Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 1

Regan POV

Smack. My head careened backwards as my stepsister Isabelle, slapped me, with all the force that she could muster. I gritted my teeth and forced myself to look at her, knowing that if I was retaliate it would only bring more punishment on myself. She examined her perfectly manicured fingernails and gave me wide smile as she gloated.

“I don’t know why my mother and your father insist on keeping you around like this, but when I am Luna, you will be kicked out of the pack so fast that your head will spin” she declared, narrowing her eyes at me and looking at me with

contempt.

I bit my tongue. It was pointless to argue with Isabelle. Ever since my father, Johnathon, the Beta of the Blood Moon Pack, had entered negotiations with Alpha Jackson, to make Isabelle the chosen mate of Xander and Xavier Dominion, the Alpha’s sons, she had been impossible to live with. Not that she had been easy to live with before that, but now it was even worse than before.

Isabelle was the most popular girl in the pack and the meanest. Now that she was almost guaranteed to become the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack when the twins turned eighteen in several days‘ time, she had become filled with her own self–inflated

ego.

“I want my clothes properly ironed and there had better not be a single crinkle in them, do you understand” she hissed, “When the twins have their eighteenth birthday party in a few days, I intend to be the best–looking girl there. As Luna, I will need to show off to everyone in the pack, just how beautiful I look.”

She glared at me. I rubbed my cheek, unable to help myself. “You’re not Luna yet. They might still find their mate” 1 mumbled, staring down at the ground.

After all, every shifter had a fated mate, although in the twin’s case, they would share one between the two of them. Isabelle’s eyes were flashing. They have already agreed to reject their fated mate, for the good of the pack” she snarled, as I stepped slightly backwards. “Unless she is of Alpha blood, she is of no real help to them anyway. I am of Beta blood” she purred, looking smug, “and a good friend of Alpha Jackson and Luna Jennifer.”

Heather Ramona, Isabelle had been doted on for as long as I could remember, while I had been shoved unceremoniously to the side. I had become almost invisible inside my own home. The child that nobody wanted, the child that everybody blamed for her mother’s death in a rogue attack when she was still young. I sighed. Alpha Jackson and Luna Jennifer were enamored with Isabelle finding her light blonde hair and big blue eyes positively ‘enchanting
