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
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
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
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 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
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
