RENO
I had lost count of how many push ups I had done .It was probably a lot since I was beginning to feel a creak in my shoulders , I did not usually feel creaks until after I had passed the eight hundred mark .I finally stopped and stood up from my position .Someone had left me a towel and a flask , I picked the towel and wiped my face before sipping the contents of the flask .Hmmm , cold cranberry juice .It had to be Ollie , he was the only one that would leave me cold cranberry juice .I walked towards the center of the gym where a large boxing ring was situated .
Rio and Ollie were currently pommelling each other into bits .Ollie had been my brother's friend since we were children .Best friend was an exaggeration since Rio and I had been so inseperable that we had no really close friends other than each other .Our grandfather used to joke that we might as well have been conjoined twins .But he was Rio's closest friend and Rio had confided that he would make him Gamma when he became Alpha ."When he became Alpha".
We had made so many plans of how we would live when Rio became Alpha but now there was a chance I would no longer be a part of any of those plans .
I did not want to admit it to my family because I knew they would go to the end of the Earth if I chose not to marry Alex but I was hurting .I had never been away from my family for longer than a day and I had never gone more than a few hours without seeing Rio ." Hey Reno , you're done ? " , Rio suddenly shouted when he noticed me standing by the corner .
Ollie turned his head to also take a look and Rio without wasting time gave Ollie an uppercut .
Ollie flew back , the thick ropes of the ring breaking his fall .I laughed loudly , Ollie always fell for Rio's stupid tactics .Ollie groaned loudly , " You are such an immature cheat ".
Rio stuck out his tongue , " Says the sore loser" .
He jumped out of the ring with his hands around a flask he had picked up by the edge of the ring , it was an exact replica of mine .
He saw Reno's face and stopped , the drink halfway to his mouth ." You've been thinking about it ", Rio observed as he walked closer .
I scoffed.
" I can't exactly not think about it ", I told him .He nodded .
" You said it yourself , we will be only an hour away from each other and I will always be your big brother who will be ever ..."" Just shut up ".
He did as I asked .We both knew that Rio was terrible at comforting and any sentimental relations in general .We both watched silently as Ollie cleaned the gym in preparation for today ." You don't have to go ", He professed .
" I do kind of have to ", I told him .
" I will protect you and our pack if you don't want to ", he said .
I chuckled .
" The strain of having the other packs breathing down our necks will be terrible on both of us ", I shared .
" I will handle them ", He assured me .
I smiled , my brother was not going to hide behind me anymore .
He was not going to hold down people while I drew penises on their foreheads .He wasn't going to wake me up every morning , there wasn't going to be any friendly brawls in the rain .How would I survive without my brother ?
" I have no problem with marrying Alex , I can handle that ", I stated .
" What I am scared of is ...what I do not think I can handle is not being around mum and dad and you and the pack , I mean how am I going to even get out of bed without you forcing me out ? "
Rio chuckled .
" Don't become a crybaby on me , I told you , I will only be a mind link away " , he whispered ." Even if there's nothing wrong and you are just tired , I'll come and get you out of there , then I'll torch Alex after tying him to their pack house ", he promised .
I laughed at this .
" Are you over your phobia for fire ? " , I inquired mockingly .He glared at me , his eyes becoming slits .
I had once convinced Rio to play with a match box with me when we were little kids .A lit match stick had somehow ended on Rio's head and burnt his hair to the scalp .Mama's punishment for him had been that he would not wear any caps till his hair grew while I had worked in the Pack's kitchen for weeks .I had fought the longest fight of my life during the two week period that Rio's hair grew .Beating up everyone that laughed or pointed at Rio even if they were older or larger than me took a lot .I still had scars from then ." I'm going to forgive you since my hair grew back ", he whispered .
" You once lost your hair ? ", Ollie called from behind us .
We had been so wrapped up in our conversation we had not even noticed him ." No " , We both chorused .
Ollie blinked , his gray eyes gleaming .
" I didn't know you once suffered such , was it cancer ? " , he asked again ." I didn't suffer anything , especially not cancer ", Rio countered , his green eyes were blazing .
" Ahahh ", Ollie chuckled, " It must be from that time in middle school when you lost all your hair to a freak accident ".
Rio's eyes flattened .
" No , it's from the time I found out that you were in love with my ..."" Oh , look at the time . Shouldn't you two be going to have breakfast now ? ", Ollie suddenly shouted as he cut off what Rio was about to say .
Reno chuckled excitedly .
" Ollie likes someone ? Is it someone I know ? Is she Ollie's mate ? Come on Ollie , confess to her .And if she refuses , you can just ...."Rio had put his sweaty palm over my mouth .
I watched from the corner of my eyes as they exchanged some weird male looks .I kept struggling with Rio and would have bitten him if the thought was not so scary .He finally let me go ." Oh Moon goddess ", I exclaimed .
" Ollie's in love with someone that has a mate ! ", I yelled out.Rio face palmed while Ollie continued to avoid my eye , quite sketchy if you ask me .
" Come on , we are leaving ", Rio called as he dragged me out of the gym .
" I will find out sooner or later , you can't keep it hidden from me ", I screamed as I was dragged out .
" Is she really mated ? ", I asked Rio once we were outside .
" Something like that ", He replied .
I knew Rio , there was no getting any information out of him if he did not want me to know .
He lifted his flask to his mouth and drank .
He spat it out a moment later ." What the fuck is this ? ", He bellowed , his face was scrunched up .I grabbed the flask and drank from it , it was lemonade .
Very sour lemonade .In face , it was just squeezed lemons ." What did he give you ?", he asked as he pointed at my flask .
