We finished two periods, and now I'm going to chemistry class, then it's lunch. I frowned when I was walking to class. When I passed by people, they would just stare at me and whisper to each other. This is happening because of the encounter I had with Blake. As I was almost to class, I got shoved really hard and fell on the floor. My glasses came off, and I tried to look for them, but it was hard for me to do so. People snickered.
"Looking for these?" said an evil voice. Right there and then, I knew who it was: Lucy Cam.
The head cheerleader. Blake's girlfriend. She grabbed my hair and pulled it hard. I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, and bit my lip hard as blood was seeping out. I was in too much pain. I opened my eyes. When I did that, it turned dark at first, but when I blinked it off and opened my eyes again, my vision was clear. So clear I didn't need my glasses. I was confused. Then, when she pulled harder, I growled menacingly at her. That's when I felt a hard slap on my cheek. Blake.
"How dare you growl at your future Luma? I apologize!" He yelled at me.
I smirked because he's very stupid. I'm his mate, but I know he already knew that.
I linked him and blocked everyone else who was in our pack.
No. That slut doesn't deserve a sorry from me.'
I barked. I stared at him as he was trying to control his anger. He calmed down a bit, and he smirked at me. He called out people to watch what was about to happen.
"People already know you're my mate, Renee.
I wasn't happy about you being my mate. I mean, who would want you? You're trash." He chuckled and looked me in the eyes. I looked at him blankly. He kept on going.
"You're worthless, useless, weak, ugly, and a sorry example of a mate. So I'm doing this for
my own good. I, Blake Klein, am the alpha of Silver.
Crescent Moon Pack rejects Renee Smith as my mate." He smirked bigger, and everyone who was watching mocked and laughed at me.
My heart stopped beating. I didn't show any emotion, and I still had a blank face on. Violet whimpered and howled. She couldn't bear the pain. I won't make her go through this.
Tm, sorry, Violet. But I'm doing this for our own good.' I told her.
'Renee! Please, please don't!' She cried. I sighed.
'He doesn't deserve us. We don't need him.' I yelled. She kept silent
because it was true. He doesn't deserve us. I don't need him. I smiled at Blake. Everyone looked at me in shock, expecting me to cry or break down, but I didn't. I looked at him with so much intensity.
"I, Renee Smith, accept your rejection." I told him. He looked hurt at first, but covered it up with a sneer. When the late bell rang, I went over to Lucy, who was standing still. I took my glasses out of her grasp. I smiled at her and thanked her for picking it up. I put on my glasses , hung my bag and went to chemistry class. Wow, what a day. I thought.
The bell rang, signalling period three is over.
I walked out the door, looking at the floor while
I was walking, but that didn't do me any good because I bumped into a wall and it was sore.
"Crap!" I whispered to myself. I rubbed my forehead soothingly. While I was doing that, I heard a deep chuckle. I looked up to see who it was. It was Ryder Cole, the school's bad boy. I blushed in embarrassment and apologised.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there." I told him, all flustered. He watched me in amusement.
It's either because I look really red or because I was flustered when I apologized. He chuckled again.
"It's fine." He said. He took his hand out and introduced himself. I already knew who he was, but I made him continue anyway. "Ryder,
Ryder Cole." He said it and smiled. I smiled back and introduced myself as well.
"Renee Smith." I told him and shook his hand.
"It's nice to meet you, Renee." He smirked.
I heard someone yell out his name and look behind him. It was Tyler Jone. His best friend. Ryder turned around and yelled to him, He'll be there. Ryder turned back to me and smiled. A genuine smile.
"I got to go. I'll bump into you next time." He winked and walked away. I blushed as he said that and sighed. I've always been sighing. It's a habit of mine. I shook my thoughts away and walked to the cafeteria.
When I reached the cafe, it was crowded. The line was still long, but I still stayed in line to get food. When it was my turn, I picked up a tray and got the food I wanted. As I was doing that, I felt a pair of eyes looking at me. I didn't look to see who it was because I already knew who that person was. I continued picking food.
When I was done, I scanned the room for an empty table to sit on.
When I was doing that, my eyes
accidentally drifted to Blake. He was staring at me, but I was the first to look away. I saw an empty table in the trash. I went over to that table, and when I got there, I put my tray down. I ate in silence and thought about this morning.
