Renna

The rest of the day seemed to drag, with each minute feeling longer than the last, and when I finally made it home, Xavier was nowhere to be found.

Where is he?

Despite attempting the mind link, it seemed to be shut off, or he was simply out of range. In response, I sent him a message and patiently waited for his reply.

I was wearing down the thick carpet fibres in the lounge as I anxiously paced back and forth. I was startled and jumped out of my skin when my phone beeped, the sudden sound jolting me. It was from Xavier his meeting ran long. Great, just great.

I foraged in the kitchen looking for something to eat. My stomach had been in knots thinking of how I was going to tell him what I saw. So far, all I had was your ex and best friend are doing the nasty.

Not exactly a great start. I was climbing up over the cupboards. Whoever designed this was clearly a giant because I had to do a full work out to reach half of the appliances. When I eventually had everything I needed

    RennaXavier never came home last night, and when he did in the morning, he barely spoke two words to me before I left for work.Why is being so blind?I haven't been actively trying to expose them, but their lack of subtlety in trying to hide their intentions is becoming more and more evident. As I hate injustice, if he needs proof to believe this, then that is what I will get because I have this terrible need to be right.That and I don’t want to fight with my mate like this … why can’t he understand that I’m trying to look out for him? I’m not being petty or jealous. I understand they are both important to him, but it’s always the people closest to us that cause us the most harm.What annoys me more is I have no idea where he went last night. The problem is, I’m sure it will have been with either one of them in question. How would I even get evidence now? I’m sure they will cover their tracks further?My wolf was restless.

    RennaI wanted to stop by and see Grandma on the way home; I hadn’t seen her since the Luna ceremony and I wanted to make sure that she was doing okay. She had had to leave early after all and I felt bad I hadn’t checked on her. I had a feeling I needed to see her and make sure was doing it alright.I didn’t bother to message Xavier maybe it was petty of me but he hadn’t exactly messaged me all day to see how I was doing and if he was still going to be mad about me telling him the truth, then I wasn’t going to be the first to break.The drive to the hospital was quick enough. I was hungry, but after those weeks of living in my car, I was used to it. I’m sure I can grab a sandwich when I get there. I park up, letting out a heavy sigh. I really hate arguing with Xavier I just don’t understand why he hasn’t called or messaged me to see how I am?I walk through waving at the nursing staff. They all know me now and give me a few smiles and a wave. It seems rather quiet tonight not many oth

    Renna After seeing Grandma, I parked up outside the house, the sound of the car door closing echoing in the quiet street. I was glad I had seen her; the touch of her hand lingered on mine, making me promise to visit her more often. Just as I was about to get out, the shrill sound of my phone ringing fills the air. When I look down, I see it’s the hospital. I answer immediately, “Hello?” I asked, my voice tinged with uncertainty, unsure why they were calling me. There were no signs of trouble or any issues when I was there. “Luna Renna, please, can you come back to the hospital? There has been a situation.” The nurse on the other end of the phone tells me as I pause, thinking about what it could possibly be. “Okay, I’ll be right there,” I hang up, feeling the weight of the key in my hand as I slide it back into the ignition before turning out of the driveway and heading back to the hospital. I can't work out what could have possibly happened in the 20 minutes it has taken me to get

    XavierI had heard from Cole what had happened down at the hospital and made my way there just after Renna had left. I wanted to be there for her, but things between us weren’t good. I had overreacted the other night and now I haven’t really seen her since then; we are just two ships passing in the night.A frustrated sigh escaped from my lips. The night I left, I had no intention of meeting up with anyone. While driving through the pack, I made a spontaneous decision to stop at one of the bars. As luck would have it, Sage happened to be there. I didn’t plan on seeing her, but she has always been a good friend to me and I didn’t think anything of it.Now though, so much time has gone on and if I tell Ren now, she will see it as I left her to go see Sage when that is not the case and if I don’t tell her, she will see it as a betrayal. A lie that I’m keeping from her. Either way, I can’t win and no matter what I say, it will hurt her.I spent some time at the hospital assessing the dama

    XavierWith my lack of sleep from the previous night, her taste lingered on my tongue, and truthfully, it infuriated me. The fact that no woman had ever said no to me only fuelled my determination not to let her have the upper hand. She may have won that round last night, but tonight is a different story.I had left before the sun came up, the sky still a canvas of muted colours, calling for an emergency elders meeting. You can imagine how thrilled they are, but Ren was right about one thing - someone had brutally taken the life of her beloved grandma. If I wanted to bring justice, I needed to take immediate action.Since they were both part of the pack, this event occurred after she became Luna, signifying that I had the right to request such extreme actions. I had reached my breaking point with this nonsense involving the council.Cole walked into the room, carefully balancing two mugs as he placed a steaming cup of coffee on my desk, then took his seat across from me. “Did you find

