Jax drives furiously to Sarah’s apartment, swearing to make her life miserable if she is the actual culprit. Luckily, she is at home with Freya, the girl that Conrad was talking about. Jax finds it weird that Freya and Emily are familiar with each other, what intrigues him most is that they’ve been keeping their friendship a secret. No one knows that they are close friends.
The moment Freya sees Jax, her heart drops. She knows that something must have gone wrong. She looks nervously at Sarah who gives her a signal to stay calm and not say anything out of context.
“Good day, Alpha Jax,” Sarah and Freya chorus together.
“Yes, good day. Sarah, I want to apologize first for how things turned out on the day of our supposed wedding.”
“I understand the situation perfectly, Alpha, that’s why I’m not complaining about it,” Sarah lies. She has been thinking of what to do to change his mind and marry her again.
“Although there is a different reason why I’m here,” Jax says calmly.
Freya begins to fidget, knowing too well that Jax might be suspicious of them now.
“I hope we are not in big trouble,” Sarah laughs. she’s not nervous at all, she feels that she has a good way of covering up her actions.
“You might be in trouble if you’re guilty of the crime.”
“What crimes?” Sarah asks suspiciously.
“That day you accused Emily of using that potion on Regina. You’re the one that even directed us to search Emily’s purse…”
“That’s because I saw her when she did it,” Sarah interrupts immediately.
Jax glares at her, “Can you allow me to complete my sentence first? or do you want to accept that you were conniving with a crazy man to humiliate Emily?”
Sarah is now surprised to hear that there is a man involved. Could this man be the villain she has been looking for?
“What man are you talking about?”
“Stop lying about it, Sarah. There is no way you could have been certain that Emily did that if it’s not your manipulation, say the truth now!”
“I’m sorry alpha but I do not know what you’re talking about. Even if you drag me out to punish me severely, I’ll stand on my truth. Emily is a hideous person and her actions cost her a deserving punishment, anything aside from that is completely unknown to me.”
Jax sighs. There is no reason for him to be here anymore, Sarah is adamant that she’s innocent. He simply turns back and leaves.
Freya lets go of her breath, and she and Sarah sigh in relief.
“Sarah, we were almost caught,” Freya exclaims.
“We won’t be caught unless someone among us spills the tea. Listen to me carefully, Freya you have to keep your mouth shut. Don’t say a word,” Sarah warns.
Freya is still shaking visibly but nods.
Jax returns to the pack house, his face is down and sad. He meets with Louis who is sitting with Conrad now.
“Louis told me about what is going on, how could you keep such an important conversation from me?” Conrad scolds softly.
“I wanted to confirm something first, I’m sorry for not letting you know earlier.”
“Jax, do you have any lead?” Louis asks curiously.
“They don’t know anything,” Jax replies.
“Who are they?” Conrad asks.
“Sarah and Freya.”
“Hold on, what is Sarah and Freya doing together?” Conrad asks.
“I was contemplating the same thing, it looked odd to see them together as friends.”
“I think I have an idea,” Conrad says.
He already knows that Sarah is the culprit but without proof, there’s nothing he can do about it. Since Freya and Sarah are connected, it means that Freya must know what is going on.
He texts Freya to meet him at the garden at night, he sets the voice recording when she arrives.
“Freya…”
“Why do you want to see me?” she asks hastily. If Sarah discovered that she sneaked in here, she’d murder her.
“Are you scared?” Conrad asks softly.
“No, I’m not…” Freya lies but her trembling lips expose her. Conrad can tell that she is terrified.
“Is it Sarah that’s making you scared?”
Freya melts in shock, “How did you know that I and Sarah are friends?”
“Alpha Jax.”
Freya sighs, the alpha is still on their neck because of the case that’s going on.
“I’m not scared, okay? Why do you want to see me?”
“I have a lot of things that I want to talk with you about, but it seems like your name has been painted badly at some place and you have to clear it.”
“Clear my name? what are you talking about?”
“I know a lot of things that you’ve done with Sarah, she is the culprit that almost ruined Regina and blamed it on Emily. You know about this yet you prefer to connive with her.”
Freya’s heart sinks badly inside, knowing that she’s dead if she spills the tea. She has to keep her shut and deny the urge to say the truth, but how can she when her body is already shaking badly?
“I… don’t know… what you’re… talking about?” she stammers, her palms sweating profusely.
“Stop denying it dammit! Stop protecting Sarah …”
“Tell me why I should stop protecting her! When I was a nobody, Sarah acknowledged me and accepted me. After finding out that we’re mates, I thought that my life would change for the better but instead, you rejected me because of Emily. Sarah is the only one who has tried to get rid of every obstacle stumbling in our paths.”
Tears drop down from her eyes but Conrad is not bothered about her tears, he only wants the truth.
“So you’re admitting that you and Sarah planned this?”
“Yes and we are planning so much more, it’s only a matter of time before we achieve our plans.”
“Arrest her!” Conrad yells.
Pack warriors emerge from dark corners and grab Freya’s arms, she’s shocked that Conrad had planned this.
“You betrayed me?”
“I never liked you, Freya. It’s disgusting to see that you’re going to any extent to make others miserable, you have to pay for your crimes.”
“I’m sorry, Conrad,” she cries.
“Prepare some warriors, we are going to arrest Sarah.”
They mount on their vehicle and drive to Sarah’s apartment. Sarah is eating dinner when she sees the pack warriors emerging from a vehicle, she rushes quickly to Freya’s room.
Freya is not there and her window is open, Sarah immediately understands that she has been busted. Quickly she uses her secret exit code to escape from the back door, it leads her to a tunnel that takes her to a deserted road.
To avoid being followed, Sarah blows up the tunnel. Her apartment is destroyed just as Conrad and the warriors are about to enter.
Conrad is mad that Sarah escaped freely but in his mind, he swears that Freya will suffer the consequences until Sarah is found.
