Freya’s pov
Why on earth did I speak up? I should have acted all confused and not said anything.
I can feel his gaze on me even now. He has been following me around all day.
“I can’t believe that he is here watching us practise,” Mary said with a small giggle.
“I am sure that he is here for you,” I added, and she looked at me, blushing.
“Keep it down,” she said, and I just shrugged at this.
“He is far away from us, he can’t hear us, so we don’t have to worry.” I pointed out to her, acting like a typical human who knows nothing.
I watched how she nodded, and we continued with training.
It seems like my plan to infiltrate their friend circle will be easier than I thought. Niall seems to like me, and Mary seems to like being worshiped and complimented.
The only problem will be the Alpha Prince.
How on earth did this even happen?
How is it even possible?
There are a million people in this world, and out of all of them, how did I end up as his mate? Will he keep this up until I accept his rejection?
But from what I know, I don’t need to accept his rejection. I just need not to say anything.
Then why the hell did I say something?
Why did I reject his rejection?
This will only make things worse for me, or not.
Being the mate of an Alpha Prince doesn’t sound like such a bad deal. It might come in handy one of these days.
I don’t think it's ideal, but at the same time, I can use this to my advantage.
I don’t know what to do about any of this. I know for certain that I don’t want to be his mate, but at the same time, it feels like fate. His power and influence could help me in my case.
He has already made up his mind to reject me, so it’s not like I can use the mate bond against him.
If he didn’t have any intentions of rejecting me, then maybe I could have.
It’s obvious that he doesn’t like humans and just like most werewolves sees us as inferior. Then what do I do?
I looked up, and he was still staring at me.
“You should ask him out,” I suggested to Mary, whose eyes went wide.
“Why would I ask him out?” She asked, her voice shaking.
“He is semi-attractive, and you are very beautiful. I think you should go for it. The two of you would make a cute couple.” I explained, and she blushed.
I couldn’t see much of the Alpha Prince’s expression, but this should keep him from suspecting me.
I think a part of me didn’t want to accept him as my mate because I could see it. There was suspicion in his eyes from the very first time we met. It feels like he is trying to look into my soul or that he has and knows all my secrets. Even back there when I rejected his rejection, something about the way he looked at me told me he suspected me of something.
I have already caught his attention. It wasn’t my intention, but what is done is done.
I can actually use this mate bond to keep myself safe from him.
I am going to be really careful from now on, but I can use this mate bond to protect myself. If he finds out the truth, then I can simply use the mate bond to bend him to my will.
As long as I am his mate, I have some kind of control over him.
He didn’t want to admit it, but I could see that I had some kind of effect on him.
This mate bond will be my trump card in this situation.
“We are having a first-day party in the forest on Friday. Get your outfit ready.” Mary said to me, and I nodded.
Look at that, all I did was suggest that she go on a date with the hottest guy in school, and I am already invited to a party.
“Mary, you can’t invite her to that party. It’s for pack members only, and you can’t make these decisions alone. You need to talk to Niall.” Ashley pointed out. She looked at me and then sighed. “I don’t have anything against you, but there are just places you can’t go and things you can’t know.”
Just judging from her tone, I can tell that she has something against me. But I put on my best smile and then looked at Mary.
“Thank you for the invite, but I really don’t want to impose.” I said, and Mary shook her head.
“Don’t mind her, I will talk to Niall about it, and I am sure that he won’t mind.” She said, and I smiled at this.
“Really? Are you sure that it’s okay?” I asked her and she nodded with a smile.
“Of course, it’s okay, we would love to have you join us.” Niall said as he was running towards us.
I watched how Ashley frowned as she looked at me, but then sighed.
She has a thing for Niall, which is why she hates me.
I looked at Mary, and she thinks she is better suited for an Alpha’s son, which is why she has her eyes on Andrew.
After practice, I went straight home since I knew my Dad would want to know about what happened. I won’t tell him about being Andrew’s mate because it would just worry him for no reason.
“So that is all that happened?” He asked me, and I nodded.
“Well, it sounds like so far things are going well. But you need to somehow get Ashley on your side.” He explained, and I nodded.
We had dinner, and I walked up to my room and took a quick shower.
As I walked back into my room, I found Andrew lying on my bed like it was his own. He looked up at me, his eyes scanning my body since I was only in a small towel.
Well, is this how he wants to play?
