Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 6

Xavier’s POV

I feel my brother grab my arm, turning around to regard him wh a raised brow, his nails digging slightly into my bare skin.

“What is it?” my tone is sharper than intended and he lets go, a cowl on his face.

“Why are you being so nice to that Regan girl all of a sudden? folds his arms across his chest, looking indignant “You know what she’s like. Isabelle has told us everything about her” he added with a growl.

I’m not so sure that Regan is exactly as Isabelle has described. From the way Isabelle talks about it, Regan treats her like a slave, hurting her whenever her back is turned, but I have a hard time picturing Isabelle as a victim. Maybe because when she spends time with us, she can be pretty arrogant and abrasive Xander seems to adore her though, but lately, I seem to find her more and more unsettling.

“Is it second thoughts about taking Isabelle as our chosen mate he added, the corners of his mouth turning downwards “Because I thought we both agreed that we would do the best thing for the pack and take a chosen Luma that was strong and capable of helping to defend it. Isabelle has Beta blood” he reminded me “and she’s beautiful. Everybody in the pack thinks we’re taking her as Luna and they all like her.”

“I’m not denying that she’s beautiful” I growled, even as my mind flashed back to a certain brunette with dark green eyes, my body feeling heated as I shifted on my feet; “it’s just that…” My voice trailed off as I hesitantly glanced at my brother who looked unimpressed.

“Just what Xavier? Since when do you find Isabelle so repulsive?he spat out, looking offended.

“I’m not saying I find her repulsive” I snarled back, annoyed, “it’s just that I find her to be irritating I admitted, as Xander studied me “and I don’t know why.”

“Maybe it’s just nerves with the upcoming ceremony and our birthday” Xander suggested brightly, grasping at excuses “You’re feeling out of sorts because your wolf is close to coming out.”

“So, is yours” I pointed out with a scoff and then looked at him meaningfully “Are you finding Isabelle annoying?” I asked deliberately and intentionally.
