Renna POVMy head was spinning as I tried to focus. There was a dull ache coming from my legs and arms, for a moment I just wanted to lie here, what was the point anyway. My grandma was okay, she was doing well, I had fulfilled my promise to my mum. I saw Xavier crouch down his knees appearing in my view before he pushed back a few strands of my hair off of my face. He was looking at me with such concern as I just blinked looking at him. I was glad he found me, I didn’t exactly have anywhere else to go after all but I still didn’t like feeling bought and paid for. My throat cracked as I spoke, “I will pay you back,” he just smiled at me stroking my hair. It was soothing but I still didn’t want to give in. I scrambled up to a sitting position Xavier helping to steady me as I let out a ragged breath. Another wave came over me making me want to be sick. “You don’t need to pay me back,” he offers soothingly why he is being so nice, I’m sure he said the next time we meet he wouldn’t act
Renna POV Xavier dropped us off at the house, he pulled me forcefully from the car dragging me up the stairs to the bedroom. My heart pounded in my chest. No, he wouldn’t … I know everyone says he is cruel but he’s not going to rape me right. He let out a loud growl as we turned the corner, my hands were sweating as he kicked the door open before throwing me on the bed. He stood over me, his eyes flashing to his wolf as he leant down gripping my jaw tightly, “Behave” he growled out before he stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him. I jumped up running to the door as I heard the click of the lock as he turned the key. “Xavier … you can’t lock me in here!” I demanded as I banged on the door. He didn’t answer as I slumped back against the door. Why would I marry him after he treats me like this! No wonder Sage left him. He is cruel and mean! The first chance I get I’m going to leave his sorry ass and get out of here!He then pretty much left me alone all day as I saw the
Xavier POV “Calm down, beautiful,” I cooed as she snuggled in closer to my chest, her jagged breathing and racing heart, my brows furrowed together. Sage and I had remained close even after the rejection. She was like family to me. Perhaps they just needed to meet each other … Sage loves this pack she would want to bond with her Luna. I kiss the top of her head; I’d felt guilty all night about how I had treated her earlier. She didn’t have her wolf yet, but it angered me she wanted someone else. I’d only ever treated her like the queen she was. What did I have to do to prove to her I loved her? It was soon, but she would understand eventually. I pulled her back, looking deep into her eyes; she was still young, lost so much, my jaw clenched. I needed to do better. Dragging her down the street and locking her in our bedroom was hardly the best thing to do … I just couldn’t have her leave me. I needed to be close to her and although she reacted to me, I could see how conflicted she fel
RennaWaking up, I felt warm, refreshed, having slept better than I had in weeks. I snuggled deep into my pillow, unwilling to get out of bed just yet. I was too cosy. Light tingles traced my skin, leaving a pleasant sensation flits through me.Hearing a groan as something prodded my lower back, I turned my heard to see Xavier tucked up beside me. I let out a soft smile. I loved his hugs, but I'll never tell him why. His rich masculine scent hung in the air, a smell I was beginning to love. I would never tell him this, i’m sure his alpha ego is big enough.I remember last night seeing how he threw me on the bed, a reminder of how much stronger he was than me. If he meant to hurt me, he would have done it already. His hand traced my stomach and thigh as my heart did a little flip. Ethan never made me feel like this, yet I loved him. How did a complete stranger make me feel like home?He shuffled in his sleep, pulling me closer as he buried his face in my neck. I recognized the jab in m
Renna POVSage gave me a sickly sweet smile as she gave me a bone-crushing handshake. I bit my lip to stop from screaming before she flickered her hair before turning back to Xavier. “Xavie is this my replacement?” she asks flirtatiously, battering her long lashes at him.He simply chucked shaking his head. “No, she’s irreplaceable,” he gives me a wink, making Sage pout. My heart does another little flutter as a blush coats my cheeks.“I thought I was irreplaceable,“ she muses, looking up at him and just as he is about to reply, she gives him a cheeky wink before she giggles erratically. He chuckles as well as the mood lifts.She turns to me, placing her hand once more on Xavier’s chest as she gives me a look. “The stories I could tell you about Xavie here, I can see we are going to be great friends,” she beams at me, but that dangerous glint still lingers in her eyes.“Show her the ropes and what she needs to do,” Xavier informs her as she nods again, tossing her hair before she lets
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
