Alpha Ren Prologue
~Brielle“I tried.”I swallow, eyeing the tips of her fingers that plaster the response letter of my last employment attempt to the surface of the oak table. Her eyes - silver as mercury - glare at me, piercing straight through my calm facade. She’s clearly not happy.Her blonde hair was clipped back from her face, allowing for her high cheekbones and sharp jawline to appear more prominent. She’s poised and sophisticated; more prepared for a life as a socialite than a maternal figure. She’s never been too kind, always strict and exacting, wanting the best and nothing but.I made a decision this year not to go off to university to study a course mother would be

~BrielleThe sun rose behind the dock as I approached it.Sleeping hadn’t been too easy pressed against the concrete alleyway wall. I decided the moment I could approach the docks, I would. Even when they are just getting ready for the first boat to cruise in from Ren’s island. It will be a supply ship, first thing. To get whatever Ren decides he needs for the day.This place is considered a public attraction here. There’s an entire restaurant on the other side, where only the richest go. There is a private area for when Ren arrives via ship, and is ushered out to a car in a secluded area.I only know this because of my father’s prior fascination. He would whi

~BrielleThis isn’t going to be easy.Boat’s come in from Ren’s island four times a day, I’ve come to notice in these past few weeks. One glides in early in the morning as I wake, another just before lunchtime breaks. Late afternoon, as patrons sip their tea and enjoy the sight of the lake, another boat finds itself in the dock. The last one often arrives just as we are closing up for the day, once the sun has fallen and night has consumed the lake.That’s the time I plan to smuggle onto the boat. When Linda has left, and I’m expected to lock up for the night.My desperation to get onto the boat has lead to an obsession. The curiosity of what Ren’s

~BrielleBy the time we made it to the island, my stomach was so queasy, I started to doubt if I could stand or not.I stayed hidden, hearing keen, as I patiently wait for the captain to leave the boat, and anyone else on the docks had dispersed. When everything sounded still, I made my move, forcing my stiff limbs into submission. I almost fall on my face, as I crawl across the boards, removing myself from when I had been hunched the entire journey.The breeze off the lake hits me the moment I hobble to my feet. It chills me right through my clothes, but it snaps my mind back into reality. I need to get off this boat, and find a way onto the island.And most importantly, not get caught.&n

~BrielleI woke up to a pair of blue eyes peering down at me.“Oh my,” I gasp, falling back into reality. I push away from the girl, only to realise she wasn’t alone. Three others surrounded my bed, staring down at me like a foreign object, one almost completely on my bed. I had to rub my eyes and remember where I was before I could understand what was going on.I’m in Ren’s estate. I made it safely to island, and I’ve been accepted into this place by someone who has been here for three years. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Unless these girls are planning to kick me out.“What’s going on?” I question, when none of them

~BrielleNot getting caught right now is more imperative then when I snuck onto the boat.I take a few back hallways to avoid most of the manors formal interior, where I would be more likely to see the Alpha or his officials and company. Usually the corridors are bustling with life, working behind the scenes to ensure everything on the other side of the wall runs smoothly. This hour of the night, though, leaves everything abandoned.It means no one to question where I’m going with a basket full of folded male clothes. Luckily, these pieces of clothing aren’t his most extravagant. If it get out here, maybe no one would question it.When I came to the end of the last corridor, I

~BrielleRen wastes no time in his reaction.“Woah,” he says, holding his hands out as if to frantically tell me to stop. Quickly, I drop my skirt, mortified at his immediate reaction. “None of that.”That was not how I expected him to react, and now I want to curl up in a corner and curse myself for being so foolish. Of course he wants nothing to do with a girl like me. I’ve snuck onto his island and somehow made it into his room. How could I think he would ever want me like he must have liked other girls.“I’m so sorry Alpha,” I blurt, wishing I could cover my cheeks so he wouldn’t see the incriminating blush. It’s only adding t

