Chapter 99

Xavier POV

Regan looks stunned as she stands between the both of us, looking at the two of us with displeasure on her face. “Is somebody going to tell me what the hell is going on and what the hell is the matter with you two” she shouted out, her voice carrying across the grounds, “And why I just had to drag the both of you apart when you are brothers and my mates” she added with heavy emphasis and a scowl on her face.

I look pointedly at Xander. I’ve managed to get a few good hits in and I feel nothing but satisfaction as I look at my brother, considering him to be nothing but a traitor: “Tell her Xander” my voice is icy. “Tell your mate, the one you claim to love” I glared at him, “What you intend to do to her and to us?”

Xander shifts on his feet and stares down at the grass, looking as though he’s a deer trapped in headlights. Now that he’s facing Regan and looking directly into her eyes, he seems to have lost his confidence or maybe he’s hesitating because he knows how Regan will take the news. Too bad. He should have thought of that before. It’s too late for him to change his mind now. He coughs, blood splattering onto the ground, and Regan winces, a look of sympathy crossing her face. I continue to glare. I should have hit the bastard harder, I thought morosely, crossing my arms over my chest and raising a

brow.

“Come on Xander. It’s a little late to pretend you’re afraid to now. Have the guts to at least tell Regan what you intend to do” I spat out.

He needed to stop being a damn coward and admit his stupid plan. I doubted Regan had any more patience than I did when it came down to it. I wished him luck though. He was going to need it.

Xander looked uncomfortable. Regan stepped forward, going to reach for his hand and Xander quickly yanked it away. He avoids her eyes. She bites her lower lip, a look of bewilderment across her face.

“Xander” Regan’s voice is shaky, “what is Xavier talking about? What are you intending to do?” she pleaded.

She wants to understand. But how can she, when I don’t even understand myself how Xander can be capable of doing such a thing? The mate bond should be so strong by now, that severing it would be excruciating, possibly even fatal.

My brother finally meets her gaze. For a moment he looks torn, his expression haunted. I think maybe he’s about to change his mind and admit defeat. Regan sucks in a breath as he shakes his head, his eyes darkening and a look of determination on his face. Damnit. He was still going to go through with it. I felt like slamming his head against the ground, I was that irritable with him.
