Renee’s P.O.V Next Day In School It was my first time, yet it was wild. It was something that I wanted to experience over and over again. As much as I loved it, my face was awash with embarrassment, considering all the silly things that I did. Louis and I arrived at school and all through the drive he didn’t speak a word to me. He only talked to his brothers over the phone who promised to strangle him to death over the stunt that he pulled last night and from their conversation that I heard, their dad was currently raving mad because he was supposed to take the Yacht on a business trip. Fear gnawed at me at that moment. I was so going to be done if he ever found out that I was on the Yacht with Louis. It was going to cause a lot of trouble between the two packs. All of a sudden, I was jolted out of my thoughts when Louis spoke. “There is going to be an evaluation test, would you be participating?” Why was he asking me about the evaluation test? Shouldn’t he be talk
Nerissa’s P.O.VWith what Renee had sculpted for me, it was now evident that nothing was going to stop me from retaining my glory as the Best Female Sculptor in elite arts. All I needed was to keep Renee by my side and everything that I wanted will soon be mine— Most importantly, Louis. The real reason why Louis and I broke up in the first place was my fault. I had left him for this random hot guy, even though I was still obsessed with Louis, warning and bullying every female friend that he ever got close to. The deal breaker was when I had assaulted a weak-ass girl thinking that she was trying to seduce Louis only for the girl to turn out to be his cousin. Louis and his brothers were really mad concerning what had happened and that was when things worsened between us. Things got so bad that it even affected our packs. However, soon enough, Louis will be mine again because with how I planned on winning him back, he would have no option but to forgive me and discard Renee like the
Renee’s P.O.V With tears forming in my eyes, I had chewed furiously on the doughnut that I had clutched, sitting in the school’s garden. Nerissa’s words resounded in my head and recollecting the way that she had wrapped her fingers around my neck made a wince escape my lips. Her accusations against me didn’t make any sense and to think that the Alpha and Luna weren’t ready to hear my side of the story was just appalling! But what did I expect? Nerissa was their beloved daughter. The fear that I was never going to meet my mum for the rest of my life gnawed at me. How did I go from looking forward to meeting my mum to drowning in depression? I wiped off the tears that cascaded down my cheeks, chewing the doughnut and the only thing that I was filled with was anger— Anger for Lennox, Levi, and Louis! Ever since they came into my life, my life has been turned upside down and this was all the moon goddesses’ fault who hated me so much that she caused me to be mated with tho
Renee’s P.O.V “What?” My lips wobbled and my knees buckled. The room spun around me and I almost lost balance but before I could fall, Levi held me as I struggled to make sense of the words that the nurse had just uttered. Her words echoed in my mind, each repetition felt like a thousand needles pierced into my heart. The nurse repeated her words. “I am sorry but she died years ago. The cause of her death was suicide” Levi’s fingers wrapped around my waist and he almost yelled. “Are you sure about what you are saying? Maybe you didn’t hear the name well. Her name is Agnes Samantha Vaughn…….can you please check it again” For some weird reason, hope surged inside of me and I bobbed my head. “Yes, maybe you made a mistake with her name” I heard as she heaved a sigh. “Alright, let me check it again” It didn't make any sense. How could my mum be dead? If she was indeed dead, then why did Nerissa and her parents always threaten me about not making me meet my mum? All my ye
Lennox’s P.O.VI removed my earplugs, my gaze flickering to Levi and Renee. My brows furrowed in confusion, wondering what she was doing here because the last time that I checked, we didn’t call for her. A mischievous smile played on my lips and I rose, sauntering towards her direction with my hands slipped down my pocket. “Look who we have here. You love the pain so much that no matter how much you claim to hate it, you will always be back here in our den and……” Before I could say my words, Levi cut in, connecting with me through a mind link. “Stop whatever you are doing now. It isn't the time for this”My brows creased and I responded through the mind link. “What are you talking about? Didn't she come here to make up for the stunt that she pulled alongside Louis?”Levi shook his head immediately, his hands leaving her and there was something about Renee’s face that took me aback. Her face looked pale and her lips were dried and to worsen things, she didn't respond to my previous
Renee With the help of the housekeeper, she helped me get to the dining room since it was hard for me to find my way around this house. As she guided me, memories about everything that happened the previous day flashed through my mind and anger flared within me. Simultaneously, I felt gratitude towards Levi for his help and to Lennox and Louis for letting me stay in their home. However, I knew I needed to plan my escape. Despite my appreciation, it was only a matter of time before the triplets reverted to their true nature and took advantage of my presence. But, where would I go? No pack is going to accept me. At that moment, anxiety crept at the back of my neck because of the crazy things that they would do to me. I just couldn’t wait for the contract to end and then, I would reject them. I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when firm hands grasped my shoulders. When his scent wafted through my nostrils, I knew that it was Louis. “Are you fine now? But why are you d