~BrielleIt was Mabel who spoke first. Eventually.The silence that fell after the scream left us all chilled right to the bone. Mabel shakily smiled, which was proof enough that this wasn’t her doing. She wasn’t trying to frighten us. From upstairs, someone had screamed, in need of help. Yet none of us could move.“Okay, that’s a bit strange,” Mabel says, followed by a breathy laugh. Girls around me exchange glances, skin pale, eyes widened. “Should probably go have a look shouldn’t we?”Most girls called Mabel stupid for wanting to go investigate. I offered to go with her while they cowered in a corner. If there is a chance to save wh

Alpha Ren Epilogue
~Brielle Something doesn’t feel right. That’s been a thought on my mind for the past few weeks. In one instance, it seemed like everything should be righted in the world. Fate helped me, kept his word and I kept mine. Chase wasn’t exactly happy, but knew he wouldn’t have been awake to deal with Ren in time, so he let it slide after a few days of moping. Really, he’s using it as an excuse for his mourning of his mother. I could hardly believe he didn’t confide in me with any other this, but I didn’t berate him after going through what he did. Of course, he explained that she was sick, and wanted to sacrifice herself. He agreed only on the grounds that she didn’t have long left, but it took him months of consideration, and didn’t want me to convince him out of it. So here we are, lying in the sun on the seating outside, me leaning against his chest, him playing with my hair. It’s been like this everyday for awhile now. But like I said, something doesn’t feel right. I’m not sure w

~Brielle I’m not sure what my first reaction should be. Immediately I fall to my knees by her side. I grab her limbs, feeling her cold skin, feeling how limp they are. Completely lifeless. I shake her a few times, put my ear to her mouth to catch a breath and even feel a pulse. Nothing. There is no life left in her. Had I known this was her choice, I would have never left the table. I may not know her, or even what her name was, but she’s Chase’s mother…why didn’t he tell me? He came in here, acting as though he had no clue who she was. He must have known to. I feel as though the entire plan was done without me even knowing. “Can’t you mourn later? She’s going to wake soon,” I hear Fate from behind me. There’s no need to turn around and shoot him a glare. He knows this isn’t a normal situation.Walking up behind me, he steps out and around the body carefully. Not because he cares all that much for the corpse lying here in the middle of a tent that was her home, but because he doe

~Brielle My blood runs cold. I know Ren doesn’t like me. I know he doesn’t want me getting in the way, but I never thought he would actually want me dead. He’s evil, pure evil, and manipulative to add to it all. When was he planning on doing this? I bet he didn’t think Chase was about to get control again, and was planning to do it that night. Just thinking about what might have happened sends chills down my spine. “He won’t be getting control over me again. I don’t care what it takes,” Chase says quickly, glancing at me. The Gaze Reader still stares at me, clearly trying to decipher why an Alpha wants to kill me, of all people. She must have seen within Chase’s gaze that he is my true mate, not Ren. The Gaze Reader looks skeptical. “I don’t want to be dragged into an Alpha’s mess. That’s dirty business.”Chase and I exchange wary glances. “He was never meant to be the true Alpha. His brother was, before he murdered him and cold blood, and still feels no remorse. I can tell, I ca

~Brielle Shame is all that I feel. Chase and I lay in bed, my head on his chest, as I cry. I can’t help the tears, as they pool onto his shirt. At least the bleeding from my neck has stopped, thanks to Chase and his first aid abilities. But the mark is still there, stuck upon my neck, a false representation of a mate bond that doesn’t actually exist. “This doesn’t change anything, you know,” Chase murmurs, his fingers running gently through my hair. I glance up at him, raising an eyebrow as he gazes down at me. “I still love you. You’re still my mate. We will fix this.”“Quiet,” I breathe. “He can hear us.”Chase sits up, forcing me too as well. He’s frowning at me, and for a moment I can’t tell why. I’m numb, nothing makes sense right now. But of course, this is big news. “He admitted that all this time, he has been seeing through your eyes. I’m assuming it’s because he is the original host of the body. He can hear everything right now. It means no more talking about anything. Ok