    XavierLeaving the meeting behind, we headed to a bar conveniently located nearby. Cole graciously took care of ordering two beers while I secured a table tucked away from the crowd. Even though I am marked and have a Luna as alpha, women still hit on me and with Ren and I fighting I don’t want it getting back to her that I’m flirting with another woman. That's not something I would ever even think about doing.As I strummed my fingers on the sticky table, I eagerly awaited Cole's return. It had been a while since we last did this, and I was grateful for the opportunity. Even if I feel like I am doing a little digging.Cole returns with the drinks, their condensation leaving a cool sensation on my fingertips, and we engage in an easygoing conversation about life in general before he shifts his focus to asking me about Ren. In addition, it appears that he requested the barman to bring us another round every half hour. Being a wolf, it takes a lot to make me drunk, but somehow I always

    RennaLast night, Xavier's wolf ravished my body with such intensity that I can still feel its lingering effects. I couldn't bring myself to stop him because the sensation was too pleasurable. His growl of "mine mine mine" only fuelled my desire, making me even more aroused.This morning, I woke up to an empty bed, realising that Xavier had already left for the day, deliberately avoiding me. The tension between us lingered, and the ache of being ignored overshadowed his disbelief in my words. I just wanted to leave it all behind and start afresh.I sank into the warm bath, still feeling the tingling sensation from the encounter with the magical beast. The hot water embraced my body, providing much-needed comfort and relief from my aches and pains. As I lay here, everything around me was still, allowing my mind to wander back to the day before. I had wanted him to comfort me, but the sight of my grandma in that state made me realise how much I needed his support.The image of her mutil

    RennaLike two ships passing in the night, I hardly saw Xavier, we really needed to talk. Lately, the only time we spend together is when his wolf takes over. I just can’t understand why he doesn’t want to understand my point of view.Leo is working with me today. His carefree attitude is welcome amongst all the chaos that is my life. I feel there is something in the air. I can sense the change coming to the pack and although I don’t know what Xavier has decided to do but whatever his agenda is, I have my own.“Renna?” Leo calls me, pulling from my thoughts as I look down, seeing the water I was pouring, spilling over the top. Shit. I release the tap and rush over to the sink to pour out the excess water before grabbing the mop. Leo looks at me, shaking his head as I laugh.“I know, sorry I was lost in thought,” I laugh it off, cleaning up the puddle I made on the floor. Leo gives me one of his smirks before he looks up, seeing a customer at the bar.“You look like you are up to somet

    Renna We had been living in our cosy bubble of three for several weeks now. Me, Xavier, and Orion. The soft glow of the evening sun streamed through the curtains, casting warm hues across our living room. Xavier’s idea to name our son after my beloved dad filled my heart with joy. It had been just the three of us, cherishing every moment as a family. But tonight, I was eagerly bursting our bubble for a long-awaited date with my captivating alpha. I adorned myself in alluring lingerie, the delicate lace teasingly brushing against my skin. I yearned for our sexy time with my mate, I knew he was desperate for it too. However, our precious little Orion would inevitably interrupt our passionate rendezvous. His sweet cries would pierce the air, filling the room with an innocent melody of hunger and discomfort. The frustration began to well up inside me, like a simmering storm. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my baby Orion. He is the epitome of cuteness, the greatest blessing in my life. But e

    Renna “Push, Luna,” the midwife urges, her voice firm yet gentle, as I growl in her face. The sterile hospital room is filled with the rhythmic beeping of machines and the faint scent of antiseptic. Childbirth, a relentless storm of agony, floods my senses, making me question why anyone willingly endures this. No wonder I was an only child. Xavier, my partner, hovers around me like an annoying fly, fussing over me incessantly. The pain, like a thousand fiery tendrils, wracks my body as I summon every ounce of strength to push our precious baby into the world. “Ren, you’re doing amazing!” Xavier’s voice resonates with pride and excitement as he gently wipes the sweat off my forehead. I have to remind myself of my love for this man, even as I glare at his infuriating face for being the reason behind my pregnancy. A low growl escapes my lips, but he remains undeterred, his eyes filled with adoration. I can hear the rhythmic beeping of the heart rate monitor, a constant reminder of the l

    Xavier As I poured my heart out to her, the words flowed like a river. Was she merely manipulating me, using my vulnerabilities against me? The air felt heavy with tension as her words echoed in the room. “You rejected me, Xavier. I was destined to be the luna of this pack. he goddess ensured it and then you didn’t want me … I wasn’t good enough for you!” The scent of her anger hung in the air, mixing with the musky aroma of the room. Her words hit me like a wave, leaving me speechless and bewildered. “Sage, none of that is true,” I say, my voice filled with desperation, the words hanging in the air between us. I continue, my words tinged with sadness, “Yes, I rejected you, but it wasn’t my choice. The council forced me to do it.” I pause, hoping she will understand. Her head shakes, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if I am spinning a web of lies. “I was happy for you to be my mate,” I whisper, my voice breaking. I can feel the weight of the words, heavy on my chest. The room sud

