I had spent the day fretting about the night. It was going to be hella crazy to convince Reynard. He has proven himself incompetent to bring justice against miscreants like Mitt Pan.After the classes were over, I again waited in the parking lot to speak to Reynard, but when he came out with his friends, I decided to stay behind and wait for the right time.The right time never came because soon he got in the car and left. I had to call an uber and chase after him.Call it desperation, but I wasn’t going to sit idle and let the night arrive. Mitt won’t stay silent for too long.“That’s it, just drop me here,” I told the Uber driver and after paying him, I got out of his car and stood in front of Reynard’s enormous mansion.I have only heard rumors about crazy things happening in his mansion. He lived alone; I heard. His parents passed away when he was only a child and his warrior grandma brought him up. I believed she still lived with him, but her existence was not much discussed by a
After I made his grandma coerce him into helping me, I enjoyed a great afternoon snack with her.“You are a pretty young girl,” she had her hands on my face as she imagined what I look like.“I have heard heroic things about you. You were such a badass,” I smiled as I calculated the difference between her and the type of Luna I was going to be. My entire life was a fib, it seemed. I carried myself like a doll and didn’t allow my mind to think outside the circle of love.“I am happy I have left that impact on young girls like you.” she had taken me to her room to have a snack with me. I could see Reynard standing outside the door, safeguarding his grandma as if I was some sort of witch, ready to consume her.“I wish I have met you sooner.” I was still feeling sad that I wasted many years of my life thinking Daxon is the only reward that I want from the world.“Now help your friend and save her from that asshole.” after patting the back of my hand, she set me free. I got up from beside
“I am sure there is a misunderstanding,” I laughed when walking out of the car to accompany the chief and Reynard, who I passed a deadly glare before stepping near the chief.“Arlene Majestic?” the chief said, even when I am sure Reynard introduced me to him already.“That’d be me,” I let an awkward smile, feeling this intense heat inside my body that wanted me to let out a cry and ask for my mommy.No wonder they had sheltered me from reality. At least not anymore.“He was blackmailing you,” the chief said. Reynard had his arms crossed as he watched me in a bizarre mood. He should be thankful to me for making him appear as a hero before his pack and his grandma’s eyes.“Yes.” I was using short answers to not accidentally say anything stupid.“Here are the files he had on you. Take this day as a lesson and don’t do anything that is illegal.” Thankfully, it wasn’t Reynard who laid me bare. The chief handed me over the files before leaving for his car. As the sirens faded into the air,
“What are you doing here at this time of night?” I defensively stepped back and watched him stare at me without really having any emotions on his face.I was not at all comfortable around him while being in my sister’s body. After last night, I even tried convincing myself that it was nothing and he probably did it out of anger, which was pretty messed up to even think of. But that’s what we do when we are in love.“Where were you?” his proceeding steps were rather threatening than seemed like from someone who was concerned because I was a family now.“I told everyone, perhaps you didn’t listen.” I retorted, stepping back from him and creating a space between us. If anybody told me like a week ago, that I will be talking rudely to Daxon someday, I will call them crazy.I have loved him enough to respect him in his every decision and step of my life. But I wasn’t too sure anymore. He was acting weird and trying way too hard to force himself into Arlene’s life.I had seen his side so fa
“Let go of me,” My struggle went in vain when he pinned my hands to the side. He was much bigger and more powerful than me. No way I could overpower him. I was still fighting him to the best of my ability. I was meek and probably very dull too, but that didn’t change the fact that I cannot try to get him off me.“Ahh! I almost forgot how good you smell, Arlene,” his whisper brought shivers down my spine. I was disgusted with not only him by my own existence, too.“I had to first wait for you and me to turn 18 and then this mating ceremony to pass in order to be in the same bed with you again. I cannot believe I survived these days without your pussy to fuck,” his murmur resulted in me throwing up in my mouth. This side of him was revolting. I cannot believe I gave my pack to the hands of this horny rapist.I can only imagine how Arlene must have felt all this time. The moment she turned 18, he unleashed his devil upon her.All the things he used to say to make me feel special now felt
Somebody has to say something, so I did.“That’s so unfair,” the one who had never objected was finally able to see the wrong. I voiced my opinion whether they like it or not. I had a feeling Daxon would be the one to lodge a protest against any of the rules being removed, but my faith in my uncle was still intact.My objection led to Serena raising her face from her plate and staring at me. She had big tears in her eyes and I saw it. I must shock her to see me voicing against Daxon. I also wanted to tell her I believe in her now. I just didn’t understand why she lied they were in a relationship when it was clearly an abusive situation?“Don’t interrupt when adults are talking.” My mother obviously had to scold me and silence me. This is what we all have been doing to Arlene for a very long time. Every time she would speak up, we would shut her down.“Excuse me,” It mustn’t be easy for her to sit and listen to her rapist make rules that protect scums like him.Wait!Is that it? He is
“Your pack always comes up with the most disgusting things.” I understand his anger, but it is not like he had ever paid attention or intervened. He let us do whatever the fuck we want to do, and the outcome was now upsetting him.“That’s why you need to stick to your roles and---,” I paused when he glared me down, “Look, you are the only one who can make things better. Otherwise, everybody is pretty screwed,”When he didn’t say anything to my comment, I fathomed I should just cut to the chase and be direct with him. I told him enough. Now he needs to take the necessary steps.“So you will cut in tomorrow night, right?” I investigated just to know what he was thinking of doing. His arrival at the meeting can change everything for the better. I would love to see Daxon’s face when Reynard comes in to kill his dreams right before his eyes.“They are having a meeting tomorrow night and nobody informed me?” the look on his face kept darkening with every new information I spat out. I don’t
My head spun around as if I have been on a roller-coaster when a stream of blood ran down my nose. I swear I couldn’t even see anything for the next few seconds. I was lying on the floor, curled up in a ball and my nose between my hands.“Listen you little hoe,” Max grabbed a fist full of my hair and yanked my head just slightly up to be able to whisper in my ear, “If you tried misbehaving with Daxon again, or resisted him, we will do worse than you can ever imagine,” his threat felt like a stab. It was my mate’s doing. He was the one who told them to hurt me?Every time I thought Daxon couldn’t expose himself worse than that, he proved me wrong. Max let go of my hair and kicked me in the ribs. The striking pain went along my body while they jumped over me and walked away.“Argh!” I groaned, unable to get up on my feet again. This new life was painful and agonizing. I was now on a cold floor with my body aching and no hope of healing.My eyes had streams of tears rushing down, recalli
