Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 29

Regan POV

“How dare you” Luna Jennifer hissed, storming over to me as the crowd went wild, several pack members hooing and hissing as I stood there, turning to walk away. “Do you have any len what you’ve just done you little bitch” she sneered. “Mother” Xavier interrupts, grabbing her hand as she raises it to lap me “Regari didn’t do anything wrong. She has a point,” he said tightly, as Alpha Jackson joined us and Xauler, my father standing in the background, listening intently with narrowed eyes.

“We haven’t treated her nicely. You’re angry now because she had the guts to call it out?” Xander asked his mother incredulously, who blinked, slowly lowering her hand and looking slightly perplexed by their continued defense of me. “But…but she’s a murderer” spluttered Heather, indignantly, string forward “Why would you want her as Luna anyway?” she asked in disbelief.

“We’re not doing this again” Xavier’s voice is dangerously quiet. We fought for the right to choose our Luna, and we choose Regan. Nobody will call her a murderer again in our presence, d unless they want to find themselves visiting the dungeon downstairs

Heather blanched and quickly shut her mouth at that threat. I rased a brow, Impressed by how quickly Xavier jumped in to defend me, but still standing there motionless. Isabelle let out a Mud shriek, causing all of us to turn our heads at the ear- piercing sound.

“Are you kidding me” she screamed, losing control of herself, “that bitch shouldn’t be anywhere near the pack. I deserve to be the Luna” she added with a hiss, striding forward and attempting to slap me across the face.

Before anybody could so much as blink or move to help me, I grabbed her hand, wincing at the pain in my arm, and shoved her hard, causing her to stagger backwards. She screamed in delance but Xander moved to step between us, protecting me from retaliation. She glared at him, furious beyond words.

“You are no longer welcome in the pack house Isabelle,” he said silly. “That was the agreement. Try and lay a hand on our mate again, I won’t be so merciful” he warned in a low tone of voice.

“She’s not your mate” Isabelle screeched, stamping her foot and eyeing him with rage.

“She will be” Xavier’s voice was confident as he shot me a look, narrowing his eyes “and will be the future Luna of the pack. You will treat her with the appropriate amount of respect. Beta Johnathon” he addressed my father who was glowering at us all “I suggest you grab your daughter and your wife and head home, before she causes further embarrassment to you all.”

It was not a request but a demand.

My father stiffened, recognizing a dismissal when he heard one. He glanced at Alpha Jackson and Luna Jennifer but they both avoided his eyes, agreeing with their son. He gave a snarl and then gripped Isabelle by the arm, roughly, causing her to wince in pain. He was in a temper, for usually, he would treat his stepdaughter far more gently than that.

“With all due respect, but Regan will also need to come home with us,” he said, resting his eyes on me, a small smile curved on his lips.

I could not help but flinch, thinking about what going home might entail for me, considering I had deliberately disobeyed his orders. Pain shot through me and I struggled to maintain a calm façade, while underneath my heart was beating dangerously fast at the prospect of being left alone with my father and the possibility of what he, or Isabelle might do to me.

Xander frowned, looking at his twin brother and then back at my father. “Actually, Regan will be residing in the pack house until we come to a decision regarding her status” he drawled, causing my father’s chin to drop and his cheeks to flush in disappointment. “Heather” he addressed my stepmother who flushed and bowed her head respectfully, “I would appreciate it if you gathered all of Regan’s things and had them brought here to save Regan a trip from going back and forth. She looks

tired” he said eyeing me as I fought back my smile, “and I would like for her to get some decent rest immediately.”

Heather had no choice but to comply with Xander’s request as he was almost an Alpha himself now. She bowed her head again. “Yes, Alpha Xander. 1 will take care of it immediately she humbled, shooting me a dirty look.

Before she could be asked to do anything else, she grabbed Isabelle by the hard and yanked her away from my father, dragging her along behind her, while my father began to follow along behind, scowling viciously. I had never been so glad to be out of his reach, then I was right now. I knew it couldn’t last forever, but for today, I could relax, even just slightly.

Whew. I let out a sigh of relief, grateful for Xander’s intervention, even if I had no desire to say it. They were still unaware of what went on between me and my father and I intended to keep it that way for now.

Luna Jennifer glanced at her mate and made a subtle motion. “We will leave you three to it then,” she said quietly, heading towards the pack house, her mate, Alpha Jackson, in pursuit.
