AUTHORS POV: "Did you really think that you— a lesser man, could actually bring down an Alpha?" Alpha Blackwood asked, raising an eyebrow at his son, Jared, and with a cheeky smile on his face.. he broke free from the stems hold without much effort."If you weren't who you are, I would have clapped.. you impressed me with the whole stem thing. For a second there, I was probably scared. But I can't let you go unpunished, can I?" Alpha Blackwood asked, grinning wickedly, taking slow steps to Jared."No, you won't hurt my boy. I won't let you do that." Annie Blackwood cried out, standing in front of Jared protectively."Mother, you do not have to do this." Jared said to her, but Annie was adamant.. "I won't let him hurt you, I won't." "And how are you going to do that? I thought we had established your little scream power, can't stop me." Alpha Blackwood state laughing in mockery.Annie stared at her son, then back at her husband. She knew he was right, her screams wouldn't be able to
Rachael's POVSitting next to Alpha Blackwood on the couch, I stared at Jackson, Justin and Jake who stood before us and the reason for this meeting. "Can someone tell me why I have to sit next to a slave?" Alpha Blackwood groaned, his eyes glaring at the boys."We called for this meeting, father. To know what's next. After the drama with Jared, all that has happened recently in this Palace," Jake finally spoke up. "I feel it's time to set some things straight and just get them over with. Before the whole drama commenced, the contest was about to come to a close. We were on that before the incident so I want to know the status of the contest?""There's no more contest." Alpha Blackwood followed up immediately."We can't accept that, father." Justin swiftly objected, moving forward from behind Jake. "We all want this contest to end with Rachael's choice, so we can't let you end it. Besides, if you're going to end it, doesn't it mean you're going back on your word as an Alpha?"Alpha B
Rachael's POV"This place is too scattered for my liking." I grumbled, shaking my head as I stood in front of my wardrobe.Due to everything that had been going on in the Pack lately, I hadn't had any time to arrange my stuff. Thankfully, I finally did. I picked up the clothes which weren't in their hangers to arrange them properly, in the wardrobe."Ma'am Racheal." Orchid yelled, knocking loudly on my door. "Come in." I yelled back."Good morning, ma'am Racheal." She greets me while walking into my room. "Good morning Orchid." I replied back. "There's a mail carrier here for you at the front door, he said he has a package for you." Orchid informed me.Hmm, I wonder who sent me a package.. wait! Jared, he said, he would send me a phone. It has to be him. "Thank you orchid, you can leave." She made a slight bow and left. I also hurriedly left my room. I can't wait to see the phone he got for me.I saw the mail carrier as soon as I got to the conference room. He was a really good l
Rachael's POV"Yes Rachael, I have a pack." Jackson chuckled, gazing at me briefly."And you are the Alpha of this pack?" I asked, still in shock."No. Not at all. That's not what this is." He replied with a shake of the head. "I just help these people behind the scenes. There's someone else running the show."Just then, an old woman came out of one of the tents and I quickly recognised her. She was the same woman that I met when we visited the camp of the homeless Crimson Pack members. Mrs Matilda."Rachael, meet the leader of this Pack." He introduced her to me."It's good to see you once again." She said to me with a smile."Same here.""Your boyfriend here, doesn't want anyone to know that he's the one behind the creation of this Pack, so he put me in charge of it." She revealed."Wow." I exhaled. "Well, don't you feel like someone else is taking your glory?""One thing about kindness, is that it's about giving to others and not about getting the accolades that comes with it." He
Rachael's POVI laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling feeling so confused.'I love you.'Jared voice wouldn't stop bugging me, and the silence I gave to him after, makes matters worse. I feel guilty. I wish, I wish I can this whole contest thing like really quickly. I don't think I can take any of this feelings anymore. How do I know who I love genuinely? Do I even love any of them genuinely? What if, it's just the mate bond messing with my head.Maybe if Jared is here, I could get a little help. «You can call him, on the phone he gifted you.» Eliana suggested.«That is true, he gave me a phone!» I exclaimed standing up from the bed, I walked over to my wardrobe, opened it and brought out the phone. I already had him on speed dial, courtesy to Jared.. so in no time Jared answered the call. "Bitch, I thought you will never call!" "Wait. Have you been waiting for me to call?" "Yes." He answered simply."You could have just called Jared." "Uhm.. no. Between the both of us, you
Rachael's POV. "I need to tell him." I uttered, standing up from my bed and pacing to and fro my room.«Are you sure you want to meet him right now?» Eliana asked. She sounded a bit skeptical.I gave it a thought for about a minute or so and I was convinced it was the right thing to do. "Yes, I'm sure. I have to see him now."I opened my door and walked out, heading to his room with my face beaming with smiles. As soon as I got to his door, I knocked hard on it but there was no response at all. I knocked again. No response still. The third, the fourth and the fifth time... Nothing at all.I tried to turn the doorknob to open it myself but I realised that the door was locked. "Where could he be?" I asked in my mind.At that very moment, I saw a male servant heading in my direction, so I waited patiently for him to get to me."Ma'am, Justin is not around." He said to me. "He was sent on a business trip by the Alpha King. "He left very early this morning. I was the one who helped him c
Rachael's POVI stood in front of my mirror with a hairbrush in my hand, seeing my beauty with a smile on my face.I brushed my hair, making sure that it looked as beautiful as I wanted. I had to look very good. It's a very important day for me.I giggled, excitedly.. wondering how Justin would receive my news. I know he would definitely be shocked, and happy at the same time. Ahh! It's been weeks, two whole weeks since I have laid my eyes on Justin. I heard from Orchid that he is back, and now I am getting ready to confess my feelings to him.I need to get it off my chest.I had a pretty royal blue gown on, and trying not to come off too much, I wore a black wedge on my feet. I adorned my neck and ears with a cute silver necklace and silver earrings, completing the entire look I was going for. Now I am ready.I inhaled, then exhaled, walking over to the door.. «What if he rejects us?» Eliana suddenly asked, stopping me from opening the door.I stared at the doorknob for a while, sta
Rachael's POV"You chose me?" Jake asked, staring at me with a mix of surprise and happiness. His eyes were gazing into mine intently."Yes. You're the one that I'm in love with, Jake," I confirmed, lying through my teeth.I stared at Justin from the corner of my eyes to see his reaction, but I didn't get any.. He had a blank expression in his eyes. Like, like he didn't care if I gave the throne to Jake.Why?Why doesn't he care?"Racheal," Jackson called, and I turned to stare at him. He raised an eyebrow at me. "Are you sure about this? Is this what you want?" He asked, staring at me with concern. "Yes Jackson." I answered, gazing into his eyes, not blinking.He stared back at me for a seconds, then nodded his head. Suddenly, Alpha Blackwood started laughing.. Jake and I stared at him confused."What's funny? Why are you laughing?" I asked him, folding my arms. He stopped laughing and stared at me in a serious manner, "Your choice, cannot be accepted, Racheal.""What? What do you
