Renna POVMy fingers were bleeding, my knees were raw and the stench of bleach was burning my nose. It had been three and a half hours since Sage had left me. There were still at least 200 toilets to go on, and the toothbrush she gave me to clean had whittled down to a stub.Every time I saw her, I couldn't help but feel an intense hatred. She was pure evil! I needed to find a way to beat her. The thought of Xavier's lips on mine lingered in my mind, helping me stay focused. The sensation of his lips on mine was perfect; it was like they were made to fit together. Perhaps I had been too hasty. If only I had agreed to be his Luna without question, I would be wrapped up in his warm embrace, kissing and hugging him right now.Instead, I’m drowning in shit and bleach. I can't shake the feeling that Sage set all of this up to spite me. The rest of this place is immaculate, but the state of the bathrooms was beyond anything I could have imagined. That's why she called last night, right? She
Xavier POVAs the feral growl escapes my chest, Sage freezes in fear. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared wide-eyed with fear. As I push her hand off me, I take a step back and pull Renna close to me, feeling her warmth against my body. I could sense the erratic thumping of her heart as I peered down at her. I notice a flicker of hurt cross her beautiful face before she masks it with a soft smile.Did she really think I would choose Sage over her?I was angry when I made the passing comment about Renna being a replacement, but I only did it because I couldn't allow her to refuse me. I breathed in the familiar scent of strawberries, my favourite, and felt myself relax. Strawberries and cream yum.I couldn't help but smirk at the idea of Renna being the perfect dessert.With a scowl on my face, I turn back to Sage. Stepping back, she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes filled with sadness. “Xavie you never minded before. We have always been a little flirty even aft
Renna POVXavier is a mystery to me, and I can't seem to figure him out. He keeps insisting that he wants to marry me and make me luna of his pack. He wants us to share a bed, but his lack of interest in me is getting harder to ignore …Does he not see me as desirable? Does he still have feelings for Sage? I knew they mind linked earlier. I could see right through her sweet and innocent facade. She was up to something. Why doesn't he realise that she's not the person she pretends to be?Climbing off his lap, I feel the warmth of his body and the roughness of his stubble. He gives me a perplexing look, a mix of desire and reluctance. Why is he holding back?“I’m going to go shower,” I add dejectedly as I walk up the stairs. He watches me ascend the stairs with no sign of following. There was something about him that drew me in, but every time he did something like that, tears threatened to spill down my cheeks.Is it because I used Sage’s nickname for him? Perhaps I was being too petty
Renna When I came downstairs the next morning, the house was already bustling with people. The only familiar faces I could spot were Xavier and Cole. Who are all these other people? When I look around, I see an array of colourful fabrics, delicious food, a beautifully decorated cake, and a variety of refreshing drinks. All two women carefully measured Xavier. As I looked at him, my brows arched in surprise, but then my attention was drawn to the table where I saw two rings. As I swallow, I catch Xavier looking up at me with a warm smile and bright eyes that contrast his demeanour from the night before. What changed? I can't help but wonder. “There’s my sleepyhead,” he coos at me As soon as I reach the bottom of the stairs, he rushes towards me, pulling me close and claiming my lips in a passionate kiss. I am surrounded by his warmth and the sound of his heart beating against my chest. Embarrassment flooded through me, and I could feel my face turning red as I stood in front of all
RennaI was back at Throndsen’s for work. Thankfully, Sage decided not to schedule me for cleaning toilets. Instead, she wanted me to waitress in the rooftop bar. They gave me a waistcoat and tiny black skirt to wear with heels higher than any woman should be able to walk in. It felt like I was walking on stilts.There was a large cocktail menu that I was having to learn. A small selection of small plates which made me feel a little better. As long as I didn’t see Sage, the better. I knew she didn’t want me to be with Xavier but why? There had to be more to it than she wanted her ex back. I knew it was possible, and jealousy was a powerful motivator. I just didn’t think that way about it.Leo was one of the other bartenders here. He worked nights to supplement his income while also dedicating his days to training warriors. At 25 years old, he had a tough, rugged exterior with short jet-black hair and piercing grey eyes. Though he was physically strong, his gentle and kind personality
XavierAnger boiled through my veins I couldn’t believe what I was seeing Renna was the other side of the room practically sitting on some other guys knee as his hands roamed all over her body. Why hadn’t she pushed him away, why was she still sitting there. My veins pulsed with jealousy, and I struggled to keep my fists from shaking.She wanted to work is it so she could see him. I notice Ethan and Lia sat at the booth as they all laugh and joke together. Is she playing me … I finally thought we were making progress.“What’s all this?” my voice booms as I march towards the table, she’s at I pull her off of him both my wolf and I are angry at her for playing me for a fool. I can feel her tremble in my grasp as she looks up at me with fear in her eyes, I can even smell it on her. She didn’t expect to get caught. I see them all still laughing as I sling her behind me as I pull the guy that touched her up from his seat. I whisper menacingly in his ear as he looks at me freezing.“I didn’
Renna Anger was pulsating through Xavier, his nostrils flaring and jaw clicking. Perhaps leaving it alone would have been wiser, but the idea of him viewing me as a slut was painful. I have kissed nobody else except for him or Ethan. Let alone gone any further. I clutch at his shirt but I can see he is’s not in the mood today. He untangles himself from me, a snarl leaves his lips as he looks back towards the booth where Ethan, Lia and that guy are all sitting. One of the other waitresses has taken over. “Xavier … please let’s just leave it,” I whisper as I try to turn him back to face me. The only response he gives is a deep, low growl vibrating from his chest. He pries my hands off of him as he goes back towards the table. “Xavier,” I call slightly louder. I know he can hear me; he is just choosing not to. “Xavier!” I hiss again as he starts walking swiftly back to the booth. I grip his hand and he spins towards me. “Renna, he disrespected you and me. He deserves a punishment.” He
RennaAfter my so called ‘stunt’ I pulled at work, Sage has demoted me to cleaning once again, not that I mind as I get to work with Elara this time. We are cleaning the hotels’ suites for guests. There is a surprising number of people that come to stay here, despite this being a Werewolf pack. Some humans venture here as well, for business mainly. Xavier has several enterprises and as Thornden’s is his epicentre for guests, it works out perfectly.Still, the number of bedrooms this place holds. I can see why he uses it for business with the humans there only come for one or two nights max the building houses everything they could need that they then don’t need to venture too far into the pack grounds. Not that it’s an issue, Midnight’s pack is rather civilised there isn’t brawls or wolves roaming the streets, but just in case pack members want to shift, it keeps prying eyes away.Elara, I found, is a few years older than me at 22 but she and Leo are the only real friends I’d say I’ve
