Chapter 48
Regan POV
I nibbled on my fingernail, feeling frustrated and confined. The longer I stayed inside my room, the more claustrophobic it felt.
There was no denying that I was restless, my mood growing larker by the second. I was beginning to resent the mates I had, the
pack I lived in, and for even being born a shifter. Such undeniable rage could not be controlled and the longer 1 continued to
stew, the harder it remained to keep myself from doing something reckless until eventually I snapped. The fact it had taken so
long was the only thing I was surprised by
Screw them all. They could all go to hell as far as I was concerned. What right did they have to order me to remain in my human
form? What proof was there that somebody else would go to such lengths in order to lay their hands on a white wolf? All I had
was their word and as far as I was concerned that was worth very little to me at the moment. I could feel Snow’s concern as I
suddenly turned and headed downstairs, my feet rushing, my heart thumping wildly. I had no qualms about try but I what I was
about to do, nor did 1 care about the so–called consequences. If they wanted to punish me, they could was done with these
games and with them trying to prevent me from living my life.I wanted to feel the rush again as 1 shifted, the wind in my fur and
the freedom to explore. I barely made it out of the pack house before I transformed into my white wolf, springing directly towards
the forest, my paws thudding heavily along the ground. I didn’t waste any making it into the safety of the trees and the shelter of
the shadows.
time
This is not the smartest idea. I’m sure your mates had your best interests at heart when they advised you not to shift Snow
commented dryly, shaking her head and making me feel a spurt of anger toward her
They only care for themselves. I’m tired of being told what to do what to feel, what to say, it’s like being confined in a prison cell. I
deserve to feel freedom, Snow. I deserve to be like everybody else, without being under somebody else’s control. Can’t you see
that?
They aren’t trying to control you; they are worried about your safety, she said primly.
I snorted. Where was all this concern when I was being beaten by my father or even when they were daring to lay their hands on
me? Suddenly they decide to become overprotective and I’m supposed to just accept it? As if the last few years didn’t happen at
all? They act as though I can’t take care of myself when I’ve been doing just that for years, without their help I might addl
Your mates love you. They are doing what they can for you, but you won’t let them in Regan. You keep pushing them away. You
even rejected them once already. Right now, they feel like they have to be extra cautious in handling you.
Of course, I rejected them. I snapped back. They have always been arrogant and until now, they have never shown an ounce of
caring for me. They might be sincere now, but that’s the mate bond. If we weren’t mates, they would be just as hateful and
condescending towards me as before and I would be in the same position of being abused as I was before. Don’t try and defend
them to me, Snow. They know all too well what their actions were like. I am not easily manipulated into forgiveness like you are. I
will not forget what they have done, simply because they are my mates. They have to earn forgiveness not just be given it.
Snow fell silent at the amount of anger in my voice, We careened into the forest, jumping over fallen tree branches and debris,
trotting along the ground, our tail swishing happily behind us. Everything was so much better when you were in wolf form. 1 could
smell the various scents of the forest, from the pinecones to the dirt and the mixture of old scents left behind by other shifters
who had gone this way, I smelt the fresh leaves of the trees and could see further into the distance as I made my way deeper,
feeling as though a huge weight had lifted off my shoulders. I knew that the Alpha boys would be angry I had disobeyed them,
but in that moment, I no longer cared. My ears pricked as I heard a scuttling sound and I tensed, only to giggle inwardly as a
rabbit came bounding out in front of me, its eyes widening in panic before it quickly rushed to scramble away from me. Even the
warmth of the sun on my back and through my fur felt pleasant
Iran. I ran so hard that when we finally stopped, my chest was covered in sweat, my fur matted, my breathing heavy. We had
covered a great distance in what I considered to be a relatively short amount of time, and it looked as though we were
remarkably agile and fast. I marveled at that, glancing over the cliffside as we sat on our haunches, looking over the pack, my
nose wrinkling at the various smells as I took time to rest and recover.

The pack looks so small from up here I thought absent–mindedly
Just because something is small doesn’t mean that it’s not powerful Snow’s voice echon/
my mind as I silently agreed with
het
Even the smallest of things could be the most powerful if given the chance.
1 could see the sun beginning to set. We had been out for hours, enjoying the feel of the wind in our fur. At one stage we had
even hunted down a small critter as part of a feast and I had let Show take over as we ate it, our stomach satiated from the meal
confrontation that would take place. I knew how angry they would be that I had defied them but part of me welcomed that anger.
At least they would know how it felt for once.
Either Xander and Xavier are distracted, and they don’t know I made it out here or.....
