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 I was shocked when I heard him say that; it was something I didn’t expect.“Pardon.” I guess I didn’t hear him correctly.“I know I said it so suddenly.” He smiled softly.“I am sorry, but what if the Alpha finds out about it?” I had to ask. I know I once had feelings for Scott, but I don’t know how they vanished.Should I call that love or a crush?“That shouldn’t be a problem; I just wanted to let you know, even if nothing works out between us.” He smiled. All of a sudden, David’s thoughts rang through my head.Why am I thinking of him now?“Uhm, Scott, can I think about it?" As much as I don’t really have feelings for Scott, I still like him, and I won’t stand to see him get hurt.“You shouldn’t bother about that too much.” He laughed softly.And I smiled and felt comfortable with his words.“I just want to let you know about it.” He smiled and kissed my cheek.“Lunch will be over soon; go eat some food.” He said it, smiled, and left.Scott is so romantic!What shoul
Rachel’s POV "Well, thank you." I answered and smiled. I was so surprised because I wasn’t expecting such a huge compliment from him; this was actually the first time he complimented me this way.He then smiled, started up the engine, and drove out.I noticed my face turning red, and I didn’t want him to know, so I looked away from the window."Are you okay?" He asked, and I sensed he looked at me.Yes, I am very fine." I answered and let out a smile.I noticed my red cheeks were now reduced, and they were not too red anymore. I saw it through the window, so I looked at him, and he smiled at me and looked back at the road.The drive was a long one, and I enjoyed it too."Let’s stop here." He said so, and we dropped by a classic big restaurant."Wow, this place looks nice." I commented. "Yeah." He said this as he parked properly, and we both came down."So is this the place you haven’t taken Laura to?" I asked because he told me something like that a while ago."Uhm, no." He laughed.
Rachel’s POV I woke up and saw David’s face very close to mine, but his eyes were on my lips.I also realized my head was on his arm.“Why are you staring at me like that?” I asked him, and he looked up.“Oh, you’re awake.” He smiled. I took my head from his arm and sat upright.“I hope I didn’t wake you." He asked, and he sat upright too.No, you didn't, and thank you.” I smiled at him.He smiled and nodded.“Let’s head home now.”“No! Can we just stay a little longer?” I muttered. “You want to stay for a while?” He asked. “Yes,” I replied.“Alright then.”We sat and talked for a while.This new David is really nice, and I hope he doesn’t change anytime soon.After a while, I went back to the car to go back home.“I would really love to go back there, David.” I said this as we were heading home.Yeah, sure, anytime you want to go there, I’ll take you.” He said it and smiled.“Thank you; I really enjoyed myself today.” I smiled and looked at him.“I am glad you did.” He smiled at
Rachel’s POV I smiled at him and continued eating.We were all silent for a while and just ate our food.“You guys aren’t talking anymore; do I make you guys feel uncomfortable?” David asked. “No, not at all.” Mary laughed. “Do I, Rachel?” He looked at me.“Oh,” Mary muttered.No, you don’t; please eat your food.” I answered and smiled slightly.Shortly after, David got a call and left the table.“Rachel, I will see you around.” Scott uttered something and smiled softly before leaving.“Are you sure Scott is okay?” Mary asked as we both watched as he walked away.“I don’t know, Mary, and I don’t know why David has been acting so strange lately.” I said so and nodded in agreement.“Have you asked him why the sudden change?” She asked. “I haven't, though.”I guess I’ll have to ask him that.A few moments later, school was over.“Let’s go,” David said as I walked up to him.“Okay.” I said that and got into his car.“You look worried.” He uttered it while driving back home.“Uhm, I wa
Rachel POV I gasped as he held me tightly.I got up after he took his hands away. I couldn’t even look at his face.“I am sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable.” He uttered something, and I managed to look at him.“No, it’s fine. Are you okay?” I asked him.Yes, I am.” He laughed a little.There was an awkward silence for a while.“Rachel.” He called out my name.“Hmm.” I raised my brows and looked at him.“I really like you, Rachel, and I don’t know if that will ever change. Thinking that David was not into you will make things easier for you and me, but now I think he is picking up more interest in you.”“What!” My voice wasn’t too audible.“David likes Laura, not me.” I added. “He is beginning to like you.” Scott didn’t look happy.“And I guess that would make things hard for me to get to you.”“I want to ask you a question, Rachel.” He turned properly in my direction.“Okay.”“And I want you to be honest with me.”From the way he sounded, I hope there is no problem, and from t
David’s POV I noticed how Rachel cried a lot, plus her mood wasn’t so good as we left the house.What’s going on with her?“We should just go home; you don’t look fine to me. Rachel. "What is wrong? Why are you this way?” I asked her, and I brought her out of the house so she could have fun and not cry.“I want to go home.” She said it with a cracked voice.“Let’s go.” I took her hand, and we walked out of the place. I drove out immediately as soon as we got into the car.I asked her why she was crying and what really changed her mood. She didn’t want to say it; obviously, she was crying, but she didn’t want to spill out what made her cry.She insisted she wanted to go home, and I took her home.We got home.“Rac...” she walked out immediately as we stepped down from the car.What’s with the mood?I went into my room. I had taken a bath already, so I changed up. I laid on my bed for a while before going to Rachel’s room to ask her why she was feeling sad.I’m sure by now she has res
