Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 71

Xavier POV

I didn’t expect the rogue to be so good when it came to fighting against me. I’m somewhat impressed despite the situation I’m currently in. However, the rogue isn’t faring well. I’ve alreally bested him several times. He’s in infinitely worse shape, blood pouring from his mouth and nose as he continues to glower at me. So far, his friends have restrained from joining in the fight, but who knows how long they’ll prevent themselves frein interfering. Rogues are slippery and conniving bastards after all. They can’t be trusted to keep their word. I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand, watching as Jet becomes hesitant to fight me. Now he knows the true extent of my prowess he’s not certain that he can beat me.

“Well,” I snapped “you wanted to fight to the death if I recall? Or have you changed your mind?” I snarled

“Wow, Jet. You’re getting your ass beat good” another rogue mocked his friend, causing Jet’s eyes to blaze with anger av he turned his head and faced him

“Shut up” Jet roared at him. “T’d like to see you do any better” he added in a hiss

I didn’t care if they continued to argue with one another. The more they did, the more time the wolfsbane had to leave my system. They had evidently forgotten all about that. This was to my advantage. I needed the time and could afford the delays. I could already feel some of my strength returning to me. It was taking everything in me not to rush to Regan’s side as the dirty rogue beside her continued to touch and hold her, forcing me to rein in my anger. He would be one of the first to die. I promised myself, staring hard at Jet as I challenged him to continue fighting.

Jei let out a snarl and lunged without thinking about it. Big mistake. He left himself wide open in his anger. My feet moved, almost dancing on the ground and I slid aside, punching him hard in the stomach and listening to the sound of his strangled voice as he choked. I followed it up with a hard kick to the throat and then gripped him around the neck, squeezing hard as his eyes bulged in panic.I had him right where I wanted him and it had been easier than I had thought it would be. I smirked, enjoying the look of terror on his face. He didn’t look so arrogant now,

Nobody is going to get near her, not again. I would not fail her a second time. These bastards were going to hell and I was going to be the one to send them there. Three rogue wolves stand there with gleaming eyes. I lunge at them. This time I’m going on the offensive. I slash one, jump over the other, and pin the third to free, viciously tearing out its throat. I move, turning back around. One is close to Regan who is backing away, I jump back in front of her, the other two rogues circling Damn. If they attack together, there is a

I land on top of him and pin him to the dirt with my strength. Regan hits him hard on the head, surprising me. The rogue is momentarily stunned and dazed. I use the opportunity to grab him by the neck and pull at it with my powerful jaws. The rogue’s neck is severed from its spinal cord, 1 drop its head to the ground with a heavy thud. It’s dead. Good riddance. I climb off and then glance at the other rogue. still alive but barely with its guts continuing to fall out. It will be dead momentarily which means that all of them but one is gone now. I’m unnerved. All the rogues but the Alpha are dead. Where is the leader, the Alpha? Had he abandoned his pack, his comrades! I stand guard, protectively in front of Regan, even as she
