Beta Renae Marin

location : Valkov Moon Pack

Renae sighed, plopping her pregnant self into the pastel print couch in her living room after an argument with her thirteen year old son, Jeremy. The door slammed forcefully causing Renae to cradle her head, the boy was getting hot-headed she realized, ever since the death of his father.

It was hard to get through, even eight months after his passing there was still a fierce burning in her chest at the thought of it like it only happened a second ago.

She knew she was dying, but she refused to bend to the call of death, Phillip would've wanted her to stay strong for their children. Phillip would've wanted her to survive.

Now the position of Beta was to be passed on to her son, her only son, hence the reason for their recent brawl, she couldn't bear the thought of losing her child to his Beta duties like she did her husband, they were second in command to an entire pack of supernatural beings called Werewolves and it was a lot to take on.

Her pack, the Valkov Moon and the Blood Konstavus were at war and she just needed her children to stay safe until they were old enough to fend for themselves, so she could finally be with her beloved Phillip.

She stood, with great effort her almost nine months pregnant frame keeping her off balance, it wasn't a time for her to be stressed, it was really close to her due date and she worried gravely.

Anita, her live-in nurse rushed to her side "Oh, beta Ren you should be resting" she scolded trying to get the stubborn woman to sit.

Renae shook her head at the blonde "I need to speak to the Alphas men"

It was a short walk from the living quarters of the pack house to the Alphas office. The private wing of the pack house was understandably quiet, but she knew if she were to leave the brick walls of this mansion she'd enter a community void of any warmth, just broken homes, broken souls and broken people, Her pack was on lockdown, this war was getting even more disastrous as the months dragged by and she worried not even the Alpha and more than half the warriors could do anything to stop it.

The Alpha had forced her to live in the pack house after the death of her mate and his best friend, it was normal for a mate to go mad after the death of their other half and she understood the Alpha's concern for her but he did not have to worry, the minute she found out about her husband, she also found out about her unborn child-Arisa.

Now, she found herself trying to cope with the fact that Jeremy believed he was the one who caused his Fathers' death.

Renae understood the reason her son wanted to accept the Beta call, he wanted to make things right, to show his worth, that, however, didn't make the situation any easier to accept, he was just too young.

The thing that scared her the most when they had had their argument wasn't the aching pain she saw in the grey of his eyes, No, it was the bone-crippling presence of revenge.

He was hell-bent on revenge.

Stepping into the Alphas office she gave Anita a weak smile as the young girl scurried away, probably to look after her newborn. An average height silhouette stood in front of the black panel window of a lavished style office, Renae cleared her throat

"Yes, Mrs. Marin," He said, his voice sending a shudder down her spine, she resisted the urge to flinch at the name, she was no longer Mrs. Marin, she was just Renae.