Blake's POVIt was 7:26 a.m., and school was about to start.It's my birthday today, and I'm turning 18.That means I'll be finding my mate. I wasn't really that excited, but my wolf is.My wolf is black, and the tip of its tail is red.His name is Steel, and he talks to me once in a while.I got up from my bed and got ready for school.When I was done, I left my house and got in my truck. I didn't bother saying bye to my parents because they're never here.I mentally rolled my eyes. What good parents I have! Since my mom and dad retired from being the leaders in our pack, my dad gave me his title instead. Therefore, it's my duty to protect my pack with my life. When I find my mate, she'll be the Luna, and she'll help me protect the pack too. That's if.I drove to school, and when I got there,I parked my truck with my best friends.Lamborghini, Alex Ross. When I got out of my truck, I spotted my friends sitting in the bleachers. I jogged and smiled while greeting them."Sup bro!" I s
Blake's POVWhen I got to class, I sat down in my seat. I paid no attention to the teacher whatsoever.I wasn't in the mood to. I dozed off the whole entire class period because my mind was still stuck thinking about what happened in the morning.This wasn't happening. My mate couldn't possibly be Renee. My mood darkens just thinking about her. Why her?! Out of the female population, the stupid goddamn moon goddess made me her mate!Fucking hell! "You know she has gone through a whole lot since sophomore year!" Steel growled at me. I scoffed, so now he talks. I ignored him as he continued on.'The least you can do is love her! She's our mate! The only reason she's vulnerable is because of you! You did this to her! YOU DESTROYED HER!' He snarled at me.'She fucking deserves it! She's weak! How many times do I have to tell you that? Lucy is strong, and plus, she's beautiful. Learn to love her now because she's going to be our FUTURE LUNA, and that's final!' I talked back. I was fuming a
Renee's POVSchool was over, and I'm glad. I couldn't go a minute without being stared at. I hated this.I hated Blake. If people already knew who his mate or mine was, Then so be it.Ill be known as 'the girl who accepted Blake's rejection' and that's fine, right? Well, for me, it is. I really didn't mind.I waited for my dad to pick me up. I haven't come in contact with anyone else but Ryder.Ryder was nice, or probably it was all an act.As I was waiting, I heard my phone beep. It was a message from my dad. Fr: DadSorry, kiddo, I can't pick you up today. I got called in for work at the at the last minute. Maybe next time, I promise.P.S. Please tell Nom, don't eat my donuts!!I'll be home late. See you guys at home.Love,Dad :PI mentally rolled my eyes. That's my dad for you. I started walking on the sidewalk and headed straight home.I heard a car stop by the curb. I was curious, so I stopped too. I looked at the car, and it was a Mercedes. Then suddenly, the window rolled dow
Renee's POVI had a lot of questions to ask my parents and things to tell them. I was in my room, currently in my own world, thinking about what had happened since this morning. I was doing my homework, but I couldn't say, "Renee! Dinner is ready!" My mother yelled from downstairs. I sighed and pushed my homework aside. I'll have to do that later. I got downstairs and headed into the kitchen. I saw my dad reading a magazine while mom was getting the table ready. "Dad, I thought you were coming home late today." I told him and sat on a chair. He looked at me and put the magazine down. "I did too, but Samuel said he'd be taking my shift today." He answered and stretched his arms. "I'm so tired!" He grumbled. I rolled my eyes at him. Samuel is my dad's best friend. He and his wife took part in taking care of me when I was a little kid, and with that, they were like my second parents. But unfortunately, I haven't been in contact with them since then. "At least you don't go to schoo
Renee's POV I woke up screaming in pain. What the hell was going on?! I fell off my bed while clutching my body and trying to make the pain go away, but it wasn't helping.I gritted my teeth and bit my lip as hard asI can; blood started to draw out. Suddenly, someone barged into my room. I was stillI screamed more when the pain increased."Honey, baby, please keep your eyes open!" I heard my mom yell while sobbing."Renee, stay with us!" My dad yelled."Please make the pain go away." I whispered to them, my energy running out. I fought to open my eyes, but as soon as someone wrapped their arms around me, I drifted off into darkness.Blake's POV "Blakey, we should do it again next time."Lucy purred into my ear. I scrunched up my face in disgust. Blakey? Are you serious? "Yeah, we should." I told her and forced a smile at her. I know having sex with her and marking her was probably a mistake, but at the same time, it wasn't. My pack finally has aLuna."Well, I got to go; I'll miss
Renee's POV I woke up groaning in pain. My body ached, and it was sore for me to move my limbs. I opened my eyes and noticed I was in my room.Huh? What happened last night?When I wriggled my toes, I finally had the guts to stretch my body. Crack. That felt good.Once I stood up, I felt dizzy at first, but then my senses came back.When I entered my bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror. I had dried tears on my cheek. I looked at my neck, and Blake's name was gone.Huh? I shrugged and really didn't care what happened. Who knows? He probably had sex with her and all. Then my eyes widened.So that's why I was in pain last night. Now I remember. I sighed, shaking my head."Asshole." I whispered violently to myself.How dare he?! For making me go through that process of pain. Just watch, Blake! You'll regret rejecting me or hurting me. I wanted to swear so loud, but I couldn't because my parents were downstairs.I finished showering and went into my closet to pick out what to wear.
