Rachael's POV'Justin, you are getting married.''Justin, you are getting married.''Justin, you are getting married.''He is getting married.''Marriage.'''Married.''Justin.. a.. a.. wedding.'These words wouldn't stop replaying in my head, those words replayed deep in my head, my heart... it felt like a spear had been driven through my heart. I stared at Justin, I wanted to see his reaction. I really don't know what I thought his facial expression would be, maybe... shocked.But he did not look shocked anyway, like he already knew he was getting married. He... ahhh.Why?Why?Did all we shared..., everything..., was it truly nothing to Justin? Am I the only one left with our memories?I know he told me he never loved me, he was only pretending to be, because of the throne, but still.... A part of me wanted to believe it was all lies, that there was probably something I didn't know. A reason. "What!" Annie yelled, "My son is getting married, and I don't even have a clue? "How am
Justin's Pov"My prince, breakfast is ready." The maid who had come to inform me of dinner, had said. And now, I'm on my way to the dining room. As I got close to the dining room, I heard some raised voices. At first, I didn't think about it. Because, I know it's probably my Father getting on everyone's nerves. "Must you really act this way, father!"That was Jake's voice, what's going on?"In what way did I act, son? Isn't she a slave? So what is wrong with a slave doing her job?"Father.Why would Jake be angry at father over a slave? But we do not have any slaves in this palace anymore. Racheal was the last slave. Except....Nah, what the hell is going through my head? Why would Racheal become a slave once more?But still, I should be sure."Slave? Who's a slave?" I asked, walking into the room casually, my eyes searching...My thoughts were right. Racheal, she's dressed like a slave, but why? Why is she dressed like a slave?What in the world did I miss?Our eyes met, but she w
Justin’s PovI paced around in my office unable to keep a hold on how I was feeling. Xavier sat in a corner and watched on, but we said no word to each other."Hey, Justin, you should have a seat," he finally spoke, urging me to stop pacing to and fro. "You're making me dizzy by watching you walk from one end of the room to the other."I ignored him. He wasn't worth my time. I just kept on walking around just like I was before he spoke up again…"Hey, what's the problem, man? What is going on?" Xavier asked. That guy was always so persistent. He didn't know what it meant to give up, nor did he know when to. "Why are you this way? Is this about the wedding? I mean, from what I saw back there, you didn't even seem to be bothered about the marriage when your father brought it up, so why are you all worked up all of a sudden?""I didn't know about the marriage," I blurted out rather mindlessly. “Okay, I knew about it, but I didn’t know it was going to happen now, or that I would be gettin
Justin's POV"Well, that was that. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you the choice I made, because it’s pretty obvious.” I let out a sigh. “Yeah, I can guess it. You took the deal.” Xavier replied, “but does that deal entail you getting married to Jessica?”“Yes, and I had no choice but to accept. I had rather get married to Jessica a thousand time, than to see Racheal die.” I meant every bit of what I had just said. Racheal means that much to me. I love her, and I would never let any sort of harm come her way. “But I don’t get it…” Xavier murmured, his hands on his cheeks. “Get what?” I asked, curious.“How is it that Racheal is a slave once more? I mean, she’s not one to take such a decision. And I can’t imagine her succumbing to your father’s threat, either.” He said, thoughtfully.Thinking deeply about what he just said, I realized he is indeed right. If I had already made a deal with my father, for Racheal to live, I can’t see why Racheal would become a slave once more. Racheal
Rachael's POVI rested my head on Justin's shoulders with our hands entwined, as we sat on the bare floor in my room.For a moment, we didn't speak. We just moved our fingers around, and I pecked him on the cheek at intervals."Are you in a relationship with Jake?" Justin asked, out of the blue, breaking the beautiful silence that we enjoyed for about five minutes."It's complicated," I answered, sighing. "Why is it complicated?" "Well, you already know why I chose Jake, but Jake doesn't know. And I feel so afraid to tell him the truth." "I should be glad that there's nothing between the both of you, but that's only from your point of view. You need to tell Jake the truth." Justin said, placing a kiss on my forehead.He was right, I do need to tell him. I can't drag it any longer. If I did… I would only be hurting Jake more. "I will, I will tell him, but for now, could we not talk about any other thing, and just let it be about us both?""Sure," he smiled, placing a kiss on my fo
