"No concert?" Kyle asked, a bit surprised. He was the party animal, so it was no surprise. "What do you think I came all this way for?" He said it like he was joking, but the look in his eyes screamed murder. Oh yes, Kyle was pissed beyond whatever could make him

pissed.

He and Zeke's moods usually turn on and off like a tap.

Renee's words had probably struck a nerve, so it was clear that their irritated moods were on full display.

"Why do you sound pissed? Were you not excited about strangling her earlier?" I frowned, feeling a bit stiff at my neck. I fainted too hard, I know.

"Shut your mouth, brawn." Kyle snapped. For some reason, it wasn't as painful as before. It wasn't bullying time any longer.

"Get in the car, Renee. You are now our official ticket for safety, and you will be going with us." Zeke declared with a possessive edge.

Renee didn't seem taken aback by the request. "I can't leave my car behind, or it would be suspicious. I'll lead."

I glanced at Renees car, a reminder that there was much I didn't know about her. I had pushed her away repeatedly, and now, seeing her in a new light, I couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. It wasn't a regret for not getting close to her. It was regret for not leaving with her. I may have had a better life here or something.

That was a ridiculous thought because it would never have worked out.

"You have a car," I commented

Renee smiled. "You would know I have money and a car if we were closer."

I scoffed at her statement, feeling the weight of missed opportunities. "Oh, I have always known you aren't ordinary, Renee. I just wasn't expecting this. It means you know more about technology than me

She merely nodded, seemingly eager to share something with me.

"Ride with me?" She offered, but her voice was tinged with uncertainty. Did she need permission from the twins or something?

I turned to meet the boys waiting for me to get in the car. I didn't know them to be this possessive, but I knew when they told me to get in the car, I had to obey. I don't want thèm fighting over me with Renee. I feel like there are so many things I have to discuss with her. Like why she lied to me in the first place, her life here, and whatever misconception I have about this pack.

It was strange to see that the blood moon pack wasn't what I had imagined in my head. I expected the monsters to be everywhere in the pack, death stinking the air, and a lot of dangerous things. I even expected an expanse of forest.

There was nothing like that here. It was all just one big empty space on the road leading to the unknown. Silence filled the air as I stood there, stupidly caught between the searing gazes of the twins, Kyle and Zeke. They both radiated something I couldn't describe that left me breathless. Yet this was important for me. I needed alone time with Renee to know what to expect from the people in her pack

I grinned at Zeke. "I need to ride with her."

"She isn't to be trusted, Naya. She needs to prove herself by taking it to the wolf king himself." Zeke said the last part like it was a bitter taste in his mouth. It was rather expected because the man f*****g killed his own father. His father wasn't exactly nice to him, but who was complaining?

The twins were on a vengeful mission, not without logic but with an intent to kill, and they would dispose of anyone who stood in the way of getting their revenge.

"Besides, she lied to you." Kyle's reply was adamant. He surely did not respect Renée like before, and he made it clear to her.

"You have lied to me countless times." I retorted. He was acting like a jerk now.

"But we have also protected you." Zeke's words were swift and heavy with anger. It was as if they had the perfect comeback for everything.

"She protected me from the both of you." I emphasized this so that they would remember the stupid scentless spray that Kyle hid in his room. Oh, the things I had to do to escape these big guys... I will never forget. "You have nothing else to say. You don't own me. I will ride with Naya."

"Did you just say that we don't own you?" Both of them spoke at the same time. Somehow what I said ticked them off, and they both began to advance towards me.

What the...

From behind me, Renee took five steps back. I didn't count;

I just knew it was five steps because she was supposed to be by my side. I bet she has seen Zeke's power and can no longer confront him. The Renee I knew was stronger than me

Who was rather melting as two hot guys approached me like they owned me.

Yeah, like they owned me.

I gulped as Kyle and Zeke closed in on me with purposeful strides. Their intense gazes sent shivers down my spine.

Not only was there tension between us, but I could describe it.

It was desire. That was when I knew that this moment could go in any direction. It could go in the one direction that we were all thinking, which was them f*****g me over the hood of Renée's car, and at the end, I would never show my face to Renee again. Or the second direction in which they let me ride with Renee. Either I humiliate myself or I make a stand.

Taking a deep breath, I looked squarely at the twins. "You might have protected me, and I appreciate that, but you don't own me," I said firmly; my voice was surprisingly steady despite my beating heart. "I've made my choice. I'm riding with Renee." They still go to me with identical smirks, and flashes of two nights ago ran through my mind. Seriously? Not now.

Not with Renee by my side or her getting to see how much of a slut was.

This time, the silence that followed felt like an eternity. The twins exchanged glances. I could see their expressions on full display on their faces. Frustration came first, then disbelief, and then something more scary. It was as if a battle of wills was taking place right before Naya's eyes.

I knew they were communicating with their wolves by showing that much emotion on their faces. I thought I saw Shadow for a second. If they kept on behaving like this, they might make Renée think that I was their mate.

Only my mates behaved like I was entering the lion's den. I was actually

Finally, Kyle broke the silence. His voice was low and seductive. "Are you sure about that, Naya? You know, once you ride with her, there's no turning back."

They were making this hard for me now. It was tempting not to have their scents with me to reassure me of their protection. I matched his silly gaze, which seemed to be getting to me. "I'm sure," I replied, making sure my voice was unwavering. "I chose Renee." After a while, I added

"Please."

The word "please" hung in the air. It was a plea for understanding. What was the worst Renée could do? Take me for slaughter?

"Fine. Lead the way." Zeke ordered, and they both entered the car smoothly while I joined Renee in hers.

She immediately started the engine. "If I didn't know better, Id say that you are their mate."

I sighed. "But I am not. It's infuriating when they do this.

They know that I am an omega, so it's easier for them to use their alpha power on me to render me useless."

Renee sniffled as she passed the boys, who had sour looks on their faces. "Lucky you."

"Yeah, lucky me." I deadpanned. "You have to tell me everything, Renée."

"You haven't been seen in school for some days now. A lot hasn't happened."

"I haven't been in school because I am part of the Storm's family." I looked out of the window. It was still empty, with a wide span of road and heat. "This place is so empty."

Renee nodded, tapping on the steering wheel. "You should see the inside."

"I have always known you didn't belong in our school. Look at your hair!" I pointed at her pink pixie cut. "It isn't natural like the rest of ours."

"I dyed it pink." Renee simply replied. She wasn't really excited, and I wasn't either. "I didn't see you in school, and then I put two and two together when I heard Zeke become the official Alpha while his twin supported him from behind."

I nodded. "You have been paying attention. It must be hard not seeing me in school."

Renee snorted. "Hard? We aren't even close friends."

I slapped her hands playfully. "I bet I am a better friend for you to come all the way to Wolf Cove to school."

It didn't amuse Renee. "You are right."

It was then that I realized something. "You were an outcast at your school."

It took a while, but she eventually nodded.
