Rachael's POV"Justin, I had a nice dinner." I smiled heartily, surprised that I had as much fun as I did with him. "Thank you for making this happen."He beamed at me in a way that I'd never seen before. If I didn't know better, I might have thought that he was into the whole thing. Indeed, I thought so— but something in me still felt like there was nothing else to it except the whole competition."We're not done for tonight." He revealed, as my face lit up. "I still need to take you on a tour of this magnificent building, don't I?"We stood from our chairs and he stretched out his hand.. "Shall we?" He asked grinning."Yes." I smiled, taking hold of his hand. He led me back to the front of the house... "Are you ready to check out how the inside of this edifice looks?""Si," I replied, showing off my very little knowledge of the Italian language.As we walked into the building, I was so excited. I had seen a few places on my way out of the mansion earlier but nothing detailed. There
Rachael's POVJackson and I walked away from the mansion in total quietness. I don't really know why— but I was expecting him to say something to me but he didn't. He just kept on walking straight ahead.I know I didn't do anything wrong, it wasn't my choice to have Justin kidnap me, but still— why do I feel guilty, and why do I hate his silence. "Thank you for choosing to come with me." He finally broke the silence, to my own relive. "You don't have to thank me. I was only doing the right thing, you brought me here to Venice and so I am sticking with you." I replied softly.He turned around to stare at me... "I am glad you have that sentiment, cause we have one more date to go to, before we say bye bye.. to Venice." He informed me with a coy smile.I really don't think I want to go on another date, I just completed one with Justin. But— I also don't think I should say no to him. "Sure." I sighed. "Where are we going?""I guess you'll find out. Let's get into the car."He said open
Rachael's POVI turned in my sleep as the knock came on the door again, whoever is knocking can't they see I don't want to leave slumberland just yet?"Racheal! Racheal! Are you in there??" Ugh, they know my name. Wait! My eyes fluttered opened, Jackson! "I'm coming." I yelled standing up from the bed grudgingly, I walked straight to the door and opened it. Unlike the last time, this time— it's truly Jackson."Don't you think it's too early to be knocking on my door?" I asked yawning loudly, at the same time stretching my hands and legs sleepily."Sorry about that." He apologized, "It's just that I have a business meeting to attend by 8, and it's already 7:20." "Business meeting? I thought we are here to have fun?" I stared at him in a confused manner. "Even when telling a lie, there should be some truth in it." He replied winking, I chuckled. "I wish you a successful business meeting then." I bowed slightly, he laughed."So it's that all, cause I have a big size bed changing m
Rachael's POV"Get into the car!! Now!!" Jackson growled, his voice shaking me out of my trance-like state. I stared at him, then back at Mandy.. she called my pack, she called my pack name. I.. I.. need to find out who she is."I can't Jackson!" I defiantly yelled at him, standing my ground. "Didn't you hear what Mandy just..."I was interrupted by his palm over my mouth and suddenly, I found myself lifted off the ground by his strong hands. I gasped as he moved forward with me, tossing me into the car and immediately banging the door.I tried to open the door but I realised that he had already locked it. "Open the fucking door Jackson! OPEN IT!! She knows my parent, she knows my clan. OPEN IT!!" I screamed, banging on the window and trying to unlock the frantically. None would budge. Why it fucking open up.He stared me pitifully, shakes his head.. turned around heading for the mall. What is he doing? I stopped yelling, watching as he talked to her.. what he saying to her, why i
Rachael's POV"Okay, take me to him." I said to the guard, and he nodded walking in front of me.. taking me to Alpha Blackwood.I wondered if he knew about the incidents that happened in Venice, and if he did— what line of action is he taking."He's in there." The guard revealed pointing at a door. That's the mini parlor and except from Alpha Blackwood and his wife, no one is allowed to enter there. His kids are what I call occasionally an exception, unless when summoned of course.I thanked the guard, and walked over to the door of the mini parlor, knocked on the door once and waited. Alpha Blackwood had always believed he isn't in anyway deaf, and so no one needed to knock more than once. "Come in, Racheal." He yelled, I opened the door slowly and walked in as fast as I could. He is not a fan of being kept waiting."Good evening, Alpha Blackwood." I greeted, bowing slightly but he didn't respond. His attention remained on the television while I kept staring at him, waiting for him
Rachael's POV"Hang this in the wardrobe." I said, handing a red dress to a maid which I took out of my box.I had just walked back into my room after my encounter with Alpha Blackwood, to see some maids waiting for me in front of my door— so they could help me unpack.I called Orchid on my way back since I wanted her to help me do that. Nevertheless, it was good to have two more hands waiting on me for instructions. The more, the merrier.She took the dress from me, walked over to the wardrobe and hung it while I took the rest of the clothes out of the bag. "Please, call the rest of the maids for me." I requested. "Tell them to be here immediately."Orchid tried to leave but I stopped her, i snapped my fingers at another maid who stood by my right hand, to get my request done.She left and I resumed unpacking. Taking out all the stuffs I brought in the supermarket."Hang this carefully." I said to orchid, handing over the dress I had worn for my dinner date with Jackson. I wish I had
Rachael's POVAlthough my eyes were shut, I could feel Jake's face draw even closer to me. My breathe hinged in my throat, my lips felt dry.. as I waited in anticipation.. "My Prince!" In fear I pushed Jake away, then ran to his bed like some scared chicken."That only just makes you more suspicious." Jake groaned, standing of from the ground and massaging his butts.. apparently, I pushed him really hard."No it's not." I whispered, not wanting anyone outside that door to hear my voice. "Uhm, I think if anyone out there would walk in here, they had probably think— we were making out." He stared at the door, then back at me while grinning. "Uhm.. I.. well.. I.." Jake chuckled and walked to the door while shaking his head. He opened the door and I tried to see who it was but I couldn't. His whole body was covering the entire thing.I think he is doing it on purpose. «yeah, to protect us.» Eliana drawled, I rolled my eyes and shut her off. What does she know? And why would Jake pr
Rachael's POV"Let's go meet Jared." I sighed, finally deciding to see him after a bit of deliberation. I could tell that Eliana wanted us to go meet with him. She couldn't even hide it one bit.Jared is my best friend so I didn't want to make him mad or anything. Although I wasn't in the mood to see any of the brothers, I thought it was fine to make an exception in his case. What are best friends for?I gently opened my door and snuck out of the room to avoid being spotted by anyone as I made my way to our secret spot. Since he was already there, I knew that I had to hasten my footsteps a bit, but at the same time, I had to be discreet.I tiptoed down the passageway until I got outside the building. Then, I looked in different directions, just to make sure that none of the brothers were anywhere around me.«Coast is clear. We can move» Eliana remarked and off we went.As we got to the garden, I heard a voice; one that sounded very familiar, and I slowed my pace just to be sure if it
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.
