Rachael's POV"Which one of them would you prefer?" Orchid asked holding out two dresses in front of me. "Would you love the blue or the yellow?"I alternated my gaze between the two dresses and wondered which of them was going to look better on me. I didn't want to make the wrong choice for any reason. I had to look my best."Let me see how the back of this blue one looks. Turn it around." I ordered her. I had already made up my mind to wear that one. I just wanted to order her around for the fun of it."That looks fine. Let me have it, Orchid."She seemed to take offence to the manner with which I called her name and I took offence to that. Too bad, it was only the way that I felt that mattered. She was a nobody now, just like I previously was."What is it?" I asked as I took the dress from her. "Do I smell annoyance?"She shook her head. "Good. I'd hate to slap some manners into your head, Orchid!"I put the dress on, as quickly as possible feeling very excited. I was so excited. I
Rachael's POV"Do it then. Kneel before me, Justin, son of Alpha Blackwood." I ordered, pointing to the floor.. so I could make it even more humiliating for Justin.I wanted to know how desperately he needed me to choose him, and this was the perfect way to do it. He growled at me as his ego got the better of him for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses, shaking his head a few times in disbelief."Should I leave? Is it something you can't do? I need to know so that I can use my time for much more important things, than sitting on my bed to watch you stare at me." I sighed, rolling my eyes."Fine. I'll do it."He lowered his self to the ground with a bit of reluctancy, and I couldn't help but let a huge grin shoot out across my lips. The scenario before my eyes felt so satisfying, one that I would never forget. I could hardly believe it... I had the first son of Alpha Blackwood kneeling right in front of me.It feels so unreal."You see? That wasn't so hard... was it?" I remar
Rachael's POVJake gazed at me intently. I guess he is doing his best to digest what I had just said. I placed my hands on my waist and stared into his eyes, waiting for him to say something.Suddenly, he looked away and began to laugh. Then he turned his attention back to me, still laughing and I wondered what was so funny to him, cause I did not crack a joke or say anything of that sort to him."Hold on, Rachael, are you playing pranks on me?" He asked, as the laughter slowly faded. "You're just joking, aren't you? I mean, you have to be joking.""I'm not joking at all, Jake." I spat very quickly, so he'd see the seriousness of what I had to say. "Tell me, did I give you my word that I would make you the next Alpha of crimson pack? No, I never did Jake.""No! No! No Racheal, you can't do this! Do you know what I had to go through just to get you to the position that you currently hold? YOU LYING BITCH!!" He thundered and I had to move back in fear.,"I made a deal with my father to
Justin's POVI sat on the floor with my hands on my head after Jackson had left the gym. I thought I only had Jake as my competition, and that was already too much for me.... Now, I have one more brother to contend with.My whole world seemed to be crashing as my chances of winning got increasingly slimmer. Since the three of us all wanted the same thing, there was no guarantee that the fourth guy wouldn't decide to jump in on the fun.I shook my head. I am not one to back down from a fight and I will not let anyone win."Fuck!" I yelled slamming my hands on the ground. "Hey, this doesn't change anything. You are still going to win, so what we have one more person to contend with?" Xavier said bending low besides me, staring at me with so much worry etched in his eyes. I sighed heavily getting up from the ground, "I have work to do, if I am going to win." I walked out of the gym, having one location in mind.. Racheal's room. I need to act fast. I need her to announce me as her mat
Rachael's POVI wiped my tears off hastily, going to seat on my bed while avoiding to look at Jared.I really wish Jared would go, I do not want him seeing me in such a state. I am feeling a lot of things right now, and I do not need him to pity me just the same way, Justin did. Ugh, I can't believe I let him hug me. I let the enemy see me tear up, that isn't me. *Well we already did, there's no need crying over spilled milk.* Eliana huffed. She's probably angry at me too, I am also angry at myself. "Okay.. will you talk to me? What was that all about??" Jared asked dipping himself on my bed, sitting so close to me. I could literally feel his worried eyes on me. "What happened, Rachael? Tell me." Jared proved further... "Why were you hugging Justin, what was that scene all about?""It's nothing." I sniffed. "That did not look like nothing." "Damn it Jared! I said.. I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!" I screamed at him, getting up from the bed.. my chest heaving really hard.Then—
Rachael's POVA few days had passed and the tension in the Pack kept rising, especially amongst Justin and Jack. Unlike what I used to know them for, they seemed more divided than they had ever been.They barely spoke to one another and when they crossed paths, they stared daggers at themselves and I loved it so much. It was exactly how I expected things to be between them, and all that I could hope for was for things to be even worse. I knew it was only a matter of time too.I had woken up that morning with a slight headache as I barely got enough sleep. I kept waking up at intervals and I couldn't even tell why. Sleep had decided to make itself my enemy.I stood from the bed and went straight to the bathroom to have my bath. I had to head over to the kitchen as soon as possible, so I could supervise the chefs. Mrs Orchid was there and I knew she'd always do a great job. Nevertheless, I want to show her who's in-charge.I picked up my toothbrush and brushed my teeth, then I got into
Rachael's POVOur private plane landed in Venice Marco Polo airport and with great delight, i climb down the ladder that had be connected to the planes. I yawned, covering my mouth with my right hand still feeling the effects of the flight. It's been so long since I got on a plane.Venice was a city I had always wanted to visit for so many years. I was very little when I first saw it on a tourist magazine, and ever since.. I have always wanted to experience the pages of that magazine first-hand. "So.. we would go to the hotel first, sleep in and thenI will take you on a tour around Venice tomorrow. How does that sound." Jackson ask staring at me gleefully. "I would say lovely, except— Why can't we start the touring today?" I pout, pleading with my eyes. "Oh, I thought you would be too tired after that long ride, to want to go on a tour." Awwn how caring, except I do not need you caring."Well— I was tired, but not anymore.""Okay, if you say so— I don't see why we can't start th
Rachael's POV"Ah." I yawned opening my eyes slowly, stretching my body on the bed.Why? Why those the ceiling color looks different from what I had seen last night, I am really sure the ceilings where white but the ceiling I am staring directly at— is grey.Justin! I saw Justin last night, where is he?I sat up on the bed with speed, then I realize— I wasn't in the hotel room anymore. This doesn't look anything like the hotel room."This is definitely not the hotel room, I checked into last night." I said out loud, confirming the thoughts I had already."Where am I?" I asked myself. "How on earth did he bring me here?"Okay what do I remember—I remember being shocked that he was standing outside my hotel room door, when he should be back in crimson pack. And then, he begged me to let him in, I did and the next thing I knew.. black. It was all black.Did he drugged me? But how?Ohh— he placed a white handkerchief on my nose, I remember struggling a tad bit, but clearly it wasn't en