Rachael's POV“So if I am to understand all that you have just said... that both of us are actually destined for each other. Like we are mates, and the mate bond that is between Jake, Jackson, Jared and I… is all fake?” Justin had gone to the priestess to find out how to break the oath we both had with the Alpha, and he had come back with an answer, and something more…"Yes.” He answered, nodding his head… his eyes letting me know how serious he was. “I am only mated to you?” I asked again. I don’t know… I just needed to be sure of the words getting to my ears. I mean— I know alpha Blackwood is a scheming bastard, but isn’t this too much? Playing with people's feelings, like he was some creator?“So… your father did this thinking he could prevent both of us falling in love with each other?” “Yes.”I scoffed, “I guess the jokes on him, because he ain’t no moon goddess.” Justin remained quiet. I guess he could see I felt angry, and didn’t want to say the wrong thing.I mean, all the
Rachael's POV"Thank you." I whispered, my hands around his neck, whiffing in his amazing scent. I felt calm. "You don't have to thank me. It is what I have to do." He murmured in reply, placing a kiss on my forehead. I sighed, "I wish I could really flaunt our relationship, in front of your father and Jessica." I grumbled, frowning. He chuckled, "I also wish to do that. I want to show him that what he had spent so much energy to prevent, is already happening." "Ha! I can already imagine the look on his face. His ears would turn red, and his head Ha! It would be like it wants to burst out of anger." I laughed, as the image popped in my head. "What? Are you saying your father looks like a pig ready to explode, whenever he is mad?" Justin laughed, shaking his head."Now... now you are the one... you are the one painting the bigger pic... picture." I managed to say, in between laughters. "You are so beautiful." You are beautiful.You are beautiful.You are beautiful.It was as if
Rachael's POVIn the smaller sitting room, I knelt beside Jessica's seat as she sat there to discuss with her wedding planner; a slender woman with long black hair.My knees ached a little, but there was nothing I could do about it. Slaves were always supposed to kneel, and not to sit or stand under such circumstances.Jessica paused a few times as they spoke, just to have a good look at me with a smile on her face. Surely, she was enjoying the sight, loving every bit of it.I had no business being there with her. I was supposed to be in the kitchen doing the dishes or in my room having a good rest, but no, she wouldn't let that happen. She just couldn't let me be.She went to the Alpha and shamelessly begged him (I won’t say she begged or did it shamelessly, more like ask… but my memories, my truth) to make me her personal servant.And of course, Alpha Blackwood is always in favor of my misery, so yeah, he graciously gave me to her."Where exactly would you love your wedding ceremony
Justin's Pov.I smiled contentedly, watching as the sun hit her face, bringing out her beauty. It's been 60 years, 60 years that I have been married to her, my mate. And for sixty years, we have fought, made up, stand by each other, faced it all... together. She was and still is the only woman for me. She's my forever mate."I know I'm pretty, but stop staring. It would make my husband mad." She mumbles, her eyes close."Good thing I’m your husband then." I grinned, placing kisses at every available spot in her face, moving down her neck and to her cleavage."Don't tell me you are horny, cause I'm on a vacation." She groaned in my mouth. "I don't think your body is on a vacation." I murmured, dipping my fingers into her already wet vagina."Justin. The... fuck... the kids." She moaned, as I thrust my fingers dipper into her. "You can only do one, my love. Either moan, or warn me about the kids." I mocked, staring into her eyes lazily, rubbing my finger up and down the length of he
Blackwood's PoV10 years later It was time again, just like every other night, it wouldn't miss neither would it go on a vacation for one night. "Are you guys ready? It's happening again!" My wife yelled, standing so closely to me."I have my pop corn ready." Another voice said, walking into the room through the walls.I don't know what drive me crazy more, the sword hung right above my body, the electric machine, or the fact that I am surround with not two dead people, but a thousands of them.They are all sandwiched in here, going and coming as they please. Peace? I had no peace. Every seconds, every minute, every hours, they whisper in my ear. Their dead eyes poking at me, scrutinizing my every move. If I could ask for anything in the world, it would be one hour of total silence. Just me, laying on this bed and nobody else in the room."Are you really praying for us to be gone?" My wife asked, floating right above me, "sorry, but we can't. We are here to serve you, our king."
