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
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.
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’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
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
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
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
Lennox’s P.O.V I tossed the baseball bat to the ground, my eyes darting to Renee, who stared at the lifeless body of the rogue in horror. Dark blood pulled beneath the Rogue’s body. He had been beaten to death by us. No one touches our mate and goes Scot-free. I took a long stride towards Renee, who remained frozen in fear, her lips wobbling as she struggled to tear her gaze off the grotesque sight of the body. As soon as I appeared before her, she gulped, taking in a shaky breath as she took a step back—Only for Levi to push her forward. Her breathing hitched as soon as her hands rested gently on my chest. She swallowed, her voice barely above a whisper as she took a step back. “You killed the…” Before she could complete her words, I gripped her by the jaw, forcing her to stare up at me as her eyes met mine. She whimpered softly and at that moment, a devious smile crept at the corners of my mouth. “What did you expect us to do to him? Give him a pat on the head for sl
Louis’s P.O.V Nothing Renee did escaped my siblings and I’s notice. We saw the way she kept up with her squeaky little games. Most importantly, we knew about her plans to get a part-time job— The boys assigned to follow her were the ones who had always provided us with information about the places she frequented. She frequented Restaurants, Cafés, and worse, casinos. The desperation was real! I leaned down slightly, my lips brushing through the side of her neck as I nibbled on the side softly. “Did you have a lot of fun, hiding, little mouse?” She stiffened in my arms and at that moment, the door that she had closed was kicked open and the man who was reported to have slapped her on the ass was tossed to the ground. Lennox had blood trailing underneath his nostrils and Levi’s hair was tousled, but what was more noticeable was the groaning Rogue whose face was covered in blood. He tried to run for safety, but Levi stepped on his foot with so much pressure that cause
Renee’s P.O.V Since that humiliating ritual that Nerissa made me go through, I sat on the rooftop for hours because of the anger that made my blood boil. I missed classes and practicals but no matter how much I tried to cry, the tears never came. Instead, immense pain kept making my heart twist in my chest. I would never forgive Nerissa for what she had done and at the same time, how could she be among the top three? That girl didn't even complete the evaluation test before she was taken to the school clinic in an emergency. What was more absurd was the fact that no one was asking questions as to how Nerissa emerged as the top three. Maybe it was because asking questions meant going against one of the major pioneers of the school and one thing most packs wouldn't want to do is cross with Alpha Dominic. So everyone accepted the shit that was being thrown at their faces even though it made no sense to them. My chest heaved up and down and all of a sudden, my heart drift
Nerissa’s P.O.V Applause echoed through the entire assembly hall and a smile spread through my face as I exchanged handshakes with the principal. Despite the enjoyment that swirled within me and the eyes that were all over me, I could feel these distinct eyes— Eyes whose burning gaze singed through my cheeks. I didn't need to panic before knowing who stared at me with so much venom. I tilted my head in the direction where I felt that feeling from and a smug smile slowly spread through my face as my eyes locked onto hers. The way her eyes blazed with fury intensified my excitement and the only thing that I wanted to do was humiliate her further. I shifted my gaze away from Renee, darting my eyes to the principal with a big smile on my face. “Thank you, ma’am. However, I have a request to make with you. Can you please let someone give me the medal for coming first, it would mean a lot to her” My voice was barely above a whisper. The principal nodded. “Of course, who do y
Renee With every step that I took into the school, a cold shiver ran down my spine. The fact that he didn’t say anything meant something. We were not even supposed to cross paths and to think that he left without causing a scene made fear gnaw at my insides. Something was going to happen, and I could feel it deep within me. All of a sudden, I was jolted out of my thoughts because of the murmurs and small talk in the background that soon filtered down my ears. Everyone seemed to be talking about me. “I heard rumors that she can now see?” “I doubt that is true” “She looks different a lot” I stopped dead in my tracks and at that moment, confusion swirled in my mind. How could the rumors have spread fast? Who told them? Could it be Landon? Landon wasn’t the nosy type, so why would he spread such a thing? At that moment, the thoughts that plagued my mind soon vanished when my eyes landed on the sculptures around the school grounds. A hitching gasp escaped me and I
Renee’s P.O.V My life, my soul, and my body were controlled by them, but not my mind. I had hardened my heart and nothing could ever stop me from doing what I had set my mind to doing. Not even Aria. Now that I had regained my eyesight, this was going to be the greatest mistake of their lives. The consequences of my actions would be severe—I knew that. But they have played this game for so long, and it was just right that I took back control of my life and did the things I wanted. Firstly, I had secretly applied for different part-time jobs and my only hope was that they would give me feedback. Something positive at least. Then, I would save a lot of money and go to a place where no one was ever going to find me. Just the thought of freedom caused this adrenaline rush to surge through me, and it made my heart pound against my chest in excitement. As if it were never there in the first place, the excitement inside of me vanished when Lennox’s threat flashed through my
Renee’s P.O.V I had regained consciousness, only to remain in the bathroom, staring at my reflection in the mirror while admiring myself. Beautiful dark hair, pretty eyes, and a perfect smile—I was in love with myself. I had spent the rest of the hours taking numerous pictures in a bid to forget about the triplets because my mind wouldn’t stop wanting to think about how handsome they were. I opened a social media account, watching thirst traps, and seeing beautiful hot models on the internet and the only thing I wanted at that moment was to take pictures like them. Regaining my eyesight, I wanted to try out so many things like learning how to swim, how to cook, and going on a solo date on my own. I wanted to travel around the world on my own, try out different cuisines, and catch up on the things I have missed because of my blindness. This was perfect. My mind drifted back to the triplets and my heart turned cold in my chest. It was safe to say that I had fallen in l
Renee’s P.O.V A slight groan escaped me and at that moment, a lot of memories rushed inside my head—All my adventures with the triplets, my finding out about the death of my mum, everything that happened in Elite Arts High School, and most importantly the fact that Levi had abandoned me. I felt a dull ache throbbing behind my eyes and when I attempted to lift my hands, that was when it dawned on me that I couldn't. I was too weak to even move my body. Where was I? The faint smell of antiseptic and a mix of lavender wafted through my nostrils. Why did it smell like a hospital? Did anything happen… All of a sudden, the fog that clouded the most important aspect of my memories suddenly cleared and at that moment, the reality hit me that I had undergone the surgery to correct my eye blindness. According to the optometrist during the diagnosis and checkups, he claimed that I had corneal damage that was most likely caused by an accident— A car crash. I counted his word
Renee’s P.O.V As soon as I heard her utter those words, I froze and dread washed over me because what did she mean by she could smell me? All I knew was that an awkward laughter followed and the next sound that followed was that of the door being slammed shut and at that moment, fear set in on me. Was it me or did it seem like Levi had left? Like he had abandoned me here and… My pulse quickened, and a cold sweat broke from my forehead as I resorted to gnawing on my fingers because the last thing that I wanted to believe was that Levi left Nerissa’s room. If he left, then it meant that he had left the pack house and I was now alone to suffer the consequences of my actions. And to worsen things, my phone wasn't with me. I mean, why did he have to start a fight with Landon, for crying out loud? I swallowed the huge lump that formed in my throat, trembling in Nerissa’s closet in fear. I still found it difficult to believe that Levi would abandon me, despite knowing that
