Her Devilish Alpha - Chapter 199

“What in the hell is going on? Is this some kind of new power Madeline unlocked? What, can she clone people now?” Adrian questioned.

Madeline folded her arms against her chest, “Sorry to say, I can’t clone people. I wish I could but I can’t.”

Xavier exhaled, “This is my twin brother, Lawrence.”

“You never told me you had a twin brother,” Adrian spoke, jaw practically on the floor.

“And who are you supposed to be?” Lawrence questioned, slightly sad it wasn’t some conventionally attractive woman that had walked into Xavier’s cabin for him to go on an adventure with.

“I’m Adrian, Xavier’s friend,” Adrian said, introducing himself. He couldn’t keep his eyes off of Lawrence, still processing things.

“He looks exactly like you. Like exactly like you.”

“I know that, we’re twins,” Xavier grumbled.

“He’s just upset I’m older than him by five solid minutes,” Lawrence stated proudly.

Xavier glared at Lawrence to shut up.

Madeline stifled a laugh. Xavier gazed at her longingly, eyes filled with hurt although he decided to keep his mouth shut till he knew what happened.

Thankfully, Madeline decided to have a chat with Xavier alone. She announced, “Me and Xavier are just going to head upstairs to have a little chat, you two go chat amongst yourselves or something.”

She knew as a matter of fact that Xavier’s bedroom was soundproof.

“Come on, we’re talking upstairs,” she said to Xavier who nodded and followed her.

Adrian was about to say something along the lines of ‘don’t leave me with him, I don’t even know him’ but chose to keep quiet. Whatever Madeline wanted to talk with Xavier about seemed serious.

Lawrence waggled his brows, asking Adrian, “So, you’re decent-looking, got a girlfriend?”

“Why ask?”

“Listen, I know what it looks like, but it’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t sleep with him,” Madeline said, trying not to laugh. She added, on a roll, “The only reason we were in your bedroom was because I walked past your bedroom while I was on the way to the guest room and I saw him there, and I thought he was you.”

“Okay, continue,” Xavier urged.

“Then, I talked with him, thinking he was you because you and him look exactly alike. But then I realised that he wasn’t you,” Madeline said, placing both her hands on Xavier’s chest. She began, “I’m going to tell you something that you might not like. So promise not to get upset?”

Xavier looked at her, pursing his lips.

“You have my word that I’ll try.”

Madeline inhaled.

“Lawrence was trying to sleep with me. That’s the whole reason he–”

Before Madeline could continue, Xavier interrupted her.

“He what?” He questioned, fists balled and jaw clenched.

Madeline stopped talking. She couldn’t try to reason with him and say he didn’t know she and Xavier were a thing. She had told Lawrence they were dating. Sure, she rectified her mistake later on but that didn’t mean she and Xvaier weren’t a thing. They went on a few dates, they were soulmates too. She didn’t have eyes for anyone other than him.

Xavier believed her of course. Trying to get Madeline to sleep with him seemed like something Lawrence would do. After all, he was a womaniser. It was perfectly in his nature to try to get any attractive woman to sleep with him, especially if he knew his brother was interested in her. It was a great incentive.

He couldn’t even remember what happened next, all he could remember doing was rushing downstairs with Madeline running behind.

Without any further hesitation, he walked over to Lawrence.

Madeline rushed to Xavier’s side, wanting to warn him not to do anything before-

WHAM!

Xavier sent Lawrence flying to a wall with one punch, breaking said wall in the process.

Adrian could only watch everything happen, wondering what it was Madeline told Xavier for him to look so furious. The man seemed livid; he was encased in this aura of darkness and doom.

Lawrence seemed insulted, “OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?”

“What was that for?”

“WHAT WAS THAT FOR?” Xavier bellowed, voice echoing off the walls.

“Can’t we talk this out like men?” Lawrence said, peeling himself off of the wall, muttering under his breath, ‘If I were a human this would have killed me.’

Xavier growled.

Adrian stared at the floor, “I am both entertained and so confused right now.”

“I’m going to kill you.”

“Oh come on, I didn’t actually sleep with her!”

Madeline walked over to Xavier’s side, heaving and panting. She stared at her mate who had successfully broken one of the perfectly good walls of his own living room by punching his twin brother. She bit her lip and squeezed his hand as if trying to tell him, ‘Don’t, he’s still your brother.’

“Adrian, I think it’d be better if you left,” Madeline said to him, urgency flashing in her eyes.

“Agreed,” Adrian said, before he quickly left.

“Xavier, don’t.”

“Listen to the lady, Xavier. We’re brothers, after all. Mom would’ve hated this.”

“Don’t you dare bring her name up, she would’ve been disappointed at who you’ve become.”

“You say that as if I’d let mom know the type of person I’ve become.”

“She would’ve hated it,” Xavier stated.

Lawrence scoffed, “What, you punched me once and now you wanna be civil?”

Xavier grinned, “Oh don’t get me wrong I would love to kill you right now.”

“Then what’s stopping you?”

“What do you think? What are you doing here anyway?” Xavier questioned.

“I just decided to drop by and check in on my little brother.”

“I am not your little brother.”

“That five minute difference says otherwise.”

“A true brother wouldn’t have tried sleeping with their brother’s mate.”

“Geez, I’m sorry. Is that what you wanted to hear?”

Xavier deliberated over it for a couple of seconds before he replied, “If you were anyone other than yourself, you’d be dead right now.”

“Wow, it’s really nice to know that. How accommodating of you.”

Madeline held Xavier’s hand tighter.

“You know, at least I didn’t sleep with her. Wouldn’t it have been awkward?”

“Oh, shut up, before I decide to punch you a second time,” Xavier said.
