Chapter 18- Frenemies

I sat outside on the bench under the biggest tree, wiping away the traitor tears. Swinging my legs back and forth while looking up at the sky with closed eyes, I tried to erase Daniel's rejection, but it only hurt more.

"What's wrong with you?" Linda's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Nothing," I said as I harshly wiped my face.

"Girl, I may not like you, but you're my Luna and I'm also a female. Which means, that I might understand your feelings... so spill bitch," she said as she took a seat next to me. I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled to calm my breathing a bit.

"Daniel thinks I have a boyfriend who I still keep in contact behind his back and he is turning away from me. He's such an idiot..." I breathed out.

"I see..." Linda started. "Well, in my point of view, you can do one of two things. You can either fuck him-"

"Wha-"

"Or you can make him jealous." I turned to look at her with interest as to what she had to say.

"You have my attention..."

"It's easy. You flirt with another guy and Daniel will realize what a big dumb-ass he's being and he'll come running right to you," she finished.

"Why are you doing this? I thought you hated me..."

"Yeah. I still do, but... you're not as bad as I thought you were and I know how being rejected feels like." For once, I felt empathy for Linda.

"I'm sorry," I softly spoke.

"It's not your fault, bitch," I could tell she called me that in a twisted friendly way and I smiled.

"Are you sure it's going to work?" I asked hesitantly.

"Of course it's going to work, but you need to also be a bitch," she said.

"How?"

"Well, don't be nice and instead you turn away from him."

"Oh, okay."

"Now all we need is someone you can flirt with."

"But who?"

"Chloe! My secret babe, I've been looking all over for you!" Linda and I made eye contact with a smirk in acknowledgement as Nathaniel came closer.

"Nathaniel, I need a huge favor from you," I said.

"Woah, babe. I would have wanted dinner first, but if you're ready, I'm not one to complain," he said with a wink.

"No, ew. Really Nathaniel?" Linda rolled her eyes and smacked his arm.

"Oh, you want to join in? Wow, Chloe, I never took you for the kinky type, but don't worry... I like it," Nathaniel smugly replied with a wink and a smirk.

"Would you stop thinking sexually for a second and listen to me?" Linda interrupted.

"Okay, fine. What do you want?"

"We need you to help Chloe, make Daniel jealous," Linda explained. Nathaniel turned to look at me with an are- you- crazy-? expression.

"Did you not hear him warning me about pulling something on you just today?" He asked.

"Please..." I begged and I made sure to use the puppy-dog eyes. He sighed and ran his hand over his face.

"What's in it for me?" He finally asked.

"Chloe is going to flirt back with you," Linda offered.

"It's the only time that's going to happen," I butted in.

"That and you have to be my personal assistant for a week," Nathaniel bargained.

"Fine," I huffed and he smiled.

"Then you got yourself a deal, but if he fucking tries to kill me, I'll lie and tell him you sucked another type of banana with me and then, you go down with me."

"Ew, okay."

"Finally, you morons," Linda spoke up. "Chloe, be as much of a bitch as you can."

"Okay," I replied hesitantly.

"That involves cursing," she said and I winced.

"Wait. Have you ever even cursed ?" She asked.

"What? Pft, yes I have." She raised and eyebrow at me.

"No, no I haven't."

"Okay, practice," she said and both Nathaniel and her stared at me with crossed arms. Nathaniel held nothing but a a promising smirk that said he would laugh.

"No, I'll just do it when the time is right."

"You aren't losing your virginity with me yet, Chloe, you're just cursing," Nathaniel said while rolling his eyes. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because it feels wrong."

"I'll help you make it feel right."

"No, ew stop."

"C'mon say one word, just one,"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because... no"

"Why?"

"Because I don't fucking want to, damn-it!" My eyes widened in surprise and Nathaniel smiled at me.

"That always works," he beamed.

"Okay, morons. Time to flirt."

Nathaniel and were in the massive living room, We chose it because it was so big, it created an echo the made it easier for people- Daniel- to hear us.

"So, babe," Nathaniel started. "There's this place downtown I want to take you to." I was absolutely unsure of what to say; he made everything sound so sexual... was he even trying to?

"That sounds interesting..." I said with the most flirtatious tone I could muster up. Apparently, it worked because Nathaniel winked at me.

"You bet," he said.

"What should I wear?"

"I would prefer nothing, but something casual yet fancy. Nothing expensive, your clothes will end up on the floor anyway," he responded in a deeper voice. If it weren't for the fact that Nathaniel had a different scent to let me know that he wasn't my mate, I would have thought that I was talking to my Daniel instead of his twin brother. "What do you say, babe?"

"ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!!" Daniel roared as he marched downstairs. His eyes were terrifying and his whole body was tense. His glare was directed at Nathaniel, who by the way was shaking in fear. "She belongs to me and I fucking warned you about it," His tone was strained and every word felt like a cut to the skin. Even I shivered at his words. He walked towards Nathaniel like an animal stalking down its prey. I rushed towards Daniel and touched his chest with my hand.

"Stop," I whispered. "We need to talk. He's only doing this because I asked him to." Daniel looked down at me and I felt his body start to relax.

"Is this what you do? Flirt with guys back in your old pack and even here with my own brother?" I stared at him in desbelief.

"You know what, Daniel? Just because you have a dick, doesn't mean you have to act like one. I am fucking tired of your attitude and you need to change that. We're going no where and we won't have anything if you don't trust me. Stop giving me shit, I'm you're mate and you need to respect that." My voice became softer,"There is no one else but you Daniel. Why can't you see that? Yeah, I admit it was my fault and a very idiotic move for lying to you about asking about my 'boyfriend', but it was only because I was jealous and hurt. You actually went as far as having sex with someone else and- it hurt, Daniel. I'm sorry for talking to you this way and disrespecting you too, but I needed you to understand me." His eyes soften and he cupped my face with his hands.

"No, Chloe, I'm sorry. I fucking love you and I'll be damned if I lost you for my stupid actions. I was stupid and made a lot of mistakes to which I regret and will keep as a burden for the rest of my life, but you... You aren't a mistake or a burden and I was a huge asshole for treating you like that. It won't happen again, I promise. Will you forgive me, Chloe?" His lips were centimeters from my own as he slowly brushed them against my lips and I smiled.

"Yes." And his lips met mine.

"Wow." I had forgotten he was in the room and I raised my hand then flipped him off with Daniels lips still attached to mine, to which I heard him proudly respond with a, "That's my girl."
