“I see. I tried reaching out to you but your line wasn't going through. Any reasons?”
“My dad confiscated my phone. He saw Carl kissing me after dropping me off, then grounded me for a week”
She stayed quiet and as her best friend rants on.
Freya's door suddenly flung open and Mandy was revealed. She looked depressed and angry.
Mandy held the door open glaring angrily at Freya.
“You witch. What did you do to my daughter?” Mandy yanked Freya who was still on the phone with Vicky. She grabbed her neck collar.
“I didn't do anything” she defended
“Liar. You killed my daughter” she spite tears rolling her cheeks.
Freya was perplexed as to her behavior, she hadn't come out of her room ever since she returned and she reeked. She's guessing she also haven't taken her bathe.
Her face looked cramped, her looked ragged and her hair was all over the place.
“I don't know what you're talking about. Let go of me” she squeezed tighter at Freya's collar.
“If it weren't for you Lily will still be here and alive. You, you caused this, therefore you must pay” she gritted her teeth raising her hands up, Freya closed her eyes and waited for the impact but nothing…
She peeked open to see Mandy’s hand paused in the air, and someone’s hand held hers
“Jason” as soon as the word left her mouth, Vicky who was still on the call said.
“Jason? Why is Jason in your room? Hello? Talk to me Freya” she said frantically
“How dare you raise your voice at my mate” he let out a low growl. Through the phone, Vicky gasped in surprise.
“Jason is your ma….”
“I'll call you later” Freya interrupted, hanging up the call on her.
“Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in my house?” Mandy's voice was hoarsy.
“Don't make me say this again, don't you ever raise your hands on my mate” he warned with intimidation.
Sam barged into the room, and immediately understood the whole situation before him
“Um..honey what are you doing?” He directed to Mandy
She just stayed quiet and glared at Jason, who inturn glared back at her. She lowered her hands and sneered at Freya before walking away, Sam following behind her leaving freya and Jason in her room.
Freya sat awkwardly at her bed while he stood, with his hands crossed.
“Um thanks for..” Freya coughed
“For helping me there” she said not sparing him a glance.
He sighed taking a her study chair, placing it in front of her and sat.
“I'm here for a reason. I'll be very straightforward” he started.
“As you know, my father, the alpha is dead and I am his successor which means, I am the new Alpha. But before I'll be crowned alpha, I must have my mate with me”
“What!” Freya exclaimed
“You heard him right the first time” he said rudely.
“I don't think you understand Jason, I don't want you and I never will” she told but he looked unfazed.
“I know Freya and I'm way ahead of you in this case. I've proposed a deal, we pretend to you until everything dies down then you and I can go separate ways” he said with all simplicity.
“You think this is some romcom book, this is real life and I'm not accepting it. And if you don't have anything else to say, please. Leave”
He sighed and rubbed his temple in frustration.
“Your childish behaviour gives me a headache” he said.
“I need a mate, my people, the pack needs a Luna. What do you expect me to do?” He was pissed
Freya stayed quiet for a moment, she felt hurt In his words.
Jason, on the other hand, noticed this and softened his tone.
“I.. I'm sorry for raising my voice at you.” He apologised and the room fell quiet again.
“You bullied me Jason and here you are, wanting me to be your fated mate”
“I also didn't choose this, if you have an issue with it, speak with the moon Goddess”
“I have, the only option was for you to die”
Jason eyes grew wide and suddenly he cracked up laughing.
“What is funny?” Freya asked perplexed.
“Don't make that face again. You look funny with that expression” Freya face turned red as a tomato and she tried to cover her face with her fluffy white pillow.
“Stop it” she said
“Okay.. I'm sorry, you look cute when you make that face” he said and immediately wished he hadn't said that.
He let out a nervous chuckle and cleared his throat.
“What's it going to be?” His voice return to the cold, icy tone.
“I still stand on my word Jason k****e” this pissed him further but he decided not to react and got up.
“Where are you going?”
“I'm leaving… I'll be back two day time better be ready then”
“You can't force me to be your Luna. I won't”
“I won't force you, you'll voluntarily tell me you want to be my Luna” he smirked.
She let out a scoff.
“That will never happen”
“We'll have to see. Two days better don't get killed” he said before leaving.
