Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 157

Liam POV

“How did it go?” I asked leaning back in my chair and regarding Autumn steadily.

Both women had made it back to the pack house without incident and I had half expected Fiona to come rushing in to show me what she had gotten while out shopping, but she had simply walked upstairs without a second glance at me, causing me to wonder what was wrong. Her pallor had been extremely pale and instead of looking happy, she had looked miserable. I instinctively knew something bad had happened.

Autumn sighed. “It didn’t go the best. I’m not supposed to tell you this but…” she trailed off as I leaned forward in my chair and regarded her.

I needed her to inform me of what went down at the mall. It was one of the reasons I had sent her to keep a close watch on my mate.

She looked down at her hands and gave a dramatic sigh, looking hesitant. “I feel as though I’m breaking the bonds of friendship,” she said lowly “but while we were out at the mall, we ran into her sister Celeste,” she admitted with a look of disgust on her face.

Celeste. The girl who had tried to drug and then seduce me back at Fiona’s old pack on her birthday no less. It had been tantamount to rape and I had not forgotten her or what she tried to do to me. I had kept all of this from Fiona, not wanting to make her upset. Besides, what harm would it do if she didn’t know? Now I knew that I might have made an error in judgment from the way that Autumn was eyeing me. Did she somehow know? Is that why Autumn looked so mad at me?

“So, what did Celeste do? Did she say something to upset Fiona?” I growled.

I had to get to the bottom of this and find out what had upset my mate so badly. Fiona had not even looked at me when she got back and both my wolf and I were upset by this. I thought our relationship was going well even if we had not quite reached the stage of being intimate.

I should have gone with them. I hadn’t thought she would run into her sister though. What rotten luck it had happened today of all days. Celeste certainly had the most horrible timing.

she cared about the fact she was responsible

even informing Fiona’s parents would do much good. The boy was dead. They favored Celeste and it would be our word against hers. It would only result in a further mess. I sighed, wishing that Autumn might have recorded the conversation but it wouldn’t have occurred to her until it was too late. I would delve into this, I vowed and try and find some proof in order to indicate Celeste was

That was my fault, I had to admit. I had been rash in killing him but at the time my anger had gotten the best of me. He had been trying to harm my mate
