Justin's POVI stared at Rachael's face with admiration in my eyes, she had cried herself to sleep— in my arms. I was afraid if I woke her up, she would remember her parents betrayal once more. Staring at her up close, I realize how pretty she is.. the slave clothe didn't do her any good. She's beautiful. Rays of sunlight got into the room through the window and shined on her face, i frowned lifting up my hands and used it to shield her from the rays. I don't want her waking up, not when she looks so peaceful and pretty.Her eyes fluttered open, and she yawned while rubbing her eyes and stretching a bit. I chuckled, she reminded me of a cute bunny. "What it my palm hovering above your eyes, or the sun rays that woke you up?" I questioned as she sat up. "Sun rays? It was dark outside mot too long ago." She replied, sitting up immediately and staring out the windows frantically. "Did I.. did I sleep in your arms last night?" She asked bewildered. "Yes, you did." I answered simply.
Rachael's POVI yawned as I woke up, stretching my hands up in the sky and every part of my body. I had gone to bed quite early the previous night so I had more than enough sleep.I should have my bath, cause I plan to spend most of the day outside my room, I don't want to be back at my depressing phase.I stood up and walked over to the bathroom, brushed my teeth.. washed my hair and face, then had a short shower. Drying off my hair I walked back into my room, heading straight for my wardrobe.. hmm, what color says 'I am fine and I am not pretending' I would say yellow, but yellow it's too shouty and the royals will know, I'm not okay. Hmm, I will go with orange, dark orange. I think it's screams, I'm fine and stop staring at me worriedly. That is of any of them are worried though.I wore an orange tank top, and blue ripped jeans. Yes, I am back at annoying Alpha Blackwood. I had to practice my fake smile on a mirror for about five minutes, and once I was sure I had the perfect sm
Rachael's POVIt's another morning in the Crimson Pack and somehow, I miss the days when I was a slave.. the days that I wake up and I admire the morning son and it would give me hope of a bright future. One where I didn't need to use the Tv, and so never had to hear the truth around my slavery. I sighed tiredly, staying put in my bed cause i wasn't ready to face the world or put on a fake smile again..Deciding to have my bath before visiting the lands of dreams again, I stood up from the bed lazily walked into the bathroom, had my bath and then put on a casual clothe, feeling much more refreshed I laid back on my bed using the duvet to cover my body. I was about closing my eyes, when a knock comes on my door. "Who is it?" I yelled raising my head up, glaring at the door with anger. "It's me, Jake."Groaning with so much pain, I stood up from the bed with much effort, walked over to the door and opened it. "Hi, what is it that you want?" I asked getting straight to the point. "H
Rachael's POV"Thank you, Jake, I had such an amazing time." I appreciated awkwardly, dropping down from Jake's bike as he parked in his garage. "It was a great time for me too." He replied, I couldn't tell if he was smiling because I wasn't staring at me. I feel so embarrassed, why did I kiss him? "Yeah.. sure." I mumbled back with a nervous laugh. "Racheal.. abut what happened earlier..""Uhm Jake, I need to go in now. It's almost curfew, and I am pretty sleepy at the moment." I did not wait to see if he heard the words that had literally flew out of my mouth in fast mode, or to see if he had any reply.«Why are you embarrassed, you were not this embarrassed when you kissed him.»«Eliana, not now.»«And what did you do after kissing him?? I think we should go home, cause of curfew??» She mimicked what I said to Jake at the ice cream, after I brought the kiss to an end. «I don't know Eliana, this is my first kiss.. I was shy, I guess.»«He is probably wondering if you are bipolar
Justin's POV'I need to check up on Rachael.' I said to Jay, as I got ready to travel. "Since I'm travelling, I need to at least say goodbye to her." I muttered out loud.'Are you sure that's the reason why?' Jay replied suspiciously.'What other reasons would I have?' I questioned back.'Just wondering...''I don't get why you are thinking too deep. Since I have an impromptu appointment outside of crimson pack, I just thought it would be best to say goodbye to the girl I am trying to get fall in-love with me, and make me the alpha.''Okay.. I get it. No need to—'Sighing in an exaggerated manner I shut him off. "Isn't it too early to go see her?" Jay asked popping back up. I took a look at the wall clock and it was only 4:30 am. 'Well, it is. I can't deny that,' I affirmed. 'Yet, there's nothing I can do about it. I'd be leaving by 5:30 a.m. That's just about an hour from now, so it's now or never.''Why would you need an hour to—''Shut up Jay!' I groaned at him, and he stayed quie
Rachael's POVI stood still, rooted to the ground as my eyes remained fixed on the door in front of me.I would have thought— all that happened a moment ago was a just dream. It just had to be. Yet, the pain I felt on my wrist due to Justin's firm grip on it, seemed to prove me otherwise.Although Justin had left the room already, I couldn't help but stare at the door in shock. I never imagined that he would do something like that; not after the discussions that we've had.Just then, I heard a knock on my door. I was immediately jolted back to consciousness. It got me out of my state of shock and I took a deep breath, just to get myself composed."Come in!" I yelled at whoever it was, gazing keenly to know if it was someone that I needed to kick out.It's Orchid. She pushed the door open and walked straight inside. "Good morning, Rachael," she greeted. "Queen Annie has asked to have tea with you. She's waiting for you in the garden."Queen Annie? Tea? Oh wait— I did promise to have t
Jackson's POV"Do you know how brave Rachael is?" I asked Caroline, cutting into my steak. "She's so brave; one of bravest people I've ever met. No one in my entire family could have ever stood up to my father, not even my mother, but she did just that."Caroline said nothing. She's been quiet from the get go, but I didn't mind."She elevated herself to the head of the servants," I further narrated. "Now, she's not a servant anymore but an important guest. What's so amazing about it, is how bravely she did all that. She had the nerves to declare a fun game in the Pack and she pulled it off!""Uh-huh...""Yeah," I nodded. "For the first time, I saw my mother stand up against my dad. I had never seen my mother act out of place until that day, and guess who made that happen? Rachael! She has made the entire palace much more bearable to live for everyone. It's no longer that boring place where nothing interesting happens, so I'm happy with the contest.""Wow, you're happy with the contest
Justin's POVSitting on a couch with a drink in my hand.. I sighed once more. I felt anxious or probably more than that, and the loud music in the club didn't help either. Why? Why did I kiss her forcefully? Why did I ruin my chance of ever being Alpha. She probably hates me now, and if there was a slight chance of my name being in her list.. she is definitely wiping it off. "Justin." The lady beside me called in a flirtatious manner, her hands caressing my chest. Groaning inwardly, I grabbed her hand and took it off. I told Xavier I didn't want any girls tonight, but he just wouldn't listen. I also did tell him I wanted a place to cool off, and all the club apparently— is where my best friend comes to cool off and he thinks that should apply to every living being. Xavier refused me from going him, and so I decided to stay and drink. Maybe if I get myself so drunk I would be able to get her out of my head, even for just a second. I know the Alpha position means a lot to me, but
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.
