Rejecting The Alpha Twins (Regan)

Chapter 46 Regan POV

I woke up feeling groggy, running a hand through my hair, tired and feeling beyond exhausted. I staggered to the bathroom, barely registering the broken door on the ground in my room, quickly doing my business and then washing my hands. As my eyes rose to look at myself in the mirror my eyes widened in shock as I looked at my hair. While my hair had been a lovely gorgeous earthy brown colour, there now remained a single large white streak down one side of it, causing me to look at it in shock. My hair had changed and I felt as though knew why that might be.

1 frowned, remembering that before I had gone back to sleep, I ad shifted into my wolf. It had seemed like a dream or maybe a nightmare would be a more accurate description. The pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. Excruciating, I had been grateful, if not angry, for my mate's prefence as they took some of the pain from me, doing their best to calm me as I shifted before my birthday. My wolf had been pure white, I remembered distantly, a crease in my forehead as I turned away and walked into the room, changing my clothes absently and then heading slowly downstairs, but the only thing I remembered before darkness consumed me was a name that had entered my very consciousness, ringing in my mind and louder than if it had been shouted. "Snow."

A fitting name for a white wolf, I thought slightly amused by it.

I began to head downstairs. I was still angry with both of my mates. So angry that I refused to let them touch me while I was in my wolf form. I blamed them for my early transformation, for taking me away from my mother in the meadow. It seemed that all I did lately was blame them for my unfortunate circumstances. The more they tried to get close to me, the more I pulled away and the angrier I got. I reached the kitchen and began to grab some food, wandering out to the front of the pack house and blindly heading onto the grounds, munching on a banana and idly looking towards the forest.

Would it be so bad to shift back into wolf form and go for a run solo? Isn't that normal once you've shifted? It was everybody else did when they changed. Usually, it wasn't because they had been marked early though.

Don't get ahead of yourself. Your anger is driving you to cast distance between yourself and your mates. What they did was not the kindest thing, but it saved your life and it saved mine. Snow's voice was quiet but also firm. I jolted, not used to hearing another voice inside my head and feeling unaccustomedly warmed by the thought of having a friend, one that I could reach whenever I needed to. Already it seemed as though Snow and I were in tune with one another.

Do you think I'm being too harsh on them? I asked her, feeling curious and also wondering what she might say from her perspective.

I think that you're letting your anger get the best of you. Your shift was unavoidable, and your birthday is in two days. You shifted only a few days early. Your mates are suffering from the coldness that you continue to show them.

I never said that I accepted them as mates I told her silently, even as Snow sighed in resignation.

Whether you like it or not, those boys are your mates and mine. They would go to hell and back for you. It would not kill you to just let them in, even a little. Put down your walls Regan. You're only hurting yourself she advised me.

I was indignant. Those walls kept me safe. Was Snow demanding that I just forget everything they had done to me? I heard footsteps behind me and tensed, even though I could now smell them, my nose lifting in the air as I smelled the delicious. scent of chocolate and mint. One of my favorite smells. My mouth began to water as I turned, meeting their eyes and feeling as though I had been struck hard with something in the chest. Mate. I felt the bond for the first time ever. I could feel the desire 1 had to be with them, as well as the longing from Snow to be with their wolves. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced before and now I understood why the boys longed to be with me and why it hurt them when I refused.

"Mate" I whispered, even as their eyes began to light up in hope that this time, I might accept them.

"Regan" Xavier looks timid, standing there uneasily, his jaw clenched as he fights his natural instinct to go to me, his breathing shaky. "We got worried when you left the pack house without telling anybody where you were going."

His voice is slightly admonishing, even though I have never had to tell them my whereabouts before. Was I expected to now for some strange reason?

"I thought I might go for a run" I whispered, even as my gaze cut to Xander, taking in how handsome he looked, the darkness of his eyes, the hardness of his jaw.

Both the twins were handsome. Annoyingly so. It made it so much harder to resist them.

How had I managed to keep away from these two for so long without going insane? My feet remained firmly planted on the ground even as I felt the inclination to walk up to them and feel their bodies pressed against mine. "That's only natural" Xander's voice is taut. "Most shifters want to go for a run when they've shifted but Regan..." He trails off and glances at Xavier who is worried.

Their scent is overwhelming me. I have to fight the urge to fling myself at them. I remind myself of how angry I am towards them, but the anger has faded away with the happiness of feeling the bond of my mates. I grit my teeth and then see the look that the twins shoot each other. They are hiding something from me. I can sense it.noveldrama

"What is it?" I asked confused.

"Your wolf, Xavier said hesitantly

Snow? What about her? She was beautiful and unique. Amazing I could hear her purring at the compliments. didn't understand their trepidation. Snow would be able to keep up with their wolves easily. Was that what was upsetting them?

"You have a white wolf Regan Xander's voice is quiet as he glances around.

There's nobody but us three outside at the moment. I frown at him, not comprehending what he's trying to get at. "I know that my wolf is white" I snap "Her name is Snow for heaven's sake. Shouldn't that be telling you something?"

Xavier puts out a hand, as though pleading with me. "Your wolf beautiful," he told me, and Snow perked right up, swishing her tail excitedly. "But we have to ask you to remain in human form and not shift for now" he added as I stared at him incredulously.

Was he insane? First, he and his brother bring about my shift and now he's trying to take that very ability away from me. I could feel myself beginning to seethe. What on earth is he or Xander thinking?

"Why not?" I asked, glaring at them. "You just said it's normal to go for a run when you shift."

"Yes, but your other packs"

wolf is rare. We don't want anybody in the pack to know that you have a white wolf in case it gets spread to the

"Who cares," I said in disbelief, dismissing their concerns. "I'm ready marked it's not as though someone's going to try and kidnap me."

"You're marked Regan" Xavier agreed with a slow look at Xander but not fully claimed."

Not fully claimed. What more was there to do than to mark and then mate... oh hell no. I shook my head in fury, "If you think you're going to mate with me, then you had better think again," I said in a deadly whisper "Because hell will freeze over first before I even so much as consider it." "Then you have to remain secret until you choose otherwise" Xavier's voice is firm "I'm sorry Regan, but it is for your own

safety."

I could just reject you, I thought, beginning to open my mouth, but the distress from Snow at the thought of rejecting our mates was so overwhelming that my knees buckled, and I almost fell. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I glared at them. "Snow doesn't want to reject you, but right now I can't even look at you. You're ruining my life" I snarled, turning around and stomping towards the pack house.

What use was a shifter who couldn't shift into her wolf to delen he pack? I felt just as useless as I was before and just as helpless. It wasn't a nice feeling. I cursed these mates of mine even as Snow tried vigorously to defend them. Ar this rate, I felt as though my life would have been far better off if I had singly been born as a normal human.
