Chapter Three
Author’s Narration The last thing that the triplets ever imagined was the fact that they would be mated to Renee, the same woman whom they considered a murderer and a pretentious being who used her blindness as a facade to act as a saint even though she was purely evil! To Lennox, Levi, and Louis, only evil would be used to cure evil and by evil, they meant—Renee. Lennox, Levi, and Louis were made to leave the country shortly after their mum passed away after battling cancer for years. Their father, who was the Alpha of the Eclipse moon pack, was more bothered about the issue of the pack than caring about his family. The relationship that the triplets shared with their father was nothing to write home about because not only was he abusive towards them, he would always blame them for all the bad things happening. He blamed them for being behind their mum’s death and he also blamed Louis for being stuck with Nerissa in the fire, telling him that he should have just died with his brothers! Since that time, the urge, the anger to pay back Renee for everything and make her life miserable had always lived in their hearts. All they wanted was to break her so bad! Years passed and the triplets returned to the country but with one thing in mind— To keep Renee so close and make her life a living hell! Lennox stepped inside the hall where Nerissa’s birthday party was being held and the first thing he did was to swivel his gaze around the entire place in search of Renee. “I can’t find her anywhere,” He said. Levi nodded. “Same here, are you sure that she is still alive and that you did as we planned?” Louis shrugged. “Of course. She must be around here, I am sure of that” Still trying to search for Renee, the triplets exchanged pleasantries with some of their childhood friends but Nerissa on seeing them scoffed, rolling her eyes to the back. Lennox smirked, patting Louis on the shoulder. “It seems like your ex is still in love with you” Louis scowled. “That doesn’t look like love to me but hatred; however the good thing is that I also don’t like her. She can go to hell as long as I care so where is this…..” Before he could complete his words, the Luna began her speech, announcing the triplets as being among those that would be attending the school’s senior year. Lennox watched as she gave her boring speeches before he leaned by his side and toned down his voice. “I know that she hates us and our guts! But does she have any option, Alpha Raymond is the biggest sponsor of the Elites Arts High School” Levi scoffed. “And we are his children, she can’t do…..” Levi’s words soon got stuck in his throat as soon as he spotted Renee with a blindfold over her eyes, hiding behind the other servants. Levi noticed that she had gotten prettier than before except for her frail nature and in that moment, a mischievous smile graced his lips as he mouthed. “Bingo!” A smirk crept at the corner of his lips, diverting Lennox and Louis’s attention towards Renee. “There she is,” Lennox said. A rueful smile crossed Louis’s face. “I told you that she is still alive” To keep Renee closer to them, the triplets devised a plan to make sure that Renee was being kept by their side so they did something crazy. Leaving the task to Louis, Louis paid an insider in Nerissa’s house to make sure that Renee’s name was added to the ballot box. The triplets weren’t strange to the fact that Renee always tried to avoid and hide from them so to keep her around them and begin their revenge plans, they had to ensure that she was the lucky winner. The craziest thing about all of this was that all the papers in the Ballot box contained only Renee’s name! Louis perfected things in a way that he made the insider destroy the first ballot box that contained all the other applicant's name and exchanged it for a box that was only filled with Renee’s name. The fear on Renee’s face when she was announced as the lucky candidate delighted them and they watched as she panicked in fear. However, things soon took a different turn when Renee collided with the cake and as much as they didn’t care that she was humiliated since it was clearly what she deserved, the last thing Louis wanted was for Nerissa to hit Renee. Lennox mind-linked with his brothers at that very moment. “I know that we all hate Renee but we can’t watch Nerissa hit her because she is a loser as well!” Levi locked eyes with Louis before darting his eyes to Lennox and he responded through the mind-link. “I agree” Louis scoffed and without thinking twice, he snarled at Nerissa but things worsened when at that moment, they all discovered that they were mated to Renee. The feeling, her scent pulled them closer to her and it was mind-blowing but amidst all of that, the hate that they had for her was much more than whatever they felt in that moment. Levi's mind- linked with his brothers. “What do we do?” Lennox, who was still in shock, glanced at Levi. “Should we humiliate and reject her right here” Louis on the other hand, stared intently at Renee before tilting his head to the left while he responded through the mind-link. “I have an idea. The goal is to keep her close and the moon goddess has already decided to help us by making us mates” “Are you guys thinking what I am thinking?” A creepy smile danced on Levi’s face as he fixed his gaze on Renee. “I think that we are starting to be on the same page” Lennox responded. Louis bobbed his head slowly, adding. “Who wants to have fun playing with our new mate?” Levi and Lennox nodded in affirmation and Louis smirked. “Let’s get started with our new mate and since today is her birthday, let us make this day the best day of her life” Levi added. “It is surely going to be the best day of her life. We are the Alpha Devils, the only thing that we know how to do is have fun and we will be having a lot of fun with our mate, our Renee.”Renee’s P.O.VI had no