Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 93

Xander POV

I can’t believe it. The worst thing is knowing that my mate is hurting, and it somehow feels as though it’s my fault even though I’ve done nothing wrong. The tension in the room is stifling as my father continues to instruct our men to search for those evil bitches. I stand up abruptly, unable to take any more, and begin to storm from the room, my anger increasing by the second. To my surprise, it’s not Xavier who comes running after me, but Regan. She puts a hand on my arm, halting me in my tracks. At her touch, part of me instantly calms and so does my wolf. The mate bond never fails to soothe me. I instantly relax and soften my eyes towards her.

“Xander,” she says softly “I know you’re angry but…” she trails off as she sees the expression on my face.

“Angry doesn’t even begin to cover it” I growled, “And what about you Regan” I gestured to her. “Aren’t you mad? Upset?” I burst out in frustration.”I’ve hurt you and I don’t know what I can do to make it up to you. You’re my mate. This shouldn’t be something you have to deal with.”

It shouldn’t be anything any of us should have to deal with. I wasn’t ready to be a father yet and to make Regan a mother before she was ready to be one…I wasn’t that much of a monster Yet the thought of denying my child was also unbearable. I was torn and feeling as though I was being dragged in all directions.

Her eyes widen. Surprise crosses her face. “Do you think I’m going to blame you for something that is out of your control? Sure, it sucks” she breathed as I titled my head and studied her, “and yes, I’m hurt” she admitted “but not once have I gotten angry at you Xander. Isabelle has always been conniving, and this is no different to one of her lousy tricks. Don’t let her get in your head” she warned, “because it will drive you crazy.”

I scowled. She paused and then slowly put her arms around me, taking me aback. She should be screaming at me, cursing me, and shouting at me, I thought incredulously, and instead, she was comforting me. I had never felt so low or so ashamed. I saw Xavier come in behind us, nodding tightly as he watched Regan, and I comfort each other. He looked relieved to find that my anger had begun to fade.

“I don’t know what to do” my voice is hoarse “I don’t know what the right decision is. I don’t want to hurt you” I admitted, reaching to tuck a loose tendril of her hair behind her ear “because you mean everything to me Regan. I can’t imagine my life without you” I added and watched as her eyes began to softly glow.

“I feel the same. We’ll get through this together” she promised wildly.

I cupped her cheek, marveling at her selflessness. I didn’t deserve this girl. She was everything I could have hoped for in a mate and more. I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers, expressing what I couldn’t in words, my kiss tender and filled with love. She moaned and put her arms around me. I felt Xavier move behind us and as I pulled back, he gently grabbed her chin and turned her face, kissing her as well as she nestled into our arms. For a moment there was nothing but silence as we all stood huddled together, all three of us content and relishing the touch of our mate.

“I love you” she murmured out loud and we both stiffened surprised, even though we knew that already.

I still liked hearing the words come from her lips.