Renee's POV When I got to school, whispers erupted everywhere. They gaped at me, following every move I made. Probably wondering howI look? I shrugged off the looks and continued walking to my locker.I stopped in front of my locker, and someone spray painted the word "bitch" on it. I pursed my lips and rolled my eyes. They could've at least picked a better color. Like purple or blue.I thought.I opened my locker, got my books out, and quickly shoved them in my bag. It was eerily quiet. I sighed and slammed my locker, which caused everyone to jump. I headed to my class, but unfortunately, someone stopped me.Luke? What did he want now? "Hey Renee." He greeted me and smiled."Hey." I greeted her back."You look good, by the way." He grinned. I looked him in the eyes and couldn't help but feel attracted to him. His eyes were crystal blue, and it was mesmerizing. My heart fluttered when he complimented me. EvenViolet was purring. I shook my thoughts out of my head and ignored the flu
Blake's POV When I got to school, I headed towards my friends at the bleachers. It was silent, and I gave them a confused look. "Guys?" I called out to them questionably. It looked like they were staring at something. I followed their gazes. They were looking at Renee. My jaw dropped, and I quickly checked her out. She had a makeover. She was wearing a dress, her flats, and light makeup. With her red lipstick, it completed the whole look. I looked at her, hoping she'd turn around and catch my eye, but she didn't. She continued walking as if no one were staring at her. I sighed and shook my head. No time for her, Blake. Remember, she's useless. I quickly said it in my head. I turned back to my friends and saw their lustful faces. I growled quietly. I couldn't help but feel angry because they probably had dirty thoughts about Renee. Luke was the first to snap out of it. He smiled, looked dazed for a while, and then turned to me. Weird. I thought. "Oh, sup, Blake." He greeted me
Renee's POV I stared at Blake's back. So freaking childish. Did he not remember? He was the one who rejected me, and he decides to act like this? I frowned as tears started to well up in my eyes. I opened up the link and decided to tell him, making everyone in the pack hear. Remember Blake. You're the one who rejected me. With that, I cut the link off when he was about to say something. He did this to himself. I thought. He rejected me in front of the whole school. He's so frustrating. I felt someone's thumbs brushed against my cheeks. I looked up and saw Matt looking at me worriedly. I tried to smile, but only turned to a frown. "Are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine." I whispered and looked at him. If I blink, my tears will fall. So I decided to hug Matt and buried my face on his neck, and that's when it fell. I cried silently as he rubbed my back gently. "Come on, let's skip school today." I heard Matt say as he still held me and made it towards his car. I'm
My eyes fluttered open, and I yawned as I heard my alarm go off. Another day at school. I groaned. My body healed pretty fast from yesterday. I still feel traumatised from what happened, thinking it might happen again. I got up and quickly got ready for school. I took my phone and quickly looked at my messages from Luke and Matthew. Luke: Still in for movies tonight? I quickly texted him. Sorry Luke, raincheck. Matthew: Hey, I tried calling you like 69 times? Are you OK? Better not back out with the plan! I rolled my eyes and giggled. He's such a pig. I felt my wolf purring. I'm fine, will tell you later! I quickly sent it back to him. I rushed downstairs and said good morning to my parents. I quickly had breakfast and headed to school, but Matt was already parked in front of my driveway with his car. I raised an eyebrow. "So no motorcycle today?" I told him. He shrugged. "My damn brother took it upstate. I mean, you can still hug me from behind if y
Blake's POV I watched her as I carried her and ran as fast as I could to home. I whimpered at the sight of what she looked like. Whoever was involved with kidnapping her, they're going to pay. I thought. As I reached home, I immediately brought her to my room and set her down on my bed. She shifted a little and mumbled. I went to my bathroom and filled hot water in a bucket. I quickly reached for a clean rag and damped it a little in the bucket. I brought the bucket out and set it down on the bedside. I took the now wet clean rag that was in the bucket out and squeezed it a little to get the water out. I slowly wiped the dried blood that was on her forehead and on the corner of her lips. I heard her wince in pain, and it hurt me. It hurt me because that bastard hurt her, and I didn't make it on time. I took the clean rag again that was full of blood and made sure to make it as clean as possible. I squeezed the water out and set it on her forehead. She sighed. Her e
Blake's POV. Blake, please, if you hear me, don't come here. Echoed through my head. Renee. I tried not to cry as I heard her voice and her warning. No. I'm going to save her, whether she likes it or not. I'm supposed to care for her. Love her. She's my mate, and I'm going to do everything in the power to save whoever takes her. As I was running through every wood trying to sniff her scent, I came across an old abandoned building, and I strongly could sense that she's in there. As I approached the building, I saw two guards by the door, and I immediately saw red. I growled threateningly. Just the thought of them laying a finger on Renee pissed me the hell off. They immediately turned and saw me and tried shooting me with a tranquilizer. I dodged it and jumped on them and snapped their necks. I do not have time to play games. These guards who were in my way had a death sentence. I barged into the house and immediately searched for Renee. I followed her scent and found her.
