The Alpha Twins Rejection
Chapter Twenty-One - Alpha Twin's P.O.V (Kane)

The savage fury that consumed Kane and me was palpable. Within the blink of an eye, we had found our mate, been instantly rejected by her and then humiliated by that fucking pup Zac and Alpha Miller. Zac was fucking fortunate that his father intervened when he did. Rayne was even more furious than I was. If that was possible. We had been prepared to rip his fucking head off the second he intentionally touched Ashley. Our fucking mate. Our mate. It sounds so foreign on my tongue.

I guess I didn’t have to get used to the sound I thought bitterly, or even think about the reason why the Goddess would have been so cruel to give my brother and me only one mate to share. We had been vehemently rejected, so we were back to being mateless anyway.

Rayne and I were what I would consider close brothers, possibly closer than most twins, but one thing we didn’t always see eye to eye about was sharing. It was our one weakness. The one thing we would always fight over. Was it supposed to be a joke that we were paired with only one mate?

If we had not have been rejected, I don’t see how we would have shared. Would share I corrected myself, not wanting to believe that was the end of it. Ashley had lived up to her reputation, far exceeded it I thought wistfully. She was the most stunning she-wolf I had ever laid my eyes on and ever would, I thought sadly.

She was tall, athletic, and had the most spectacular unique eyes I had ever seen and don’t get me started on her fighting skills. She was a knockout! 10 out of 10. A few mere moments before we were rejected, I thought I caught her eyes widen slightly with unbridled lust and smelt her arousal before she swiftly looked between Rayne and me. The look in her eyes hadn’t lasted long before her eyebrows knitted together, and she so spectacularly rejected us publicly.

Before today Ashley had never once met us nor spoken to us, so it made the sting of rejection hurt even more. She had never even given us a chance I thought sadly.

When she had promptly turned to walk away, even though we had been rejected, I could not help but let out a little sigh and appreciate the shit out of the site her retreating rump afforded. Ashley was smoking hot, and the sight of her elaborate tattoos made my heart race.

It took my frazzled, lust addled brain seconds to register the horrific scars that marred Ashley’s otherwise beautiful porcelain skin. It took me another ten seconds to recognise just how much blood her body was covered in. I turned to my brother and tilted my head “Fuck, do you see how much blood she has on her? Do you think any of it is hers?“I enquired via mind-link. “Did you see the way she savagely killed brother? I don’t think a single drop is hers,” Rayne replied smugly, with a triumphant look on his face no doubt at being fated to such a stunning and skilled warrior.

The corners of my lips turned up into a knowing smirk, but before I could reply, there were several gasps from the crowd that had us whipping our heads around. Our faces instantly fell. FUCK. Ashley had fainted. The blood, at least some of it, had to be hers.

Rayne and I raced for Ashley. Before we could reach her, Zac let out a loud snarl and suddenly was on his knees scooping her into his arms, observing him touching her intimately instantly set Hunter and Jax off into a murderous rage.

Zac turned to walk away withAshley, our fucking mate, which had us warning him with furious snarls of our own. With two Alpha’s challenging him, he was intelligent enough to halt in his tracks and turn around to face us. The prick, however, had a tormenting grin plastered on his face, and he pulled Ashley tightly to his naked body.

The offensive action had Jax clawing furiously at the edges of my mind. It was so tempting to let him come forward and take control. Being on a rival packs territory, it would undoubtedly be a death sentence though I thought bitterly.

“Put her down, pup,” I spat contemptuously, my raw anger almost at the bubbling point seeing Ashley in another man’s arms. Both Zac and Ashley being stark naked and her being hurt had seemed to make the precarious situation worse and only increased my ire.

“She is our mate, not yours” Rayne roared from beside me, nostrils flaring as he too took in the sight before us. Just as I thought he would put her down, Zac’s smirk deepened, and he started to rub Ashley’s unconscious body over his, making sure she smelt like him, no doubt to add salt to the already festering wound.

“Fucking make me assholes. Ashley is my partner. Was the public rejection not clear enough?” Zac snapped back with a cruel sneer set on his face before striding off. He didn’t make it very far before Alpha Millers massive frame came into view, ordering Zac to hand over his unconscience daughter.

The alpha command he laced with his voice left not one person pondering who the fuck was in charge here. I could see where Ashley got her fierceness from, I thought smugly. Her father was a force to be reckoned with I thought. I admired the man. That was until he brought all three of us down a peg or two with his condescending tone and very public speech. Fuck. He was pissed. Rightly so, I thought ruefully with a wince.

He was right. We shouldn’t be fighting over Ashley while she bled out before our eyes. What the fuck were we thinking? I thought in burning shame.

Rayne and I both let out ragged breaths and reluctantly decided to let shit between Zac and ourselves slide for now.

And then Alpha Miller asked Zac to hand his daughter over, and the asshole decided to slowly run Ashley’s unconsicience form seductively over his body, letting her naked form slide over every inch of his body while doing so. The fury that was rolling off Rayne and I was palpable. What the fuck did he think he was doing? He may be dating Ashley, but she was our mate, and he had no right to shamefully treat her like an object with such a public display of claiming.

“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, ZAC” Alpha Miller roared, snatching his daughter from his arms and sprinting away.

As soon as Ashley was out of harm’s way, Rayne and I allowed Hunter and Jax forward, shifting in a matter of seconds and lunging forward to slaughter Zac. There was no reasoning left in either of us. We had been humiliated too many times tonight, and Zac’s final insult was unforgivable.

