Renee’s P.O.V It has been forty-eight hours since Louis was admitted to the hospital. His skin had reacted badly to that dangerous mixture and his fast healing abilities stood no chance against the damage caused to his skin. I felt fulfilled and this adrenaline rush of excitement inside of me. If I could do that all over again, I would surely do that as long as it meant seeing that horrible expression on his face. Seeing him in pain and seeing him shed tears was the best thing that has ever happened to me. While his brothers checked up on him at the hospital, I didn't. If I did, I would probably burst into laughter, and taunt him which might make him figure out that I was the one behind what had happened. The image of that evil smirk of his as he forced me deep into the water, flashed through my mind and with the way my anger resurfaced, it felt like what I had done to get back at him wasn't enough. The urge to harm him further flashed through my mind, but maybe I nee
Renee’s P.O.V I had never felt so much rage all at once as my eyes lingered on Louis, who sat at the edge of the pool, splashing water at Lennox with his legs. A scoff of disbelief escaped me. Louis had almost killed me. He had an evil smile on his face when we were down the pool while water rushed into my ears. At that horrific moment, he seemed like the sea monster himself, and now he was laughing over it, acting like I didn't almost lose my life a few minutes ago. My dampened hair clung to my face and my anger intensified when I saw the way Lennox laughed, glancing at me before fixing his eyes back on Louis. Honestly, I expected nothing less from Lennox. I already knew that his act of kindness was nothing but a ruse. Levi took me aback when he wrapped a blanket around me and handed a cup of warm coffee to me. “How do you feel,” He said, sitting right in front of me, blocking my view of Lennox and Louis. I tried to blink back the tears that formed in my eyes bec
Levi No matter how much I tried, I couldn't seem to get rid of that image of Renee wearing Lennox’s shirt that was now ingrained in my memory. What was wrong with me and why the hell was I getting worked up over what happened at breakfast? At the same time, I couldn't help but notice this silent animosity from Renee to me—probably stemming from the fact that I had abandoned her when I sneaked her into Nerissa’s home. Then, the situation wasn't favorable… Honestly, I had no excuse to give. That was just shitty of me. I should probably apologize to her. Louis’s sharp voice broke through my train of thoughts and I couldn't help but notice that he had been super hyper last night. Or could it be because this was his best time of the year? Summer. He dived into the pool, causing a huge splash while my eyes darted to Lennox who floated on the pear-shaped inflatable, totally unperturbed as he had his AirPods plugged in, wearing black sunglasses and… He removed his
Renee There was this intense throbbing in my head when my eyes fluttered open. A groan escaped me, my mind blank for a moment but when the memories of last night came rushing in, I jolted upright immediately. I swiveled my head around the entire room and that was when it dawned on me that I was in Lennox’s room. How? I slid away from the bed, pushing the duvet aside because the last time I checked, we were in the car and… Oh, shit! The last thing I could remember was me collapsing on his shoulders as an orgasm seared through me. He had fucked me into oblivion and now, I was in his room? This was embarrassing, and it didn’t help that I was sore. I ran a hand through my hair and memories about how I had screamed his name, crying and moaning at the same time flashed through my mind. “You truly have no shame, Renee” I chastised myself, gnawing on my fingers. Aria taunted. “You said you hated him” I snapped at her because the last thing I wanted was to listen to an
Renee’s P.O.V My eyes squeezed shut, my cheeks flushing red in embarrassment as he read my goals that he managed to have stumbled on. At that moment, regret hit me because why in the world did I have to write that down? Maybe it was because it happened in one of my crash-out moments. I shook my head, swiveling my eyes around as my fear intensified. It wasn't because I was scared that he had seen the horrible things that I had written about him and his brothers. It was because we were far into the woods, and he had driven me to the edge of a cliff. The sound of waves crashing in the distance sent a shiver skating down my spine and knowing the kind of person Lennox was, he had a hidden agenda and that was the reason he had his car parked at the edge of the cliff. He knew how to drive me insane and definitely, straight into the ocean. My fingers curled around my skirt and my breath caught in my throat. “Lennox, there is an ocean beneath the cliff” He finally tore his
Lennox Love— That word was too intense and pure for the depraved monster that I was. I was turning into this version of myself that I hated because of a woman and not just any woman, Renee Smith. I did the things that I have never done for anyone, like making sure that she was fed. Making sure that she slept well and worse, the images of her filled my head. Never in my life have I felt something intense for someone at once. She was starting to turn into the very bane of my existence and that was the last thing that I wanted. It was supposed to be just fun with her but now, I wanted to see every version of her. I hated to admit it but I wanted her. I should have never marked her. If I had known that laying a claim on her was going to drive me crazy, I would have never done that. I ran a hand through my hair, splashing water on my face as my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was probably Louis’s drunk ass who wouldn't stop asking about where Renee was. According
Renee’s P.O.V Do I shift and attack the werewolves who have more experience than me? Or, do I run? I chose the latter because, in the next few seconds, I took to my heels and ran as far as my legs could carry. The last thing that I wanted to do right now was give in to Aria who kept growling inside of me as if she could snap them into pieces. The last thing I wanted was to test my strength with them. The Rogue King must have sent them. This man was adamant about killing me because of what the Alpha Devils had done. A scream rippled from my throat as I sprinted down the dark hallway and the heavy thud of the beast's paws grew louder behind me. Not only did it send a shiver down my spine, it heightened my fear. I could feel them closing in on me. It felt like any moment from now, they would grab me by the neck and hurl me against the wall. Their growls resounded through my ears, causing tears to pool in my eyes. Aria clawed at my skin, growling for me to set he
Renee’s P.O.V A lot happened during the past week and so much unraveled quickly that I couldn't even wrap my head around it. I didn't know how Lennox found out the truth about Ms. Kimberly and Landon, but a disciplinary committee was set up for the two of them. Landon was given a week’s suspension while Ms. Kimberly was fired, and she had her teaching license revoked. That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was that Nerissa’s mum made sure that she was sent out of the pack, alongside her family. They were now treated as outcasts. I heaved an exasperated, dropping the sculpting wire as soon as my stomach growled. I was starving, but there was nothing to eat since it was already late at night, and I was the only one staying back in school to work on a group project that the group members dumped on me. I had nothing to eat except for an apple that I had taken when coming to school this morning. My stomach growled again as I untied the straps of my work apron a
Renee’s P.O.V I couldn't believe that he followed me. Did he see me? Was that the reason he wouldn't allow me to breathe? Firstly, he had caught me eavesdropping on his conversation with the Luna and now, there was a high chance that he could have seen me. What have I done to myself? I forced out a smile, sitting on the bleacher seat while he sat right next to me. Anxiety clawed at the back of my neck like icy fingers and the longer he sat with me in silence, I was waiting for him to drop the bombshell. For him to tell me that he had seen me. I hated the fact that I kept finding myself in embarrassing situations like this with Landon. It was crazy. Clearing my throat in a bid to break the silence between us, I said. “You didn't have to follow me. I told you that I was fine” My voice was barely above a whisper. He chuckled in a way that grated on my nerves. “It is a two-way thing. I followed you and I didn't at the same time. It just happened that we managed to w
