Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 106

Chapter 106

Regan POV

As we headed onto the dance floor, I could tell how nervous Alpha Nikolas was. I thought the twins had been joking when they threatened him but glancing at him now, it was evident that he thought differently. He gingerly placed his hand on my waist and took hold of the other one, sweat beading on his brow could practically see him trembling as he tried to keep a respectable distance between us, and I fought back my laughter. The poor man was terrified of Xavier and Xander hurting him. Maybe he had good reason to, but I trusted that my mates had only been kidding. Alpha Nikolas was a good man and no doubt a good friend to the two of them.

“Alpha Nikolas my mates will not hurt you,” I told him sincerely as he began to lead, my eyes sparkling as I met his.

He continued to eye me in disbelief, his lip curling as he shook his head at me, a rueful expression on his face.

“You don’t know them very well then” he mumbled, causing me to look at him with more amusement.

The poor man sounded terrified. What had Xavier and Xander done to him in the past to warrant such a reaction?

I kept my eyes on the crowd, my eyes narrowing in on the mystery woman standing beside Alpha Kai, a champagne glass in one hand, her head thrown back as she laughed merrily, surrounded by a small group of people. Whoever she was, she seemed to be enjoying herself immensely and the attention that she was receiving. I studied her closely, trying to see if I had been right in guessing she was Heather Ramona. Alpha Nikolas followed my gaze and narrowed his eyes, also watching the woman, although he probably had no idea just who Heather Ramona was. His information about Alpha Kai had proved to be somewhat invaluable though.

“You think that’s her, that Heather woman?” he asked me quietly barely moving his lips so that he wouldn’t be overheard.

I studied her for a moment longer, watching the way she moved, the way she gestured with her hand and sipped at her glass of champagne. They all looked familiar to me and resembled exactly the way Heather used to do the same movements. “I think so. I don’t know. She moves a lot like my stepmother and she’s the right height but with that mask covering her face it’s difficult to know for certain. If it is her though…” I exhaled and looked up at Nikolas, “then what? If she’s already marked by another Alpha, we can’t just apprehend her, can we?”

I was reasonably certain that it was not appropriate to do that at the summit, causing me to feel somewhat exasperated. It would be our luck that we found her here, of all places. Although if that was her, then we would know she was mates with Alpha Kai and what territory she and hopefully Isabelle were now living in. It was all we had to go on. It was better than the lack of leads we had in the past few weeks.

He shook his head. “Not at the summit. That would be a huge no no. You are not allowed to cause conflict here. Even if you have the right, you don’t have the right to do it here. Not to mention you will probably find that her mate will defend her. You might have to give up on apprehending her” he told me solemnly “unless you have proof she did an unforgivable crime. But she’s now part of another pack with new rules, which makes it difficult for you to do that.”

The laws and protocols were a pain in the ass, I thought to myself sourly. I was getting to the point that it would be far easier to just kill Heather Ramona myself, regardless of the consequences.

“She killed our friend” I hissed in anger, glancing over my shoulder and staring with hatred at the woman. “She’s the reason he’s dead. She put our Alpha under a spell. That should be enough to get her” I said, tightening my lips.

It should be enough to execute her. But we also needed Isabelle’s location. Xander was going crazy wondering what had “happened to his baby. I tried not to wince as the familiar pain of that reminder swept through me. I constantly had to remind myself it wasn’t his fault. I wasn’t some sort of saint. I could still feel betrayed without taking it out on him. Still, it was painful at times.
