Rachel’s POV We were done with the shopping and went back home. It was late in the evening, and the Alpha was back. We all sat at the dining table, having dinner; everyone was present.We are done with dinner now, but we have to wait to see if the Alpha has anything to say to us before leaving.“Rachel.” The Alpha called my name, and I gasped. I wasn’t expecting to be called so suddenly.“I heard what happened to you; I hope you are fine now. He asked as he faced up to look at me.“Yes, I am very fine now. I answered; his voice was so commanding, and he is used to talking like this.“I hope it is not bothering you too much. He asked, and then he faced his food to eat.“No, I am finally getting out of that. I replied immediately.He asked a few more questions, which I answered. He also asked David if his injured fist was getting better and praised him and Scott for what they did.“You are now giving me more reason to give you this title quickly. I am proud of you both. The Alpha said t
Chapter 51Rachel’s POV The morning was so bright, and the sun shone brightly too. It was also a Sunday, and I love Sundays. I stretched out and stood up from bed, and then I realized David was here last night.Maybe he noticed as I slept off, and then he left. I laughed because it looked funny from the way I imagined it to be.I walked into the bathroom, quickly washed up, and stepped out.Oh, today is Luna’s birthday! Happy birthday to her! I smiled. I bought her a little boxed gift. It was a golden bracelet I got for her; I used all my savings for this because she deserves it.I needed to change and go downstairs, so when I was done, I headed downstairs.And moved to Luna’s chambers.I noticed the Alpha was there, and I was about to move out when my name was called.I gasped; it was now a normal thing for me to gasp when my name was called by the Alpha.I walked in hurriedly and greeted them both, and they responded. Luna’s face looked so bright.“Happy birthday, Luna. I wish you
David’s POVIt was my mother's birthday today, and I am sure she would be so excited for the party.I thought so hard about what to get her for her birthday, and luckily, I got something special for her. I am so happy she loved them too.During breakfast, I learned that Rachel’s birthday had passed and that it was the first day she came to the park house.I was glad her father brought up a plan for her to choose a date so we could throw a party for her.Mother told me about what happens to her whenever I have sex with Laura, so ever since that day I have stopped doing it. I regretted causing her pain ever since Travis said those words to me; it felt true because I really caused her pain.And also, the previous day, when I visited Laura and she asked for it, I couldn’t do it anymore, so I wouldn’t cause her more pain.It was almost time to go to the hall. Scott and I had to wait for Rachel to finish, then we would go.Scott left to attend to something outside, but he will be back short
Rachel’s POV I couldn’t stand there anymore, so I decided to leave to find David and ask him if he knew about this. I couldn’t find David quickly, but fortunately, I saw Scott.“Hey Rachel, what’s up?” He said this as he walked up to me.“Yeah, I am good. Uhm, Scott, do you remember the day you saved me from Travis?” I asked and furrowed my eyebrows.Yes, I do.” He answered immediately.“And the driver who drove that day?”“Of course, Rachel, what happened?” He asked. “I think I saw that driver speaking with Laura a minute ago.” I revealed it to him, and he raised his brows in surprise.“What! Where did you see them?” He questioned. “I can take you there.” I pointed at the entrance to the door.Alright, let’s go.” He said that, and we both left, walking to where I saw them.“Scott, he is going away!” I pointed to the car he entered, and immediately he noticed. We saw him start up the engine and drive away.“Fuckk!!” Scott shouted as he missed him again.“Uhm, you guys, what are you
David’s POV School was over, and Rachel walked up to me.“So should we head home now? She asked as she held the car door.“Rachel, I think you’d follow Scott; I want to see Laura at her place. I answered, and immediately she nodded.“Alright sure.” She said that and walked out, and I called Scott.“Hey Scott.” He picked her up.David, what’s up?"“I can’t take Rachel home; I am heading to Laura’s place; I want to discuss something with her. I said to Scott“Oh, okay, then, Scott answered.“Alright, later.” I said that and hung up.I got into my car and drove to Laura’s house, and a few minutes later I got there.“Where is Laura? I asked the security guard at her house. I learned that she wasn’t at home.“She stepped out an hour ago, immediately after she returned from school. The security was revealed as he bowed.Where could she have gone?“Alright.” I said, and he bowed and left.I entered my car and was about to drive out when I heard a car horn.Maybe she might be the one. They o
Rachel’s POVDavid and I were on our way to school the next day.“You have been acting strangely the past few days. What's wrong with you?” He asked, breaking the comfortable silence.No, I am fine. How strangely have I been acting?” I asked and looked at him.“I don’t know; we haven’t talked for a while, and you are always quiet now, but other days your mouth runs like a tap.” He blurted and laughed a little.“What?” I laughed. No, for real, I am okay.He told me about Laura’s visit yesterday and said he didn’t notice or doubt that she would do such a thing and that Laura wouldn’t stoop so low to do it.I had to agree because that’s his girlfriend anyway, so I shouldn’t have those thoughts of her being among Travis.We got to school after the long drive, and the way David stared at me made me wonder if this guy was a playboy maybe before Laura changed his life or whatever.“Stop staring at me that way.” I furrowed my brows as we both walked into school.“How did you notice I was star
Rachel’s POVI furrowed my brows as David looked at me.Rachel, to be the future Luna, the wedding will take place after you tittle.” The Alpha spoke, which made me choke. I coughed so bad.“Take some of the water, Rachel. How did it get you so choked up?” Luna said this as she gave me water to drink.I finally cleared my throat properly, but I still had some burns there.What he said about David and I made me flinch because David and I have not had any solid plan to stop this wedding from happening.“I noticed how you gasped when I mentioned you and David’s wedding; you will have to learn more quickly because it is in a short period of time.”But all these things are very difficult. The alphas voiced it like it was something easy, and we both don’t really want to get married.“It’s not so far anymore, Rachel.” Luna looked at me and smiled, and I just had to form a fake smile.David's eyes and mine met. I tried to eye-talk to him, but he just looked away immediately.How embarrassing.
Rachel’s POV “Why won’t you go on with the wedding, Rachel?” The Alpha asked and looked straight at me, waiting for my reply.“I-I….”“Uhm, mother, she didn’t mean it that way; of course we would, right, Rachel?" David interrupted. “I don’t want this wedding, David.” I had to spit out the truth; if we kept on lying, I don’t know if we could ever get out of it.“Why don’t you want this wedding?” The Alpha asked, but this time with a cool voice.“I don’t love David, and David doesn’t love me either; he is in love with someone else.” I summoned the courage to speak out and looked at David’s face, which looked pale now.Why is he acting so weird all of a sudden? Aren’t I speaking the truth?“Why don’t you love him? Or you are in love with another?” The Alpha asked. I was quite surprised by his tone; he didn’t sound angry at all.“I don’t love anyone for now.” I replied. David didn’t utter a word; he looked at me like he was broken.And that gave me a strange feeling, and immediately I t
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
