BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 55
Chapter 54
Xavier POV
As we walk onto the grounds, Regan’s eyes are lit with wonder, taking in the fairy lights, the large bonfire, the tables and chairs,
and the refreshments and food. Pack members are everywhere socializing; some are dancing with each other, while others eat
and drink. The omegas are walking around, and 1 quickly grab two glasses of champagne, one for me and one for her, while
Xander grabs one for himself. I hand Regan a glass she screws up her nose, looking down at the glass doubtfully. I remember
that she hadn’t had champagne before, let alone alcohol, and gave a small smile to myself.
“Try it I urged, and she willingly parted her luscious pink lips, sipping delicately at the liquid and letting it trickle down her
throat.
1 gulped at the seductive picture she made, willing my lower body not to react as I watched.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at me and Xander with a wide smile, “It’s fruity,” she exclaimed.
“We figured you were more of the sweet kind” I teased, and she grinned, taking another sip and looking around, her eyes
appreciative and her excitement continuing to grow.
“It’s so beautiful” she whispers, glancing around everywhere.
“May I have this dance?” I asked her, giving a small bow as she giggled and Xander glared at me, causing Regan to study us
both thoughtfully, her eyes twinkling as she considered what to do.
“You both may have this dance she corrects us with a grin, as Xander puts hers and his glass aside and I put mine down ona
nearby table.
We move a little closer to the bonfire, putting our hands on her waist, my body pressing up against the front of her, Xanders,
against the back, wedging her between the both of us. It’s insting, putting our mate in the middle, protecting her while also being
possessive at the same time.
God, she smells so good. My mouth is salivating while my wolf growling and groaning inside of my mind. Just being near Regan
is enough to make my wolf feel like it’s going insane. My hand moves up and down her ribs, lightly stroking them. causing her to
suck in a breath, while I can see Xander touching her hips and the small of her back with his hands. I nibble on one earlobe,
causing her to moan and Xander begins to kiss the nape of her neck, causing Regan to fling her head back slightly, granting us
easier access as our hands roam over her body, our desire for her surging to the surface, along with our wolves. It’s the first time
she’s let us touch her so freely and we are cautious, not wanting to take too much advantage, but enjoying the feel of our mate
and the trust she’s showing in the both of us. I meet Xander’s eyes, knowing he feels the same way. I grab her chin and kiss her
lips, moving my hand to pull her body in against me before moving back slightly, Xander pulling her so that she turns her head to
the side before he claims her lip as well in a possessive manner. She writhes against us, making me hard. I inwardly groan, my
eyes feasting hungrily on my mate. I want to do so much more to her, but I’m also very aware of the crowd that is watching
intently from the sidelines as we make certain everybody knows that Regan is ours without having to say it in words
She looks divine in the white dress she’s wearing. Her breasts are like perfect circular orbs, straining against the fabric and
begging to be kissed. Her skin looks as though it’s glowing underneath the moonlight and her hair lightly sways in the breeze.
She’s so beautiful. Like a goddess. I worship her, my mase, continuing to dance, the pack members watching from afar, my gaze
on her and only her. Her hands begin to roam on my chest, doing her own exploration and surprising me. I hitch in a breath, as
my wolf groans, enjoying the feel of her touch, as gentle and uncertain as it is. Not to be outdone, she stops and puts a hand on
Xander’s chest, touching him as his eyes widen in shock. We’re no longer dancing, but our mate is touching us willingly and
we’re not about to interrupt whatever spell she’s under. We’ve been waiting for this, for her to take some sort of initiative and
show us some affection rather than the continual rejection that she’s exhibited towards us. For once, Regan is acting like a mate,
like the Luna we have been dreaming of and it’s all we can do not to push her too far, even as we inwardly celebrate the change
in her behavior regarding u
“Slut” a voice interrupts and we all stiffen at the blatant insult.