Nobody saw you dash to the forest, which is hardly surprising, considering we are faster than the average shifter. Nobody was
near the pack house, Snow supplied which means our mates didn’t know we were missing, or they didn’t know where we were.
We should go back to them, she suggested tentatively I don’t feel comfortable out here.
1 pouted, not wanting to go back. Come on Snow, just a little longer? Who knows when we’ll get out here again, I said
despondently. I had a feeling that the Alpha twins would make certain that I couldn’t get out so easily the next time, finding
myself feeling resentful towards the two of them once again.
I could see Snow open her mouth to reply before we stiffened as a repugnant smell hit our nostrils. It smelled so putrid that I
gagged, our body standing up and turning around slowly. Rotten meat and rotten eggs. The distinct smell of another wolf. one
that you did not want to meet in the forest on your own. They shouldn’t even be this close to our territory, but the proof was there
in the scent and smell that continued to waft toward us. I swallowed hard, knowing instinctively what we were about to face,
realizing what my recklessness had led to. Snow was not as panicked, remaining quite calm as she spoke to
Rogues. They must have picked up our scent. There is more than one of them. Move away from the edge of the cliffside Regan
and don’t let them back you towards it. Keep calm. They can smell your fear. Don’t let them see that you’re afraid. Keep calm.
I gritted my teeth. Rogues were wolves who had abandoned their packs and lived solitary lives, roaming the natural territories
between other packs. They also tried to take over a pack by force when they came in numbers or would kill and murder shifters
for food. We had been taught since we were small of the dangers. Heck, I had lost my own mother to a rogue attack. What were
rogues doing so close to my pack? I swallowed hard, my eyes scanning the surrounding foliage, my eyes widening slightly as
one, two, three, four, no more than five rogues stepped out of the shadows, their red eyes gleaming, snarls on their faces, and
froth foaming at the mouth. For the first time. I became paralyzed with fear as they began to walk towards me, their tails swishing
madly as they began to give me wicked grins.

I had never fought a rogue before, but I was about to find out how hard it was. As one lunged towards me, I jumped, leaping just
clear of it and rolling, before getting to my feet and making mad dash towards the forest that was in front of me. I needed to split
these guys up if I had any chance of surviving against them. Snow readily agreed with the plan. I could sense them as they
began to split up, hoping to take me from various directions. One jumped and I dodged to the side, pausing and kicking out with
my hind legs, sending them sprawling into nearby tree trunk. I winced as I heard the thudding sound they made and when I
glanced over my shoulder, I saw their head surrounded by a pool of blood. They were either dead or unconscious. Either way
that now left four rogues to deal with. Still not a great number but it was progress.
Two appeared directly in front of me. I swerved, halting in my steps. They growled as I began to hurriedly back away from them.
They began to circle me, their eyes glinting with satisfaction. I kept a wary ear out for the last two rogues who were still at large
even as 1 kept watch on these ones. They decided to tackle me from opposite sides of each other. I waited until the very last
moment and then rolled underneath their bellies, lashing out with my claws into their underbellies and dropping their guts as I
heard their wrambled out from underneath them, wrinkling my nose in disgust at the smell that lingered. I
heard their whimpers as they landed on the ground. I turned. One had fallen and lay on its side, its guts hanging out, but the
other one was only minorly injured and keeping its eyes narrowed on me. I had pissed it off now. I swallowed hard, mindful that
there were two other rogues besides this one to still fight. The one in front let out a ferocious roar and lunged towards me, but
before it could get anywhere near me, two large black wolves appeared from out of nowhere and tackled it, working in tandem to
rip its head from its neck and drop it carelessly to the ground. I flinched, knowing instinctively who these two wolves were as they
looked at me, snarling angrily. The Alpha twins were pissed and they were pissed at me. Rightfully so. I glared at them, refusing
to be intimidated just because their wolves were larger than mine. They snarled again and turned. gesturing for me to follow. I
hesitated, but Snow urged me to, the scent of the other two rogues still wafting towards us.
Their wolves are just as angry as their human counterparts are Show advised, so maybe you should keep silent until we get
back to the pack house so that you don’t anger them any further
I let out a low growl of frustration. The black wolves stopped, their ears pricking. Suddenly one of them glanced towards me, their
eyes widening slightly in panic. I moved out of instinc, dodging quickly to the side as a rouge came flying out of nowhere,
narrowly avoiding getting hurt. Xavier’s wolf, moved, making a ferocious roar, and lunged at the rogue, pinning it to the ground
and then clamping his jaws around its neck. He bit, hard, tearing through flesh and bone until the rogue lay dead, a look of anger
on the wolf’s face. There was still one rogue left. It was nearby, judging from how strong its scent became and I saw Xander’s
wanting to do the same and face the inevitable music.