Renee's POV. Renee, I hope youre okay. I'm coming to get you, I promise. A familiar voice echoed in my head. I opened my eyes, but everything was still black. I groaned as I tried to stand up but I couldn't. My hands were tied behind my back, and my ankles were chained up. I sighed and stayed still. Stupid Ryder. It's his fault I'm in this position. I swear to God if I see... My thoughts cut off when I suddenly heard footsteps coming towards me. So freaking cliché. I thought. I rolled my eyes when my blindfold was ripped off my face. I was faced with an unfamiliar face. "Hello sister." He sickeningly said and smiled in an evil way. What the hell is he talking about? I'm not his sister. I don't have any siblings. I glared at him. "Who the fuck are you?" I spat and growled venomously. He stared at me in amusement and chuckled. "Didn't your "parents" tell you?" He asked curiously, a glint in his eyes. What does he mean? I was about to answer him, but he just ignored m
Blake's POV. I tossed and turned on my bed. I had a feeling in my stomach that something bad happened and that something was very bad. I groaned as I sat up on my bed and quickly went downstairs to get water. Ever since I saw Matt hanging out with Renee, I was angry. I felt all these emotions come out. She's my mate for god sake. She shouldn't be with another man. I growled furiously. But you rejected her. My inner self reminded me. I sighed. And I regret it. I thought. I drank the water. I filled myself up. Then a banging on the door started. And let me tell you, it wasn't those quiet ones. It was a very rowdy one. I rolled my eyes and headed towards the door and opened it. The sight surprised me. It was Renee's father and mother both in alert and had worried faces. I studied the mom's face, where she had dried tears on her cheeks while the dad had red-shot eyes. "Uh-m, may I help you, Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" I asked unsurely. They both stared at me, and the dad was the fir
Renee's POV I felt it. Everywhere I have gone, I felt a pair of eyes following my moves. I stopped walking as I felt them again and quickly turned around to see who it was. But no one was there. My heartbeat increased, and my hands started to sweat. What if someone's following me? I thought. I continued walking home, still paranoid in the thought that I'm being followed. A hand gripped my shoulder, and I stood frozen, eyes wide. I shrieked and jabbed my elbow into the stranger's stomach. I ran and ran. But someone yelled my name. Being the curious person I am, I halted and turned around to see Ryder groaning in pain on the ground, my heartbeat still beating loudly. "Ryder?!" I yelled curiously. I walked to him and helped him up. I then glared at him. "Don't ever do that again! I thought you were a rapist or something." I yelled and suddenly looked guilty as I watched him rubbed his stomach soothingly. "Damn woman, you hit so hard." He laughed, but it was strained. "It's
Blake's POV My ears perked up as I heard someone yell in the distance. Someone's here. I thought. I stopped the makeout session between me and Lucy. "Did you hear that?" I asked her. She gave me a lustful stare. "Hear what?" She purred in my ear and ran her hands up and down my chest. I pushed her off. This felt all wrong. "Nothing. Im probably hallucinating or something." I told her and ran my hand in my hair. "You should probably go; I'll be there to follow in a minute." I told her. She rolled her eyes and walked away. When her figure was nowhere in sight, I kept quiet as I tried to hear something off the distance. A girl laughing started, and it was familiar. I followed it, and as soon as I saw two figures on the grass and as soon as I took a good look at them, what I saw made me clench my jaw. Matt and Renee. What the hell is he doing with her?! I stayed where I was and listened to their conversation. "So when do we start?" Renee asked. Start what?! What are t
Matt's POV Purple was the colour that was stuck in my mind. As I stared deep into the depths of her eyes, I knew right there and then I was a goner. Her bright eyes that sparked something within me, as if she's looking through my soul, scared the crap out of me.My hand started to sweat, but I quickly wiped it off my pants. Why am I suddenly so interested in her? Is it because of how intense her eyes are? Or how beautiful she is?Woah. Back the fuck up, Matt. She's not your mate; she's Blake's, but the problem is that Blake doesn't want her.Shit. I cursed mentally. Ever since my mate rejected me, I didn't care. I didn't want to get tied down to a person who didn't love me back. So I did one thing: forget about her.But this one, Renee, she's got me interested.Blake was lucky enough to have Renee as his mate, but no, he wanted Lucy, the school slut.But with the plan Renee agrees on, just maybe he'll want her back or maybe not? "So you're saying that I have to pretend to date you so