Chapter 54
Who has the nerve to call our mate a slut, right to our faces? I grow furious, watching with disappointment as Regan’s hand
drops, stopping her exploration of my body. Damnit. My frustration is evident as I meet Xander’s eyes and turn to see none other
than Isabelle’s friend Claudia, standing there with her arms folded across her chest and glaring at Regan who looks taken aback.
“What did you just call our mate?” I growled, my eyes beginning to darken, along with Xanders.

that? You didn’t even have the decency to at least try and find another match for Isabelle to spare her the humiliation she
snapped.
“Claudia, 1” Regan began to say but Isabelle’s friend interrupted her.
“Save it, Regan. Isabelle deserved to be the Luna of the pack, not you. You could still make this right you know” she added,
folding her arms across her chest and staring Regan right in the eyes while Regan stared at her confused.
“Make it right?” she asked slowly, “how?”
I already knew what Claudia was about to suggest. I was not going to even contemplate such a ridiculous suggestion. “Don’t
even think about it. Regan’s not going to reject us” I hissed “and we are not going to take Isabelle back as our chosen mate. Get
that through your thick skull.”
Regan blanched. Claudia opened her mouth but another voice interrupted.
“Are you happy now Regan? Or will you only be happy once you have caused my death” the voice asked, low but clearly heard
across the ground as we all looked towards the source, only to see none other than Isabelle herself, being wheeled across the
grass in a wheelchair, looking pale and exhausted.
“Isabelle” breathed Claudia, springing forward to greet her friend and hugging her tight as the pack watched the scene unfold
with interest. “Look at you” she exclaimed, looking down and screwing up her nose “You’re so weak” she cried.
“I lost a lot of blood” Isabelle rasped, “and I still have to recover ask again Regan, will you be happy once I’m dead?” she
repeated, bringing everybody’s attention back to her “because I Gunnot keep living this miserable existence that you and your
mates continue to subject me to, simply out of a pathetic jealousy that no longer applies
She had everyone’s attention now. I stepped in front of Regan protectively, glaring down at Isabelle who looked as though she
was thoroughly enjoying herself.
“No one cares what you have to say, Isabelle, you are still banned from being near Regan and the pack house“I warned.
She was here to stir up trouble and I was going to make sure that nipped that in the bud right now, so that Regan could still enjoy
her birthday party, but fate intervened.
“We care what she has to say a voice cut out and our eyes swung up to see clearing.

Chapter 55
Regan POV
Isabelle looks pitiful in the wheelchair. The elders stand there, looking at the girl, some with sympathy, while Xander and Navier
cast scathing glances at her. I can feel myself beginning to tremble, as the elders wait for the Alpha twins to speak. The elders
are earlier than anybody expected them to be. We tight we might have a few more days at best, but that looks as though we
were wrong. Dead wrong. Had Isabelle had some knowledge they were here and that’s why she had started to stir up trouble?
“Elders” Xavier bows his head respectfully thwards the small group that are clustered together in front of us. “Forgive our
rudeness. We were not expecting you to tum up quite so soon.”
“That is evident,” the man at the front, with a large bushy beard and white hair said with a snort and a look of disapproval on his
face. However, that is no excuse for how this girl is now being treated. It’s obvious that she is unable to cause any trouble. in the
condition she is currently in and yet you are treating her with hostility, as though she is some sort of enemy. What exactly are you
celebrating?” he asked, tilting his head and regarding the Alpha twins silently, a questioning expression on
his face.
I can feel myself glancing at the twins as my anxiety begins to grow. I am afraid of the elders. They intimidate me. They have the
power to abolish packs if they choose to. The pack is silent as everybody waits for the twins to speak up. Alpha Jackson, or
rather the twins’s father is silent, watching his sons as they are officially in charge of the pack now and he won’t interfere unless
he deems it necessary. He trusts his sons to take care of this.
“We are celebrating our mate’s eighteenth birthday party sir” Xander speaks up respectfully, even as they continue to stand. in
front of me protectively.
This of course, only makes the elders even more curious, their heads craning as they try to look at me more closely.
“Who is your mate?” one of the elder women asks, their voices tinged with curiosity.
“I am,” I said quietly, shocking myself and the twins.
This was the first time I had openly acknowledged it out loud and to another group of people no less. I swallowed nervously as
the elders glanced at me, some of them looking at my neck and taking note of the twin’s mark on me that was visible to their
eyes.
“You are marked,” The first man said and then looked at the Alpha twins. “But neither of you are?” he raised a brow, looking
thoughtful.
Shit. That hadn’t occurred to me that could be a problem. While the twins had marked me without my consent, I was not about to
mark them until I felt like I was ready to. I clutched both of my hands together, wringing them, while Isabelle smiled viciously in
the background, a look of triumph on her face. She was enjoying this, enjoying our discomfort as the. elders continued to press
us for information
“No sir, that is for our mate to decide, Xavier said steadily, refusing to be intimidated.
“Dominick they are young, another elder said to the first man, her tone surprisingly gentle, “does it matter that the Alphas have
Dominick frowned. “Actually, in this instance it does, considering we are here to hear Isabelle Ramona’s case against the Alpha
twine. If she has been wronged, there is every chance that she could retain the title of their chosen mate as intended, if the
Alpha twins have not stuck to their word or broken a contract illegally.”
No. No way He had to be kidding 7 stared at the elders in disbelief, while Isabelle continued to gloat in the background, her smile
growing wider and wider. Xavier looked at the elders angrily. “You have no right to do that he snarled, looking on the verge of
attacking, his hands clenching into fists as I eyed him nervously, wondering if I needed to step in and prevent him.

