Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 133 – The Alpha of the Pack

“Well well well,” Rafe says, his face twitching, as Victor and his family approach the fire pit, Victor limping slightly. “Look who finally showed up.”

The rest of the family are already gathered. Bridgette sits in a camping chair next to Rafe, her hands folded anxiously in her lap. Even Henry has been carried down in his chair so that he sits at the head of the fire pit circle, acting the patriarch. Marissa stands next to him.

Victor sneers at his father, slightly, resenting him for pretending an authority he doesn’t have. This is still Victor’s pack, after all. Then, as he takes his place in the circle, Evelyn standing to his left and his boys to his right, Victor turns his sneer on his brother.

“Hello Rafe,” Victor says, putting his hands cooly in his pockets. “You look terrible.”

Evelyn can’t help but keep her mouth from twitching in humor at the comment. It’s true, though – Rafe’s face is pale and jerking, his body wracked by shudders from a night spent in the cold, ravaged by wolfsbane.

“Oh, Rafe,” she coos, sarcasm adding bite to her words. “You look like you could use a little rest, perhaps a long restful vacation. Far away from here, maybe in hell. Would you like me to arrange that for you?”

Rafe glares at her, his lips pulling back from his teeth in a growl. “That’s enough from you, you cheat,” he sneers.

Evelyn huffs a laugh in his face. “Are you serious? You’re the one who –“

“Enough.” Henry’s voice slices through the crowd. Marissa stands nervously next to him, a hand on his shoulder. She looks between her two boys and then holds Evelyn’s gaze. Evelyn gives her a small nod.

“This trial did not go smoothly,” Henry continues, his voice serious. “As both parties in the trial have been accused of…misconduct,” Henry glares at his sons here, “I, the only unbiased party, will act as judge and jury to decide the winner.”

Evelyn bites her lip at this, unable to help the thought that Marissa, too, is an unbiased party. But she keeps the thought to herself, knowing it won’t be helpful in this moment.

“As the elder son,” Henry says, turning his gaze to Victor, “we will hear Victor’s side first.”

Victor nods before beginning. “It’s simple,” he says with a shrug. “Rafe did not participate in the trial until the last moments, when I was isolated. I executed his final Beta – the eleventh, illegal Beta – moments before I was trapped in a snare of Rafe’s own making.”

Victor glares at his brother here, who returns his gaze impassively. “Then Rafe had himself delivered by helicopter to deliver the final blow, which was deflected by Evelyn at the last moment.”

Victor shrugs, crossing his arms over his chest. “I took out eleven men, all of them Betas. If Rafe secretly called in a proxy to take his place on the field, so be it. But I took them all out and was, myself, never incapacitated on the field.”
