Rachael's POV"What nonsense are you spewing, slave!" Alpha Blackwood yelled in rage."It's not nonsense, and I am longer a slave!" I screamed back."YOU!!...""You need to calm down, Father." Justin said cutting his father off from his fit of rage."Oh, I am calm don. If I wasn't, that slave right there wouldn't have a mouth to talk. She's trying to seduce you all for her benefits!""Maybe in the beginning of this whole madness, that was my thought. But I am saying the truths with no hidden agendas." I don't give a damn if Alpha Blackwood does not believe me, but I need the princes to know.. I would never play them or string them along."Do you mean what you just said... Are you really in love with all of us?" Jake asked his eyes gazing deep into mine. I know the answer he wants..."I don't know what happened or how it happened, Jake. I.. I just kind of realized that I was falling in love with all of you." I confirmed staring at him in a sorry manner. "The more I spent time with you
Rachael's POV"Rachael! Rachael!"I gently opened my eyes on hearing the distant calling of my name. sounded like Jackson's voice. As my eyes got fully open, I was able to confirm that the voice belongs to Jason. He stood in front of me, gazing down at me.I groaned a little bit as I tried to sit up. I had been crying all night before falling asleep. I feel so exhausted."You should head back to your room and sleep, Rachael." He said. 'My father won't be too pleased to find you sleeping in the dining room.""To hell with what your father thinks." I quickly refuted. "How can I have a good night's sleep when Jared, my best friend, is probably being tortured to his death?""Listen."I stayed still and paid keen attention.... I listened. Nothing. I heard nothing. "See? Jared has stopped screaming. He's probably fast asleep right now and you should do the same, in your room.""No. I can't." I shook my head in refusal. "I'll stay here instead. I will not go to my room to enjoy the comfort
Rachael's POV"Why are we all here?" Jake asked as he walked into the mini small room in the Palace where I had asked all the boys to come meet me. "What's this meeting about?"Jackson arrived much earlier than the others and was already seated in the room. When Justin came in, he refused to sit despite my attempt to get him to do so. Instead, he opted to stand on the right side of the room with his arms folded as he observed all that was going on.I had called for a meeting with all three boys earlier on and somehow, I felt they wouldn't all show up. Surprisingly, they did and I was pretty pleased with that."We all have to work together, to set your brother free from that torture room." I informed them..."If I got you correctly, you mean the one that you actually put him in?" Jake asked with his brow raised."Yeah, I know that I messed up. You don't need to rub it on my face over and over again. I know what I did and I know that it was very wrong." I admitted. "But it already happe
AUTHORS POV: "Did you really think that you— a lesser man, could actually bring down an Alpha?" Alpha Blackwood asked, raising an eyebrow at his son, Jared, and with a cheeky smile on his face.. he broke free from the stems hold without much effort."If you weren't who you are, I would have clapped.. you impressed me with the whole stem thing. For a second there, I was probably scared. But I can't let you go unpunished, can I?" Alpha Blackwood asked, grinning wickedly, taking slow steps to Jared."No, you won't hurt my boy. I won't let you do that." Annie Blackwood cried out, standing in front of Jared protectively."Mother, you do not have to do this." Jared said to her, but Annie was adamant.. "I won't let him hurt you, I won't." "And how are you going to do that? I thought we had established your little scream power, can't stop me." Alpha Blackwood state laughing in mockery.Annie stared at her son, then back at her husband. She knew he was right, her screams wouldn't be able to
Rachael's POVSitting next to Alpha Blackwood on the couch, I stared at Jackson, Justin and Jake who stood before us and the reason for this meeting. "Can someone tell me why I have to sit next to a slave?" Alpha Blackwood groaned, his eyes glaring at the boys."We called for this meeting, father. To know what's next. After the drama with Jared, all that has happened recently in this Palace," Jake finally spoke up. "I feel it's time to set some things straight and just get them over with. Before the whole drama commenced, the contest was about to come to a close. We were on that before the incident so I want to know the status of the contest?""There's no more contest." Alpha Blackwood followed up immediately."We can't accept that, father." Justin swiftly objected, moving forward from behind Jake. "We all want this contest to end with Rachael's choice, so we can't let you end it. Besides, if you're going to end it, doesn't it mean you're going back on your word as an Alpha?"Alpha B
Rachael's POV"This place is too scattered for my liking." I grumbled, shaking my head as I stood in front of my wardrobe.Due to everything that had been going on in the Pack lately, I hadn't had any time to arrange my stuff. Thankfully, I finally did. I picked up the clothes which weren't in their hangers to arrange them properly, in the wardrobe."Ma'am Racheal." Orchid yelled, knocking loudly on my door. "Come in." I yelled back."Good morning, ma'am Racheal." She greets me while walking into my room. "Good morning Orchid." I replied back. "There's a mail carrier here for you at the front door, he said he has a package for you." Orchid informed me.Hmm, I wonder who sent me a package.. wait! Jared, he said, he would send me a phone. It has to be him. "Thank you orchid, you can leave." She made a slight bow and left. I also hurriedly left my room. I can't wait to see the phone he got for me.I saw the mail carrier as soon as I got to the conference room. He was a really good l
Rachael's POV"Yes Rachael, I have a pack." Jackson chuckled, gazing at me briefly."And you are the Alpha of this pack?" I asked, still in shock."No. Not at all. That's not what this is." He replied with a shake of the head. "I just help these people behind the scenes. There's someone else running the show."Just then, an old woman came out of one of the tents and I quickly recognised her. She was the same woman that I met when we visited the camp of the homeless Crimson Pack members. Mrs Matilda."Rachael, meet the leader of this Pack." He introduced her to me."It's good to see you once again." She said to me with a smile."Same here.""Your boyfriend here, doesn't want anyone to know that he's the one behind the creation of this Pack, so he put me in charge of it." She revealed."Wow." I exhaled. "Well, don't you feel like someone else is taking your glory?""One thing about kindness, is that it's about giving to others and not about getting the accolades that comes with it." He
Rachael's POVI laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling feeling so confused.'I love you.'Jared voice wouldn't stop bugging me, and the silence I gave to him after, makes matters worse. I feel guilty. I wish, I wish I can this whole contest thing like really quickly. I don't think I can take any of this feelings anymore. How do I know who I love genuinely? Do I even love any of them genuinely? What if, it's just the mate bond messing with my head.Maybe if Jared is here, I could get a little help. «You can call him, on the phone he gifted you.» Eliana suggested.«That is true, he gave me a phone!» I exclaimed standing up from the bed, I walked over to my wardrobe, opened it and brought out the phone. I already had him on speed dial, courtesy to Jared.. so in no time Jared answered the call. "Bitch, I thought you will never call!" "Wait. Have you been waiting for me to call?" "Yes." He answered simply."You could have just called Jared." "Uhm.. no. Between the both of us, you