~Brielle This should be easy. Should be. If I weren’t suspicious of him, or knew nothing about Chase, then I would have no trouble going into my mates room. But still, I’m hesitant, unsure of what will go down if I take a step inside that room, with Ren, and no Chase there to protect me in case something happens. In case something is brought too far…Lying in my bed, staring at the roof, I contemplate my next move. Maybe I’m being over dramatic. Ren had interest in taking me to bed at some point, but that was a few days ago. Now, it seems like the idea of me turns him off completely. If I get this key, none of that will matter anymore. All I need to do is find it, and it has to be in that room. And if it’s not…Well I guess I’m out of options. Should I do it now? Somehow I doubt that Ren will be all that accommodating if I do show up at his door, wondering if I can come in. But it is something a mate would do, and I am trying to be his mate. I’m just as curious as to why he has su
Alpha Ren 44
~Brielle I’m convinced I’ve gone too far this time. Ren would have given a tip off earlier if he has any interested in sharing information with me. He doesn’t want to be honest with me, or share anything with me, even has his mate and Luna. All these doubts flood my head at once, my heart sinking deep within my chest. I’m going to fail Chase with the one thing he trusted me with. “I don’t have much that I keep to myself, really,” he tells me, leaning back into the grass. I’m still disappointed, despite knowing this was going to be his reaction. “But anything I would keep would be somewhere I spend a lot of time, if I were ever to need to.”It’s subtle, and not intended as a hint, but I cling to that piece of information. It’s the first real lead I’ve received from his mouth. I just have to find out what he means. “Alright, your turn,” I say, forcing myself not to react too dramatically. We are playing a game still, and now that I have what I want, all I want to do is find this ‘s
Alpha Ren 43
~Brielle I have a game plan. Whether it is going to work or not, I’m not sure, but it’s worth a try. After my escapade with Chase, I snuck back into my room to ensure Ren didn’t reappear with me in his bed. This morning, I’m going to assume everything as normal. Hopefully, Ren will send the Alpha’s home so I have room to get to him without him being distracted by them. Kaden is already suspicious of me, and even with Ren’s assurance that I can be trusted, I know he doubts my motive. Once they are all sent away, Ren will have no one to confide in other than me. Perhaps I can find out this secret Chase doesn’t want to find out from Ren himself. However, if he makes him look bad, perhaps he won’t be honest with me. It doesn’t matter, anyway. What matters is that Ren trusts me enough to get this key. There is nothing more important than that. Approaching the dining room to where I’m planning on having breakfast with Ren alone, I start to get nervous. What if I can’t do this? What if

~Brielle Nothing feels better than being within my mates arms. My back is pressed up against his chest, his arm slung over my waist. I’m enjoying the stories he whispers in my ear about magic and the Devotion Pack. He has so many amazing stories that I could listen to all night without fail. There is something to intimate about being up against him will he shares all he can with me. “I would say you’re easily one of the most interesting people I’ve met,” I tell him. It’s not just because of his stories that I say that, but also due to his knowledge and how charismatic of a person he is, and has been this entire time. I mean, he did manage to convince everyone he was causing us harm in order to keep us all from interrupting his plan. He even let himself take the fall in place of Ren. “You need to travel more, my love,” he comments, his tone amused. I chuckle, but I know I’m right. Twisting around, I lay facing him, looking up at him. Through the darkness, I can still see his eyes
Alpha Ren 41
~Brielle It feels shameless, doing this. I’m not going there to do anything with him, simply let him think I want him. Yet it feels dirty, walking to his room with a robe covering my half naked body. This lingerie isn’t too sexy, but it’s sexy enough for me to feel shy, my confidence seeping out past the lace and ribbons of the stupid outfit hidden beneath this silk gown. Ren tried to hurt me. All because I disagreed with him. Now, I’m having to manipulate him into believing me. All so he won’t hurt me again. Will I tell Chase about this? That’s the question. I’m not sure how he would react, but something tells me he would understand. He wouldn’t lash out and hurt me like Ren would. Just because they are in the same body doesn’t mean they have the same reactions. All of this, I know. When I reach his room, I don’t bother knocking. I simply click the door handle open, and slide inside the room cloaked in darkness. From the bed, I can see his shadowed outline lying in the bed. Jus
