Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 36

Xander POV

I watched my mate leave, feeling stricken and heartbroken. I had never in a million years dreamed that my mother would be capable of such a horrendous thing. She left silence in her wake. My father looked devastated, putting his head in his hands. Warriors entered the room, mind–linked by a grim Xavies, taking hold of Beta Jolanathon who stared wildly at us all, unable to believe that he was about to be punished for a crime had committed years ago. I had no sympathy for him. He had known what he did was against the pack law and yet he hail ontinued to lie about it. His rate must have felt the betrayal pains as he slept with our mother, just as our father me have done, with neither of them understanding what they

were.

“Beta Johnathon adultery is a crime, regardless of how long ago i was and your actions led to the death of an innocent pack member, no matter how unintentional it was. You lied and betrayed the Alpha of your pack. You will be placed in the dungeon to await your sentence” Xavier’s voice is dull as he speaks to the Beta.

I watch as Beta Johnathon is dragged out kicking and screaming silver restraints placed around his wrists, preventing him from being able to shift. My father does not look up from his set, his face still in his hands.

“Isabelle and Heather Ramona” my yoice is quiet as I address the two women now.

They look at me terrified. “There is no evidence to suggest you had any knowledge about what transpired but I suspect that you have both been involved in hurting our mate physically. Since we too, are guilty of that crime, I will be lenient on this one occasion. Neither of you is to step foot in the pack house from now on and you will maintain a respectful distance from Regan at all times. Is that understood?” My voice is icy as I stare at them with a glacial expression on my face,

They nod vehemently, looking panicked. I wave my hand at them dismissively. “Then leave. We have other business to conclude. If you wish to see your rate, your stepfather, you will have to wait until his sentence has been decided.” My voice is heavy.

They nod and then quickly rush out of the room, practically dragging each other by the arm as they leave in a hurry. Silence. Xavier and I look at our father, both of us now sympathetically regarding him.

“Father, you should leave for this next bit,” I tell him quietly in warning.

This would not be easy on anyone, least of all him. But it had to be

done.

He gets up, his eyes red and puffy, and vanishes from the room I feel a pang for the man who has spent his life raising me, only to be betrayed by the very person meant to love him unconditionally. The very person who is his other half, his mate, and meant to be by his side forever. Nothing can ever redeem my mother from this. Not ever.

She might not have always been the kindest, but she did her best. It’s hard to fathom that she was responsible not only for the death of Celeste Lourdes but that she
