Caught Between Twin Alphas

Hold the Sugar

Skylar'sPOV

I slammed the car door shut as I got out. We were at a diner near Xander's pack. He frowned at me and took my hand as we walked in. I felt the sparks but I was mad at him for keeping Xavier from me. He led me to a booth in the very back. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when a waitress came over.

''Hey y'all, what can I do for you?" a perky voice asked.

I didn't take my glare off of Xander as I told her I'd like a cheeseburger. I heard her scribble something down and I heard her ask Xander what he'd like. He looked up at her with a smile that I wish was directed at me. ''Same thing and a coke, please.''

He smiled at her a second too long. It was me clearing my throat that got him to focus back on me. She said she'd be back in just a few.

''You have until that food gets here to tell me what you're reasons were, time starts now.''

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

Those should be our fingers....

My eyes widened as my wolf said that with so much desire.

Stop! I'mmadathim!

Ohyouknowyouwerethinkingthesamething!

''Skylar? Are you listening?"

Xander was looking at me, he had been talking.

''Yeah, go ahead,'' I told him.

''I thought you'd freak out and leave, I didn't mean to hurt you. Really, I didn't,'' he said ''And maybe a small part of me was afraid of losing you to my brother.''

I stayed silent. He was about to say something when the waitress reappeared.

''Here y'all go!" she chirped, placing our orders in front of us. I noticed something on Xander's cup...a phone number. Herphone number. I looked at him, he was thanking her, oblivious to the number. I took this time to look at her for the first time. She had long blonde hair that swirled around in curls, side bangs framing her flawless face, and an emerald barret placed above her ear holding her bangs out of her emerald eyes. I scanned her body. She had a usual waitress get up on except hers seemed shorter, showing off her tan legs.

She was like a model. Beautiful and charming, everything I am not. My wolf despised that model around our mate, I wasn't too fond of it myself.

After promising to check in on us, she left. Leaving us back to the conversation. Xander had still not noticed the number.

He was scarfing his food down when he finally noticed the number. I watched his face carefully, studying every movement he made, looking for any sign of interest. Instead, what I found was disgust, much to my surprise and my delight.

My delight was short lived as it dawned on me, if he didn't want a model like her, why would he want someone like me?

''Skylar, are you okay?" he asked, concern on his face.

I declined to answer and instead said, ''I see you found her number.''

His face went from concerned to cocky. ''You're jealous.''

I gritted my teeth together. ''Not at all.''

He smirked and leaned back in the booth. Model chick had the best timing and showed up just then.

''Y'all doing alright?" she asked us, although I felt it more directed towards my mate, emphasis on the mypart.

''Yes,'' we both answered, each of us staring at each other, him with amusement and me with annoyance.

''Can I get you a refill?" she asked oh-so-sweetly to Xander .

Before he could answer, I did.

''Actually, I'd like some tea,'' I told her. "Hold the sugar,'' I said in the exact same fake sweet tone she used. A smirk broke out on my face as she walked off. Xander matched my smirk.

She came back once more to bring my tea just like her attitude when she came bag, unsweetened. I'd say message received. He's mine.

Xavier'sPOV

I sighed as I stepped into my pack house, not a second after opening the door I saw several members rush to the couch. They were obviously watching the scene outside the window.

''Hello, alpha!" a young girl in the pack greeted.

I nodded to her and smiled slightly before walking upstairs. I had just reached my office when I saw my betas brother rushing towards me.

''Did Luna regain her memory?" Brandon asked.

I sighed nut decided to humor him. ''She did.''

He grinned in relief. He started opening his mouth to say some more nonsense but cut him off before he could say anything.

''Where's Ash?" I asked him.

He frowned. ''In the cells.''

''Tell him I need to speak to him,'' I commanded, walking into my office before he could respond. I could've mind linked my beta but I didn't feel like having voices in my head right now.

'Alpha. Someone has escaped the cells.'

I groaned. So much for no voices in my head.
