Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 265 – Threat in the Night

“Oh calm down, brother,” Rafe’s voice says from the darkness, a sigh thick in his words.

Victor’s growl cuts off, but he stays tense behind me as the figure climbs the stairs, coming into the light spilling through the living room window.

When we see that it is indeed Rafe standing there, Victor leans back, scowling at him. “Don’t sneak up on your Alpha family, Rafe,” he grumbles. “That’s one fast way to get torn to pieces.”

“Whatever,” Rafe says, sighing. I frown at him, still sitting tense. What the hell was wrong with him now? And where was he all day?

Victor looks his brother over as well, starting to pick up on his mood. “What’s wrong?” he asks.

“Nothing,” Rafe murmurs, but I can tell by his tone that something’s wrong. And that he’s feeling rather sorry for himself.

“Okay!” I say cheerfully, picking up my glass of wine and standing up. “I’ll leave you two to talk this through.” I bend down and give Victor a perky kiss on the cheek.

“Wait,” he says, grabbing for my hand as I walk away. “There’s still more I want to talk to you about –“

“You know where I’ll be,” I say, pitching my voice low and giving him a wink. Victor smiles at me and lets me go. Inside the house I give a little sigh as I dump my wine into the sink, wishing Rafe hadn’t interrupted. I know, in my heart, that Victor has more to say.

But still, I can tell that Rafe needs him now more than I do.

And I want to get to the bottom of whatever is going on with him as well. So, I head up the stairs, fully intent on interrogating Victor about what the hell is going on with his brother as soon as he comes up.
