Rejecting The Alpha Twins (Regan)

Chapter 97 Xander POV

3

The elders have granted our request to apprehend Isabelle and Heather Ramona, on the provision that we don't kill Isabelle until the baby is born. We've agreed and the search is on, but I fear it's already too late. Heather isn't stupid, neither is Isabelle. It feels as though the two of them have nine lives. I exhale slowly, looking over the grounds, my hands clenching into fists, my heart giving a pang. I just want to be alone. While my mate has been trying to comfort me, part of me can't burden her with my worries, and my feelings without feeling immensely guilty. Especially now that I have come to a decision. It wasn't an easy one either, but I know that it's the one I have to make, even though it's slowly killing me inside.

"We'll find her" Xavier's voice comes from behind me and somehow I'm not surprised to hear it.

He knows me better than anyone. Always has. We have this special bond between us, that only twins can feel. I've never been able to hide anything from him. He's always known where to find me. I glanced at him, clenching my jaw. "It's too late," I said with resignation, "she's gone now Xavier, and so is my baby

My baby. I still struggle to comprehend it. Isabelle had engineered her pregnancy, a form of revenge against me, and now it was all I could think about. What was she doing with the baby? Where had she gone? Was she keeping the baby? Would I find the baby before Isabelle did something to harm it? Questions constantly ran through my mind, and I had no answers. I felt more frustrated than ever. I couldn't burden Regan with this. She was already feeling badly about this and hurt. I couldn't hurt her more with my selfishness and my desire to know more about it.

I felt Xavier slap me on the shoulder, hard, causing me to turn my head and glower at him. That had hurt. He no doubt had intended for it to.

"I've never known you to be the type to feel sorry for yourself," he said narrowing his eyes "what happened to the steadfast, stoic Xander who always insists there's a solution to every problem, you just have to find it?" he asked loudly, eyeing me in disbelief. Out of the two of us, I had always been the one to plan, the smarter one, rather than the warrior like Xavier was.

"I was wrong" I snapped back, feeling as though I was on the edge of losing myself."I was wrong and stupid and naïve. It's better to accept reality. Isabelle is gone and so is my child. We're never going to find them. It would take a miracle. Even father's influence and resources won't be enough to lure them out of hiding" I finished tightlipped.

"So, we come up with another plan," Xavier said nonchalantly as though it was that simple.

Was he deliberately being obtuse? There was no other plan. I had been wracking my brain for days and I couldn't think of anything that would even remotely help. He had to be kidding me. I yanked his hand off my shoulder and gritted my teeth.

"What do you suggest Xavier?" my tone is dripping with sarcasm "what foolproof plan have you come up with in my absence?" I continued, feeling as though I was seeing red "because clearly you have a superior mind to mine."

My tone was malicious and dripping with venom now as I vented at him. If he had a plan I hadn't thought of I would be all ears, but I doubted he had thought of anything I hadn't considered.

"I'm not saying that" he countered back at me, looking frustrated "I'm merely saying that you need to have faith."

"Have faith?" I laughed bitterly "since when is having faith enough of a plan? Do you think the moon goddess is going to take pity on us and merely drop Isabelle and Heather Ramona out of the sky?" I glared and flung my hands up in exasperation.. "You shouldn't speak ill of the moon goddess" Xavier is quick to point out, looking up at the sky with an uncomfortable

expression.

Did he think the moon goddess was going to strike me with a lightning bolt or something?

"Are you kidding right now? We're talking about my child here. My unborn child. Who cares about the moon goddess? Screw her I screamed, finally losing my temper as my brother's eyes widened in shock "I don't care!!!"

I was having trouble caring about anything except this right now. Even my father had seen the difference in me and had been keeping my distance. Xavier was not as wise or maybe he was just more stubborn.

"Xander" Xavier looks lost "Regan and I are here for you. We've tried to be understanding but you keep pushing yourself away. Regan even tells me you're being distant with her. Why? You're mates. She wants you to be with her" he argued "and it would calm your wolf somewhat if you were to allow her to be" he argued disgruntled.

"I can't face her" my voice is low and filled with denial.

Xavier blinks, a look of shock appearing on his face. "What do you mean? Have you done something to Regan?" he asked, narrowing his eyes "something that I don't know about?" he added warningly.

I shook my head. I would never knowingly hurt my mate, Not intentionally. "No, but how can she bear to be near me, knowing that I'm searching for my child? She claims she doesn't care but I know her. She would lie in order to protect me from the truth. She's too kind- hearted to turn her back on me but she's also not ready to be a mother, not yet" my voice. hitched and I shouldn't be expecting that of her. It would be like dumping a child on her and expecting her to simply take care of it because we are måtes."

"What are you saying?" Xavier looked dumbfounded "what are you thinking in that dark mind of yours, Xander?" he demanded, sensing something was amiss.

I licked my cracked lips, wishing that I didn't have to say the words out loud, or that my stomach wasn't churning so painfully as I stared my brother in the face, feeling like a coward and yet, knowing that this would be the right decision for us all. He might be angry, but he would understand eventually that it was for the best. They both would, I thought, glancing down at the ground and feeling a lump in my throat.

"I intend to reject Regan" I admitted, looking back up and seeing Xavier's eyes widen in disbelief. "She deserves better. She deserves to have just you as her mate. I won't force her to accept a child that's not of her making. This way, she doesn't have to choose" I exhaled.

I had been trying to think of a fair way for everyone and this was the only solution I could come up at me for even daring to think of something like this, but there was nothing else. I had been blocking him for days as his

with. My wolf was angry anger increased, avoiding Regan as much as I could while I tried to muster up the courage to do it.

"You intend to do what?" Xavier exploded, caught off guard "are you insane?" he roared incredulously.

I winced. I had known he wouldn't take this well, but I had thought he would at least consider the implications. Xavier's hands clenched into fists. "You want to reject your mate? Our mate" he amended hastily as I nodded, avoiding his eyes. "That's what I said," I told him woodenly.noveldrama

He was acting as though I was enjoying it, when the truth was anything but. This was hurting me just as much as it would hurt Regan.

"You son of a bitch" he snarled "after everything she's done for us, all the sacrifices, all the care and attention she's provided, you're going to turn your back on her and walk away?"

She'll still have you" I reminded him, even as my shoulders hunched, and a sense of remorse swept over me.

I didn't want to hurt Regan, but I wanted to have her best interests at heart. My eyes pleaded with Xavier to understand. He was scowling as he raked his gaze over me. I had never seen him so furious.

"You bastard" he hissed, striding forward as I remained silent, refusing to take the bait "you lowlife, scum, detestable" he continued and then as I stood there, he raised his fist and aimed it directly at my face, smashing it into me as hard as he could.