Rayne charged forward, Zac twisted his body, spinning around in mid air and tore out a hefty chunk of Hunters coat as he went by. The dismal thought of Zac loving Ashley so much that he was willing to risk his life and go against not one but two Alphas almost had me appreciating the guy.

If it had not have been our mate he fought so viciously for I think we would have even admired the pup. But it was our mate so Jax and I went in for the kill. “I will not stop until his blood has drained into the earth,” Jax growled menacingly between gritted teeth. “No one touches our mate and lives,” He continued fiercely, drool dripping furiously from his foaming mouth. A violent shudder ran through me, I had never felt such strong emotions from Jax before, and this side of him almost frightened me.

I knew he would not hesitate to kill for Ashley, of that I was sure. In a sick kind of the way it was comforting.

Before we realised what was happening, Zac had disappeared from our grip and was thrown out of reach by a blur of sandy brown fur. It didn’t take long to recognise the newcomer to the fight as Beta McMillan, Zac’s father. Rayne and I both stood our ground and threatened him with matching menacing growls, but Beta McMillan stood his ground, returning our warning with snapping teeth and snarls of his own.

In no time, we were surrounded by Blood Moon warriors, all ready to aggressively defend and undoubtedly kill for Zac and Beta McMillan. We were not without our force though, as our River Run pack closed ranks behind them, promptly forming a formidable wall of destructive power around them.

Zac shifted back to his human form, stood up and looked fearlessly at Rayne and me with absolute contempt, I was sure he was going to continue where we had just left off, but much to our bewildered surprise, he turned and pushed angrily through the ever-growing crowd. The fucker had something we didn’t yet have, the right to see Ashley in hospital, I thought with sourly.

After the pathetic pup Zac had left, we impulsively decided to head to the packhouse to talk to Alpha Miller. When we arrived, we were informed that he was still at the hospital with Ashley and then were ushered into the conference room to wait.

“What the fuck are we going to do” Rayne enquired as soon as the door had scarcely closed behind us. I could tell he was just as anxious as I was. Today had not gone the way we had wanted it to. Never in a million years had we ever considered that we would be rejectedby our mate once we found them. Rejection was almost unheard of. I just hoped Ashley had good reasons to do so; otherwise, I didn’t know if I could ever forgive her for it.

“Speak to Alpha Miller about what happened tonight and take Ashley back, kicking and screaming if need be, to our territory. We will NOT reject her to complete the process, brother. Ashley is our mate, whether she likes it or not,” Rayne finally replied with a grim look on his face.

Neither of us would ever force ourselves onto a female, but we were not ones to easily give up on something we desired either. And Rayne and I both desired Ashley. There was no doubt about it.

We didn’t have to wait long until we heard loud footsteps racing towards the conference room and the door being thrown open viciously.

A furious Alpha Miller stormed into the room, closely followed by an equally angry Beta McMillan. Rayne and I rose from our seats and met them halfway across the floor, our calloused hands unknowingly fisting at our sides, exposed chests puffed out in a fury.

“What do you think you two shits were playing at” Alpha Miller roared centimetres from our faces “Ashley could have bled out while you let your foolish pride take over,” He bellowed, making us both slightly wince at the harsh reality of his words.

“Once Ashley is awake, we are taking her with us,” I said through gritted teeth. I swear you could have heard a pin drop. The colour in both Alpha Miller and Beta McMillan’s anxious faces drained. They hadn’t expect that but obviously knew that we were well within our rights to do just that.

Alpha Miller regained his composure quickly. “Over my dead body,” He said in a low, murderous voice wich had Jax foaming at the mouth.

Within seconds Alpha Miller and his Beta were against the wall, pinned by their throats by Rayne and me I.

“Fuck Rayne”, I said via mind-link, “We can’t go starting a war just because we are hurt by Ashley’s rejection,” I grunted. He turned his head slightly and nodded in agreement. We released the men and stepped back a few paces, allowing them room to breathe. “We need to calm down and see this from their point of view,” I said, “In a matter of minutes, there has been a major breach in their territory lines, bloodshed, Alpha Miller has found and rejected her mate, sorry mates, and Beta McMillan has learnt his sons’ partner has finally found her mate and knows it will destroy his son. It is a lot to take in. I suppose,” I huffed in frustration, knowing what I said to be the truth.

I genuinely thought Alpha Miller and Beta McMillan would have retaliated to being man handled but their demeanour changed quickly. Alpha Miller went stiff and then let out a very loud “FUCK”. He turned impatiently to walk out of the room but Rayne promptly grasped him by the shoulder to stop him. Just like me he wanted to know what was going on.

“One of our scouts have found a note south of the packhouse, just inside our territory lines” He said, carefully looking us both over before continuing “The note was from Alpha Dante,” he said, barely in a whisper. The name had Ryane and I both stilling, Hunter and Jax instantly fighting to come forward. “HE IS A DEAD MAN,” Jax roared from within.

“What does the note say? I asked curiously. “Alpha Dante has Zac’s mate,” He replied tersely. The absurd statement floored Rayne and me. “Zac’s mate” we said in unison via mind-link. It was news to us and obviously news to Alpha Miller and Zac’s father as they both held dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

“Time to replace Zac” Alpha Miller said before he raced out of the conference room. Rayne and I followed, not wanting to miss this confrontation nor the chance to replace and brutally kill Alpha Dante.

We would have to bide our time. When Ashley was stable enough we would talk to Alpha Miller again about Ashley returning to River Run with us.The thought of replaceing our Luna had me smiling involuntarily for the first time in hours despite the war that raged in my heart.
