Rejecting Her Twin Alphas Novel Free by Azrael Meow

Thank You

Amber



 I wake up to Skylar snoring in my ear. I am in his arms, and he is fast asleep. The hospital moved me to a larger bed so the twins could sleep with me and speed up my healing. For a moment, I stare at Skylar. We have been nothing but resistant to one another. But slowly, I am finding myself coming around on him. I don’t want to say I love Skylar, but I care about him. I slowly unwind myself from his arms and lie on my back. 

 Tyler is up against my other side, but he isn’t snoring. I turn my attention to him. I wish I could say that I love him as he loves me. My heart and mind are still confused about how to feel about the twins. Even after everything that Grandma told us. I know it’s my destiny, but part of me wants to run away from it all. 

 ‘You can’t run away from who you are,’ Lilith says.

 ‘I don’t know who I am, Lilith,’ I respond to her. ‘Everyone keeps telling me who I should be that I don’t know if it’s what I want.’

 ‘What do you want, Amber?’ She asks after a moment of silence.

 ‘I wish I knew,’ I reply.

 ‘Listen to your heart,’ She muses.

 I sigh and sit up on the bed. The wound on my stomach feels infinitely better, and I wish I could get out of bed. 

I am tired of lying here. The twins shift in their sleep. I slowly slide out of bed, and they both remain asleep. 

 I find a pair of my shorts to put on and then grab Tyler’s t-shirt and slip out of the room. The nurse’s station is mostly dark, and I notice one person sitting still at the desk. They don’t notice me, so I continue down the hall. I hear a sigh as I pass a room and see Savannah sitting up in a bed.

 “Amber,” She loudly whispers at me, and I freeze.

 I grin and poke my head into her room, “Hey, Savannah.”

 “What are you doing?” She snorts. 

 I cringe as I look at her bruised face. I had heard her mate assaulted her. 

 “It looks horrible, doesn’t it?” she touches her face.

 “No, well, yeah,” I confess. “It’s terrible that anyone could do that to their mate.” I step towards her and hear a snore. Juli is sprawled on a couch, snoring away.

 “My mom won’t leave my side,” Savannah chuckles.

 “Oh, I don’t want to wake her,” I turn to leave the room.

 “She won’t wake up,” Savannah mentions. “Why are you wandering around the hall?”

 I tiptoe toward the bed and sit on the edge. “I am tired of lying down. I am not used to sitting still for so long.”

 “I know what you mean,” She mumbles. “He broke ribs, among other things.”

 “I knew he was bad news. All his family is,” I tell her.

 “Skylar says that your uncle doesn’t like Oliver’s uncle,” Savannah states.

 “No, he doesn’t,” I nod.

 She sighs, “Why?”

 “My uncle sent the Squad there several years ago,” I say while she listens intently. “Anyways, he was appalled at how Alpha Timmons treated his pack. 

He lives in an opulent palace while most of the pack starves. His omegas are slaves, and he beats them over the slightest infractions.

 Savannah sniffles, “I had a bad feeling about Oliver almost from the moment we met.” She shakes her head, “Aja was afraid of him right away. She just cowered.”

 “Yeah, Uncle Henry has been investigating that pack for years,” I sigh. “I hope to the gods you don’t have to go there.”

 “I’m not going,” Savannah folds her arms. “Dad says I don’t have to. I am going to reject Oliver.”

 “Good, you don’t deserve someone like that,” I tell her. “You can take back the twins,” I chuckle.

 Her eyes narrow, “Amber, you know I can’t do that. You and the twins belong together.”

 “But- “

 “I love them. I always will. But it’s the kind of love I have for my brother,” she explains. 

 “I wish I knew how I felt about the twins," I state. 

 “I know you think you have your life planned out, but it rarely ever works that way. Our plans rarely mean anything.”

 I hate how right she is. 

 We are silent for a moment as her mother snores. Juli makes little squeaks in her sleep, also.

 “I bet my dad is happy to have a night without that,” Savannah laughs.

 I look her over, “Did he- “

 She nods, “Yes, he did. Luckily, Mom and Luna Sheila heard me. Ethan and Dad burst into my room, and the rest is sort of fuzzy after that,” She explains.

 “I heard Richard beat the shit out of Oliver,” I tell her.

 She smiles softly, “I want to be rid of my bond with him. My wolf feels the same way I do. Aja says Cash keeps trying to contact her, but she refuses to speak with him.”

 “Wolves are funny sometimes,” I state.

 ‘You are the funny ones,’ Lilith huffs. 

