#Chapter 54 Do you regret it? Never
Rachel POV
Bella & Rachel's Apartment - Rachel's Bedroom
Bella was a wizard when it came to organizing the pantry or the refrigerator. She was able to find a place for all the leftovers I had brought home even though it was enough food for a week. I was grateful for her because if it had been left up to me, I'm sure I would have simply thrown everything away only to hate myself later for the waste.
I hadn't been able to look at Tyler on the ride home though he had done his best to get my attention, cheer me up, gain a reaction of any kind from me since I was frozen inside.
I couldn't respond though because I'd inadvertently reminded myself of all the things wrong with us.
Why had I made a joke about wrinkles?
Neither of us were old enough to worry about age lines. We were healthy and we would benefit from our werewolf birthright whether we could shift again or not. I had only wanted to joke around with him,

Rachel POVBlue Diamond - Kitchen"Rachel? Rachel!"I had no idea how long Bella had been trying to get my attention. I was perched on a counter in the kitchen of Blue Diamond while Bella made the specialty dessert of the night. The delicate tarts were more of a pain in the ass than they seemed to be worth in my estimation."What? I'm sorry. I was caught up in my head.""You were thinking about Tyler," Bella snorted, "You're going back to him because he bought you pasta? I can cook pasta."Jack laughed loudly before flicking flour into Bella's face. He and I were visiting while we went over our plans to get me a visit to House Campbell territory. I would have felt bad about being in her way while she was working except Bella clearly enjoyed the company."She says that as if you're terrible for thinking about your mate. How often do you think about me? No, really, tell me. I need the ego boost.""Y

Rachel POVBella & Rachel's ApartmentFull from 'taste-testing' Bella's special desserts, I wanted to get a nap in before I had to do anything else with my day. I was alone in the apartment when my phone rang. I was surprised to see Nathan in the caller ID screen. What was he wanting?"Hello?""Rachel! I'm so glad you picked up. Can we talk?"I wasn't sure how I felt about talking to Nathan. He'd been so desperate he had scared me. My bruises had faded a lot faster than my fear.Ultimately, I decided to talk to him because my need for him to be the boy I remembered outweighed my anxiety."Sure," I agreed, "We can talk. What did you have in mind, Nathan?""Can I come in? I'm right outside. I promise I'll leave if you want. I just want to talk and I'd rather do it in person if we can."Knowing Nathan was right outside the door gave me a momentary shiver. I wasn't sure if I was scared

Rachel POVBella & Rachel's Apartment"Honestly? I had too much going on to worry about hurting you. My brother had been kidnapped. Men were hurting him. Torturing him. They would have killed him, Nathan."Nathan looked at me in surprise. I could see the shock on his face as he took in what I said.There wasn't any doubt in his eyes which I knew came from the fact he'd known me our whole lives. Neither of us had hidden our family secrets from one another. Nathan had known Patrick was a gambler with bad luck as long as I'd known; I knew House Lewis mourned only having one son to their name when they'd wanted a houseful of children."I had to come up with half a million to save him. Patrick had sold me to pay the debt. I got away," I reassured him as I saw a flush creep along the hard line of his jaw, "That's how I met Tyler. I was taken to this---club. He was there in a room down the hall from where I was held. The

Tyler POVMoonrise Entertainment - Executive Level"I think I'm making headway for your girl!"I looked up from the contract I was going over to see my father letting himself into my office without a by-your-leave.John Wright had never been good with boundaries. As far as my father was concerned, this would always be his company and we were all only visitors playing in his sandbox while he was willing to share."What are you talking about?"I'd learned to be direct with him. Father wanted to play games while I didn't have the right nature for it."My granddaughter," he said.There was a smugness to his tone I knew meant he was congratulating himself on finding out I was having a daughter instead of a son even though I hadn't shared the information with him. The bastard could choke on the knowledge. I wasn't hiding my child's gender. He hadn't gotten a foothold over on me; I was not about to let h

Rachel POVBella & Rachel's Apartment - Rachel's Bedroom"Nathan Lewis wants to take you into Moonglow territory. Is that his idea or yours?"I blinked as I processed what Tyler was saying at the same time I tried to take in how he was saying it."Tyler, are you drunk?"Liquor could affect werewolves the same as humans, but it took a lot more to intoxicate one of our kind than a human. I had fallen asleep only an hour ago according to the clock on my bedside table. Was the thought of Nathan being my escort enough to drive Tyler into a bottle?"Yes. Did you ask him to take you? Or did he offer?"I turned the lamp on as I sat up in bed, making myself as comfortable as I could against the headboard. My stomach felt bigger than ever as the sheets bunched at my waist; I wondered when I would begin to gain too much weight to fit into my clothes.Neither of those Alphas were going to want me when I was fat, were they?"I as

Rachel POVCamelot RecordsNo one has paid me any particular attention. I thought everyone would be able to tell I had given in to temptation with my former mate the night before, but I looked myself over carefully in the mirror as I got ready to go to the studio. I didn't look any different no matter how hard I studied my reflection.Bella was surprised I showered before finding breakfast -I normally don't bother with a shower in the morning- but I had zero desire to leave even a trace scent of arousal on my skin.I'd rather be hungry and clean than full and smelling of sex.Howard called to make sure I was on my way in so I skipped breakfast entirely in favor of getting to Camelot Records on time. I knew we had to go over the final Master on my LP. I was supposed to approve the final versions; they cared about my input even though this was my first record."Rachel?"I looked up from the soundboard as H

Rachel POVOutside Camelot RecordsHours of going over tapes made me feel numb to sound. I walked outside Camelot Records only to stand on the sidewalk staring around me at the world moving along while everything felt muffled. I had to resist the urge to check my ears for plugs.I was so caught up in shaking off my sound shock, I didn't notice Tyler until his hand was already curled around my bicep. He tugged me against his chest and I screamed as if I were being murdered, startled and stunned by the strange sensation of someone grabbing at me."Rachel! It's just me."Tyler shook me a little as he pulled us away from the safety of the recording studio. His sedan had pulled up to the curb; Adam waved at me from behind the wheel. I could tell from his expression he'd heard me shrieking my head off.Naturally Tyler's Beta found it amusing when I was caught unawares. I had always thought Adam possessed a warped sen

Rachel POVThe Smiling Elephant Thai Restaurant"A booth in the back. Privacy is important."Tyler offered a folded bill to the hostess whose smile widened even as her eyes darted to me and away again as if she didn't want to attract my attention.I refused to think about what kind of woman she might think me to be if my dinner date wanted privacy with me even in the restaurant. There was no sense in getting upset over what Tyler wouldn't have considered before making the request. I knew he lived in a world where his expectations were meant to be met without question.He didn't intentionally make me sound like an escort---but I was going to tease him about it as soon as we were alone."Sparkling water for us both. Thank you."The hostess gave a short nod, surprise evident on her face as she left us at the table."I don't think she's used to taking orders. Especially not for Mister Man and his Lady of the Night."
