ALPHA JASON'S MATE - Chapter 127: Chapter 127

Bella POV
It was the day of the barrel festival; we gathered early in the morning to pray to the goddess. I was happy that the students agreed to my plan even Emilia.
They were included in some of my dance classes, and we had fun. A few of them couldn't dance so I told them not to join.
After prayer, I walked into my room to change into the festival gown. I walked out when I was done putting on my clothes then I walked to the students who formed a line.
"Here is what you are going to do," I said. "Once the drum begins, you all will move."
I smiled and began to give them numbers.
"Write your names here," I said.
"Luna, aren't you following us?" A cute soul asked.
"I won't be able to follow you because I have been assigned another task by the Alpha," I said.
The students nodded their heads and promised to be well-behaved. I waited till the drum started playing and they went out.
"Great job, Luna," I heard. It was Catherine.
We hugged then she asked me some questions. I walked into the kitchen to check on the food that was prepared.
The barrel festival would take a long day.
"Bella!" I felt Samantha's warm embrace.
I knew that she was happy, knowing that she was going to attend the festival.
Minutes later, the food was done and I waited for them to take the barrel out. I instructed them on where to put it.
"Let's go, join the festival," I said, holding both Samantha's and Catherine's hands.
"What about Alpha Jason?" Samantha asked.
"Busy with my mate," Catherine said and Samantha nodded.
We walked out of the pack house and I smiled when I saw the students dancing.
"You really did a good job by adding this to their activities," Catherine said.
We continued watching them dance as we walked to take our seats. We were busy discussing when Jason arrived with Max.
"Our Alpha," Samantha said. "Over there."
I looked at Jason who looked flawless. He radiated excellence, authority, and intelligence.
I couldn't help but smile.
Catherine noticed this and told me to go to him.
I got up to my feet and looked at Catherine before walking to Jason. Jason raised his hand up immediately when he saw me, and he kept speaking with Max.
"I think he is busy," I said when I got to take a seat.
Catherine touched my cheek playfully.
We sat, watching how everything unfolded.
Soon, Philip mounted the stage and I saw that everywhere was full. It wasn't the whole pack but it was large.
"I would like to invite Alpha Jason and Luna Bella forward," he said.
I got up and walked forward. Jason also walked forward.
"I would also like to invite Beta Max and his mate forward," he said.
They sat beside us, and I looked at Samantha at the back, who was beaming with a smile.
After the introduction, the drums were played as we were all served a drink then Jason gave a speech welcoming everyone to this occasion.
There was a new event that was added and it was fun.
Towards the evening, everyone was served again and the students were called to dance and did it excellently.
"Luna Bella, we request that you give us your speech," I heard and walked out.
I appreciated everyone for being present and waiting till now.
"I would also like to thank the students for their excellent performance. They are from Oak Pack, but came here to study for a while," I paused. "They came to learn about this pack."
Everyone clapped.
I also appreciated the Alpha, Max, and Catherine.
Everyone clapped as I ended my speech.
The drum rolled around I felt happy as the students danced.
"You did a good job," Jason whispered to me.
"It's because of you," I said, smiling.
How would I have taught them how to dance if Jason didn't want it?
"I would give you some money to keep for me," he said and looked away.
A smile formed on my face as I remembered that I was his treasurer. He wanted me to put what I had been learning into practice.
We continued watching what was happening.
A drama was played and everyone watched.
We only watched dramas on our phones and on occasion.
Food and drinks were served as we were watching the drama and I knew that the program was about to end.
"Alright, we have come to the end of the program. We would call on our Alpha to bless us,"
Jason rose up and blessed everyone.
As the program ended, people were told to take whatever they liked from a barrel. I got up and was about to leave when Jason spoke up.
"You are going to escort the students to the guest house," I nodded.
"Bella!" I heard and turned back thinking it was Samantha, but to my surprise, it was my mother.
We hugged and she promised to come to the pack house tomorrow. She asked about Jayden and left.
Samantha walked up to me with Philip who greeted me.
"Today's event was fun," she said and hugged me.
"I need to take the students to the guest house," I said and they nodded.
I walked to the students and saw that a few of them were already sleeping.
"Students, come with me to the guest house," I said.
The few who were asleep were woken by their mates and I walked them to the guest house after they drank some water. After that, I went into the pack house and then to Jayden's room. He was sleeping.
I took in a deep breath and switched off the light before going to my room.
"You are back," I heard Jason say in the dark and switched on the light.
"Yes, I am,"
I walked to the bed and was about to climb it when Jason held me up.
"Let's sleep while holding our hands,"
I nodded and he walked to turn off the light.
