Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 10

Xavier POV

Something instinctive made me head down towards the kitchen Normally I would simply order an omega to fetch me what I wanted or grab a pack member to get it, but for some unfathomable reason, I felt this stirring in my gut, some internal voice urging me to go myself and so I walked, heading downstalk only to hear the sound of her shallow breathing, her sobs as she clutched desperately at her hand, running it underneath he water as I glanced downwards from where I stood in the doorway, taking in the redness, the rawness of it, able to see the burnt hand as clearly as if I were right next to it. I sucked in a breath.

Anger filled me. There was no way that Regan had done this to herself. The pain she must be in must be undeniably excruciating and I was unable to keep myself from reacting to the fear she was exhibiting.

She stares studiously at the sink, her shoulders slumped. I stare at her. “Well?” I demanded, even as I gently turned her hand over and examined it closely.

The hand is bright red, but it’s not as bad as I originally thought She would heal, but it would be slow and painful. I am sickened to think that another pack member would be responsible for this, even though there have been instances in the past, where I too have injured Regan intentionally, in a way to show my disgust and revulsion for her. Right now, conveniently forgetting all of that, feeling an overwhelming desire to protect her, and not sure why I am feeling this way. Especially towards her of all people.

Her green eyes, so much like emeralds, peer up at me as she lets out a hiccup of distress.

What the hell was I doing? Why was I touching her so intimately I wanted to stop, but just touching her was causing a reaction in me, or rather in my downstairs region that was quite unexpected, and I shifted awkwardly in an attempt to hide it from her.

“It was nobody” she blurted out “I forgot to turn the cold water on and burnt my hand by accident,” she told me, her voice rising higher with every word.