“Shift” he snapped at me.
Better do it Regan, Snow told me reluctantly, before he uses his Alpha tone..
I shifted ungraciously, grateful to find I still had clothes on, whereas, I suddenly noticed absently, that Xavier didn’t and was
standing stark raving naked in front of me!
Xavier strode to me, his eyes blazing with anger. “What the hell were you thinking?” he spat out, grabbing me by the chin and
forcing me to look directly into his eyes
I blushed, trying to avoid looking too closely at him! very aware of a certain piece of his anatomy that was hard and sticking
slightly up while he seemed oblivious to it in his anger. “I just wanted to.” I stammered, looking anywhere but at him
“Exactly, you weren’t thinking” Xavier roared, looking fit to explode. “You could have died from your mistake. If we hadn’t noticed
you were missing if patrol hadn’t alerted us that there were rogues in our territory, you could have ended up dead, just like your
mother” he shouted incensed.
I stiffened. Now he had gone too far. He knew it too by the apologetic look he shot my way, his mouth opening hastily. “Regan, I
didn’t mean...” he trailed off, looking sheepishly at me
1 shoved him, hard, falling slightly back on my feet. “Yeah, you dad” I told him flatly. “I’m sick of being told what to do” 1

cried, folding my arms across my chest. “You think that because you’re the alpha you automatically get a say in my life? Because
we’re mates that I don’t get to choose what I want to do anymore?” I shook my head and poked him in the chest. “Wrong. If this
is the way it’s going to be then. I threatened ominously.
‘Regan don’t be hasty” Xander’s voice cuts in before I can finishe
1 glance over and my eyes widen as he jogs to me, also stark naked and oblivious, while my cheeks turn a bright crimson red.
Are they that unaware of how they looked or were they that comfortable with their nakedness? I bit my lip, glancing slyly down at
their member, unable to help my curiosity. They were huge! I felt my mouth go dry and hastily looked elsewhere, blushing
profusely.
“Don’t be hasty?” I said, holding my hands out and then noting both twins were covered in blood and looked exhausted. “I didn’t
ask you to come to my rescue. I was perfectly fine. I managed to kill some rogues of my own, didn’t I?” I snapped.
They acted as though I was some damsel in distress when I had been holding my own. I glowered at them, annoyed by their
constant complaints.
“I was impressed” Xander nodded, taking the wind out of my sails and making his brother glower at him. “You did well
considering you haven’t been training in your wolf form. But Regan, it’s dangerous to go out here and to be in this form. We told
you already...” he hesitated.
“Who cares? Who’s going to find out?” I said rolling my eyes.
They were being overly drainatic. But Xander and Xavier were shooting each other glances and silently communicating with one
another. “That’s what we were trying to come and find you for. So that we could tell you” Xander said patiently, as Xavier
tightened his lips and gave a sigh.
“Tell me what?” I said confused.
They made it sound as though it was something important, but what could be that important they had to come looking for me. I
frowned.
“The elders are on their way here. It seems your stepsister and stepmother have contacted them, claiming they were mistreated
by your father and abused. They want to be reinstated with full perks, meaning access to the pack house again” Xander
explained quietly.
“No” 1 shook my head, almost laughing incredulously at them. “No way. My father never laid a hand on them” I refuted. Isabelle
and Heather were anything but victims. I was filled with rage that they even dared to declare themselves one. “Can you prove it?”
Xavier’s voice was sharp as he eyed me closely
I fell silent and bit my lip in chagrin. I couldn’t attest to being by my stepmother or stepsisters‘ side one hundred percent of the
time and the twins knew that. I gritted my teeth: “No, but you know this is ludicrous and just a way to get what they
want.“:
This was just another powerplay by Isabelle and Heather in order to manipulate the elders into giving them what they wanted
Anybody with half a brain could see that,
They had always been cunning and manipulative. Xinder looked sympathetic. “We know, but they are also going to be putting
our father on trial, for killing our mother. Which means he paused and his eyes moved directly to gaze into mine, his expression
changing to one that was beseeching “we need you to testify Regan. We need you as a witness because otherwise, they might
convict him of something he didn’t do.”
No wonder they looked so stressed and frightened, instead of the confident, arrogant bastards they normally were. For the first
time in a long time. I looked at the Alpha twins and felt something more than just hatred and anger towards them. I felt sympathy
and compassion. I would be their witness, not because they were my mates, but because it was the right thing to do. Unlike
them, I wouldn’t turn my back on a person who needed my help. It was a shame that not everybody had the same kindness in
their heart that I had.
