Regan POV

It still stings, but Xavier and Xander are bestowing so much attention and love on me, that Claulia’s hateful words are pushed to the hack of my mind as I relax on Xander’s lap, leaning fully against him and yawning widely. Even though Xander is all sweaty and dirty, part of me doesn’t mind, enjoying the feel of him pressed against me, just like I had enjoyed! the feel of him and Xavier pressed against me last night… Blush feeling my heart begin to race and my palms begin to get all sweat. Last night had been amazing. I thought, and even now found it hard to believe that I had gone that far with my mates, but I refused to be embarrassed by it.

“There you all are Heather walks into the kitchen, dressed up in designer dress, her eyes shining brightly as the looks down her nose at us

There is no sign of the twin’s father, Alpha Jackson, We shoot each other glances, feeling uneasy. I can feel a sense of dread rising inside of me. Something is wrong but I can’t put my finger on it. It seems unusual that Heather is walking about the packhouse so freely without Alpha Jackson by her side.

“What is it Ms Ramona” Xavier speaks icily, and I wince at how he uses

s Heather’s last name as a deliberate insult.

She smiles wider, refusing to be cowed by his disrespect. “Xavier, Xander” she ignores me, Your father is rather busy with matters at the moment and wanted me to relay instructions to you. While you are in charge of the pack, anything that requires a signature or alteration of the pack in any way shape, or form is to go through me, as well as all or any financial

matters.

That’s a lie” Xavier quickly objects, standing up and glaring hatefully at her while I cringe.

Heather blinks. “No, actually. Your father is still in charge of pack funds and all the financial aspects, until he signs that over

Heather made a mocking motion. “By all means, go for it. That if you can get not to be disturbed by anyone, except for myself.”

This was strange. Alpha Jackson adored his sons. How was it possible that in one night, everything had been turned upside. down to the extent he only trusted Heather with his affairs? It was weird. Did this have something to do with the elders or was there more at play? I nibbled my lip, eyeing my stepmother suspiciously.I felt as though she was hiding something. She was acting way too casual, way too relaxed about the whole thing Had she set this up from the beginning? She had been curiously eager to mark with Alpha Jackson and become mates, I thought to myself.

“What happened when the elders left last night?” I asked with interest, as Xander quietly moved me over to the seat next to him and sat me down.

She looked at me and rolled her eyes. “Nothing. They wished Alpha Jackson and I the best, commented on your rudeness for leaving after the ceremony.” She pinned me with a disapproving look “and then chose to leave in their vehicles. Nothing more was said. What are you implying Regan?” she said tightly.

“Just what we’re all thinking. My father seems to have done a complete turnaround personality–wise,” Xander said, while Xavier got up and moved past Heather, running up the stairs so fast that he was practically a blur.

“Adults are compelled to change their minds” Heather remained unconcerned. “It happens all the time. Besides, leaving the pack in your so–called capable hands. It Never really sat well with me”

Xander’s lip curled “You think that you would do better” he asked as I sat there silently, pleading for him not to make her

angry.

Sweetheart that’s not even a question” Heather commented, forming her face with her hand, a glint in her eye “but you

should console yourself with the fact that at the very least right now, you have the company of the mate that you were so desperate to get your greedy little hands on. I hope that you still want Regan” she said as I glared at her “and haven’t changed your minds on that little matter.”

“Of course we want Regan” he hissed, gripping the table “We would never change our minds about our mate.”

I exhaled slowly, feeling relieved, even though part of me knew at my mates would never abandon me or leave me. Still, it was always a fear of mine, that would ntinue to remain at the back of my mind, no matter what.

“That’s good” Heather gives a wan smile “You’ll need the company of each other.”

It almost sounded like a threat, I thought, eyeing my stepmother and wishing I could read her mind.

Xavier comes down, looking irritable. “Father refuses to open the door” he exclaims, holding his hands out while Heather openly gloats. “When I asked him what was going on, he repeated everything that Ms Ramona just told us he added darkly.

“So it’s true” Xander sounds shocked.

“No” Xavier quickly objects. “She has him under a spell or something,” he said, looking at my stepmother with a shake of his head “Father would never just hand over the finances of the pack and the amount of control she has just like that.”

However” she pauses and looks at us all, while I begin to feel a sirsening sense of dread “they might also decide that I deserve more power than I already have.
