Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 54

Xavier POV

As we walk onto the grounds, Regan’s eyes are lit with wonder, taking in the fairy lights, the large bonfire, the tables and chairs, and the refreshments and food. Pack members are everywhere socializing; some are dancing with each other, while others eat and drink. The omegas are walking around, and 1 quickly grab two glasses of champagne, one for me and one for her, while Xander grabs one for himself. I hand Regan a glass she screws up her nose, looking down at the glass doubtfully. I remember that she hadn’t had champagne before, let alone alcohol, and gave a small smile to myself.

“Try it I urged, and she willingly parted her luscious pink lips, sipping delicately at the liquid and letting it trickle down her

throat.

1 gulped at the seductive picture she made, willing my lower body not to react as I watched.

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at me and Xander with a wide smile, “It’s fruity,” she exclaimed.

“We figured you were more of the sweet kind” I teased, and she grinned, taking another sip and looking around, her eyes appreciative and her excitement continuing to grow.

“It’s so beautiful” she whispers, glancing around everywhere.

“May I have this dance?” I asked her, giving a small bow as she giggled and Xander glared at me, causing Regan to study us both thoughtfully, her eyes twinkling as she considered what to do.

“You both may have this dance she corrects us with a grin, as Xander puts hers and his glass aside and I put mine down ona nearby table.

We move a little closer to the bonfire, putting our hands on her waist, my body pressing up against the front of her, Xanders, against the back, wedging her between the both of us. It’s insting, putting our mate in the middle, protecting her while also being possessive at the same time.

God, she smells so good. My mouth is salivating while my wolf growling and groaning inside of my mind. Just being near Regan is enough to make my wolf feel like it’s going insane. My hand moves up and down her ribs, lightly stroking them. causing her to suck in a breath, while I can see Xander touching her hips and the small of her back with his hands. I nibble on one earlobe, causing her to moan and Xander begins to kiss the nape of her neck, causing Regan to fling her head back slightly, granting us easier access as our hands roam over her body, our desire for her surging to the surface, along with our wolves. It’s the first time she’s let us touch her so freely and we are cautious, not wanting to take too much advantage, but enjoying the feel of our mate and the trust she’s showing in the both of us. I meet Xander’s eyes, knowing he feels the same way. I grab her chin and kiss her lips, moving my hand to pull her body in against me before moving back slightly, Xander pulling her so that she turns her head to the side before he claims her lip as well in a possessive manner. She writhes against us, making me hard. I inwardly groan, my eyes feasting hungrily on my mate. I want to do so much more to her, but I’m also very aware of the crowd that is watching intently from the sidelines as we make certain everybody knows that Regan is ours without having to say it in words

She looks divine in the white dress she’s wearing. Her breasts are like perfect circular orbs, straining against the fabric and begging to be kissed. Her skin looks as though it’s glowing underneath the moonlight and her hair lightly sways in the breeze. She’s so beautiful. Like a goddess. I worship her, my mase, continuing to dance, the pack members watching from afar, my gaze on her and only her. Her hands begin to roam on my chest, doing her own exploration and surprising me. I hitch in a breath, as my wolf groans, enjoying the feel of her touch, as gentle and uncertain as it is. Not to be outdone, she stops and puts a hand on Xander’s chest, touching him as his eyes widen in shock. We’re no longer dancing, but our mate is touching us willingly and we’re not about to interrupt whatever spell she’s under. We’ve been waiting for this, for her to take some sort of initiative and show us some affection rather than the continual rejection that she’s exhibited towards us. For once, Regan is acting like a mate, like the Luna we have been dreaming of and it’s all we can do not to push her too far, even as we inwardly celebrate the change in her behavior regarding u

“Slut” a voice interrupts and we all stiffen at the blatant insult.

Who has the nerve to call our mate a slut, right to our faces? I grow furious, watching with disappointment as Regan’s hand drops, stopping her exploration of my body. Damnit. My frustration is evident as I meet Xander’s eyes and turn to see none other than Isabelle’s friend Claudia, standing there with her arms folded across her chest and glaring at Regan who looks taken aback.

“What did you just call our mate?” I growled, my eyes beginning to darken, along with Xanders.
