Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Liam POV

I grip my mate’s arm tightly as we walk back onto the grounds and stare down at her in awe. She flutters her eyelashes at me, her expression filled with playfulness.

“Is there something wrong? You look as though you’ve seen a ghost,” she teased.

I laughed despite myself. “Not a ghost,” I murmured, “but a beautiful woman with a just as beautiful wolf. I can’t believe that you are an alpha.”

I was still in a state of disbelief. I had never expected to see that she had a black wolf, but with her parentage, it wasn’t as out of the norm as I thought it was. In fact, I was lucky to have a mate this powerful. She would outdo everybody when she came home with me. I was proud of her.

She bites her lip and looks at me nervously. “Is that a bad thing?” she asks slowly, “I mean, I know that it might be difficult with both of us having Alpha wolves…” she trailed off.

I look at her incredulously. She though I might have a problem about her wolf. I shook my head and quickly kissed her on the forehead. She smiled, melting against me and I wrapped an arm around her, keeping her close to me.

“The alpha ceremony should be soon,” she murmured.

“Do you think they will still go through with it now?” I asked even though part of me already knew the answer. Of course, they would. Regan and the other two men had not even blinked at Celeste’s behavior while something like that back at my pack would have immediately had her sorry ass flung in the dungeon regardless if it was her birthday or not. There was no excuse for vicious and malicious behavior like that towards another pack member, let alone a ‘guest‘ as Regan had the nerve to call my mate.

She gave a scornful laugh. “Of course they will. Didn’t you hear Regan back there asking me to forgive Celste for her little transgression? They’ll never change as far as she’s concerned?” she exhaled and shook her head in disgust. “She’ll always be the apple of their eye.”

I shift on my feet, feeling slightly uncomfortable. “Does that make you sad?” I asked tightly.
