ALPHA JASON'S MATE - Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Bella POV
A scene welcomed me as I got to the kitchen. Two people were arguing.
"Our Luna is here," Theodore said.
They all looked at me and I smiled.
It was a good thing that they respected me.
"What is happening here?" I asked.
The ladies who were finding looked at themselves. None was ready to speak. Samantha walked behind me and asked me why I was here.
My gaze flew to the two ladies and I asked again why they were arguing.
"Luna," one of the ladies who was arguing called. "Who is finer in the both of us?"
She pointed to the next lady.
This made us laugh. People who were also in the kitchen but knew nothing about what was happening also laughed.
I thought it was a real argument and not something like this.
"You are both beautiful," I said. "No one should feel inferior to another."
I kept encouraging them as I deem it fit.
After my speech, everyone bowed as I left.
Samantha caught up with me and we walked together. Along the way, we met Catherine and spoke together.
"Luna, Alpha Jason wants to meet you," a Gamma called.
I took an excuse from both Samantha and Catherine who wore a smile on her lip.
Entering the room, I looked at Jason who was standing by the window.
"Feeling better," I said and he turned to me.
A smile crossed my lips as I saw his attire. Was there an occasion?
"Is there an occasion?" I asked. "Why do you need to dress in this?"
"Bella!" He called and I stopped speaking.
Jason made me recall what we agreed on after the battle. I shook my head and asked him if we couldn't live together in love. He wore a shocking expression when he heard this and spread his hand out for an embrace.
I walked into his arms and embraced him. He rubbed my hair and promised to make himself love me.
If I say that I wasn't sad upon hearing the words, he said, then I was lying, but after all, he wanted to give it a try.
"How are you feeling now?" I asked.
"Better,"
I told him to take the day off his duty. Although he tried to argue with me, saying that he had enough rest and now wanted to come out of the room, I didn't agree, showing my stubborn side.
As a Luna, it was essential for me to take care of the Alpha just as I take care of the pack.
"I would like you to inform Beta Max that you will be spending the rest of the day in the room," I said.
Max didn't go out with us so that he would rest. Jason also needed to rest as the Alpha.
"I get it, but what would I do in the room?" He asked.
I knew that it was a trick for him to go out, and if I ever allowed him to go out, he may head to his office.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want you to take a sit,"
His response was shocking to me but I didn't show it. I sat beside him waiting for what he wanted to do next.
He didn't look at my face. Rather, he bent to pick something from the small cupboard.
"This," he said giving me a small box. "Protect it like your life depends on it."
I nodded and asked him what it was for and why it looked important to him.
"My mother gave it to me. I would have given Laura, but thankfully, she betrayed me quite early," he said, making me laugh.
He got up and walked to the window side.
"Do you know what is happening outside?"
"No, I don't," I said.
I got up to my feet and raised the curtain that was covering the other side of the window. People were jubilating and I was sure that it was because we won the war and nobody got killed.
Two people were injured but none was killed.
"They are jubilating and praising you for making us victorious," Jason said. "The pack needed its Luna to win this battle but I thought that I could do it on my own."
As he finished his statement, I saw a lady raise up a placard. It had my picture on it and I was surprised.
"How did they get my picture?" I asked.
"You are more popular than their Alpha,"
Hearing this, I laughed knowing that he was just being irrational. Who would say that I am more popular than the Alpha, who they have known for ages?
"Dear Alpha, you are laughable," I said and he gave a little laugh.
I asked him why he was in that attire, and he told me to change my attire.
To my surprise, he selected an attire for me but then I remembered what I told him.
"We aren't going anywhere," I said maintaining my stance.
He told me that someone was visiting us from outside.
"She isn't going to take much of our time. Will just be here for a project documentation,"
I smiled understanding that it was a student.
"I will answer all her questions. There will be no need for you to speak unless I can't give her an answer," I said, and he nodded, raising his hands.
My lips curled into a smile as I knew what it meant. Finally, he gave in to me. This would be the beginning of our new relationship.
"Alright, I would get changed," I said.
After changing to the attire that was given to me by Jason, I wore a smile looking at how beautiful and expensive I looked in the gown.
"This is adorable," I said and called Jason out of the bathroom.
I showed him how I looked in the gown and although he still wore his normal expression, I knew that he liked it.
"Thank you," I said, taking a seat on the bed.
