Louis’s P.O.VMy blood boiled and nothing made sense in that moment except the sound of blood that rushed in my ears. My eyes were a haze of red as I clutched the pencil and it was a wonder that I hadn't crushed it yet as the sound of pencil scraping against paper cracked through the eerily still room.With every line that slashed across the page, Renee’s horrible words resounded through my head, fueling the storm that brewed within me.The weight of her words pressed harder on my chest. How could she say such words to me?We risked our lives to save her. Picked a fight with our father because he was trying to force a date down our throats…As soon as I opened my eyes, the name that slipped from my mouth was ‘Renee’. Then she hurled the bracelet that we had given to her like it meant nothing despite knowing how important it was.She has crossed all lines and would suffer the consequences of her actions. “Bullshit!” I cussed. Levi mentioned that he was going to get to the root of al
Renee’s P.O.VWords were not enough to explain the relief that flooded through me when Erin told me that she saw the triplets . It was sad that my journey with them had to end here and now, and I needed to stop worrying about them. Even though my heart ached to know if they had asked about me, I refrained from asking Erin because it was better not to know. Since their dad mentioned that they would be engaged, it was time to step aside. Plus, I was the reason they were always getting into trouble and they almost lost their lives because of me so it was better to stay away from them. “You would be fine, Renee” I muttered to myself while exhaling sharply. It was another new day in school and Landon still put me on the edge. Landon came out of his black Porsche Taycan, offering me a smile that I didn't even bother to return. Since he had been giving me these weird vibes, I have been acting carefully around him.Before going to bed the last time, I made sure to push both the couch and
LeviMy gaze swept over the classmates who crowded the room to Landon, who leaned against the wall, staring at his phone’s screen. That bastard being here was the least of my problems because, in the actual sense, where was Renee? When I had regained consciousness, I had expected her to be here by my side or by my brothers but she was nowhere to be found, and worse, my dad refused to say anything about her or where she was. All he did was infuriate me when he handed someone photographs of random girls for me to choose to go on a blind date with—the pictures that were now trashed in the bin. He had done the same with Lennox and Louis, who ended up yelling at him. Talk of the devil, Lennox and Louis came into the room, exchanging fleeting glances with one another, obviously surprised by the classmates who came to check up on us. Lennox seemed completely horrified, and he squinted his eyes at them suspiciously. “What are you guys doing here?”Louis cast a glance at me, mouthing. “What
Renee’s P.O.V The huge glass doors of the school building opened and the ominous air that swirled around me became more intense when the silence died and as if on cue, everyone turned— their eyes on me— as anxiety clawed at the back of my neck. I almost faltered in my steps while I ducked my head, slipping a loose strand of hair behind my ear as their murmur filtered down my ears. “I have always known that Renee was bad luck,” “I heard that she made a deal with the Rogue King, something that had to do with getting rid of them,” “After everything they did for her, how could she do that to them?” “Someone said that she lured the triplets out and made sure that they were attacked by multiple Rogues. They said that she has been trying to get rid of them since they were young and now was the perfect chance,” “She is truly evil,” Every word that left their mouth made my stomach tie a knot and my fingers slowly clenched into fists as different thoughts coursed through my mind. Who co
Renee’s P.O.VFor the second time, Landon had cried and worse, he fell on his knees, pleading with me not to leave, and how he didn't know what had happened. He claimed he had no control over it and promised to do better.He also promised not to stay closer to me and take ten steps away from me. My mind was conflicted, all I knew was that I wanted to leave here as fast as possible and return to the triplets irrespective of the odds.I locked the door behind me, leaning against it as my chest heaved up and down and tears pressed the back of my eyelids. Landon kept pounding on my door, pleading with me. “Don't leave me, Renee, you are the only friend that I have here. What happened was natural and wasn't intentional. You know I would never make you feel uncomfortable,”Lies.This wasn't the first time and why did it feel like whatever happened in the kitchen was not going to be the last time. My eyes closed shut as I took in a deep breath. “I will see you tomorrow morning, Landon. Plea
ReneeNo matter how much I tried, my mind kept replaying that gory scene at the amusement park, and most importantly, the way Alpha Raymond had treated me. It wasn't news that he didn't like me but I didn't know that his dislike for me ran deeper than I had ever imagined.I tossed my head back, standing at the grand foyer of Landon’s penthouse as water dripped from my hair to the tiled floor. Heaving an exasperated sigh, my eyes coasted from my suitcases near the stairs to the parcel that I clutched to my chest— The Alpha Devil's Birthday Gift. Just before I left the mansion with Landon, the delivery man had brought the parcel and now, I couldn't give it to them.I didn't even know if they were ever going to wake up.Tears burned the back of my eyes as the sound of footsteps descending the tears filled my ears. Landon. I dashed away the stray tears with my thumb, forcing out a smile before he could appear in view and see the cracks in me. It was enough that I had already burdened hi
