Rachel’s POV He paused and looked at me for a while."I know, and I will wait till you feel the same way." He was very close to me, and his eyes were on my lips some seconds after he went backwards."Have a good night's sleep." He said it politely and walked away.I breathed down immediately after he left, hit my chest softly, and walked to my bed and sat.How did this guy develop such feelings for me? I didn’t see this coming. I finally stood up and walked to my wardrobe to change. I wore a towel and walked into the bathroom. I was done; I wore my nightie and went to bed.Mary called me, and we talked about a few things, and she asked if David was still infuriated by what happened earlier. I explained to her what happened an hour ago between David and me."But girl, I think David likes you now; why don’t you give it a try? I feel he is beginning to change; he is not so harsh like the way he was before." Mary tried to convince me."But Mary, how can I get into a relationship with Dav
Rachel’s POV David, you shouldn’t have bothered; Luna and I will be going shopping tomorrow for my dress.” I said it immediately.“I insist; I want you to wear it; if you don’t like it, then you can wear whatever you want.” He said this with his hand still hanging in the air.“This is too much, thank you.” I took the bag from his hand.“Thanks for not rejecting it, and by the way, you shouldn’t bother about the size; it will be fitted to you.” He said it and smiled, which made me laugh.This was more than what I expected, and immediately I hugged him. I sensed he was quite shocked before he wrapped his hand around my back.“Thank you. I don’t know how you knew about the things I like or the places I have always wished to go, and you’ve made them come true. Thank you.” I was still hugging him.“I’m happy you like them; it means a lot to me.” He answered. After a while, we headed back home, and David went to his room and I went to mine. A few minutes later, after bathing and changing
Rachel’s POV It was morning, and it was the day for prom. I felt a glimpse of happiness in me. I felt like my wolf, Vivian, was so happy. I got a little confused and asked her why she was so happy, and she said she just felt alive and so happy. I was happy that she was happy.I walked into the bathroom, washed up, and stepped out. Immediately, my phone buzzed, and it was Mary."Hey baby girl! She exclaimed. "What’s up with all this excitement? I answered and laughed. I asked, like I didn’t know the reason for her happiness."You know the reason; stop asking questions. She shouted and laughed, and I laughed too."I’ll be coming over to your place later today so we can go together. She added. I was also thinking of the same idea to tell her."That would be great; I was about to ask the same too. I answered her.That's good then; I’ll see you later, sissy. She said goodbye, and I told her goodbye and hung up.They called me for breakfast, and I went downstairs. We all had breakfast, an
David’s POV Immediately I stepped out of my room, and my eyes met those of a goddess. She looked more like a star; words aren’t enough to describe how stunning she looked. I was so speechless and lost looking at her, and later I came to realize how I had stared at her for so long.I walked to her, and I got this authentic, soft, sweet smell from her. “Rachel, you look pretty and stunning in this dress. I said as we were close. I felt like that wasn’t enough of a compliment to give her.There is no outfit Rachel hasn’t worn that doesn’t look good on her; her body is just so fit for any dress, and how beautiful her face is is indescribable.“Thank you.” She said that and let out that comforting smile.“And you look good in your outfit; you smell very nice too. She said it and laughed a little; I noticed her face got quite red.“Thank you, I answered. The joy I felt as I saw her put on the dress I gave her made me feel so good; I was extremely happy.The day I saw the gown, I knew it wo
Rachel’s POV The next morning I woke up, walked to the bathroom to wash up, and left the room. I woke up quite late, so once I was done washing up, they called me for breakfast.I walked out of my room and looked at David’s door, and that was when it dawned on me that he had already traveled.I feel so sad; I didn’t even have the chance to say goodbye properly, and the thoughts of last night flushed back into my head.Did I sound rude when I indirectly told him I wouldn’t miss him? I guess I will miss him. I don’t like this feeling.I massaged my chest and went downstairs.I greeted Luna as I got there. Scott wasn’t present in the dining room either, just Luna and me.“I know you must be wondering why it's just you and me, right? Luna asked, looking at me.“Yes, I know David and the Alpha left this morning, but what about Scott? I asked; at least he was supposed to be here. If it's only me in this house, I’ll have to go to Mary’s place later in the day. I can't die of boredom in this
Rachel POVI picked up the call.“Rachel, how are you? He asked as I picked up the call.“I am alright; what about you? How are you doing? I asked him, lying properly in bed, if I got even more comfortable.“I am good, just a little stressed out. He answered. “You’ll be fine when you get enough sleep. I replied immediately, and he told me a few things about his introduction to the elders.I enjoyed the whole night as we talked; I didn’t even want the call to end, but I had to so he could get some rest. We ended the call after telling each other goodnight.And I slept off afterwards.The next morning, during breakfast, Scott came back, and I was excited to see him. Luna asked him to freshen up and join us for breakfast, so he left for his room.After a while, he joined us in the dining room, but we were almost done.We all talked a little, and Luna left for her chambers; just Scott and I remained in the dining room.“So how was your journey? Is it far from here? I asked as he put the
Rachel’s POV “It’s nothing; this meal reminded me of someone. I answered. “Oh okay.” He replied. There was silence as we ate, and I decided to speak.“This is my favorite food, by the way. I looked at him, and he raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at me.“Are you for real? He asked in a surprised tone.Yes, I am. I nodded and laughed a little.“It’s also my favorite food. He exposed himself, and I was so surprised that all this while this same dish has been his favorite and I have been meaning to ask him.And I was so happy we have something similar, at least. After lunch, we headed back home.Going back into the room freaks me out, but I have no other option; at least that is where I can do whatever privately.I walked into the room, changed up, took my bath, and stepped out shortly. I climbed into bed when I was done dressing, going through my phone to see whatever I was expecting, but unfortunately, I didn’t.The house has been so cold and boring to me since David left.We
Rachel’s POV “I don’t know anything about her; we haven’t seen each other for a while. I answered, and my voice clearly showed how annoyed I was.“Okay, I asked because I want you to stay far away from her, and wherever you see her, try to avoid her. He uttered it, and I got confused. I thought it was the other way around, but now Laura is a bad person?“Is there something wrong? I am a bit confused here. I said, waiting for his response.“Everything is fine; I just want you to stay away from her. There is something I would like us to discuss, and it shouldn’t be on the phone; when I’m back, I’ll tell you everything. He said that, and I got even more worried.What must Laura have done to make David feel this way? And why should I avoid her?“But I just want to know the reason why I should avoid her. I asked so he could tell me the reasons.“I am not in the rightful place to tell you anything yet; I will tell you once I get back, okay? He said his voice was so low, like to the point w
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
