Twin Alphas novel Chapter 5

RHEA

The door to Jaden's study was suddenly pushed open and there stood Jaden. His expression was blank and his eyes were cold.

"You're not supposed to be eavesdropping, Rhea" he stated and I stared at him, gobsmacked. I let out a bitter chuckle, unable to believe my ears.

"I'm not supposed to be eavesdropping? Am I supposed to find out that I'm your mate this way? No, wait... were you ever going to tell me about it?" I questioned.

"Rhea" Jayden warned and I stared at him incredulously.

"So, what? Are you going to reject me? I didn't choose to be your mate!" I hissed.

He started to move towards me until he was right in front of me and despite the fact that my wolf was ranting about how gorgeous he was, I was annoyed.

"If rejecting you will make things easier for us, then yes I will!" He growled and I clenched my fists, my temper flaring.

"What are you going to do about it?" He demanded. It was clear that he didn't want me. Why would he? I was reminded of the horrible fact that I was alone and despite the fact that the Moon goddess had chosen me to be Jaden's mate, that fact still hadn't change.

I took a step backwards, then another. Jaden's frown vanished and he parted his lips to say something. I held up a hand to silence him, and his eyes darkened. I had probably just bruised his alpha ego. Nevertheless, at this point, I was past caring. I rushed towards the front door, angry tears filling my eyes.

"Stop right there," came his cold voice and I froze, my fingers still wrapped around the door knob.

"You disgust me, Jaden. I don't want to be anywhere around you," I said and he growled low in his throat. I shivered involuntary. My wolf was probably willing to submit, but that was the last thing on my mind.

"You have nowhere to go."

"I don't care," I responded, feeling the strong urge to run far away, to escape. I hated the feeling of total vulnerability and over my dead body, was I going to cry because Jaden had hurt my feelings. Without waiting to hear anything else from him, I opened the door and ran.

I ran down the alley and into the streets. I couldn't care less about the stares people gave me. All I wanted to do was keep running until I was too tired to do so. My breathing had quickened and my heart was pounding hard in my chest. Sweat rolled down the sides of my face and my wolf whined. She didn't like the idea of running away from her mate.

Who the hell did Jaden think he was? Just because he didn't want me, he was considering rejecting me?

I didn't know much about an alpha rejecting his mate, but I had a feeling it was going to hurt. I didn't want to feel that kind of pain. I'd gone through so much already, I believed I deserved a break.

I was so lost in my thoughts, I bumped into someone and almost fell. Whosoever he was, held my hand and steadied me. My heart sank when I saw his face. Staring right back at me with grey eyes that was so similar to Jayden's, was another werewolf. I could tell by his scent. He looked just like Jaden. The only difference was that, he wore his hair in a mohawk. There was an evil glint in his eyes that was absent in Jaden's eyes. His lips were curved into a smile when his piercing gaze met mine. "Easy, there. You should pay more attention to the road, miss" he said. His voice was husky but it also had a bit of a rasp.
