Chapter 9: Talking

Rebecca/Belle POV

I wake up to the noise of someone snoring loudly into my ear. I rubbed my eyes while trying to get used to the morning sun as I groan because it’s fucking 7am. I was going to give whoever who is sleeping next to me a piece of my mind, I turn my head and look at the person next to me and it was William. William has his arms wrap around my waist which makes me feel safe and comfortable.

Wait, why is he here?

My mind was so hazy, and pieces of information came flooding into my mind. Last night's dream makes me feel terrified and I was afraid that this dream will slowly consume me.

I snuggled myself closer to William and it immediately woke him up. He kissed my forehead and said. "Good morning, babe. How did you sleep?"

"Good morning to you too. Your snore woke me up, Will." I pouted and he gave me a kiss on my lips while muttering a “sorry”.

"How are you feeling after yesterday?" His face shone with concern as he held my hands on his, rubbing in circles.

I faked a smile when I remember my dream. I say. "Great but I'm just feeling tired after all those things."

He kisses my neck and says. "If you are feeling tired, I can ring up your manager and tell her to cancel all your schedules for today."

I sighed and shook my head. "You know I love this job so much that I'm willing to spend my entire life doing it non-stop till I decide to retire."

He says. "You are seriously a workaholic. All I wanted was to spend time with you alone. It's been some time since we went for a date."

"Hey! You are a workaholic too. There were a couple of times I asked you to go out with me and you were the one who said you have Alpha duties."

"But that was different. Now I don't have any duties to do and all I want now is to lie in bed with you every minute to spend time with you."

I giggled like a high school kid and replied. "Fine. You are such a possessive boyfriend. I will phone up and tell them that I want to take my photoshoot in the house. And once I'm done, I promise you that I will spend time with you, Okay?"

He kisses my neck and says, "Okay that's better. How about I help you contact your manager while you take a shower?"

"Thank you, babe."

He kisses my lips and says. "Quickly take a shower and head down for breakfast."

I laughed and said. "Yes, Alpha."

Before he could finish his sentence, I dashed to the bathroom knowing what he wants to do with me for calling him Alpha.

He knocked on the door and shouted. "You are going to regret running away from you, Rebecca."

I laughed finding his speech ridiculous and with that, I heard him leaving my room with the help of my wolf ear.

While I was showering, I was suddenly feeling sad all of the sudden. My wolf, Trisha, says. "He is feeling sad, Becca. We need to go to mate.”

I say. "Who cares? Don't you ever reach out to his wolf saying you want him! Did you forget what he did to us? I will not forgive him even if he dies!"

Trisha wanted to say something, but I cut her off saying. "I should have accepted his rejection two years ago. This fucking mate bond is already dead, and it does not have any effect on me since I feel absolutely nothing but hatred to him."

Trisha didn't protest but became quiet and I ignored her by pushing her to the back of my mind and just continued with my day.

After 20 minutes of showering and dressing up, I went to the dining table to eat breakfast. What stopped my position from going there was seeing my old pack having breakfast there.

William saw me, he minds linked me, saying. "I will explain to you later, just come over here and sit with me to eat breakfast."

"Okay, but you better explain to me later when I finish my photo shoot."

He nods in response, and I sit on the chair next to him and avoided everyone's eye contact.

Suddenly someone spoke up which was my mother. "Erm... Belle, how are you feeling?"

For a moment, I felt like I was the old belle, but I quickly brought the thought away and masked my expression.

I looked up at her with no expression at all, " It's Rebecca, not Belle and I'm fine, thanks for your concern."

I continued with my breakfast trying my hardest not to breakdown, knowing that everyone is looking at me. I heard my mother sighed in response when I said that to her.

I had a feeling that someone was looking at me, so I looked around the dining table and saw that it was Blake looking at me. He tried to mind link me, but I blocked him away in my mind.

I looked away from him and went back to focus on my food. Honestly, this breakfast is really awkward having my old pack here.

When I was eating, my bodyguard, Romeo, came to my side and whispered to me saying. "The studio is set up now and they want you there instantly."

I wipe my mouth with a napkin before replying. "Okay, I will be there. Tell them to give me a minute."

He nods his head and walks away from the dining table.

I stand up and say to everyone. "I have to go for a photoshoot, please continue your breakfast, everyone."

William said. "You just ate a bit, are you sure you will be fine?"

I kissed his cheek and say. "I will be fine."

I look at everyone and told them. “If you all have time later, you all can visit my photoshoot studio anytime."

I walked away from the dining table and walk to my studio. When I was about to turn to a corner, someone grabbed my wrists and turned me around to face the person.

When I turned around, I saw that it was Blake and I said, "What are you doing to me!"

"Erm... I just want to tell you some important stuff."

"You have no right to talk to me after all the things you have done to me." He released his grips on my hands and I rub my wrists.

"Can I just please talk to you privately, later if you have the time? Just give me 10 minutes to tell you everything." He says.

I think for a while before answering, “I will talk to you if I have the time."

"Okay.”

I walked away from him, and he suddenly called my name. I look back at him, founding him smiling at me, “You look stunning as before."

When he said that, my wolf and I were feeling happy. But that didn't last when I remembered the day, he rejected me.

"That doesn't mean anything to me."

I looked back to front and walk into my studio.

Rose POV

Seeing Rebecca going for her photoshoot made me worried about her. I mind linked my brother and say. "Why is she eating so little these few days?"

My brother says. "I guess she is on her diet. I'm not sure. Anyway, we are going out for a date today so take care of the house with Ryan. He will take over my position for today."

I feel like Rebecca is feeling tired these few days. Is it because of the nightmare?

Guess I have to set up another appointment for her because it's been two months since she saw her psychiatrist.

I interlocked my hand with my mate, Drake, and say. "Where do you want to go later?"

Drakes sniff my scent from my neck and smiles, "I want to stay on the bed with you for the whole day while making love to you."

I blushed furiously and say. "Can you speak softer? You are going to embarrass me in front of everyone."

"I don't care what other people think about it because all I want to do to you is forever in my mind."

I slap his arm and say. "Stop talking. Focus on your food."

I can't believe I got a mate that is sweet and caring to me. Drake is actually 1.74cm tall which makes me feel short since I am 1.65cm tall. Drake is the type of guy that I could love forever because he is handsome, muscular and all the things that girls will describe him.

I can't wait to have a baby with him.

Unknown POV

I look at the footage in front of me. Rebecca seems to enjoy her life right now and is having fun with her right now.

I called my man and said, " Give me tips that you have right now about her." The person says. "Her old pack is here, and it seems like there is tension between her and the old pack."

I say. "Dig more into the story and tell me by tomorrow. I not I will kill you when I find you, do you understand?" The person says. "Yes, sir." With that, I hang up the phone call and pour myself wine into my cup and drink it.
