Rejecting the Alpha Twins

Chapter 172

Fiona POV

“Stay here where it’s safe,” he instructed, and then before I could make a sound, let alone refuse, he was gone and racing out of the doorway, leaving all of us dumbfounded. Alpha Max was right behind them. Celeste cowered behind the desk, causing me to give her a disgusted look. For somebody who claimed they wanted to be Alpha, she certainly wasn’t doing her best to live up to the title. She was acting like a complete coward. Regan and the others abandoned us, also racing off to save the pack, leaving Celeste and me in the room together. Great. The last thing I wanted or needed. I expected Celeste to take off running as well in support of her parents and to help save the pack, but she just stood there, looking completely lost. What in the hell was wrong with her? Why was she acting like this? I knew she could fight because I had seen her training before. She wasn’t exactly weak, but that had been in human form. Now that she was an Alpha wolf, she should be even stronger, I thought dumbly.

“Aren’t you going to help?” I hissed, motioning to the doorway and raising my eyebrows as I looked at her expectantly.

She bites her lip and then shakes her head. “I can’t…” she stammered as I looked at her incredulously. “I’m pregnant, remember?” she pointed out.

As if that was an excuse when innocent people were dying. Sure, she was pregnant, but she could at least help the young ones to safety- do something. Even without shifting, there were jobs to do.

“You’re also an Alpha wolf, aren’t you? Is the loss of pack members truly nothing to you?” I vented. “You’re able to shift while you’re in the early stages of pregnancy. These are our people out there. You wanted the title of Alpha. Shouldn’t you prove you can perform the job?” I glared at her, unable to hold back my feelings. I had never been so disappointed in her my entire life. Even my own mate was out there fighting for the good of the pack and this wasn’t even anything to do with him. How could she just act as though this didn’t affect her?

said scathingly, “but if I lose the baby, then what will Alpha Max do? I don’t see you going out there,” she added darkly. “So how about you don’t judge me when you’re doing the same?” she accused,

I can’t believe you, Celeste. I always thought you were selfish, but this…” I gave a bitter laugh. “This takes the cake. Make sure you don’t leave the room,” I
