Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 23

Xavier POV

Regan. It can’t be but the proof was right in front of me. Not only was it right in front of me but the unthinkable had happened. Instead of being grateful for the mate bond, or happy about the fart that we were mates, she had tried to reject the both of us instead. My wolf was furious, even as I glanced towards my brother who looked equally dumbfounded by what had occurred. We had never thought that our mate might ot want us or that she might try to reject us. We were too arrogant to consider the likelihood that somebody might not want to be mated to us.

“She just rejected us,” Xander said dumbly, still staring in the diction Regan had left “Our mate doesn’t want us

“She does” I growled back, refusing to believe it. “She’s just afraid of the pack and maybe… I hesitated but Xander glanced at me sharply. “We weren’t exactly nice to her, were we? We picked on her and we hurt her a few times” I admitted shamefully, “so it’s no wonder she’s not ecstatic about the mate bond. She doesn’t have her wolf yet either so she can’t feel the bond from her side.

Both of us were clad in party clothes, but our suits were a rumpled mess. I had gone out looking for my mate again, this time picking up the scent when I had been about to turn back. I didn’t have any knowledge that Xander had been following behind me. I shot him a sharp look filled with anger and he merely stared back, shrugging unapologetically.

“So, what do we do? We can’t just pretend it didn’t happen. My wolf flat out refuses to even entertain the idea of Isabelle now Xander added, frowning at the floor.

“Mine already refused” I reminded him rolling my eyes, “although I’m glad you didn’t attempt to bring up that harebrained scheme of yours to Regan. She would have laughed in your face I snarled.

“Whatever” he snapped. “I concede that I’m an idiot. We’re expected back at the party Xavier” he growled, reminding me, but his eyes were still staring in the direction that Regan had left

My wolf wanted to go after her too, but we had our other duties to consider. Like the chosen mate that none of us desired any longer. This was sure to cause

cause some anger not just with our parents, but with the pack as a whole.

We started to walk back, our heads bowed low. I tried to tidy my hair while Xander did the same. As we headed towards the marquee, we ran directly into Isabelle who had been outside looking for us. I raked my gaze over her, my lip curling in revulsion. She was dressed up to stand out in a vibrant red dress that drew the eye, a long slit along the leg. I was immediately turned off by her. As she went to grab my hand, my wolf surged to the surface, angry that somebody besides our fated mate would even attempt to touch us, letting out a low and furious growl. Xander’s head whipped towards me and I saw the panicked expression on his face, but it was too late as thad already given myself away.
