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
Author's POV:"I love you." Justin whispered in his lover's ear, his fingers touching every part of her body, unraveling every curve. He groaned in annoyance, hating the price of clothing stopping him from grazing his fingers on her naked skin. He wanted more, he yearned for more.Racheal shivered at every touch, every tug— but it wasn't enough, somehow... she wanted this man inside of her, she wanted her nipples grazing against his manly chest. She yearned for more.She could feel his impatience through every silent groan, she could tell he needed her naked as much as she needed him, to be naked. His tongue plunged into her submissive mouth, exploring as much as he could, their teeth grazing against each other, causing a tingling sensation at the pit of their stomachs. It wasn't enough. He needed more, she needed more.Racheal's trembling fingers went underneath his shirt, her nervous fingers caressing his broad chest, her fingers nervously grazing past his erect nipples. Justin
Rachael's POVI stood in front of the bed, my eyes fixated on the wall in front of me. I didn't know what to say or do. I felt terrible. Absolutely terrible. What do I say?How do I explain this?Shit Orchid, I thought there were only two entrances to the bunker. Why is there a freaking hole in the wall, and how did Jake find it? Jake— Jake had remained silent since I sent Justin out of the bunker, so Jake and I could talk in complete privacy. Justin had tried to speak when Jake walked into the room, but I didn't think it would be a great idea, so I had pleaded with him to leave.Yet, now alone with him. I had no words, or literally didn't know how to say the words in my head. Jake has always been there for me, and yet... I deceived him. He must probably feel like a fool right now.Shit. What have I done?I had betrayed a man who loved me with every inch of his heart; a man who was willing to do anything just to see that I was happy. But I go on with this silence, I would rather
