Rachael's POVAlthough my eyes were shut, I could feel Jake's face draw even closer to me. My breathe hinged in my throat, my lips felt dry.. as I waited in anticipation.. "My Prince!" In fear I pushed Jake away, then ran to his bed like some scared chicken."That only just makes you more suspicious." Jake groaned, standing of from the ground and massaging his butts.. apparently, I pushed him really hard."No it's not." I whispered, not wanting anyone outside that door to hear my voice. "Uhm, I think if anyone out there would walk in here, they had probably think— we were making out." He stared at the door, then back at me while grinning. "Uhm.. I.. well.. I.." Jake chuckled and walked to the door while shaking his head. He opened the door and I tried to see who it was but I couldn't. His whole body was covering the entire thing.I think he is doing it on purpose. «yeah, to protect us.» Eliana drawled, I rolled my eyes and shut her off. What does she know? And why would Jake pr
Rachael's POV"Let's go meet Jared." I sighed, finally deciding to see him after a bit of deliberation. I could tell that Eliana wanted us to go meet with him. She couldn't even hide it one bit.Jared is my best friend so I didn't want to make him mad or anything. Although I wasn't in the mood to see any of the brothers, I thought it was fine to make an exception in his case. What are best friends for?I gently opened my door and snuck out of the room to avoid being spotted by anyone as I made my way to our secret spot. Since he was already there, I knew that I had to hasten my footsteps a bit, but at the same time, I had to be discreet.I tiptoed down the passageway until I got outside the building. Then, I looked in different directions, just to make sure that none of the brothers were anywhere around me.«Coast is clear. We can move» Eliana remarked and off we went.As we got to the garden, I heard a voice; one that sounded very familiar, and I slowed my pace just to be sure if it
Jared's POVI sat on the ground, my leg dipped into the little pond that had formed beneath the waterfall.., I was waiting for Rachael to arrive at our secret place but she didn't seem to be forthcoming.It had already been well— over an hour and there was still no sign of her. Yet, I waited, hoping that somehow, she'd bring herself here despite her obvious attempts to avoid me for the past five days.Suddenly, I heard some footsteps behind me and I turned my head grinning happily, thinking it was Racheal.It wasn't. It was someone else whom I had least expected. Xavier. I know aside from Racheal, he is the only one that could bring a smile on my face just from seeing his face. I quickly stood up as Xavier made his way to where I stood, with a cheeky smile on his face."Xavier, what are you doing here?" I asked with a stern look on my face.I love him being here, but I can't show it. Is not like we are friends or anything..Secondly, This place is only known to Rachael and me— or s
Rachael's POVMy eyes fluttered opened, a wide grin spread across my lips. Today I didn't need any alarm waking me up, cause the excitement at the very pit of my stomach woke me. I have been waiting for the day to come, the day I start what I call #Torment_Alpha-Blackwood, I have made preparations with Jared and Orchid for a whole week.. now it's time I implement. I stood up with so much agility and femininity, cause that is what I would be displaying for anybody who cares to see me. There's a new me re-surfacing, and she comes out now. I cat-walked gracefully to the bathroom, had what I call a warm long satisfying bath, then walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. I opened the wardrobe gleefully, "Aha, there you are!" I screamed out in excitement taking the gown I had prepared for this day, out of the wardrobe. My fingers caressed the purple satin made dress, it was specially tailored for me and of course, Jared black card paid for it. Jared had so graciously handed me a
Rachael's POVJust like yesterday, I woke up this morning feeling mischievous, is yet another day to annoy Alpha Blackwood. I stood up feeling delighted by the plan I had orchestrated with Jared and Orchid. It's time for this family to let fun into their life, and I know exactly what fun is and bonus, Alpha Blackwood hates fun— unless, he is the one behind it and with this contest, y'all can see his idea of fun.. isn't really nice.I walked into my bathroom, and splashed a little water on my face making sure I am fully awake and ready, to wake everyone else. Giggling mischievously, I skipped out of my room giddily heading for the music room. This is one of the few rooms the princes hates, none of them had a thing for music. I stared at the beautiful golden trumpet which has been placed really close to the grand piano, by the left side of the room— I and this golden trumpet have had what I call, not so pretty memories together. Back then, orchid would place this on my ear blow on i
Author's POV:It was finally time for the fun games and everyone in the palace, gathered outside at the field except for Alpha Blackwood who remained in his room.The atmosphere was full of so much happiness as giggles and chatter could easily be heard around the field. The servants most especially were very delighted that they didn't have to do any work at all. They could hardly believe it was really happening.Rachael was the last to arrive. She made sure she came when everyone had arrived, just so she'd show that she was in charge of the games."Let's all come together." She beckoned to them. "We're about to begin."The servants stopped the chattering and walked to the centre of the field. Annie and the boys also made their way there as everyone cast their gazes at Rachael, so they could hear what she had to say."We're going to have different games today and it'll be the Royals versus the servants. Who wants that?"The servants put up their hands first. They were all smiles. They
Rachael's POV"My... my parents, they are... they are alive?" I stuttered trying to get myself to comprehend what Justin had just said."Yes, they are, but there's something that you need to understand, Rachael." Justin replied a guilty look slowly creeping into his eyes. Why is he guilty?"It's not just your parents that is still living."I exhaled.. "okay.. Who else is alive?" I wrapped my hands around my chest, staring at him patiently."The entire clan. Your people Racheal, the silver spring pack never fell."I burst into a fit of laughter, using my palm to cover my mouth.. as I laughed wholeheartedly."My clan? It never fell??" He stared at me pitifully, placing both of his hands on my shoulder and staring deep into my eyes... "Racheal, I know you don't really understand what I'm saying, but that is the true. I'm saying the truth.""Okay. That's great, even though I still don't understand what you are saying.. but I am happy to know my family, my clan is till standing strong. Bu
Rachael's POV"You are lying.. my father would never sell me off. I was and still is his little princess." I argued trying so much to believe in my own words. There's no reason for my father to sell me off, we were best of friend and the last time.. the last time I saw him, we had a beautiful father and daughter moment. So why would he??"Awwn.. daddy's little princess. How wicked of daddy." He mocked his lips formed into a pout. "You just want to torture me, don't you? You just want to see me suffer, right? HAVEN'T YOU HAD ENOUGH OF MY PAIN?? What more do you want from me??? What!!" I shrieked.. a tear drop from my left eye and rolled down my cheeks, then another one.. and another one escaped free, and soon— I was a crying mess. "My father.. he would never. He.. he had.. he had no reason..." I whispered softly, afraid if my voice was a little more louder I would hear the doubts in my own voice."Ohh.. a reason he had. He realized how worthless you were to him, you were the easiest
