Rachel’s POV I woke up and saw David’s face very close to mine, but his eyes were on my lips.I also realized my head was on his arm.“Why are you staring at me like that?” I asked him, and he looked up.“Oh, you’re awake.” He smiled. I took my head from his arm and sat upright.“I hope I didn’t wake you." He asked, and he sat upright too.No, you didn't, and thank you.” I smiled at him.He smiled and nodded.“Let’s head home now.”“No! Can we just stay a little longer?” I muttered. “You want to stay for a while?” He asked. “Yes,” I replied.“Alright then.”We sat and talked for a while.This new David is really nice, and I hope he doesn’t change anytime soon.After a while, I went back to the car to go back home.“I would really love to go back there, David.” I said this as we were heading home.Yeah, sure, anytime you want to go there, I’ll take you.” He said it and smiled.“Thank you; I really enjoyed myself today.” I smiled and looked at him.“I am glad you did.” He smiled at
Rachel’s POV I smiled at him and continued eating.We were all silent for a while and just ate our food.“You guys aren’t talking anymore; do I make you guys feel uncomfortable?” David asked. “No, not at all.” Mary laughed. “Do I, Rachel?” He looked at me.“Oh,” Mary muttered.No, you don’t; please eat your food.” I answered and smiled slightly.Shortly after, David got a call and left the table.“Rachel, I will see you around.” Scott uttered something and smiled softly before leaving.“Are you sure Scott is okay?” Mary asked as we both watched as he walked away.“I don’t know, Mary, and I don’t know why David has been acting so strange lately.” I said so and nodded in agreement.“Have you asked him why the sudden change?” She asked. “I haven't, though.”I guess I’ll have to ask him that.A few moments later, school was over.“Let’s go,” David said as I walked up to him.“Okay.” I said that and got into his car.“You look worried.” He uttered it while driving back home.“Uhm, I wa
Rachel POV I gasped as he held me tightly.I got up after he took his hands away. I couldn’t even look at his face.“I am sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable.” He uttered something, and I managed to look at him.“No, it’s fine. Are you okay?” I asked him.Yes, I am.” He laughed a little.There was an awkward silence for a while.“Rachel.” He called out my name.“Hmm.” I raised my brows and looked at him.“I really like you, Rachel, and I don’t know if that will ever change. Thinking that David was not into you will make things easier for you and me, but now I think he is picking up more interest in you.”“What!” My voice wasn’t too audible.“David likes Laura, not me.” I added. “He is beginning to like you.” Scott didn’t look happy.“And I guess that would make things hard for me to get to you.”“I want to ask you a question, Rachel.” He turned properly in my direction.“Okay.”“And I want you to be honest with me.”From the way he sounded, I hope there is no problem, and from t
David’s POV I noticed how Rachel cried a lot, plus her mood wasn’t so good as we left the house.What’s going on with her?“We should just go home; you don’t look fine to me. Rachel. "What is wrong? Why are you this way?” I asked her, and I brought her out of the house so she could have fun and not cry.“I want to go home.” She said it with a cracked voice.“Let’s go.” I took her hand, and we walked out of the place. I drove out immediately as soon as we got into the car.I asked her why she was crying and what really changed her mood. She didn’t want to say it; obviously, she was crying, but she didn’t want to spill out what made her cry.She insisted she wanted to go home, and I took her home.We got home.“Rac...” she walked out immediately as we stepped down from the car.What’s with the mood?I went into my room. I had taken a bath already, so I changed up. I laid on my bed for a while before going to Rachel’s room to ask her why she was feeling sad.I’m sure by now she has res
Rachel’s POV He turned his face away and cleaned his eyes. He looked so pitiful.I didn’t even know what to say at first.David, it’s fine; I am fine now; why are you this way?” I answered. He looked so different and shattered; what must have happened to him?He looked at me, placed my hand on my cheek, rubbed it gently, and smiled a little. His eyes were red.“So have you forgiven me for the pain I caused you?” He asked, and his palm still caressed my face softly.Why is he always talking about the pain he has caused me? That was far, far gone, even if I still feel the pain a little.“Yes, I have forgiven you; you shouldn’t have turned yourself this way.” I replied. I just had to tell him that, maybe to lighten up his mood.“Thank you; you don’t know how happy I am now.” He dragged me into a hug, and he hugged me tightly. My head was on his chest, and he rubbed my hair. “Thank you so much, Rachel.” He said it and kissed my hair before he pulled out the hug.“I’ll leave you to go to
Rachel’s POV David and Laura have broken up. Why?“Oh, you didn’t know they weren’t together anymore? What a pity.” She laughed. “How did they break up?” I asked.“Are you going to believe them right now, Rachel?” Mary asked, and she looked at me in disbelief.Obviously, I should believe it because the way David has been behaving lately is out of the ordinary, and I also had this strange feeling that that might be the reason for his attitude.“I think I should believe, Mary." I turned to her and answered, I haven’t told her everything that happened to David. “Go and ask the guy you snatched from Laura; maybe he will tell you why they broke up.” One of those girls struck.“Let’s go, girls.” She added, and they walked out.Why would David hide it from me? At least he would have told Scott.“Are you really going to believe those girls? Do you think Laura will ever want to break up with David?” Mary was questioned. One thing about Mary is that she never believes until she sees evidence
