Rejecting The Alpha Twins (Regan)

Chapter 58 Regan POV

"There are two of you" he pointed out and my stomach dropped as he said the one thing that I'd been dreading. "Why don't one of you reject Regan and accept Isabelle? That way everybody is happy, and nobody has been wronged?"

No. No, no, no. The worst scenario that I'd been picturing or dreading had been laid out in the open, spoken about casually as though it was nothing, by Elder Dominick who stared at the three of us with a challenging glint in his eyes. He made it seem as though it was a simple matter, that rejecting one of the wins and sharing them with Isabelle was a matter of compromise and wouldn't result in heartbreak or devastation or loss. Had he never felt the mate bond for himself? Did he not know how it worked or how utterly heartbreaking it would be to do something as unspeakable as that? He was mistaken. 1 could feel myself bristling at the very suggestion, even as Xander and Xavier tensed. One look at Isabelle and I could see the bitch smirking. That was enough to fuel my anger. She was not getting her grubby little hands on Xavier or Xander. Not if I could help it.

"No" my voice is loud, carrying through the room and startling the elders who are not expecting resistance, least of all from me. "I refuse."

I couldn't possibly pick between the twins. I was falling for both of them, and I knew how they felt about me. Isabelle could

with another idea because this not have them. I didn't care what the elders were trying to pull. They would have to come up one was not going to go ahead. I would resort to drastic measure before I let them do something as terrible as what they were suggesting. "It is not up to you" Elder Dominick began to say in a huff, but Xander and Xavier are already shaking their heads in agreement with me.

"We refuse, they said in unison "Regan is the only mate for us."

"The elders will decide what is best," Elder Dominick said sharply, while the other elders glanced uneasily between each other. "For somebody who was so eager to reject her mates initially, you certainly don't seem so keen on the idea now," he said to me, as I stood and stared at him, my eyes narrowing

"I rejected the Alpha twins based on how they acted towards me before we became mates. I understand what a mistake that was now" I said evenly, looking at both of my mates, my eyes softening slightly. "Xander and Xavier have made a real effort to show me how much they have changed and I won't choose one over the other."

I couldn't.

"You shouldn't even be able to choose either one of them." Isabelle said with a sneer "They were both meant to be my mates!" she added glaring at us all.

Elder Dominick stroked his beard, looking thoughtful. "This is a conundrum. It's evident that Regan and the twins want each other for mates, despite the initial rejection" he turned to the other elders who were nodding, while Alpha Jackson listened intently, "and yet, there is evidence to support the fact that Isabelle and Heather Ramona have been wronged and their status lowered in the pack, which also must be fixed according to pack rules,"

"We can make reparations" Xavier spoke, glancing at me as I stiffened. "We are willing to provide her with money, with stocks, or even try to organize a match with another Alpha of a different pack" he suggested in desperation.

All of them were reasonable suggestions but I had a feeling that babelle would refuse. I just knew that she would not let go of being one of the twin's mates so easily..

Elder Dominick looked taken by that idea, glancing at Isabelle but Isabelle did not look as impressed, shaking her head and coughing.

"I don't want anybody else as my mate. I want the ones that were promised to me" she said, her eyes big and beseeching as she blinked at the elders, her eyes all shiny with tears. "Why would I want to marry a stranger? Why would I want to go to a

different pack when this has always been my home?" she asked with a sol

My hands clenched into fists. She was acting so pitiful, so weak and the elders continued to view her as though she was some sort of victim. I was feeling desperate. I didn't want to lose Xavior Xander. I could feel time ticking by and my heart felt as though it was beating loudly in my chest. My feelings towards the twins had changed. I could acknowledge that. While I wasn't exactly expressing out loud that I was fully in love with then, I wasn't prepared to walk away or be forced to choose one over the other. I gritted my teeth, glaring at my stepsister who stared at the elders.

Do something, my wolf spoke to me, her voice sounding distressed before they decide to separate us all. Isabelle will win if you don't do something.

What am I meant to do? I can't exactly go against an entire group of elders I told her silently, although it rankled how they were interfering in our lives.

Can't you? There is one action available to you that would prevent them from being able to do any of this. Stop hesitating unless you truly believe that you can live with only one of our mates, instead of the two that the moon goddess has blessed us with Are you crazy? Do you have any idea what the consequences might be if I do as you suggest? They'll kill me!

They'll be angry but anything is better than losing your mates, your other halves. Would you truly let Isabelle get her hands on Xavier or Xander? My wolf asked knowingly and that was enough to send a flash of fear through me.

anger They were my mates. Mine. Isabelle could not have them. Screw her. I had lived my life bowing down to her wishes and Heather's. I was not going to continue to give her what she wanted, at the detriment to my own life. I could feel my beginning to grow, my canines beginning to extend. The elders were muntering amongst themselves, even Elder Dominick turning his back to speak to his colleagues in a hushed whisper. If I was going to do something. I had to do it now while they were distracted. I turned and grabbed Xander who looked startled. Before he could move, I bit him in the neck, licking the wound closed, and then did the same to Xavier who stood perfectly still, the elders gasping and turning back, but by then it was too late. I lapped up the blood, feeling smug, while Elder Dominick glared at us, grinning widely at Isabelle who looked on the verge of throwing herself at me, her hands clenching into fists.

"What have you done?" the elder roared.

I straightened my shoulders and stared him straight in the eyes marked my mates," I told him icily. "You wanted me to make a decision, I chose, I chose both" I said, lifting my chin and regarding him haughtily "I no longer wish to reject either of them." Xander and Xavier were looking smugly at the elders who looked at a loss for words.

"You did that intentionally" Isabelle screeched, pointing at me.

I raised a brow. "Yes" I admitted unabashedly "because I'll be damned if I let you get your hands on either one of them" I snapped.

"Alpha Jackson are you just going to stand there while this disobedient girl disobeys us" Elder Dominick thundered. The Alpha raised a brow. "I believe that you were discussing punishments, and I admit, I don't think Regan has done anything wrong, other than return the marking that her own mates had already given her."

Elder Dominick looked furious. "It was done intentionally to go against us. You" he pointed at me as I stood there, refusing to be intimidated, "you will be thrown in the dungeon for your disobedience until we have agreed on how to resolve this and elevate Isabelle and Heather Ramona to their previous status and come to a conclusion that is satisfactory for everybody."

Xavier and Xander gave out low growls of warning, immediately adopting offensive fighting positions and pushing me behind them again. "Anybody that lays a hand on our mate will automatically have it bitten off" warned Xavier.

Insolence" barked Elder Dominick while Alpha Jackson folded his arms across his chest. "Do you also want to be placed in

the dungeon with her?" he asked incredulously.

It was chaos. The other elders looked indecisive, and I was feeling a strong urge to hurt Isabelle as she continued to sob and act like the pathetic weakling. Heather spoke up. "If we can't have the twins as Isabelle's mate then perhaps, we can come to another arrangement?" she looked pointedly at Alpha Jackson and the whole room fell silent.
