Renee closed the door with a loud thud, turning back to us, she gave a shaky smile. "I can't believe you guys are here in flesh and blood, but I have to pinch myself all over and over again. Please let this not be a mistake." She gave me a pleading look which had me turning to the twins. They were the ones who called the shots here.

"No harm will come to your family." Zeke simply said.

"You

didn't mention anything about your affiliation to your Alpha.

"And make you trust me less? No." She took a seat in the bed which made me eye her room. It wasn't like mine in every sense. It was decorated in Renée's style.

She even had a big bed! I slowly walked towards the bed.

"Your bed is nice." I patted the pink sheets. It seemed like Renee loved pink so much that she had to dye her hair pink. Compared to my dull sheets and almost hard bed, hers was better. I could lay down here all day.

Renee hummed in response to my compliments. "Look, I didn't tell you guys because it would only make me seem like a traitor. Naya here knows why I came to your school. I feel so terrible right now because my parents are slaves under his rule."

"Are you sure that they won't tell on us?" I was almost afraid. I needed to rest before being dragged about like a doll

"We are counting on that" Kyle muttered. "Can we use your bathroom and refresh ourselves? I have a feeling your parents or if not your parents the others who watched us come in here are calling in the warriors."

I rolled on her bed. "Do you have something for us? I mean to eat." My stomach growled a bit and Zeke flashed me a glare. He was offended for no reason.

"A door to your right." She pointed at a hall. Like I said, her room was big, just not as big as the twins. "As for you my dear friend, my mother is making pork. I could perceive it miles away." At the puzzled look on my face, she added. "Don't worry, they won't poison you. They are people too, you know."

"Not just welcoming people. Please, leave the room, Renee.

We need to freshen up."

She scoffed in annoyance. Of course I'd be annoyed if I was shooed out of my room. "Just don't touch anything that isn't yours. Naya, come with me." She gave me a skeptical look that asked the question if I wanted to stay with two seductive Alphas in a room. If I said yes, I would confirm what she was saying earlier. If I declined, Zeke would say I defiled his orders in an unknown land.

Although he hasn't told me not to follow her yet.

"She says with me."

Oh s**t. From the distance, you could hear Kyle singing. I gave him a nervous smile. "Kyle has made himself home, hasn't he?"

Both of them weren't looking at me. I guess Zeke wasn't using his Alpha powers since she could look at him right onto the eyes now.

It did not last as she turned away. "Fine. I know I can't compete with you but it should be Naya's choice too."

I thought the attention was longer on me before. "H-thought this was between the both of you. Why am I in this discussion again?" I knew that was the dumbest thing to say, but I couldn't make up a coherent sentence without sounding like a fool. Renee sighed, her frustration impenetrable as she glanced back and forth between Zeke and me. She gave me a look,

"pick a side." But it was really a rock and a head place she was asking me to choose between. I haven't really obeyed Zeke since my time here.

It was my way of punishing him

for bringing me here without my will... or maybe it was my will, but I was drunk! One night of silliness out me in this.

Because I couldn't have agreed to come on this death journey even if Renee was going to be here.

The room seemed smaller and held its breath, waiting for a resolution. I realized that it was time to speak up and end this awkward standoff. I took a deep breath as my next statement would determine our relationship.

"I'll stay with Zeke and Kyle for now," I finally said, trying to defuse the tension. "But Renee, we need to talk later. I want to understand everything." It was just all so confusing to hear her say that her parents won't poison me.

Zeke nodded in agreement, his expression softening. He had a proud look even. Was that a smirk? "We'll catch up, Renee. But right now, we need to freshen up and be cautious."

Renee seemed a bit disappointed by my decision but also understanding. She gave me a small smile. "Alright, I'll let you guys get settled. Use the bathroom down the hall, and I'll check on the food. We can continue our conversation over dinner" As she spoke Kyle came out of the bathroom, whistling. "Someone already made himself home." Then she left me to the wolves. Literally.

Immediately Renee left the room, I turned to Kyle, who had stopped whistling and was now looking more serious. "Her shower was nice. But we don't have to be really comfortable."

"We have to be careful here," Zeke warned. "This is an unfamiliar territory, and Renee's pack has a different set of rules."

"The Blood Moon pack." I chipped in, rolling my eyes.

Ignoring my statement, Kyle chimed in, "And we need to figure out what's going on with Alpha's intentions. We can't let our guard down. You especially." He pointed at me.

I nodded in agreement, feeling a weight of responsibility settling on my shoulders. He was trying to tell me to be careful with Renee. "I know, but let's not jump to conclusions. We need information first. And Renee might be our best source. I had a good talk with her and she's cool."

"You are a bad judge of character." Zeke dismissed me.

"I knew when Kyle did what he did." I deadpanned angrily.

"Oh, please. That was ages ago." He dropped his towel without shame

I narrowed my eyes on him, surprised the discussion was going this way, yet I couldn't stop it and neither could I stop my eyes from looking down at his well endowed c**k. "I should take a picture of that and post it on the school walls. You would like that, wouldn't you?"

He took a step to me to which I involuntarily hid behind Zeke. "You look like you'd want a taste."

I cleared my throat. "I should go and take my bath. It has been a long ride."

I quickly made my way to the bathroom and freshened up.

Zeke went after. It was strange to be in a different pack's territory, but there was an air of familiarity too. Probably the home of Renée made it seem so as the scents of ribs and pork filled the house. . They were really interested in

making us feel welcome, right? It made me a bit unsettled.

The customs and scents were different, but the essence of a wolf's life remained the same. You could see fur rugs here and there. I bet they had a den here too for the full moons.

Once we were done, Renee called us to the dining area. Her family seemed friendly, though I could sense their unease around Zeke and Kyle. They didn't reveal the reason why they were here, so.

We sat down to eat, and the aroma of Renée's moms food filled the room.

"Thank you for the meal." The food was delicious, and I couldn't help but appreciate the gesture. It's been a long time since I was outside of the manor.

As we ate, Renee chose to explain more about our situation to her parents. I had a feeling she wasn't going to tell them the whole truth. "I had organized a concert without you guys knowing and planned to invite friends from my school."

I widened my eyes. Was she about to tell her parents of her secret?

"Renee, what are you talking about?" Her father began.

"Both of you have forgotten about my birthday, right?" She sounded really sound, but knowing Renee this could be her tactics to get out of the situation unscathed too.

"Your birthday?" Her mother gasped. "Oh dear, I have been too busy with the boutique and your father here... we are sorry."

"That's why I had to invite people. Well, they heard about my party and came. But it was only them that came for me. They are my true friends."

"Oh, for the love of the goddess.." her father began to protest when Renée's mom gave him a nudge.

"It's alright. We are fine with them being here even if they are from another pack. However, we can't stop the inspection tonight. You know what that means." Her father said instead.

"I understand. What I am saying is, Don't allow another person to do it. Let it be the inspectors so that they can be taken to the Alpha." Renee said gently. Her way seemed to be working