 I roll my eyes, and Savannah laughs, “Yeah, Lilith didn’t like what I said.”

 Savannah throws her blanket off, and I see the extent of her injuries. She is covered in wounds and scratches. “That son of a bitch, Amber.”

 “What are you doing?” I ask as she swings her legs out of bed and tries to stand. 

 “I am going to reject Oliver now,” she declares.

 “He’s in the cells,” I tell her.

 “Yeah, I know,” She smirks.

 “Okay,” I sputter as I help her stand. “This is crazy.”

 “I need to face him, Amber. I need to look him in the eye as I do it,” She hisses and stumbles. “Fuck,” she holds her ribs. 

 Juli snores and shifts in her sleep but doesn’t wake up.

 “Mom could sleep through a plane crashing in a tornado,” Savannah jokes. “Hand me that shirt,” She points.

 I help her get dressed, “So, how are we going to get into the Cells?”

 “I know my dad’s codes to the keypad,” She replies.

 “Right on,” I nod. “I am going with you, then.”

 “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Savannah laughs.

 We slowly sneak out of her room and look down the hall. There is one woman asleep on the desk as we walk by. We both sigh with relief when we get outside. 

 The air is cool as we head toward the cells. It isn’t very far from the hospital, but it takes a while to walk with our injuries. I am hurting by the time we reach the door. There isn’t anyone around as Savannah inputs a code. 

 We both grunt as we open the door. There is one guard sitting at the front desk. He looks up from his phone, “What are you two doing here?”

 It’s a guard I haven’t met yet.

 “Open the door, Charlie,” Savannah says in a deeper tone of voice.

 I assume it’s her beta tone and wonder if it will work.

 Charlie pushes the button with a nod.

 “Hmm, that worked,” I snort.

 “Help us with the door, Charlie,” Savannah orders him.

 Charlie rises from the desk and holds the door open for us. He says nothing as we hobble past him. Savannah sniffs the air as we step onto the metal grating. 

 The smell of mildew and blood hangs in the air with a hint of wolfsbane. I shudder as the door closes behind us.

 “He’s this way,” Savannah says and starts down the hall.

 I silently follow her feeling the eyes of the prisoners on us. I stop at one cell and peer inside to see Cal inside. 

He opens his blue eyes, and we stare at each other momentarily. The outcome of the events between us saddens me. I truly liked him. 

 “Amber,” Savannah calls to me.

 I turn away from Cal and follow Savannah. The corridor seems longer than I remember. We finally stop at a cell. Savannah peers inside and takes a deep breath.

 “How do we get in?” I ask as she puts in her father’s code. “Right.”

 She says nothing as we struggle to open the heavy door. My belly aches, and I know I am pushing myself again. We step into the cell, and Oliver is chained to the wall. His head lulls to the side, and I see just how badly Richard beat him.

 His head slowly lifts as Savannah approaches him. “You,” He hisses.

 “Yes, me,” Savannah states. “I waited for you. I had been so excited to find my mate, and then I met you.”

 Oliver stares at her with a scowl.

 “But I am going to be free of you,” She states firmly. “I, Savannah Harper Grant, reject you, Oliver Hudson Timmons, as my mate,” she says, and Oliver screams with rage.

 “You whore,” He curses. “I will not accept your rejection. You are mine. Even in death, you will be mine.” He writhes on the chains and looks at Savannah with fear. “Why do I feel the bond breaking? Why is my wolf howling?”

 “You raped her,” I add. “You treated her badly. So, the Goddess is severing the bond without your acceptance.”

 Savannah glances at me, “How did you know that?”

 I shrug, “I don’t know. It just came out of me.”

 “You stupid fucking bitch!” Oliver pulls against the chains. 

 Savannah steps back, and I go to punch him.

 “Amber! Savannah!” Victor suddenly yells from behind us.

 “Savannah Grant, what are you doing here?” Her father, Richard, squeezes in beside Victor.

 “BITCH!” Oliver roars, and Richard rushes forward and grabs his throat.

 “What did you say?” Richard growls. “Do I need to beat you again?

 “I rejected him, Daddy,” Savannah tells her father. 

 “Honey, you could have done that in the hospital,” Richard lets go of Oliver. “Make one move, and I will snap your sorry neck,” He hisses at Oliver.

 “No,” Savannah stands tall, “I needed to do it to his face.” She turns to me, “Thank you.”

 I clasp her hand, and we smile at each other, “Sisters.”

 “Sisters,” She nods in agreement.

