NINETEEN; MY MATE FOR YOUR MATE

WORD COUNT; 1035 (NOT UPDATED)
JELLAL's POV
Meredy isn't like this before.
She's always smiling. She's the one who always brings up the mood.
But now...
I glanced worriedly at the pinkette's back and frowned.
She had changed.
"We're close. We have to hide." she suddenly declared, keeping her voice low. We all nodded as we spread. Meredy, Wendy, Erza on the trees as me, Gray, and Natsu on the bushes.
We waited and suddenly, we heard voices.
"There's no reason to hide. We can smell a vampire's scent even from a matter of 100 miles." I heard a deep voice said.
"Especially a werewolf's mate." he added. I stood up from my place—the same as Gray and Natsu while Meredy, Erza and Wendy went down from different branches of trees.
"What do you mean 'especially a werewolf's mate'?" Erza asked, realizing what he had just said. The silver haired man—that I assume is Lyon, flashed a small smirk.
"Haven't you even smelled it? I expected vampires to be keener than us." he remarked as his companions—two girls and one man, also flashed him a confused look.
"What do you mean, Lyon-sama?" one of the girls asked—the hair with a darker shade of pink. Lyon narrowed his eyes at some certain way. I followed his line of gaze. Meredy. The two of them glared at each other.
"We're not mates anymore, Lyon." Meredy growled.
"We are mates our whole lives, Meredy. Have you forgotten that I have already marked you? Shall I make you remember how we mated?" Lyon said to Meredy with a sly smirk. Meredy bowed down, unuabling us to see her eyes due to her bangs.
Meredy?
And a werewolf?
"Meredy, is that true?" I asked, not wanting to believe it. Meredy raised her head slightly and looked the ground with a blank stare.
"Yes, it is." she said in an undistinguishable tone. But I wasn't bothered by that.
What I'm bothered is the fact that one so close to me is a werewolf's mate all along.
Is she a spy?
"But I am not here to answer those stupid questions. Let's get to the business, Lyon. Where is Princess Juvia?" Meredy said in a serious tone while glaring at Lyon. I frowned.
Whatever happened to them had caused Meredy to act differently. Oppositely.
Lyon's smirk formed into a thin firm line as he eyed Meredy.
"I had no idea you had such side, Meredy." he commented as the pinkette glared at him more.
"Where is Princess Juvia, Lyon." she growled. Lyon sighed.
"You leave me no choice." he stated before I felt the temperature around us change.
It's cold.
He suddenly turned into a werewolf.
If he's asking for a challenge, then I'll give him one.
I let my canines grow and my eyes a darker shade of brown.
"If a challenge is what you ask, then you shall have one." I growled as he glared at me through his werewolf eyes.
"No, Jellal, you shouldn't—"
"Meredy, stay out of this." I hissed to her, and she flinched at my tone. I never used that to her but this time, she has to stay away for her safety.
"Meredy-san..." I saw Wendy move Meredy away despite her protests and worried glances over the werewolf.
"Gray!" I called my brother out and he went to my side, his canines out and his eyes darker than before. The temperature around us dropped lower and lower—must've been Gray's work.
"So he's the one who has Juvia, huh?" Gray muttered as he eyes Lyon.
"Let us not act harshly, there's others too." Erza stated. I nodded in understanding.
"Lyon-sama! Shall we engage in battle?" Sherry asked, their eyes brighter than before. Their Alpha growled, communicating with them. The man—Jura, nodded and ran away.
"Where the heck is he going?" Gray muttered.
"Backup, I think." Natsu said.
"Jellal, aren't we going to chase him?" Erza asked. I have no idea if I should even be talking to her but this is a different situation.
"If we were you, we wouldn't chase down Jura." Chelia smirked. "He's the most powerful werewolf alive."
"Is that so? Well, we have the most powerful dragon alive." Natsu grinned as flames appeared around and arm that he raised.
"Stop flame-head you're not even a dragon." Gray muttered.
"What? Igneel is a dragon why can't I be?" Natsu retorted.
"That's because it's his ability. That doesn't mean he's really a dragon." Gray defended and they started to bicker. I sighed.
"Will you two stop? We're in a difficult situation and yet you choose to fight each other?" I questioned them as I pulled them apart. (A/N: yep, jellal's going to be the erza in this story lol)
"Hey guys... isn't that...?" Wendy spoke as she pointed at the scene in front of us.
"Juvia!" Gray exclaimed the moment he saw the bluenette carried by Jura on his shoulder. Lyon had already turned back to his human form and had his coat and pants on again—I have no idea when.
Juvia looked unhurt. But she's asleep so I assume they must've drugged her.
"You wanted your mate that much, Gray?" Lyon inquired. "Then what about a trade?" he suggested.
"What do you want, Lyon?" Gray growled.
"I want a girl for a girl." Lyon looked at Meredy and smirked.
"I want my mate for your mate."
