Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 105

Chapter 105

Xavier POV

Alpha Kai was known to be quite perverse, even as an older age pha. He tended to hit on women of all sorts when he visited packs, and it was no secret that he was looking to take a wife. Unfortunately for him, most women were smart enough to see the despicable character he was underneath his false charade and either ignored him or quickly broke things off before things became too serious. I was therefore surprised to learn that the old geezer had taken a chosen mate, wondering at the woman’s character and feeling a pang of sympathy for her Was she perhaps new to Alpha Kai’s pack and oblivious to his salacious nature? Or was this something she had accepted and decided to use to her advantage somehow? It would serve the old coot right if he was being played by the woman he had marked.

Regan was eagerly craning her neck in a blatant attempt to see who was accompanying the man as he began to enter the function room, holding tightly to a woman’s hand as she stayed firmly by his side. However, the woman’s identity was unknown to us, for she had chosen to wear a mask that one might wear to a masquerade ball, a delicate black lace one, across her face, her dark black ballgown only adding to her mystery allure. I frowned, raking my gaze over the woman, taking in all of her details. Her hair was cleverly disguised beneath a small hat, hiding the length of it and she wore full- length white gloves on her arms. I tilted my head, Xander doing the same, both of us confused and more than a little bit intrigued. Why was the woman hiding her face? Was there a reason for it or was it simply a way to draw in the crowd?

“She’s beautiful” Alpha Nikolas commented from behind us, peering at the woman with a raised brow and a thoughtful expression on his face. “I wonder why she feels the need to hide so much of her face. Perhaps she’s disfigured?” he suggested brightening slightly.

Regan glanced at him, looking a little angry. “That’s not a very nice thing to say” she scolded him, and he immediately Tooked apologetic.

“Still, it’s strange” Regan murmured, nodding in agreement, “does anybody else think she looks familiar and yet not at the same time?” she asked, holding her hands out with a shrug.

“What do you mean?” I asked, glancing at her curiously.

This woman did not look familiar to me, but perhaps I had not studied her closely enough. I saw nothing of her that was alarming.

By now Alpha Kai and his mystery woman had disappeared into the thick of the crowd and the rest of us turned back to each other. Regan frowned. “I don’t know. I guess the way that woman walks or moves, it seems oddly familiar” she said shrugging and continuing to look slightly puzzled by that fact.

“Do you think it could be….” She murmured out loud and then shook her head, biting her lip. “No, I’m being paranoid. It couldn’t possibly be, could it?” she asked, glancing between me and Xander.

We were both lost. Regan’s thought process was somehow strange to us. She had a tendency not to finish her sentences, leaving us to fill in the blanks. A lot of the time we could guess what she meant but not in this instance. I shot a look at Xander, and he shrugged at me, looking just as bewildered as I was. I sighed. “Regan, perhaps you could explain what you are thinking?” I suggested with a smile to show I wasn’t upset or angry at her.

Most of the time I found this specific trait or quirk of hers quite adorable, even though it could be frustrating sometimes.