Rachel’s POV “David?” I muttered and looked closely. It was Jack. Am I alright? Why would I ever mistake Jack for David? Fuckk!! How did I forget that David asked me to go out with him today? How did it slip my mind?“It’s not David, dummy, it’s Jack.” Jack laughed. Sorry, Jack, that was a slip of the tongue.” I laughed softly.“Are you sure you are okay, Rachel?” Scott asked and held my hand. The fact that I don’t even know if I am fine amazes me.Yes, I am alright.” I formed a smile, and he nodded. I’m sure by now David must have found out I am not at home, and maybe he might be annoyed.I was also a little worried that Scott might get angry at the way I acted, so I had to switch up my mood quickly.“So what are you doing here?” I asked Jack.“I was just heading out now; I do come here sometimes.” He answered, and I nodded continuously as he talked.“I will leave you guys; I will catch up with you tomorrow.” He said this and fisted my arm softly.Alright, see you,” I replied, and
David’s POV Immediately, I noticed Rachel was back from school. I wanted to meet her. But I don’t want her to feel like I am stressing her out, so I’ll leave it till the evening because I told her we would go out today.I felt some kind of peace and comfort since Laura and I broke up, and I also realized this morning that I had feelings for Rachel. feelings I never saw coming; these feelings were much more superior than the ones I had for Laura.But what bothers me is if she genuinely has mutual feelings. I doubt if Rachel feels the same way; probably she wouldn't, but I’ll just have to try to win her back.It was close to 7 p.m. I should tell her to get ready for the outing; we would be heading out by 8 p.m.I walked out of my room and moved to her room; her door was slightly opened, and I noticed Scott was with her.From the way they sounded, Scott also had plans to take her out, and she agreed to join him.And the way they spoke Scott actually likes Rachel, and I feel Rachel likes
Rachel’s POV Two years later,I woke up to a bright, sunny morning with a yawn in my mouth. And immediately, a smile filled my face. Today is my wedding day, and I have hoped and waited for so long for this day to come. I was so happy, mixed with nervousness.I actually couldn’t wait to be Mrs. Rachel Kessler; my love for him grew with every passing day. I am so blessed to have a man like him. David has always been my supporter and backbone these past few years. We grew so fond of ourselves that we couldn’t go a day without seeing each other.I can proudly say he is obsessed with me, and so am I.David has always been the one praying for the day to break quickly; he loves me more than anything I can imagine, and our love keeps on booming with every passing day.And for Scott, he met his mate last year, a very beautiful and courageous woman named Anna. She loves Scott so much, and Scott loves her too, and I always pray for the best for them.I left my bed to prepare for the big day ahe
Rachel’s POV I waited for David the whole night, but I didn’t see him until I fell asleep. Maybe he was so busy due to Scott’s event coming up, and tomorrow he will be so busy. I would have to wait until any day he isn’t tied up with work, and I couldn’t summon the courage to call if he is so busy that he can’t take calls now.The next day, it was already evening. Throughout the whole day, I haven't set my eyes on David. He has been so busy with work, and I am sure he would be so stressed out.I was getting ready for the event, and I am sure I will at least see David there, even if I don’t get the chance to tell him how I feel for him.I wore a red long dress with a split at the back; it looked so lovely on me. I curled my hair into thick curls and packed it up, leaving some strands at the front of my hair and at the back as well.My makeup was properly arranged. When I was done, I picked up my black mini-purse and left the room.“Are you done? Luna asked and looked at my dress. “You
Rachel’s POV “You….” David wanted to speak, and immediately we heard a resounding knock on the door.“Who is there? David shouted and frowned as there was an interruption.I was quite upset too; I wanted this guy so bad, and now he might just leave very soon.Alpha, there is a problem, and the elders in council need you urgently. Someone shouted outside the door, It should be one of the guards. “Alright, I'll be there. David walked close to the door and answered, but before he would turn, I stood up from the counter. And arranged myself properly.“Are you leaving already? He asked as he walked up to me quickly.Yes, I am; you should get back to work; maybe we will talk later. I answered and was about to work out when he gripped my hand and brought me back to himself. My hand touched his irresistible chest.And I turned to look at him. I felt so different. I was so sad to leave. I am sure this isn’t my wolf in control. Whenever he holds my hand, I don’t ever want him to leave it. When