“We have every right” Dominick countered back, sneering at Xavier and ignoring his clenched hands, as the other elders
nodded, shining awkwardly on their feet. “It is why we are the elders and why we are here. Not to mention oversering your
father’s trial as well” he concluded. “However, that is all something that can wait until the morrow” he added, glancing around at
the park members who were all staring hard at him.
If anything. Dominick looked pleased with the reaction he was receiving from the pack, as though he enjoyed antagonizing
everyone.
“I think that is an excellent idea” Alpha Jackson strode forward, Leaking up the tension and speaking quietly. “My sons are
celebrating with their mate right now. Please, allow me to show you to your accommodations he suggested as I tried not to
breath a sigh of relief that the chilers would be gone.
I no longer felt like celebrating my birthday, more worried about the elders and the so–called trials tomorrow as the Alpha shot a
glance at his sons, warning them to behave.
The elders sighed but nodded, looking grateful. Dominick glanced at the Alpha twins, his lower lip curling. “Very well. I expect to
see you and elle Ramona in the study tomorrow morning to discuss this matter, as well as Regan Lourdes. For now, Isabelle
remains at this party, like any other pack member, until this matter is resolved” he added as Xavier and Xander stood there
motionless.
“Thank you so much Alpha Dominick,” Isabelle’s voice is gleeful as we glare at her and Heather. “I appreciate your compassion
towards me”
Dominick inclines his head..“I hope that you are able to recover fully Miss Ramona,” he said gravely, glancing at Isabelle and
shaking his head “and that you get a good night’s rest in preparation for what you are going to undertake tomorrow
“I’m sure that I will,” Isabelle said, smiling cunningly at us as the elders began to silently follow behind Alpha Jackson.
I looked at the twins who were both clenching their jaws as they glared at the back of the elders. Both of them looked fit to be
tied, their frustration evident by the stiffness of their posture and the darkness that was brewing in their eyes.
“Xander” I put a hand on his arm and then turned to Xavier “Xavier, the elders can’t do that, can they?” I asked lowly, “They) can’t
make you take Isabelle for your mate if you don’t want to surely?”
L
Xavier looks guarded. “It’s unusual for an elder to show this much interest in pack business to begin with but if they rule that we
broke some sort of contract illegally, or wronged Isabelle in a way that is deemed to make it detrimental for her to ever be able to
make a match or pairing in this pack or subjects her to what they deem a threat to her existence, then they may make us do just
that” he said as my mouth parted in shock.
“It won’t happen,” Xander said, trying to sound reassuring “We were careful with the contract and how we worded it. Even though
we broke it. Isabelle knew the possibility that we would find our mate. Not only that but there are other ways to make things right
if the elders deem that we are in the wrong.”
But my heart was already beginning to sink as I looked at the glint in Isabelle’s eyes. She looked smug, as did Claudia. As
though she knew something we didn’t. I felt unc
“What kind of ways?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
Xander and Xavier looked at each other. “We can offer reparations, such as money, property, and stocks in our various
companies, Xander said quietly,
Looking at my stepsister though, I had my doubts that she would go for that. She wanted my mates, I could tell I gritted my
teeth.
What else?” I asked bitingly
Xavier hesitated and I knew I was not going to like what he was about to say. “One of us could reject you” he began as my wolf
began to fire up and my eyes began to blaze “and take her for a chosen mate while the other one of us keeps you.”

How could you decide something like that? How could I?
His tone was filled with despair at the very thought of doing something like that, while my anger was growing. Take one of my
mates from me? To only have one of them, made my heart begin to feel as though somebody’s hand was squeezing it from the
inside. The thought of separating the twins from me killed me inside. I had never realized how much; I had enjoyed having both
of them as my mates until right then. I would not let Isabelle get her greedy grubby little hands on any of them, I vowed, looking
her right in the eyes, no matter what I had to do to keep them. Even if it meant, I had to do something that would be against their
so–called rules and regulations. My wolf began to whisper into my ear, while I listened, prepared to give the fight of my life, if it
came down to it.
