Rachael's POV"Thank you, Jake, I had such an amazing time." I appreciated awkwardly, dropping down from Jake's bike as he parked in his garage. "It was a great time for me too." He replied, I couldn't tell if he was smiling because I wasn't staring at me. I feel so embarrassed, why did I kiss him? "Yeah.. sure." I mumbled back with a nervous laugh. "Racheal.. abut what happened earlier..""Uhm Jake, I need to go in now. It's almost curfew, and I am pretty sleepy at the moment." I did not wait to see if he heard the words that had literally flew out of my mouth in fast mode, or to see if he had any reply.«Why are you embarrassed, you were not this embarrassed when you kissed him.»«Eliana, not now.»«And what did you do after kissing him?? I think we should go home, cause of curfew??» She mimicked what I said to Jake at the ice cream, after I brought the kiss to an end. «I don't know Eliana, this is my first kiss.. I was shy, I guess.»«He is probably wondering if you are bipolar
Justin's POV'I need to check up on Rachael.' I said to Jay, as I got ready to travel. "Since I'm travelling, I need to at least say goodbye to her." I muttered out loud.'Are you sure that's the reason why?' Jay replied suspiciously.'What other reasons would I have?' I questioned back.'Just wondering...''I don't get why you are thinking too deep. Since I have an impromptu appointment outside of crimson pack, I just thought it would be best to say goodbye to the girl I am trying to get fall in-love with me, and make me the alpha.''Okay.. I get it. No need to—'Sighing in an exaggerated manner I shut him off. "Isn't it too early to go see her?" Jay asked popping back up. I took a look at the wall clock and it was only 4:30 am. 'Well, it is. I can't deny that,' I affirmed. 'Yet, there's nothing I can do about it. I'd be leaving by 5:30 a.m. That's just about an hour from now, so it's now or never.''Why would you need an hour to—''Shut up Jay!' I groaned at him, and he stayed quie
Rachael's POVI stood still, rooted to the ground as my eyes remained fixed on the door in front of me.I would have thought— all that happened a moment ago was a just dream. It just had to be. Yet, the pain I felt on my wrist due to Justin's firm grip on it, seemed to prove me otherwise.Although Justin had left the room already, I couldn't help but stare at the door in shock. I never imagined that he would do something like that; not after the discussions that we've had.Just then, I heard a knock on my door. I was immediately jolted back to consciousness. It got me out of my state of shock and I took a deep breath, just to get myself composed."Come in!" I yelled at whoever it was, gazing keenly to know if it was someone that I needed to kick out.It's Orchid. She pushed the door open and walked straight inside. "Good morning, Rachael," she greeted. "Queen Annie has asked to have tea with you. She's waiting for you in the garden."Queen Annie? Tea? Oh wait— I did promise to have t
Jackson's POV"Do you know how brave Rachael is?" I asked Caroline, cutting into my steak. "She's so brave; one of bravest people I've ever met. No one in my entire family could have ever stood up to my father, not even my mother, but she did just that."Caroline said nothing. She's been quiet from the get go, but I didn't mind."She elevated herself to the head of the servants," I further narrated. "Now, she's not a servant anymore but an important guest. What's so amazing about it, is how bravely she did all that. She had the nerves to declare a fun game in the Pack and she pulled it off!""Uh-huh...""Yeah," I nodded. "For the first time, I saw my mother stand up against my dad. I had never seen my mother act out of place until that day, and guess who made that happen? Rachael! She has made the entire palace much more bearable to live for everyone. It's no longer that boring place where nothing interesting happens, so I'm happy with the contest.""Wow, you're happy with the contest
Justin's POVSitting on a couch with a drink in my hand.. I sighed once more. I felt anxious or probably more than that, and the loud music in the club didn't help either. Why? Why did I kiss her forcefully? Why did I ruin my chance of ever being Alpha. She probably hates me now, and if there was a slight chance of my name being in her list.. she is definitely wiping it off. "Justin." The lady beside me called in a flirtatious manner, her hands caressing my chest. Groaning inwardly, I grabbed her hand and took it off. I told Xavier I didn't want any girls tonight, but he just wouldn't listen. I also did tell him I wanted a place to cool off, and all the club apparently— is where my best friend comes to cool off and he thinks that should apply to every living being. Xavier refused me from going him, and so I decided to stay and drink. Maybe if I get myself so drunk I would be able to get her out of my head, even for just a second. I know the Alpha position means a lot to me, but
Rachael's POVI sat on the floor, right next to my bed with Jake beside me. We had a bowl of ice cream in front of us and we did justice to it as much as we could."Can I say that this is our thing?" I asked, scooping the ice cream and putting it into my mouth."Yeah. Sure," he smiled. "It's our secret thing."We both laughed for a moment and then resumed eating in silence, just enjoying the lovely mixed-flavoured ice cream in front of us."You–" we both said at the same time which made me giggle."Go first," Jake said, gesturing with his left hand."No. You go first," I countered."Fine, I'll go first," he shrugged. "It's not like I have much of a choice here. If I don't, we'll just keep going back and forth without end.""I'm glad you know that.""Well, it's about what happened earlier. I mean the K.i.s.s," he said, dragging the words as much as he could."Yeah– About that...""See, Rachael, I like you. I really really do have feelings for you and like I said, it has nothing to do w
Rachael's POVI could hear my own heartbeat as I remained on Justin arms, our eyes gazing into each others.. he lowered his face bringing it in for a kiss. I knew I had to make decision and fast. "Justin." I called stopping him from what he is about to do, "You should drop he down." I muttered bringing our little moment to an end."Yeah.. yes, I should." I stammered dropping me down on the floor."Uhm, I had a nice time Justin. Thank you." I appreciated walking over to the kitchen door, but he stopped me and without turning around I waited to hear what he had to say. "Goodnight Racheal." He said breathing heavily. I nod my head then walked out of the kitchen, somehow.. I felt that wasn't what he wanted to say.Well I better go have a good night sleep...**********I did not have a good night sleep. For some reason I wouldn't stop tossing around the bed, thinking about my predicament with Justin, Jake and Jackson. I have come to a conclusion that I like all three of them and my fee
Rachael's POV"Can you do this?" I asked Jared who sat on the bank of the river, at our secret spot as I swam.I turned around and swam with my back in the water. It was a skill that I'd only recently learned so I thought to show it off to Jared."Seems cool." He smiled uninterested, moving his legs which were in the water.Jared had called me out here, so we could have fun. And sincerely I wanted to take my mind off the guys, Justin, Jake, and Jackson. It's been one hell of continuous confessions of love, and the worst part is.. I also feel the same way for not just one person, but all. When I think I know who I love the most, I realize I'm wrong. Right now I just want to stay from all three of them, no kissing, no lovey dovey, till I figure out if this is all just some mate bond playing with us all. And now Jared is bringing down my spirit, with own sobbing spirit. I don't know what's wrong with Jared, but— he is not being his best self right now. And that is totally weird, cause