Levi’s P.O.VRenee thought that she was invisible. She thought that the reason why we hadn’t taunted her was because we didn’t notice her. What she didn’t know was that we were giving her time to grieve and most importantly, what she didn’t know was that predators wait for the perfect time to catch their prey. How in the world was I supposed to resist the mate bond when she was everywhere, taking total control of my senses? Like a prey ready to pounce on its predator, I gripped her by the arm, my hands pressing against her mouth in a bid to suppress the screams that were about to escape her lips. As soon as the door slammed shut, my hands left her mouth and her chest heaved as she sniffed and raised a brow. “Levi?”A coy smile crossed my face as I plopped on the seat behind me, twirling the painting brush in my hands as my eyes swept down her body. “I guess that you had fun hiding, princess?”She scrunched her nose and attempted to find the door by using her stick. “I have…….” H
Nerissa’s P.O.V My heart froze as time slowed down and the words that kept echoing through my mind was that of the teacher’s. “White Swan” My lips wobbled and I stuttered out. “M-Medusa, it was supposed to be Medusa’s statue” I fisted my skirt, swallowing hard before I shot a glare at Renee’s back. I darted my eyes to Lennox who had a coy smile tugging at the corner of his lips and slowly, something in me shifted, one puzzle piece clicking into place. My lips parted open, anger coursing through my veins as he stared at me dead in the eye. The triplets were behind the prompts being changed. They must have manipulated their dad into changing it and since their dad was the school’s biggest sponsor and my parents were second after him, then it was possible. “Smile, Nerissa” He mouthed from afar. “Smile or you might just end up crying” A rueful smile crept at the corner of his mouth before he moved away and stood in the space reserved for him. My heart squeezed and the
Renee’s P.O.V Another box scattered to the ground, causing my heart to lurch forward as panic bled through my veins and anxiety crept at the back of my neck. I couldn’t have misplaced the diamond brace… I shook my head, sweeping my hands over the floor in search of it and the more I failed to find it, the more dread settled over my shoulders. A gasp escaped me as I sat on the bare floor, gnawing on my fingers while beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. No! Something weird was happening now and why in the world did I have to be the only one to deal with horrible things all the time? It was just barely two days ago since I recovered and now I was back in the room that I shared with Erin—Only to discover that the diamond bracelet that the triplets had given to me had vanished. It wasn’t even supposed to go missing because I was sure about the box where it was kept. I had placed it carefully, double-checking almost all the time and Erin wasn’t even there when I had kept it so
NerissaFor three days, the helicopter had paraded the forest, searching for Landon and me, but the damned triplets made it hard for us to be found because when they threw our body into that pit, not only did they torture us with wolfsbane, those bastards created a very strong barrier over the deep pit. Landon and I screamed until we lost our voices. We even noticed when the search team was next to the pit, but they could see us and hear our desperate cry for help. And as if that weren’t worse, Lennox, Landon, and Louis helped the search team, constantly crouching over the pit with an evil smile creeping at the corners of their mouth.Louis had taken it a step further, his voice low and extremely eerie as his eyes locked onto mine in the pit. A sinister smile crossed his face and he tilted his head to the side. “What do you think?” He said, his tone almost playful. “Should we bury them alive?” He chuckled, his fingers fluttering to his lips like he was stifling his laughter. Chills
Renee’s P.O.VI jolted awake, my chest heaving and my breath coming in shallow gasps as the memories refused to loosen their grip on me and like that, they flooded through my mind. Me falling into a pit. The mimicry of voices and the sound of growls and snarls echoed through my ears. There was a clash when I was in the pit and because of the voices that were being mimicked, I didn’t even know what to think anymore because I could have sworn that I heard Landon and Nerissa’s voices. Who was the person who could have imitated other’s voices perfectly and most importantly, where was I?Before panic could bleed through my veins, the feeling of a hand on mine caused this surge of calmness within me and at that moment, my anxiety subsided. Louis’s voice filled my ears and slowly, relief flooded through me because it was better to be stuck with them than being in that pit that made me think that no one was ever going to find me. “You are awake” His fingers brushed through the back of my p
