RennaMy 18th birthday, a day I had eagerly anticipated. Mum and Dad were going to throw a huge celebration party. Ethan would be by my side and at the end of the night, once I had my wolf, I could already imagine the electric tingle of marking Ethan as mine. It was going to be perfect.Today, however, everything was different. The vibrant colours of the city were muted, as if it had cast a grey filter over the world. I was grateful for Xavier's thoughtfulness, as he had planned a few surprises, adding an element of mystery to our day. It just wouldn’t bring mum and dad back.He had invited a few people to join us: Cole, Elara, and Leo. I'm guessing he only invited Cole for someone to talk to, maybe hoping for a catch-up session during the pack meeting. I really hoped that wasn't the case, but you never know.For a change, I dressed comfortably in jeans and a crop top. My hair cascaded down my shoulders, lending a relaxed and effortless vibe. To make my blue eyes stand out, I gently a
Renna I navigate through the dimly lit bowling alley, the sound of balls rolling and crashing into pins filling the air in search of Cole. Other pack members filled the place, their laughter and the clinking of bowling balls creating a lively atmosphere. It turned out to be quite difficult to locate him. “Where are you, Cole?” I added under my breath as I continued searching. Eventually, I spot him in one of the dimly lit back corners of the bowling alley, engrossed in a phone conversation. Why has he gone to such extremes to hide who he is talking too? The memory of his subtle smile while he was texting the other day is etched in my mind. His face lights up with a smile as he speaks on the phone. Intrigued, I almost call him back, my hand hovering in the air, but ultimately, I decide against it. I'm not sure why, but there's something unsettling about the way he stands hunched over and speaks in a barely audible voice. But Cole has been so playful and carefree all night, has somet
XavierI drove us home, my foot heavy on the gas pedal, eager to get back before it got too late for Ren's sleep before her first shift. I couldn't wait to have her all to myself, just the two of us. It was her birthday, so I was determined to go above and beyond to make it unforgettable.However, it seemed she wasn’t in the mood to be told what to do! In fact, she deliberately threw a tantrum as I dragged her to the car, unwilling to leave her friends behind. With Cole's help, she quickly changed her mind and decided against causing any more trouble.Well, not screaming and shouting, she was sat next to me with her arms folded seething. I placed my hand on her knee, to which she just tugged it away. In an effort to keep my composure, I pressed my lips together, refusing to let it bother me. I just had to wait a few hours and then she would realise she is my mate.Although I doubt that will change her stubborn pig headedness at times, like now. “Ren, come on it’s your first shift and
RennaI didn’t understand Xavier but as I tossed and turned trying to sleep; I found my body crave his touch. It soothed the restless feeling that was growing inside of me. His skin felt like a bomb and before I knew it, I was desperately trying to sprawl my body against his.Sleep didn’t come easily either. It wasn’t because it was so early; I felt exhausted as soon as I close my eyes, I’d feel a chill and try to edge closer to the fire or I would feel sweat coat my skin and then chuck off the covers. It was horrible. All I wanted was sleep. My eyes felt heavy I just wanted to cry … I did a little. My emotions felt all over the place, and I felt bad for snapping at Xavier.“I’m sorry,” I mumbled into his chest as I shivered, desperately trying to press my body against his so I could absorb his body heat. He was so nice I didn’t understand it, he just held me close, kissing my shoulder or forehead whilst I groaned, feeling flashes of heat fill my body.“It’s just the fever,” he whispe
Renna The following night replays in my mind, each detail etched vividly in my memory. The realisation hit me like a ton of bricks - Xavier was my mate. As I pulled him closer to me, I could feel the warmth of his body against mine. The feel of his hands on my body he wouldn’t give in. I knew he wanted me I could feel it, it felt so good and I wanted him. The bond called for it. Every cell in my body wanted to merge with him. As much as I wanted to breathe. I ground my hips against him, feeling his shaft push between my folds. This is the most I had ever done with a boy, but it wasn’t enough. I needed more. I needed to feel him; I didn’t want to beg but I felt close to it. How is he holding back? He is an alpha. He must have wanted me all this time. Why is he changing his mind? Does he not want me for a mate? My teeth elongated, I wanted to mark him. Claim him and mine. I still didn’t trust Sage, but if we were mated and marked that would be it, our bond would be complete! That wa
RennaFinally, I slipped into the dress and felt the smooth fabric against my skin. It was the exact one mum and I had picked out, with its unique charm and sentimental value. It felt as if her presence lingered beside me. I felt confident and elegant in the sweetheart strapless fitted dress that perfectly accentuated my curves.The mermaid skirt, made of tulle, floated around me from the knee, creating an ethereal effect. Silver leaves, flowers, and patterns adorned the sheer fabric of the dress, creating an elegant design. Pearls and diamante adorned the piece, adding a touch of sparkle.With silver satin heels, I gained some extra height and a touch of glamour. I left my neck bare, exposing the freckles that dotted my collarbone. Ready for my mate mark to adorn the base of my neck.When I looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe the transformation I saw in the woman looking back at me. My reflection in the mirror revealed a striking resemblance to my mother. As I felt my eyes sting
Xavier Finally, the day had arrived - it was my mating ceremony, and excitement coursed through my veins. The time had come, and I couldn't believe I was finally standing beside my true mate, making this day even more memorable. I was finally going to mark her, solidifying my claim over her. I was adjusting my suit, the sharp scent of freshly dry-cleaned fabric filling the air, making sure I was ready for this. I understood the importance of these days to women, and I didn't want to disappoint my mate. “Look pretty sharp, Xavier,” Cole says as I turn to face him. Just like me, he's dressed in one of those monkey suits. I shoot him a side glare, and he responds with a chuckle, handing me a beer. As we clink glasses and take a seat, I absentmindedly run my hands through my hair. “So, the big day is finally here, a free man for only a matter of hours,” Cole teases as I smirk. No one knows we are fated mates yet. I can’t decide if I should tell him after it’s rare to have a second chanc
Renna I walked down from the room, the fabric of my dress flowing gracefully behind me. The nerves welled up in my stomach, causing a fluttering sensation like a swarm of butterflies. I tried to not let it get to me or fall over in my heels as I grabbed the banister as I walked down the stairs. My heart was racing so fast that I was sure everyone around me could hear it. I knew Leo and Elara would be there in the crowd for me to have a friendly face, which made me feel better. Then we had everyone else I knew who would be there. I took a moment at the bottom of the stairs to suck in a deep breath. Grandma was right I was made for this. I squared my shoulders and tilted my chin up as I walked out the door. The music played as I began walking down the aisle. I felt all the eyes on me. Some women here had smiles, while others had angry faces. I guess some of them were disappointed that I had claimed their alpha. I should have expected that, it wouldn't have been a problem in my hometo