Rachel’s POV We were heading back home when David got a call from the packing house.He sounded like there was a little issue there. “I hope everything is fine, Alpha David. I asked immediately, and I was a little shocked. He told me everything is fine, and it’s Laura’s parents who want to see him.I gasped as he mentioned Laura’s parents were in the pack house waiting for him. I just hope nothing will happen. Since he is an Alpha now, this will go smoothly.We got home, and we walked in.Laura, if you’d go and have some rest, I’ll come meet you up later. He sounded like we were married or something, but he sounded nice.“Alright, I will see you later then. I answered and smiled. It’s actually getting so sweet because nowadays he says sweet words without him knowing he said them.I know he will be going to his stable, and whatever they discuss about it will turn out to be good and still resolve the peace we all need.I walked into my room and took off the coat.Fuck! I haven’t given
David’s POV I have known Josh right from when we were all little; I was closer to him than Scott at that time, and we all attended the same school until he was later transferred.He was the first I told about Laura and how I liked her and wanted her to be my friend; he was the reason I began to talk to her when we were little.Immediately, Rachel revealed to me that Josh Robert was her mate. I was so shocked and surprised because I didn’t see that coming, and I was glad too because, since I know him, it wouldn’t make things hard for me.He is a guy of justice and plays his games fairly; that’s one of the things I admire most about him.I noticed how hurt he was after rejecting her. He said those words out of rage; he didn’t plan for this, but it was bound to happen by the moon goddess, and I can say he did the right thing.“I shouldn’t have done this to myself. Laura beat herself up as she fell to the ground, crying and whimpering in pain. She groaned so hard and rolled herself on th
Rachel’s POV David, you shouldn’t do that. I held his hand immediately, but his hand was still hanging in the air, and his fist was tightly clenched. I think he stopped himself before I stopped him.“You need to watch your mouth, Laura. Don’t let me do something that I might regret. He pointed at her, still with rage in his eyes. David looked so angry because Laura did something bad but did not want to accept the fact that she did anything wrong.Her mouth was shut immediately; she could not even speak anymore.“You were mated to a soon-to-be Lycan king, right? Who is he? David asked, demanding an answer from her, and immediately I gasped. I suddenly remembered the day Scott and I saw them at a restaurant, and Scott told me how David and Josh had been really close.“And why are you asking? She asked and frowned heavily.“You shouldn’t be asking me that. With all that you have done, do you think I will let you go so easily? David fired at her back, and she seized up immediately; her e
Rachel’s POV I hugged him and finally let go.“You don’t have to cry; let’s be bold enough to finish what they started. He said that and cleaned my eyes. I stared at him and smiled, nodding slowly.I was so glad he still hasn’t forgotten and that he kept his promise all this time.“You have done so much already; thank you so much. I said, looking directly into his blue eyes.“Rachel, you don’t have to thank me. He laughed softly. Once I am done with whatever I will do tomorrow, we will both go to Laura’s house to ask her questions. He voiced. “Alright, you should go and have some rest now; today was a long day for you. I insisted, and he nodded in agreement.“And I’ll also leave you to rest. He stretched to my neck and kissed my lower cheek close to my ear. “Good night.” He whispered in my ear.I smiled when he looked at my face. “Good night.” I answered, and he smiled, stood, and left.He left the room and closed the door immediately. I fell onto my bed and hugged my pillow tightly
Rachel’s POV Everyone from different packs was gathered in the hall. The Alpha and Luna, along with other Alphas and Lycan kings from different packs and their family members, were present; they were all seated as noble subjects.I stepped outside of the hall to contact Mary to see if she would still make it, but graciously, yes, she was on her way. My foster family was already there, waiting for the ceremony to begin.Immediately, I saw David and Scott standing behind their car, and I waved at them and walked to them.David looked so handsome; he looked more like a prince, and he was dressed so respectfully, as an Alpha should be.I learned that David was quite nervous, and I told him that it is normal for everyone to be nervous for a thing like this and that he should be strong, or better yet, he should not look at anyone’s face.“If I had the chance to look at anyone, I’d look at you. When he said that, my heart fluttered, and I tried so hard not to blush. Immediately, David’s pho
David’s POV I have been away from home for the past week now, and tomorrow will be my coronation. My stay outside the park house has been so hectic, but the new powers being unleashed in me by my dad burst all my happiness.I was finally given the powers to rule the pack and to always use them whenever there are problems in the pack. Powers of not only hearing minds but also powers to defeat any evil. It made me much more fearless and strong.“David, these powers are given to you to protect your pack and to always put your life on the line to save your pack. Father ministered to me after unleashing the powers on me, and I agreed with him to obey the instructions.I went to bed afterwards to prepare for the big day tomorrow, and I also couldn’t wait to meet Rachel. I have always missed her so much.After finding out what Laura did to her pained me bitterly, I have told this to only Scott, and I told him not to tell Rachel yet. Rachel’s suspicions about Laura were all correct, and I do