 “You both need to return to the hospital,” Victor growls.

 We step out of the cell hand in hand and I start to feel pain from my wound again. Savannah staggers, too, and grabs her abdomen. Richard wraps his arm around her, and she leans against him.

 I let go of her hand and saunter behind them while Victor slams the cell door. I stop by Cal’s cell again, and he stares at me.

 “I am so sorry, Amber,” He speaks. “I didn’t mean for things to end this way.”

 I stare at him for a moment until Victor nudges me to keep moving. “What’s going to happen to him?” I ask.

 “Your uncle volunteered to take him to Shadow Winds,” Victor states.

 “Really?” I look back and wonder what Uncle Henry will do with Cal.

 We step out of the cells and the twins are there with my father and uncle.

 “Amber,” Tyler pulls me into his arms. “Why do you keep doing these things? You aren’t going to heal.”

 “Savannah wanted to reject Oliver,” I tell him as he releases me. I look at my father and hang my head, “Sorry, Dad.”

 “You aren’t sorry, Amber,” He laughs with a shrug. 

 I glance at Skylar, and he is just silently staring at me. “Go ahead and say it,” I say to him.

 “Say what?” Skylar scoffs.

 “Whatever you are harboring, Skylar.”

 “I’m not harboring anything, Amber,” He shakes his head.

 I look towards Savannah. She is leaning against her father. “You can have Savannah back now.”

 Skylar looks at her.

 “No,” Savannah shakes her head. “I need to leave Nightstar for a while,” She mutters. “I don’t know where I will go, but I just have to go.”

 “I don’t want you to go,” I tell her. “You can have Skylar.”

 “Amber,” Victor mutters. “You remember our deal?” He lifts an eyebrow.

 “What deal, Dad?” Tyler interjects.

 “You can come to Shadow Winds, “Uncle Henry speaks up. 

 “I want to go to school,” Savannah responds.

 “We have a lovely college if that is what you are looking for,” Uncle Henry smiles. 

 Savannah smiles back and looks at Richard, “Can I go, Daddy?”

 Richard looks at Victor and then nods, “If that is what you want, Savannah.”

 “It’s what I want, and Aja seems to be on board with it.”

 “I hate to see you leave,” I say to her. “But it’s not like I won’t ever see you again.”

 “Well, of course not,” Savannah smirks.

 “Okay, well, let’s get you both back to bed,” Victor huffs.

 The walk back to the hospital is long and painful. I lean against Tyler. He says nothing. Skylar keeps glancing at me. I wish he would say it.

 We stop right at the door of the hospital. “We’ll be right in, Dad,” Skylar tells Victor.

 Victor frowns, “Son- “

 “I would like to talk to my mate,” Skylar says while looking at me.

 Victor shrugs.

 “Amber?” My dad gazes at me.

 “I’ll be fine, Dad,” I assure him.

 He rubs my shoulder and follows the others into the building. I stand awkwardly, looking around while the twins tower over me.

 “I know you think I hate you,” Skylar says.

 “I don’t think that,” I say without looking at him.

 “Look at me,” He demands.

 I struggle but finally look into his dark blue eyes. For once, they aren’t harsh but soft. He reaches out and touches my cheek. I back away, and he frowns. 

 “I am trying, Amber. So much has happened, and it hasn’t even been two weeks. I had my life figured out,” He continues.

 “Yeah, I know what you mean,” I snort.

 “I didn’t want a mate forced on me,” He explains. “I wanted to choose her.” I open my mouth to say something, but he holds up a hand, “Let me finish. It’s becoming clear that we don’t have a choice in who we are.”

 “We always have a choice,” I mumble.

 “You are right,” Skylar smirks, and to my surprise, he pulls me into his arms. Tingles explode through my body as he plants a kiss on my lips.

 I am frozen and unsure what to do for a moment, but then I give in and wrap my arms around his neck as my knees go weak. We hold the kiss for a moment until he pulls back.

 Skylar traces the back of his hand down my cheek, “I choose you, Amber.”

 “I choose you too,” Tyler interjects. “Do you choose us?”

 ‘Say yes,’ Lilith insists.

 I stare at them both as my heart thrums against my chest. I still don’t know what I want, but staring into Skylar shows me the path I am meant to be on.

 “I choose you too,” I say and look at them.

 Skylar kisses me again while Tyler strokes my arms. I feel weak in the knees and almost fall, but he catches me and scoops me up into his arms. Skylar holds me close. “Let’s get you back to bed,” He smiles and carries me into the building.
