Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 91

Regan POV

Pain swept through me, even as I stood between Xavier and Xander, staring at Alpha Jackson’s wolf which continued to shudder and tremble in front of us. I had done it. I had managed to get him to consume the vial, only breaking a few ribs in the process. Xavier was pissed at me, but it was worth it. The only thing was… neither of us knew if I had managed to do it in time or if Alpha Jackson was lost to us forever. It was nerve–wracking, standing there, praying, hoping, that his mind would become clear and that the man we knew before Heather and Isabelle had drugged him, would return. If he didn’t….then who knew what we would do? I doubted we could go back out and search for Mala again, begging for another antidote or a different one, if such one existed. This was our last resort, it had to work.

“Is it my imagination or is the shuddering getting worse?” I asked, studying the wolf intently and certain that they were becoming closer together and more vicious.

Xavier frowned as he looked closer at his father’s wolf. “I think you’re right. It’s almost as though his body is trying to throw off or reject the herb” he said narrowing his eyes and thinking it through.

“Maybe that’s exactly what it’s doing. Or absorbing it through the bloodstream and dispelling it” I thought aloud, considering the various possibilities. Mala hadn’t said how the antidote would work exactly and I hadn’t thought to ask. That was a mistake, I mused.

“I’m not sure. But his head is beginning to shake back and forth now” Xander pointed out and instinctively we took a few steps back.

Something was about to happen and we didn’t want to be too close when it did.

We all stared in disgust as the wolf began to vomit up a bright green liquid, over and over again, the smell putrid and revolting. It was almost worse than the smell of a rogue and that was saying something.I wrinkled my nose. Xavier and Xander looked equally as repulsed. This was a side effect we hadn’t been expecting. I wondered if this was a good sign.

Alpha Jackson’s wolf stopped vomiting and then collapsed back onto the ground. I watched as his eyes slowly began to close. He was no longer shuddering. He seemed to be exhausted. Instead to our surprise, his body began to shift, his bones cracking and breaking, until his human form lay on the ground, naked, curled up in a fetal position, much the same as mine had been. For a moment there was nothing but silence as we stared in disbelief. His human form looked the same, even though there were dark prominent circles beneath his eyes and his hair was slightly longer and disheveled. There was no denying that it was him though.

“Does this mean he’s back?” Xander hissed.

“Do you think I magically know the answer?” Xavier snapped at his brother, his tone sarcastic.

I rolled my eyes at their bickering and looked at the Alpha on the floor. He seemed vulnerable, his eyes tightly closed but he was breathing, I noted, glancing at his chest which was rising and falling in an even tempo. So he was still alive at least. I went to move forward in order to look at him even more closely but Xander’s hand shot out, halting me in my tracks.

Damnit. He was still angry about earlier. I tried to feign innocence, batting my eyelids at him and giving him a small smile.

“What do you think you are doing?” he shot out. “Don’t you think you’ve already risked your life enough?” he added tersely.
