Chapter 12
We made our way up to the third floor. This was where a lot of unmated pack members chose to live. Alana said that this floor gave off, “frat boy” vibes. She said they always had music playing, and they tended to take the party wherever they went. The 4th floor was where the Beta and Gamma lived. They had it separated into two separate living spaces, so we couldn’t go in, which I was okay with. I was really starting to tire out a bit.
The next floor required a password that Alana happened to know. She said if it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t be allowed up here. Half of it was a bunch of offices for the Alpha King and his leadership team. There were multiple meeting rooms, and they even had a mini kitchen filled with snacks.
The final floor was the floor the alpha family lived on. It required another password to access. I had learned from Dr. Sonnett, that their parents had died fairly young, but all
three brothers still lived there, even if I hadn’t met the other brother yet.
Somehow, I had gotten a room on the Alpha floor. I was a little unsettled by this, but it also felt reassuring to know that there was so much security, and that I was so close to
the Alpha King.
“Do you want to go to dinner now?” Alana asked, once we were finished with our tour.
I shook my head, no. I was ready to go just lay down now.
“Do you want me to stay with you?”
I again, just shook my head. I didn’t want her to miss dinner on my account when I wasn’t
hungry.
“Okay, well then have a good night, Gracie.” She smiled at me, and I tried to return it.
When the door closed behind her, I stood there for a moment, taking in the large family room and kitchen. It was all decorated exactly how you would imagine a mansion to be decorated. It was stunning but in a very prestigious way. It was all a lot to take in.
“Hello.” A voice pulled me out of my head as I started to my room.
I turned and did a double take. The man looked nearly identical to the Alpha King. His hair was a little shorter, and he wore glasses, but the family resemblance was uncanny.

Chapter 12
“I assume you are my brother’s new bride, Grace, yes?”
I nodded hesitantly.
“I’m Caleb, his twin. I have heard sooo much about you.”
There was something in his voice that made me uncomfortable. I didn’t want to be talking
to him anymore, so I turned to leave. He grabbed my arm, spinning me around back
toward him.
“What’s the rush?” He asked, and I recognized that look in his eye. It was the same that
Adrian had most of the time. The one a lot of men in my old pack had when they saw me.
“Let go.” A voice from behind me said dangerously.
I breathed a sigh of relief as he let go, and I scurried behind the Alpha King.
“Touch her again, and your hand will be severed from your body.” The Alpha King
threatened.
“Relax, brother,” Caleb smiled mischievously. “I was only welcoming your new bride. We are going to be family after all.”
He then winked at me, and I stifled a surprise gasp. My stomach twisted; I hated the way he was looking at me. The way he was eyeing me like I was something he could win. Like I was a prize or a piece of meat. It made me feel sick. I could also feel the tension radiating off the Alpha King. He was barely containing his fury, but whether it was at me or his
brother I wasn’t sure.
“Keep your hands to yourself, Caleb. We will not be sharing, and I will not be so kind that time.” There was a threat in his voice that surprised me. I wouldn’t have expected them to be on bad terms, but the way The Alpha King spoke to his brother made me think something had happened between them over a girl before. Maybe one of those many women Dr. Sonnett had been telling me about.
“Grace, let’s go.” His hard demanding tone drew me out of my thoughts immediately.
I let the Alpha King pull me away into a room that wasn’t the room I had been going to, but his words from last night rang back through my head. We would be sharing a room from now on, and I had no idea what to expect from that.