self-respect. The rain poured down in torrents, drenching everything around me alongside my shame, lack of dignity, and again, self-respect.The tears that brimmed in my eyes streamed down my cheeks, mingling with the rain as my dampened hair clung to my face. Despite the tears that blurred my vision, I stared at the cash in my hands— The same cash that Alpha Raymond had hurled at me disrespectfully while dishing out threats to me. I had clung onto the money like my life depended on it as I was being dragged out of the hospital. I should have hurled it back at him, stood my ground until he let me meet with the triplets.However, as if they all knew the exact place to hit me the most, he had threatened to deal with Erin as well if I didn't leave the Alpha Devils alone. Unlike the Rogue King who threatened to go after Erin alone, he had promised to wipe out her entire family from the surface of the earth. She didn't have to suffer because of me.I had always wa
Renee’s P.O.VThe tears that welled in my eyes blurred my vision, and the only sound that I could hear was that of my heart thundering in my ears. How could they do this to me?How could they deceive me in this manner? I had always known that the Alpha Devils couldn’t be trusted, but I would have never imagined that they would take advantage of my disability, trap me in a death contract that would last till eternity.“Those demons” My molars ground but just as my anger could consume me completely, pain tugged at my chest, clawing at the corners of my heart. A groan slipped from my mouth, and there was this throbbing at the back of my head. I squeezed my chest, voices filtering down my ears— The triplet’s voices.“Renee,”My eyes closed shut and the knot in my chest tightened. What was happening? Why did it feel like my heart was being clawed out of my chest and…No.Something bad had happened with the triplets. I could feel it down to the depths of my soul. I could feel their souls
Louis’s P.O.V“Shit” I cussed under my breath as the three of us stood back to back, fists curled with our eyes fixed on the rogues that towered over us.Drool dripped from the corners of their mouth, eyes gleaning with that murderous intent as the sound of their low growls interrupted the silence of the night.They were on a mission to kill and if there was anything that I was sure of, they were ready to pounce on us and shred us into two. Levi spoke through the mind-link. “We should have enough time to shift into our wolf forms, right? Because this beast keeps growling ferociously inside of me…”Lennox added. “What are the chances that we would take them down on our own?”I clicked my tongue, speaking out loud. “Twenty percent. How could we have ruled out the probability of Nikolai not coming alone”“This isn't the time for apportioning blame. It is time to act” Lennox responded. “We don't have a lot of time and we need to strike now. Levi takes those on the left, Louis takes down
Lennox’s P.O.VSomething was off.The way Nerissa stood up for Renee was weird. Something was going on between those two and the craziest part was getting the truth from Renee was another job on its own. It was worse than a herculean task.If she had just told the truth along, my brothers and I wouldn't be wasting time tracking down Nikolai, in a bid to uncover the real reason behind his threats to Renee.It was far from wanting her to be a rogue. My gut told me— It was more than that.Levi weaved his hands through his hair and for a weird reason that I couldn't place, he seemed more like he was trying to avoid my gaze. Louis on the other hand was hacking through Renee’s phone, trying to remove her password and check the exact messages that had put her on the edge.At that moment, my mind drifted towards the broken sculptures in the workshop and a groan slipped from my mouth. “I want to kill someone…” I muttered through clenched teeth.Levi kicked a stone. “We ain't getting more blo
Renee’s P.O.VPain sliced through my head like a honed knife and at that moment, I didn't know if the traumatic experiences that happened yesterday were the cause or if it was the eyes that shot lasers through my face.Their curse words that came out in hushed whispers filled my ears.I didn't even dare stare at them, as my eyes remained fixed on the heap of rubble that was scattered across the tiled floor in the workshop.Someone had broken everyone’s sculptures and right now, everyone suspected me. The hell.Who could have done this? I was sure that it was those damned Rogues that had destabilized me yesterday. They were trying to get me into trouble.In all honesty, I didn't blame those wandering eyes that stared at me in disdain. The situation was just plausible for them to believe that I was the one involved in this. Since ruining my work made me disqualified and they came to school the next day to find out that their sculptures had been ruined, it was just sensible to suspect
Levi’s P.O.VFor the first time in my life, I had never seen Renee so broken. So devastated and lost. The image of her trembling frame, her tear-filled eyes, and pale face was still etched in my mind. I had never seen her in that way before.She wasn’t even like that when she realized that her mum wasn’t in the mental asylum like she was told, that she was dead…But this time, she seemed scared, like some monster was out for her. Like darkness was slowly encroaching upon her and I hated it.I had never seen her so traumatized. It felt as if something wasn’t done soon enough, she might lose it.Could it be those damned Rogues that Louis warned her about? The ones that lurked around her like a shadow. Could it be that bastard ‘Nikolai’ who was messing with our mate?How dare he? Lennox tucked Renee into her bed, pulling the duvet over her head and the way his fingers brushed through her face slightly, made my stomach tie a knot. However, I didn’t show it. Now wasn’t the perfect time