" Cranberry Juice ", I replied as I gave him my flask to drink out of .
" That idiot. This is what I get for keeping his secret ? ", Rio complained.
" What secret ? " I asked with a small smile .
He pretended not to have heard and just finished my juice .
The streets were finally full of people going about their daily business .We reached the pack house almost forty five minutes later .Being the Alpha's daughter automatically meant that everyone wanted to pour their hearts out to you .Since the Alpha was too scary , the female Alpha too busy , the soon to be Alpha also quite unapproachable , I had to be the face and ears of the family.When we reached the pack house , Mum and dad sat at the table , their meals were untouched .
We took our seats next to them ." What's up Alphas? ", I greeted .Mum raised her head and I saw that she had been crying , her eyes were rimmed with red and she suddenly looked older .Dad's frown lines had tripled ." It's me , I'll be okay ", I tried to assure them .
Mum took one look at me and turned to dad .
" I'm not giving my child to that ass and his son who is an even bigger ass ", She was being really graphic ." I don't want to give Reno out to anyone either ", Dad replied gruffly .
I held both their hands .
" Come on Alphas ,I'm not being sold to become a slave or something . I will be an Alpha and if my plan works well , I will do away with Alex and become sole Alpha ", I announced brilliantly. I laughed at my brilliance while the rest of my family forcefully joined ." The part where you do away with that poor boy is a joke right , Reno? ", Mum looked about ready to squeeze my head of .
" Poor boy ? You called him an ass just now ", I yelled .
" Honey , I love you but I'm not blind to your flaws . Any man that marries you will always have my sympathy ", She said .
I scoffed .
" I'm a joy to be with , right dad ? "He ignored my question and instead announced something else ." So , the biannual meeting is in a few days , are you all ready ? ", Dad asked .
I sighed .
Biannual meeting meant I would have to see Kane Weston .He was a fucking bore that balked at every fun thing I wanted to do and reported every mess I made .And , I was probably going to be seeing my future husband , Alex fucking Herrera .But , Kane was Alpha now which means I can't even mess with him or pull down his pants when he's not looking .Maybe I could fill his room with frogs ." Does she have to go ?", Mum asked .
" Of course I do , I want to see what corny Kane looks like as an Alpha ", I admitted .
Rio cleared his throat .
" I'll be alpha soon , So I have to form good relations with Cor...with Kane ", He stated .I nodded , he was right .
" How about you leave the other things to me while you do Alpha business ? ", I asked ." No ", Dad said ," There won't be any pranks this time around ".
I gasped and looked around the table , they were all wearing the same expression.
For some reason , I felt distant , like we had already been separated .
I pushed my chair back and got out of there , running out of the pack house .I changed midway and kept running till I could no longer run .KANEEver since he had returned to the pack house the day before after training with Josh, Kane had been unable to leave his office .He had worked all day and through the night and only gotten through a half of what needed to be done now .Kane was positive that if he had to go through another file filled with complaints , he would break his work table in half so , he left his office briefly for a break . He walked down the stairs of the pack house hoping to not encounter anyone .His mum had wanted him to move into the pack house to help his transition to Alpha while his parents had moved into his own house that was located farther away from the pack , quite close to the border.The closeness to the border made Kane anxious , he had not been anxious when he lived there and his parents complained daily .But now that only his parents lived there , Kane was constantly worried . He stepped out of the Packs house and headed to the house by the b
RENOI opened my eyes when I heard rustling around me .The sun had began to go down, casting a reddish glow on the trees and the small river by which I lay .Shit , I had been here for a long time .I sat up and realized I was naked .Bigger shit , I mentally face palmed, Could this get any worse ?My parents were probably worried sick with how I had suddenly run out on them during breakfast which was something I had never done.I was usually very meticulous when I changed .Either I had clothes stashed in the woods or I carefully took off my clothes before changing but this time , I had just burst and turned my clothes into mere strips .I heard the rustling again and raised my head to sniff the air , a familiar smell , I waited for him to reach me .He stopped behind a tree ." I brought you clothes , are they needed ? ", Rio yelled .I jumped back, startled by his sudden yelling ." Geez , keep it toget
RENOI caught a whiff of a familiar scent mixed with sweat,he had been training already.There was footsteps approaching my door,I closed my eyes tight waiting for the footsteps to pass.The footsteps did not pass and instead stopped in front of my door.I sighed and groaned into my pillow.The knock sounded a second later , I looked down to make sure I was decent , you never knew when you would forget that you had no clothes on . " Enter ! ", I yelled out . My twin brother walked in , he was an exact replica of me .From my midnight coloured hair to my red toes.I smirked , I had painted his toes yesterday while he slept .He stood at the entrance of my room now giving me an evil stare . " Really Reno ? ", He called out , his green eyes narrowing . I chuckled . " It seemed funny at the moment ", I told him as I sat up in bed . He suddenly got a very evil look in his eyes .His face morphed into an extremely
KANEKane blocked the hit before it reached him , dodged left and threw his gamma unto his back .The rest of the crowd whooped loudly while his Gamma who was also one of his two best friends rolled his eyes and began to boo like a sulking child .Kane laughed out and waved at the crowd that had gathered around the ring they had built in the center of the Packs grounds ." Get up ", Kane called out .Josh jumped on his feet with a very attractive flip and bowed to the crowd before turning to Kane .They headed out of the ring and made their way back to the Pack house .The fighting ring at the center of the Pack grounds was new , one of Kane's ideas to focus the youths energy into something else because the amount of times that they went to town to bail their boys was grating on his nerves .And since it had been a long standing tradition for the Pack's children to go to school with humans to develop their people skills , Kane had to fin
