Rejecting The Alpha Twins (Regan)

Chapter 71

Xavier POV

I didn't expect the rogue to be so good when it came to fighting against me. I'm somewhat impressed despite the situation I'm currently in. However, the rogue isn't faring well. I've alreally bested him several times. He's in infinitely worse shape, blood pouring from his mouth and nose as he continues to glower at me. So far, his friends have restrained from joining in the fight, but who knows how long they'll prevent themselves frein interfering. Rogues are slippery and conniving bastards after all. They can't be trusted to keep their word. I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand, watching as Jet becomes hesitant to fight me. Now he knows the true extent of my prowess he's not certain that he can beat me.

"Well," I snapped "you wanted to fight to the death if I recall? Or have you changed your mind?" I snarled

"Wow, Jet. You're getting your ass beat good" another rogue mocked his friend, causing Jet's eyes to blaze with anger av he turned his head and faced him

"Shut up" Jet roared at him. "T'd like to see you do any better" he added in a hiss

I didn't care if they continued to argue with one another. The more they did, the more time the wolfsbane had to leave my system. They had evidently forgotten all about that. This was to my advantage. I needed the time and could afford the delays. I could already feel some of my strength returning to me. It was taking everything in me not to rush to Regan's side as the dirty rogue beside her continued to touch and hold her, forcing me to rein in my anger. He would be one of the first to die. I promised myself, staring hard at Jet as I challenged him to continue fighting.

Jei let out a snarl and lunged without thinking about it. Big mistake. He left himself wide open in his anger. My feet moved, almost dancing on the ground and I slid aside, punching him hard in the stomach and listening to the sound of his strangled voice as he choked. I followed it up with a hard kick to the throat and then gripped him around the neck, squeezing hard as his eyes bulged in panic.I had him right where I wanted him and it had been easier than I had thought it would be. I smirked, enjoying the look of terror on his face. He didn't look so arrogant now,

"Help me he coughed to his friends, clawing futilely at my hands

Any moment now he could shift unless my grip was so tight it prevented it.

I glared at them. They looked hesitantly at each other. Jet stared at them incredulously. My fingers tightened around his windpipe, intentionally cutting off his oxygen supply. I wanted him to feel the air slowly leaving his lungs. "Help me he wheezed.

"Let him go" the rogue holding Regan speaks, his voice curt.

I curse under my breath but know that I would never put Regangin danger by refusing to do as they ask.

her

The other rogues nod relieved they don't have to help by physically defending their friend. I feel frustration simmering inside me. I turn, keeping a wary eye on the other rogues. He stands, holding Regan by the throat as she stares at me, mouth opening, unable to utter a sound. I dropped jet to the ground, and he began to cough, clutching his throat. The rogue doesn't let go of Regan and I watch as her lips turn blue. Rage kindles inside of me. I had kept my part of the bargain, why hadn't he done the same?

"Let her go." My tone is dripping with venom. This man would die by my hand, for daring to touch my mate and make her kneel earlier.

The other rogue shakes his head. I clench my hands into fists. For the first time, my wolf begins to whisper inside my mind as it comes back to life, his anger also coming to the fore. The wolfsbane has worked its way out of my system completely. I stare at Regan, trying to communicate with her silently as she stares at me with wide eyes and a terrified expression on her face. I try to tell her to remain calm and not to be afraid. I was about to save us both.

Ishifted. The rogues are not expecting it. The wolfsbane has left any system earlier than they envisioned thanks to exposing

myself to it so often in training. I lunge at the one holding Regan and he drops her in sheer panic as he sees me coming towards him. I clamp my jaws around his neck and take him ond before he can shift, leaving three in the clearing and the Alpha of the group still unaccounted for. Regan grips her neck as I turn, standing protectively in front of her. Nobody is going to get near her, not again. I would not fail her a second time. These bastards were going to hell and I was going to be the one to send them there. Three rogue wolves stand there with gleaming eyes. I lunge at them. This time I'm going on the offensive. I slash one, jump over the other, and pin the third to free, viciously tearing out its throat. I move, turning back around. One is close to Regan who is backing away, I jump back in front of her, the other two rogues circling Damn. If they attack together, there is a chance they will take harm, Regan. I have to act and act swiftly.

Regan however has already moved backwards and is gripping a large branch in her hands, awkwardly standing and brandishing it. It's all the distraction that I need. I tackle one, slashing with my claws and furiously cutting across its midsection as it howls. Its guts begin to fall but of its stomach and I move, darting quickly back as Regan weakly attempts to thwart the rogue who is snapping its jaws at her and attempting to bite her. I land on top of him and pin him to the dirt with my strength. Regan hits him hard on the head, surprising me. The rogue is momentarily stunned and dazed. I use the opportunity to grab him by the neck and pull at it with my powerful jaws. The rogue's neck is severed from its spinal cord, 1 drop its head to the ground with a heavy thud. It's dead. Good riddance. I climb off and then glance at the other rogue. still alive but barely with its guts continuing to fall out. It will be dead momentarily which means that all of them but one is gone now. I'm unnerved. All the rogues but the Alpha are dead. Where is the leader, the Alpha? Had he abandoned his pack, his comrades! I stand guard, protectively in front of Regan, even as she lets out a sob and sinks onto her knees, looking at the bodies littered on the ground. I don't want to let my guard down.

She grabs my fur and begins to sniff. My eyes scan our surroundings. It's going to take a while to get us back on track. It looks as though we continued in the direction of our destination so that's lucky. I would have to confirm though. My ears prick up. I can hear heavy footsteps or paws thudding along the ground. A wolf slinks out of the shadows, its yellow eyes blazing. The infamous missing Alpha. The last of the rogues and this pack. Regan's hand drops from my fur. I tense as the Alpha slowly walks

We move. There is a head-on collision as Regan lets out a gasp. It's like hitting a truck directly head-on. I grit my teeth and push back, jumping lightly backward, I don't have time to regroup before the other alpha leaps towards me, only just missing me by inches as I dart to the side. He's fast and incredibly agile. Not surprising given the type of wolf he is. I slash. getting him across the face and he lets out a furious snarl. So far he's managed to dodge all my attacks but that one. This isn't going to be an easy fight. The other Alpha's eyes are gleaming as he looks at me. He tackles me and we wrestle across

The other alpha runs towards me. I turn at the last moment unexpectedly and kick out hard. I send him flying into the tree, his body hitting it with a thud. He falls, looking half stunned. Unfortunately, it hasn't done much damage, and he gets back to his feet. I snarl. He jumps and I do the same, meeting him in mid-air, making quick work of my claws in an attempt to get him across the chest. My claws barely graze him. I landed smoothly on the other side. The other alpha, Damien lets out a rear. My blood curdles as I see him head directly towards Regan who I have left unprotected. I move but already I can tell that I'm going to be too late. Regan's eyes widen as she stands there, the only thing in her hand the branch she's holding which is somewhat sharp on one end...