Levi’s P.O.V Standing amidst my brothers, a surge of power coursed inside of me and the only sound that could be heard was that of the crow cawing in the distance and most importantly the sound of the rustling leaves that crunched underneath my brother, and I’s clawed feet at the same time. Thankfully, we were able to find Renee by following her shoe print and her scream for help. Landon stood on his hinges, twisting his neck while Nerissa stood next to him as a growl escaped her. Two things were going to happen tonight. It was either they left this place with broken bones or they ended up dead. One of these just had to happen tonight. Renee screamed out loud again in a desperate plea. “Please help me, somebody, please help me” Anger coursed through me at that moment and before I could even create a plan to take down Nerissa and Landon through the mind-link, Louis charged at Landon, the ground shaking underneath our clawed feet. In the next second Louis’s massive f
NerissaI loved Renee, and why did I love her? Because she was so naive. How could she have been foolish enough to take even a single step in that direction?After tormenting her, I fell on my knees, my hands clutching my stomach while laughing out my heart as she remained in the deep pit, whimpering and trembling in fear. Laughing uncontrollably as she kept screaming for help, the smile on my face soon died and anger coursed through my veins. I meant it when I mentioned that I was going to get back at her for everything that she had done to me. This was just the tip of the iceberg. I hadn’t even begun with her yet. By the time I was finished, she’d reject the Alpha Devils as her mates and leave the school—exactly as I planned.“Somebody, please save me” She screamed from the pit and in a fit of rage, I snarled at her. “You had better shut that mouth of yours because no one will be coming to save you”Suddenly, she froze, and her lips wobbled in shock. “Nerissa?”A smile crept at th
Renee’s P.O.VI clung tightly to the arm of the boy who came to fetch me. He told me that the Alpha Devils asked him to find me since they had found the treasure that was in the heart of the forest. At that moment, my mind couldn’t help but keep reeling from the different thoughts that popped up in my mind. Because first, something wasn’t adding up. How were they able to find the treasure easily and most importantly, how did they realize that I wasn’t with the walkie-talkie anymore? Could my blindness be the reason it took me longer to fit the puzzle pieces together? Was that the reason the triplets were able to find it before me? Because my blindness had never been a reason for me not to achieve my goal, plus it wasn’t too long since we started the games, so I found it weird that they were capable of finding it easily. I cleared my throat, tugging at him gently. “Umm…can we return to the field? I mean where we left off just now. I feel uneasy without taking my cane…” I bit on my
Renee *Games Day*The sharp powerful notes of trumpets blowing in the forest, cut through my thoughts like a honed knife as my heart almost leaped into my throat in fear. However, Lennox’s steadying hand as his fingers drew imaginary circles on the back of my palm, calmed me down. It was the games day and I was starting to get frustrated because of the endless rearrangement of sub-groups. And the craziest thing was that even after the rearrangement, it seemed like I was fated for drama throughout this week because how in the world did Nerissa fall into this subgroup again?It was either the guides were doing this intentionally or the moon goddess was having fun playing with my fate today. As if that wasn’t enough, the triplets and Landon were also in this subgroup, and that sums up my daily dose of chaos. There was this nudging thought at the back of my mind that they would clash. Either the triplets start a fight with Landon or Nerissa tries to pick on me but I doubt she would do
Renee Cold shivers thrilled down my spine, sitting across from Levi with my hands delicately folded on the table. Biting my lower lips, my mind couldn't stop revisiting the intense moment between the triplets and me while we were still in the cabin. Just the sheer thought of it made heat pool between my legs and my cheeks flush red. At the same time, the small smile that played on my lips fell when my mind drifted back to what had happened at the Museum. The triplets had seen something. If they didn't see something, then they wouldn't have addressed me as a liar. What could they have seen to wreak that much havoc in the museum?What in the world did Landon send to spark that reaction from them?Levi’s words broke my train of thought. “You can remove your sunglasses now. The lighting in the restaurant has been adjusted”Levi had rented out the whole restaurant because he wanted me to be comfortable and because of the blinding, harsh light that always caused immense pain for my eyes.
Nerissa’s POV Ever since Landon had returned from France, it was always from one issue to another with the triplets, and the reason behind it was no one besides that witch— Renee! Anger coursed through my veins as my fingers slowly curled into folds by my side while my eyes squeezed shut as the memories of that chaotic museum fight replayed in my head. I was sure that she was the one who kept setting him up all the time, and It was so sad that Landon was always caught up in all of this. He had never done anything wrong for him to be the target of the Alpha Devils. However, I wasn't here for Landon, I was here because I wanted to get back at the triplets for what they had done to me. Firstly, for the humiliation they subjected me to in front of Miss Kimberly. But most importantly, for the disgrace Louis inflicted on me when I gave him that cake. That bastard dared to slam the cupcake right into my face. However, I didn't blame him, the one with the blame was no one apa