Racheal’s POV;Six years later."Mummmmmyyyyyyyyy! Mummmmmmyyyyyy!!"I didn't need to open my eyes to know the annoying voices belong to my cute little devils. Justin and I had said we won't get married until after five years, but we did get married. Only after a year. Why?Well, I got pregnant. And because we didn't want our kids asking us why we were not married yet, and not being able to understand our explanation(the same way Jared can't), we decided to get married.I opened my eyes, groaning tiredly. "Yes, my sweet puppies, what can mummy do for you." "We were wondering if you had a talk with Rio." Nathan, my first child asked.I gave birth to twins boys, and my first child name is Nathan while my second child's name is Nicholas. "Why would I talk to your dead dog?" I asked, sitting up.Justin had brought Nathan and Nicholas a puppy, who they named Rio. Unfortunately, Rio died last week due to an accident. "Because you promised that you would talk to Rio, seeing that you hav
Racheal's Pov."Where the hell have you been Racheal, I was told you arrived hours ago." Xyla screamed at me, the moment I stepped into her room. "Calm your horses, I needed to make a quick stop somewhere." I defended, pecking her on the cheek."Is he dead?" She asked, staring at me intently."Uhm, how did you know that I stopped by there?" I asked, surprise."Because I'm your better half, and I know you. Now answer the question, is he dead?" "Surprisingly, he is not." "I thought Everett said he won't last more than six month." I shrugged, "I also thought so too, I mean— the man is in a really bad shape. Really bad one, and still... surprisingly he still alive.""So? Would you go check on him again?" "Nah. I have gotten the closure I need, I don't want to see him again. Besides, I feel fulfilled knowing he his suffering three times than any of his victim ever did. Now, all I want is too live life to the fullest with all my favorite people next to me." "Come here." She said smili
A YEAR LATER.Rachael's POV"Finally," I breathed out, as Justin's private jet fully landed and we both made our way out of it.Interlinking my arms with his, we both made our way to a black car. My sis had sent it for us."Can we make two stops, before we head to the palace?" I asked."If you think we won't be late, then sure." Justin replied, placing a kiss on my forehead."Oh, we won't. We still have a lot of time to spare. Driver, take us to the priestess house." "Yes ma'am." The driver answered, and then drove off. It didn't take long, before the car parked right outside the priestess house. Justin and I came down from the car, and then we knocked on the priestess door. One of her maid opened the door, and then asked us to wait. "Racheal, Justin. Wow, this is a lovely surprise." The priestess exclaimed, walking into the living room. I stood up with a smile on my face, "well, we were back in town, and decided to come see you." "I am honored, believe me. I don't get a lot of
Rachael's POVI opened my eyes slowly, and sat up on realizing I was in an unfamiliar room. But slowly I got to recognize the room, I was in Justin’s room. What happened?“Oh my goodness, you are awake!” That voice. It belongs to…I turned around swiftly, and my suspicion was confirmed. Annie Blackwood, she’s standing before me.“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.” I screamed, jumping off the bed, “how… why… what in the, you are dead.” I stuttered, staring at her from the other side of the room.“Wait, you can see me?” She asked, pointing at herself.“Of course I can, you are literally standing before me. And I am freaked out, really freaked out.” I muttered, trying to regulate my breathing.“How can you possibly see me, I’m a ghost. I’m dead.” “Exactly!” I exclaimed.“Wait— You can see dead people, Racheal!” She exclaims, her eyes widened.“You said what?”“I mean it all makes sense. I think you can not just only see ghost, but you can also merge with a ghost.” She divulged even further.“What?”“Ye
Rachael's POV"Get them." Blackwood ordered, and to his surprise, I started laughing. I held onto my stomach, and laughed so loudly."Stop laughing!" He growled, looking irritated. But I didn't stop, until I had my fill."Do you really think I'll make the same mistake that I've always made with you?" I asked, raising an brow. "I know you so well, Blackwood. I know very well that you're always one step ahead of me so this time around, I decided to be one step ahead of you. For your information, I didn't just make a plan. I had a plan B, just in case I needed it.""What are you talking about, slave?""Well, how about I show you instead? I believe that'll be much better," I smirked. "First, I need to get rid of some of your guards and make this a bit more of an even fight. Jessica, please..."Jessica stepped out from behind me and turned to her father who stood right next to Alpha Blackwood."Father, you don't to have support him." Jessica passed across, to her father, "you have no oblig
Rachael's POV"What do you mean by Xavier?" Jake asked, he looked as confused as the others. "Xavier can't deliver the wine to the Alpha, he's not in any way close to him.""Actually, out of everyone in this room, Xavier is the closest to the Alpha," I disclosed. "Don't you think you might be mistaken?" Jared commented, "If anyone should even deliver a bottle of wine to the Alpha, it should be Justin."I turned to Xavier and gave him a knowing look. "Would you love to tell them or should I do it myself?" I asked."Do whatever you want." He replied, in a lazy tone, shrugging his shoulders.So he doesn't care, but I will make him care."Tell us what?" Justin asked, staring at us curiously. He stared at Xavier, but Xavier looked away. "When I was kidnapped by Alpha Blackwood, he told me that he had someone among us who served as a double agent. A spy..." I revealed."So you think Xavier is the double agent?" Jackson interrupted, staring at me like I had gone mad with my presumptions."
Author's POV:Justin walked out of the cabin, ready to meet up with Jared who had asked to see him."Jared, you– Rachael." He called out in shocked. On seeing that it was Rachael who was outside waiting for him and not Jared. "Rachael, I didn't think you would be out here."She turned around and exhaled. "I asked Jared to call you." She disclosed."Why?" He asked, surprised that she would want to speak to him. After all, when she needed him the most, he wasn't there for her."Why didn't you tell me?” She asked, taking two steps towards him as he stared at her with a puzzled look on his face. “Uhm… tell you what?” He asked, although.. he had an idea of what she meant. But still, he wanted to be sure.“Why didn't you tell me that it was you who saved me from the cell that night?"Justin looked away, he was right after all. She found out, “Jared told you?” He asked, knowing Jared would be the only one capable of snitching.“Does it matter?” Racheal questioned, “I want an answer, Justin.
