Renee My right fingers hung in the air, my breath coming in ragged gasps when memories of what had happened earlier coursed through my mind. Lennox and Levi had joined Louis in beating Landon up. It was so brutal that the security had to separate all four of them and the craziest thing was that I was the cause of this. But with the way, the triplets left in silence, leaving me in school, only one word kept resounding in my head. Trouble! I was in trouble and one thing I knew was that the triplets wouldn't let something like this slide. I sucked in a deep breath, mustering the courage to open the door while removing my sunglasses. It was now nighttime and despite how crazy the triplets could be, they made it their priority to switch off all lights during the nighttime because of how sensitive I was—That I appreciated them for. Gripping my cane, I twisted the doorknob as the door creaked open and I poked my head inside, trying to sense if they were around. I couldn't
Renee’s P.O.VI threw my head back, standing before the school building while a painful groan rippled from my mouth. My core ached. It felt like my lips were swollen and the punishment that the triplets put me through was a bitter-sweet experience that I had developed a love-hate relationship with. As much as I wanted to experience it over and over again, I didn't want to anymore and to stop being punished like that, all I needed to do was avoid Landon. “I will avoid him for the main time until everything is over” I muttered to myself and I had barely taken a step when someone hung a hand over my shoulder, squeezing it gently. I froze. Landon? My breath got stuck in my throat and cold shivers ran down my spine as I removed his hands away from my shoulders. “L-Landon, I can’t be seen talking to you. Because of me, you got into a fight on your first day in school” I muttered underneath my breath, hoping that the triplets were nowhere in sight. Landon scoffed. “Don't tell me that
LouisIt has been nine hours since Renee went missing and despite our search for her, it proved to be abortive. Different thoughts raced across my mind. Where was she? How did she even disappear without anyone knowing when she left? Everyone claimed not to know who she left with and she certainly wasn’t with Landon and Nerissa because they were currently at an auction that we should have also attended if Renee hadn’t gone missing. Lennox rushed towards me, fear glinting in his eyes. “Dad keeps calling to know where we are. If he knows that we are still in school, he could send his men to come and take us to the function that would end at midnight”Levi took me aback as he snatched Lennox’s phone and smashed it to the ground. “I carefully instructed you to not answer Dad’s call!”“And who are you to boss me around?” Lennox retorted while I stood rooted to the same spot, mortified by the fact that a fight was about to ensue between them when there was a high chance that Renee’s life
LEVI Running down the basement hallways with my brothers shouting Renee’s name, I switched on the light. Spotting an open door, relief flooded through me as I sprinted toward the room. Breathing restlessly, I turned on the switch that brightened the darkened room. My heart sank into my stomach when I saw that the room was empty except for cans of spilled paint that were on the ground. Someone was here. Renee. Lennox and Louis rushed in, distress written on their faces. “This is the last room in the basement and she isn’t here” Worry was laced in Louis’s voice. Lennox groaned and in the next minute, he buried his fist on the wall, creating a dent in it. “I knew that girl called Erin couldn’t be trusted. She lied to us” My fingers squeezed into folds while rage pulsated through my veins. I couldn’t believe that I decided to show my calm side to Erin just for her to lie to me. I scoffed, totally at a loss for words to say. If Renee wasn’t here, then where was she at?
Renee’s P.O.V Landon tucked me in bed and he took me aback when he pressed a kiss on my forehead. For a weird reason, guilt overwhelmed me, like I was committing a sin that the Alpha Devils would never forgive me for. But why did it matter? It wasn’t like they cared and Landon was my friend. A long-time friend that I cherished more than anything in the world. My voice croaked and I sat upright, leaning against the headboard. “Thank you, Landon” Landon responded. “If you need anything, I am a call away. With the medicines that I had given to you, I am sure that you will feel better soon enough” A small smile played on my lips as I pulled my knees to my chest and despite Landon’s warm presence, my mind lingered on the fact that the triplets never noticed that I was missing. Maybe I wasn’t as important to them as I had thought. Plus on the bright side, the more they counted me to be less important, the more they will detach from me and let me be in the end. Yeah, mayb
Lennox’s P.O.V With a clenched jaw, I slipped my hands down my pocket, leaning against the school’s door frame while fixing my gaze intently on the cars that pulled up to drop the students. A storm brewed deep within me. I couldn’t just wait to set eyes on that bastard called Landon. I was going to find him and teach him a lesson that he would never forget for the rest of his life. As unease surged at the depth of my stomach, panic slowly bled through my veins as my jaw tightened and the air grew cold around me. All the students who walked past me, ducked their heads, quickening their pace while I fixed my gaze intently on the driveway. At that moment, the fear that Landon absconded with Renee crept in on me. At the same time, why? To worsen it, Renee spent the night with that sexual offender. Just as I was about to lose hope, a BMW drove in, stopping right in front of the building. Relief flooded through me when Landon came out of the car wearing sunglasses, his
Renee’s P.O.V I was still traumatized and destabilized by everything that happened. All through the morning classes, I didn't stand up from my seat and sat rooted in the same spot for hours. The fear that everything that happened last night could happen again sent cold shivers down my spine. On the other hand, ever since my encounter with Lennox this morning, he hasn't been in class nor were his brothers in class. Maybe Levi and Louis skipped classes. At that moment, my mind drifted back to my conversation with Landon concerning how he told me that the triplets didn't care that I was missing. Wasn't it weird that the same Lennox who didn't care seemed like he was really worried about me? It felt more like he was relieved that I was finally here. What was I even saying? It wasn't like any of the triplets cared. The only reason they were around me was because of the power that they wielded over me. The power to torment, crush, and destroy. Squirming in my seat, I
Chapter one Renee’s P.O.V “Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday Nerissa” The beautiful hums that emanated from the sitting area filled my ears while I stood in the darkness, opening the kitchen faucet in a bid to rinse the plate. It was my sister’s birthday and she had just turned 18. Sadly, it was mine as well but my adopted parents never considered me as their daughter because I was nothing but a lowly wolfless omega, clumsy, frail, and timid and to worsen it I was….. “Arrgh” A painful groan escaped my lips and the plate that I was holding fell to the ground at that moment, my heart slammed against my ribcage because I knew that I was done for. Her scent wafted through my nostrils and before I knew what was happening, she grabbed a fistful of my hair, screaming while I shuddered. “You blind girl! I know that you can’t see but can your brain let you know that the whole sink is foaming with bubbles?” I shrieked, mumbling while trying to adjus
