His secrets
RENEE'S POV
"Safety precautions? Dragging us in here due to a safety precaution?" Renee questioned. "Okay, thats it. What the fuck is going on? I ignored the weird shit for way too long."
"Weird? Whats weird?" I tried to crack a smile to clear the air.
"What? Are you blind to the weird shit in here?" Renee questioned.
"I see nothing weird. Renee?" Come on Keira, speak. Renee looked away, refusing to involve herself with the matter. I guess she was tired of hiding the secret.
"Renee, look." I ran my hand across my face. "There is something about....this...family."
"Drug cartel?"
"Drug cartel?" Renee and I questioned at the same time.
"Yeah. Secrets, sneaking around, mysterious drug shit going on."
"No honey." Renee laughed. "Renee, just tell the girl." "Tell me what?"
"Just...a little secret." I down played it.
"Little?" Renee commented. "I dont think you considered it little when you found out." "Found out what?" Renee pushed.
"Tell her. She dont want to find out like you did."
TELL ME WHAT?" "FINE DAMMIT. They are fucking w-"
The bedroom door opened. Feeling as though I dodged a bullet, I greeted Bane with a smile of relief.
"Renee, Bane's office, now." "Fine. Protect these two."
"Protect?" Renee asked.
Ignoring Renees's question, Keira and Bane continued to speak until Kiera left, leaving Bane to watch over us.
"Bane?" I wanted to know what was going on.
"Sorry." Bane's sudden apology informed me that he was unable and ordered by his Alpha not to tell me much. He leaned back against the door and crossed his arms. "Orders."
"Orders?" Renee questioned. "Okay, someone have five seconds to tell me or Im leaving."
I knew she would make word on her threat and leave, or at least try before Bane would have to use force to keep her here.
"Renee." I sort of wanted the conversation to just go away right now.
"NO!" She snapped. "Tell me." It felt as though my brain was going to explode right now. Between the sudden lock down around here and Renee wanting to know everything, I was mentally going crazy.
A male's chuckle echoed around the room. Interested in his amusement, Renee and I looked to Bane.
"Whats so funny?" Renee squinted at Bane. Well, this isn't good....
RENEE'S POV
I didn't feel hurt about everyone else keeping something from me, but Renee was a different story. I expected her to tell me any and everything. Did our friendship change that much when she moved here? Is she protecting them from something?
Yeah, I stick by the drug cartel assumption. The sneaking out, the whispers, the secret meetings, shit drug lords do.
And why the fuck am I locked in here with Renee and Bane? Safety precautions?
I know there is some kind of illegal shit going on here.
Anger seemed to be flowing through me the more Renee ignored my questions. What is she hiding? What made matters worse was now this guy Bane was
"HELLO?" Renee mouthed laughing. I hated it. Its like he knew something that I didn't and I didn't like that.
"And whats so funny?" I questioned. "Nope, nothing at all." He held hands up in surrender. "Something seems funny. What is it? Come on, man up and tell."
The one way to test a man is question his masculinity. Make him want to prove his male dominance.
"Fine. You want to know so bad?" "Bane?" Renee intervened. "Yeah."
"Fine. We're damn animals." He laughed.
Was this a damn joke to him?
"Okay. See ya." "I guess she didn't believe that." Bane toyed. I picked up my things and walked toward the exit door.
"Move." I struggled to shove Brent out of my way but I was disappointment by the outcome. "Sit down." He ordered.
"Bane?" Renee called out again.
"What? Im sorry but its not my fault she didn't believe it." He laughed.
I hated being put on the spot. I hated being toyed with. I hated the lies. The secrets. I hated how mad I was getting. My fingers curled into a fist. My nails began to dig into my very flesh, pinching my skin painfully.
"MOVE!" I snapped.
"Sit down." His calm and cool demeanor was only testing my patience even more. "Get out of my damn way or so help me."
"Renee. Sit down."
Can I say I let my anger and bad judgement get the best of me? My angry state of mind taking over me, I cocked my arm back and swung. Catching him off guard, my fist collided with his jaw.
His hand gripping his face, he stared at me, obviously stunned by my actions. I stared at him, almost stunned by my own damn actions.
Wow, I didn't miss. I couldn't let him see my surprise.
That enthusiastic and happy look on his face was gone now, only to be replaced with displeasure and rage. He lowered his head, hiding his eyes from us.
"Sit down." His voice seemed to have changed. Now it was laced with anger, rage, and darkness.
"No."
Before I could blink, my arm was held in his tight grasp. Struggling to get out of his intense grip, I began tugging away. His head still down, he made a weird deep growl-like, grunting noise.
Slowly, he raised his head to look at me. A wave of fear and terror took over me. A chilling sight to see when I looked at him. Into his eyes. Colorless orbs now dark, black and unnatural. I wanted to scream but the bulging lump in my throat prevented me from doing so.
Oh. My. God.
"SIT..." his mouth opened, revealing the sharp elongated incisors teeth. "DOWN"
He released my arm from his deadly grip. Stunned, panicky, and shocked, I slowly backed away and fell onto the bed with a oomph.
What the fuck?
Unable to speak another word, I looked to Renee for the same bewildered and fearful reaction as mine. Nothing. Her calm demeanor and look warned me that she knew of this.
This was the secret?
The drug lord assumption just went spiraling down the drain. Boy, I wish they were drug traffickers now. That would be more realistic.
"What..." I swallowed that lump. "What are you?"
Did I really want to know? Did I need to know? Yeah probably. However I was scared of the answer.
"Beast."
