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,

“Help me he coughed to his friends, clawing futilely at my hands

Any moment now he could shift unless my grip was so tight it prevented it.

I glared at them. They looked hesitantly at each other. Jet stared at them incredulously. My fingers tightened around his windpipe, intentionally cutting off his oxygen supply. I wanted him to feel the air slowly leaving his lungs.

“Help me he wheezed.

“Let him go” the rogue holding Regan speaks, his voice curt.

I curse under my breath but know that I would never put Regangin danger by refusing to do as they ask.

her

The other rogues nod relieved they don’t have to help by physically defending their friend. I feel frustration simmering inside me. I turn, keeping a wary eye on the other rogues. He stands, holding Regan by the throat as she stares at me, mouth opening, unable to utter a sound. I dropped jet to the ground, and he began to cough, clutching his throat. The rogue doesn’t let go of Regan and I watch as her lips turn blue. Rage kindles inside of me. I had kept my part of the bargain, why hadn’t he done the same?

“Let her go.” My tone is dripping with venom. This man would die by my hand, for daring to touch my mate and make her kneel earlier.

The other rogue shakes his head. I clench my hands into fists. For the first time, my wolf begins to whisper inside my mind as it comes back to life, his anger also coming to the fore. The wolfsbane has worked its way out of my system completely. I stare at Regan, trying to communicate with her silently as she stares at me with wide eyes and a terrified expression on her face. I try to tell her to remain calm and not to be afraid. I was about to save us both.

Ishifted. The rogues are not expecting it. The wolfsbane has left any system earlier than they envisioned thanks to exposing

That shows just how strong a wolf and alpha that he is. I’m impressed despite my concern for him, my mouth going dry as I watch the two wolves going at each other with all that they have. Fear strikes my heart. I can’t bear to lose my mate. If he dies. I don’t want to contemplate such a horrible thing. The pain itself of losing a mate…it’s indescribable.

Instead of attempting to run, which I know will only end in my death, I fling myself down onto the floor and raise the branch into the air, shoving the sharp end

to the ground, my breathing heavy, blood splattered all over my body from the rogue, Alpha’s wound. The other wolf is not dead, but I have given Xavier all the time that he’s needed. He springs past me and clamps his jaws down onto Damien’s neck. I hear the sickening track as Xavier kills the Alpha rogue behind me. I turn away shivering violently, trying not to look around at all the dead wolves we’ve left in our wake. Part of me feels guilty even though I know that we needed
