2024-07-10 20:19:16Renee's POV
School 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: Dad
Sorry, 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 :P
I 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 down, revealing a smiling Ryder.
"Need a ride?" he asked.
"No thanks." I told him and continued on walking. What's his deal? This is probably a prank or something.
"Aw, come on?" He said this while following me with his car. I frowned. I suddenly got annoyed with him.
I was about to say something to him, but someone who was jogging towards me had said, "Wait." I squinted my eyes and saw Luke.
Wtf?! "Renee!" He called out. He was then in front of me, panting and bending over while trying to catch his breath.
"Still need a ride?" Ryder asked while he ignored Luke.
I was about to answer him, but Luke rudely interrupted me. I scowled. Why is he even here? "She's walking with me. It's fine, you can go now."
Luke told him. It sounded like he threatened him when he said that, but it was probably my hearing problems. With that, Ryder just nodded and left.
"What's your deal?" I asked him and glared.
He was Blake's best friend, so I had no interest in any of Blake's possessions. They were all deleterious in a way.
He shrugged. "I just wanted to walk with you."
He said.
"Cut the crap, Luke! You practically laughed at me when Blake and your other imbecile best friends made fun of me, and you expect us to be okay? Why are you here?!" I growled at him.
He sighed. "I didn't really laugh at you. I just stood there, watching what was happening.
Sorry, by the way." He told me.
"I actually wanted to wall with you." He added while scratching the back of his neck. I froze. He apologized. I sighed. I freaking hate nice guys.
"It's whatever's." I told him and stared into his eyes.
"So can 1?" He asked and pouted. My lips were twitching up, and I couldn't stop the smile on my lips from appearing.
"Yeah, yeah." I told him while his eyes gleamed with happiness. I don't know.
We started walking, and it was silent. I was about to ask him something, but he did first.
"I'm sorry for what Blake did to you." He said.
I scoffed. But he continued on. "That was really uncalled for." He added.
"If he's so sorry, why doesn't he come say sorry in front of my face? Plus, sorry doesn't cut what damage he did to me." I told him nonchalantly. He was quiet.
"So, how's life?" He asked nervously.
"Really? How's life? Considering the fact that it freaking stinks, my life is pretty miserable, actually." I answered smoothly.
"You're so rancorous." Luke said. What the fuck was rancorous?! He knows big words.
Even though I'm a nerd, I really don't know.
There are some words that are too long to remember.
"Rancorous is bitter or hateful." He chuckled and told me. He probably saw how confused I was.
When my house was coming into view, I looked over to Luke.
"Hey, thanks for walking with me." I told him and smiled genuinely. He smiled back.
"Like I said, I wanted to. And your welcome."
He said. He was pretty fun to walk with, even though it was merely quiet, but it was calming.
"Bye." I told him, and he said bye as he was walking off in a different direction. I sighed, then smiled.
Nice guys, I tell you. I chuckled and went into my house.

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

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.

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

Flashback You can say to the least I wasn't in a good mood. I went straight to class when I found out what Luke was doing, or more like who he's seeing. I slumped back on my chair and gripped my hair in frustration. I was angry.Why didn't Alex and Matt want to tell me?They knew she was my mate. So why?I followed Luke's trail. I made sure to stay close by so he wouldn't see me. I hid behind a nerd and gripped his shoulders so he wouldn't move.He was shaking in fear, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Stay still." I growled."O-0-okay." He stuttered. My eyes shifted back to Luke. He stopped in front of someone. I couldn't see who it was, so I grabbed onto the nerds shoulders again and forced him to move just a little step closer."Stay and don't move." I sternly said. He nodded. I peeked to the side, and what I saw made my heart drop. He was talking to Renee.So she's the girl?Igrowled miraculously. I was angry. I saw blood red when he made her smile. I was about to go there

Renee's POVIt was now lunch. To say the least, I was nervous sitting with Luke. What will people say or do? Most importantly, what would Blake do? I scoffed. Who cares what Blake would do? I don't care. I had a feeling Luke and I would not be sitting alone. I sighed and headed towards the cafeteria. I shrieked when someone grabbed my wrist and turned me around. I closed my eyes, waiting for a slap. But when it didn't come, I peeked a little and saw Luke, and he was smiling, amused at the situation. He then raised an eyebrow. Wow, is it hot in here or is it just me? I smiled cheekily. "Sorry, I didn't know it was you. I thought you were one of Lucy's minions." I mumbled quietly, but he heard. He chuckled deeply. "It's fine." He replied. He then turned us back facing the cafeteria and put an arm around my shoulders. I stiffened a little but then calmly relaxed. I caught a whiff of him; it was then I full-on sniffed him. He smelt really good. He smelt so manly. I sighed in a good w

Renee's POV BEWARE THERE A LOT OF CURSING IN THIS CHAPTER* As I exited out of the cafeteria, I caught a whiff of my ex-mates scent. I ignored it, but the scent just kept coming closer. I stopped about to turn around, but I was suddenly forced upon. I was met with green eyes, knowing it was my ex-mate. I frowned then glared at him. "What the hell do you want?" I spat while getting out of his hold. "I just wanted to talk." He shrugged and ran his hand through his hair. I scoffed. "There's nothing to talk about." I said walking away. As I was about to take the next step, he grabbed my wrist, and sparks flew around us. He then proceeded to drag me to God knows where. "Where the fuck are you taking me?!" I yelled and cursed at him, gaining a few odd looks of the student body. As we rounded around the locker, I was trapped, and my back was against a wall. I took my wrist out of his grip and crossed my arms. He stared at me with an expression I couldn't read. "Explain to me why you

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.

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?