    Xavier Now that Ren had regained her memories, life was filled with an undeniable sense of contentment. The sun’s warm rays gently caressed our faces as we strolled hand in hand through the park, birds singing their melodious tunes. I shared the news of the pregnancy, and though initially taken aback, her eyes sparkled with joy, mirroring the vibrant colours of the blooming flowers around us. I couldn’t help but notice the tender way she delicately rubbed her belly, a radiant smile adorning her face, as if whispering sweet secrets to our growing little pup. It was in those moments, when she thought I wasn’t looking, that I felt an overwhelming sense of love and anticipation. The weight of past worries and anxieties had dissolved, allowing us to embrace the future together, free from the burdens that once weighed us down. There was just one final task lingering before us, a mere formality standing between us and pure bliss. As we savored the moment, the air was filled with tranquilit

    Xavier Over the course of a few more weeks, I’ve noticed a significant change in Ren’s demeanour towards me. As I continue to work from home, our bond has grown stronger, and she now frequently sits beside me, her presence a comforting companion. However, the memory of our shared kiss lingers vividly in my mind, like a faint whisper of a distant melody. It’s been a while since that intimate moment, and while I sensed her enjoyment, a palpable restraint now holds her back. I attempt to read this email once again, but she becomes a constant distraction. Today, she deliberately dons an outfit that captures my attention. Her choice of tiny short shorts reveals the alluring curve of her silhouette with every step she takes. The sight of her crop top, barely concealing her ample cleavage with its deep V-neck, creates an irresistible temptation. I struggle to resist the overwhelming desire to approach her and give in to our carnal desires. I have been partially concealed behind the sturdy

    Renna I had spent a week in my so-called home, surrounded by familiar yet unfamiliar faces. Xavier, my companion, had rarely shown up at his workplace, instead opting to take me to my former workplace. There, amidst the bustling sounds and smells, I encountered a girl named Elara, her laughter filling the air like a melodic symphony, and a guy called Leo, his presence commanding yet comforting. Now, Leo had risen to the rank of beta within the pack. But as I observed them, I couldn’t shake the nagging thought that they could be more than mere acquaintances. They could be my long-lost siblings, hidden in the depths of my forgotten memories. Xavier’s words echoed in my ears, leaving me with a sense of emptiness. He claimed that I was an orphan, with no remaining family except for him. Conflicting emotions surged within me, unsure of how to process this revelation. As I glanced at myself in the mirror, my gaze fixated on the sight of my mate mark, while occasionally stealing glances at

    Xavier “I hope these words help jog your memory. But Ren, please know I would never hurt you.” The soft glow of the lamp envelops us as she nods, her eyes filled with trust. As I pass her the book, our fingers brush, sending a tingle down my spine. It kills me that this fleeting touch is the only physical connection we can share. “I... I know,” she smiles warmly at me, the corners of her lips lifting ever so slightly. In that moment, a glimmer of hope ignites within me, like a tiny flame flickering to life. With delicate hands, she takes the books from me, their weight transferring from my palms to hers. As she flips through the pages, the sound of paper rustling fills the room, a soft whisper that mingles with the hushed anticipation hanging in the air. Her eyes fixate on certain photos, her gaze lingering on them for what feels like an eternity. I watch intently, wondering if those images hold the power to jog her memory. “Xavier? Please, can you not hover,” she states, her voice

    Xavier We patiently waited for Renna to settle in, giving her a few days to find her bearings. Though she couldn’t recall my identity, the doctor assured us that being in the comfort of our own home would aid in triggering her memory. The familiar sights, the soothing scents, and the comforting ambiance of home were believed to be the key to her recovery. I prayed that my efforts were sufficient, but her wariness lingered, tormenting me. The urge to embrace and kiss her consumed me, but I couldn’t bear to see fear in my mate’s eyes. The weight of her past amplified my struggle; everyone she recalls is gone, leaving me alone to reassure her. It’s a battle of my words against her fading memories, an agonizing challenge. The doctor’s words echoed in my mind, leaving me with a heavy heart. There was no time frame for this, no definitive end in sight. All I could do was hope that once we returned home, things would improve. But the thought of not being able to sleep beside her, to feel t

    Renna I felt the warmth of his lips, a surge of sparks coursing through my veins. The sensation was exquisite, unlike anything I had ever experienced. It ignited a fire within me, spreading throughout my entire being, making every inch of my body feel hot and alive. The intense feeling travelled downwards, settling between my legs, creating a pulsating desire I had never known before. As I slowly opened my eyes, I heard a faint beeping sound, blending with the gentle sunlight that streamed through the partially closed blinds. The room seemed to come into focus, revealing an incredibly handsome man before me. His strong hands gently cupped my cheeks as he showered my face with kisses. My heart raced, confusion flooding my mind. Who was this man? Where was Ethan? Feeling a surge of panic, I instinctively pulled away from his touch. His eyes widened slightly, a flicker of hurt flashing across his face. “Who are you?” I rasp, my voice hoarse and strained. He slowly withdraws his hands
