Louis’s P.O.V I stared blankly at the television, the screen dark and lifeless while a storm of fury brewed deep within me. I couldn’t just understand why Renee had to be so stubborn! We had clearly warned her about staying away from Landon but she turned a deaf ear and dared to plead with us concerning releasing Nerissa from the basement. She was just so difficult to help and she needed to be taught a lesson—Something that would make her listen to us. Lennox who strolled around the hotel suite broke my train of thought, hurling a pillow at me before he went to the kitchen island. “What was that for?” I raised a brow, my gaze fixated on him while he turned, grabbing a can of beer from the fridge. He clicked it open and took a sip before he slammed it back on the kitchen counter. “I fucking hate this beer” He sucked between his teeth, cussing at the same time. I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly. “Why did you throw a pillow at me?” “Because I have been try
Renee’s P.O.V I should have seen it coming from the very beginning—it was yet another trap laid by the Alpha Devils. I should have known that their icy behavior towards me meant something deadly. They had surely deciphered that I had spoken to Landon, and he was the one who made me plead on Nerissa’s behalf and here I was left to suffer the consequences of my actions. Jolts of electricity littered my body as my fingers flew to my neck instinctively while I tried to loosen whatever these devils tightened around my neck. My breathing hitched as their laughter echoed down my ears while tears brimmed in my eyes. All of a sudden, the grip on my neck suddenly tightened, and a gasp escaped my mouth as I clawed at it. A searing pain spread across my neck, tears brimming in my eyes, and at the same time, a moan escaped my mouth when Levi reached behind me, rubbing his thumb over my clit. My thigh clenched, my eyes squeezing shut as he whispered in my ears. “How many times are
Louis’s P.O.V The rest of the evening stretched out with my brothers and I preparing a bubble bath for her, rereading the terms and conditions of our contract to her while reiterating that we didn't want to see her with Landon. She had bobbed her head, promising not to ever have anything to do with Landon but the more I stared at her, the more I couldn't get rid of this nudging feeling that she would surely go against our words. It seemed more like she always developed this extraordinary confidence whenever she was with him. Thankfully, the job of my brothers and I was to break that confidence and save her from Landon! Renee seemed to have regained her strength as she sat on the couch with her legs curled by the side while staring into space. She was wearing my T-shirt and I hated to admit it but fuck! She was sexy. I roused up from where I sat, sitting next to her while the voices of Lennox and Levi bickering in the kitchen made me cuss underneath my breat
Renee The previous night, Lennox and Louis had gone out to participate in the evening games but since I was too tired to leave, Levi stayed behind with me. Somehow, he figured out that his presence made me uncomfortable but instead of leaving, Levi took me aback by making me coffee and taking out a book. Before I could tell him that I wasn't interested in him reading me a book, his low and soothing voice changed my mind immediately because not only did it melt my heart, it made the tension between us disappear. It was so soothing that his voice made me fall asleep and right now, I was back in my hotel room— He must have brought me here after I fell asleep. Despite everything that happened between the triplets and me last night, it was a miracle that I didn't ache or feel exhausted, and it felt more like nothing happened even though extreme things ensued between us. Erin, whom I shared a room with startled me, tapping me on the shoulders. “Why do you seem so lost in y
Nerissa’s P.O.V My heart sank to the pit of my stomach and while I was thinking that Miss Kimberly was going to chastise them, the poor woman had cowered in fear, smiling sheepishly as she left the entrance, now standing next to me. “I-I had no idea that she was with you guys” she mumbled while I rolled my eyes to the back, staring daggers at Louis as the memories of him smashing the cupcake on my face unfolded. My fingers slowly curled into tight fists as I fought to keep the memories of last night from flooding back. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop them. He hadn’t just smashed the cupcake in my face—something far worse, something devastating, had happened. After Natalie helped clean my face while I wanted to report everything that had happened to Landon, I was instructed by the class teacher to distribute the ID cards to my teammates. Even though I hadn’t wanted to go through with it, after much convincing, I finally gave in. But just as I was about to
Lennox’s P.O.V The expression on my face darkened as a storm of fury brewed deep within me. No matter how much I tried not to show it, I couldn't control the anger that simmered beneath the surface of my skin— The one that wanted me to wrap my fingers around Landon’s throat and wring his neck. But it all led back to Renee. She was the fucking problem. No matter how innocent she acts, there is something pretentious and malicious about her. She must have had a lot of fun playing with my brothers and me. A lot of fun, I must commend. “So when do you intend to move in with Landon…” My voice dripped with sarcasm, my fingers slowly contorting into claws that dug into my palm as soon as it curled into fists. Renee’s mouth opened wide in shock as she shook her head and I couldn't help but scoff at the pretentious mask slipping through her face. “What? He had made mention of it but…” I completed her words. “But you haven't given him feedback yet because you plan on moving wit
Renee The aftermath of Louis’s threat erupted into chaos. I couldn’t understand the reasons behind their sudden outburst or what had triggered such an intense reaction. But one thing I was certain of: they had seen something—something ignited by Landon. The triplets had wreaked havoc in the museum as my mind replayed the sound of fists being thrown, the screams, the shutter of the camera, the groans, growls, and most importantly the sound of statues crashing down. It was so crazy that I couldn’t stop questioning why the moon goddess would entangle me with such troublemakers. Why couldn’t I live such a perfect life without the continuous drama from either the triplets, Nerissa, or even Landon—What was even Landon’s deal? Why was he bent on getting me into trouble? Why couldn’t he control the things that he would say around me instead of getting me into trouble all the time? I couldn’t just handle the thought that I was the reason the museum was in a mess and I hated myse
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
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.
