Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 158

Fiona POV

I’m twisting my hair in one finger when Liam opens the door without fanfare and shuts it behind him, leaning on it and folding his arms over his chest, his eyes raking over me. I swallow hard, avoiding his gaze as he exhales,

“Fiona, I know that you ran into Celeste” he began and I scowled.

Damnit Autumn. This was meant to remain confidential. She had betrayed the girl code, although I could not blame her considering that this was her Alpha and he could have used the Alpha tone on her for all I knew. I sighed and forced myself to look directly into his eyes. I felt my resolve return.

“I did.” I said quietly and saw a look of regret cross his face. “Why didn’t you tell me that she tried to seduce you?” I hiccupped, fighting back tears. “Why did you keep it a secret from me Liam? Did you both…” I trailed off, but the expression on his face turned fierce and he moved towards me, grabbing me by both arms, his nails digging lightly into my skin.

“Nothing happened,” he said urgently, shaking his head and clenching his jaw. “In fact, it wasn’t seduction at all. She drugged me Fiona and then tried to have her way with me. Do you think that I was about to divulge that information? When I found you, I was more concerned about taking care of my mate than letting your parents know what their other daughter had been up to. I put it to the back of my mind, and I never thought about it again until Autumn came to me just now. Believe me” he said in a low growl “the only woman I will ever have eyes for is you. Only you,” he reiterated as tears came to my eyes.

“Then you should have told me,” I whispered, feeling his grip gentle on my arms, “instead of letting me be blindsided like that.”

It had hurt to think of him with Celeste and in that way, when we hadn’t even mated with each other yet. I was still hesitant about the subject but I also recognized that Liam wouldn’t wait forever. I bit the inside of my lip and regarded him steadily.

“I know,” he exhaled, his eyes filled with remorse, “and I regret it but it’s in the past now. Don’t punish me for a mistake that was made so long ago,” he pleaded.

I was punishing him and for what? Something that it turned out wasn’t even true? How could I treat my mate like this as though he was the enemy?

he stared at me in surprise, “I shouldn’t have let Celeste’s words get to me like that. It’s just,” I paused blushing and feeling embarrassed, “I was jealous that she might have gotten to you first. I know that’s not appropriate…” I trailed off as he let out another low growl and then kissed me, hard, right on the lips, as though trying to pu his mark on me.

me like no other. I sucked in a breath, my thoughts whirling a mile a minute. Was I being too stubborn, too frigid in not allowing Liam to mate with me? Did I even want to prevent it anymore? I no longer knew what it was I wanted, but as I looked at him, I began to realize the true depths of my feelings for him and they
