The Unwanted Daughter’s Alpha King
Chapter 29
could feel the intense gaze of everyone around us, but I didn’t take my eyes off of my brother. Caleb looked calm, but I could see his inner turmoil to stay or go, but he had to make a choice. He was discrediting everything I had built. Discrediting me. My Beta Taking our honor. Hurting the people he was supposed to love. It w too much. He wasn’t supposed to do this to his family. He should have taken his warnings more seriously.
“May I have time to pack my belongings?” Caleb said, finally meeting my eyes.
“Yes.” I responded coolly.
“Then I choose banishment.” Caleb answered just as coolly.
I sighed and nodded. “Beta Leon will supervise. You have an hour and a half.”
Caleb grimaced, but nodded, standing on his own two feet, free of the people who had been restraining him.
I nodded for them to go and stood there for a moment, feeling a little lost. I was losing my brother, and despite what he had done, I felt heavy about my decision. He was my twin after all. We might not have been close, but he was my other half.
A small gentle hand touched my arm, bringing me back to reality. I looked down to see Grace’s steady hand of encouragement, knowing what it must have just taken her to touch me first. I gave her a small smile and turned back toward the crowd.
“You may all head on to dinner.” I told them, pulling Grace’s hand into my own.
She looked hesitant but pulled out her chalkboard and stabilized it against the wall before beginning to write.
“You ok?” She asked.
The temptation was too real. I kissed the back of her hand before reluctantly letting it go, so I wouldn’t do something like that again.
“I will be.” I told her.
She nodded in understanding, and didn’t ask any more questions.
“I’m going to go talk to Sawyer, are you alright going to dinner alone now?”
She nodded again, and gave me a small smile. I wanted right then and there to wrap her up and bury my face in her neck, but I contained my desires and moved further away.
I watched her walk to the steps, and I headed back upstairs to my office to call Sawyer.
“Hello? He answered slightly breathlessly.
“Hey, did you hear the mindlink?” I asked, now regretting broadcasting it out to everyone.
“No, I’m just finishing up a surgery right now. You know that I block it during that.” Sawyer answered with annoyance in his voice. “Is there an emergency?”
“Not quite an emergency, but definitely a situation. Don’t talk to anyone until you talk to me. How long till you
Jone?”
“My part will be done in about 10 minutes.” He answered, but I could hear the slight anxiety now in his voice,
“Okay.” I answered. “Come straight to my office when you’re done. We need to talk.”

Chapter 29
“Did I do something wrong?” It was a hesitant question that made my heart hurt. As tough as he was, he struggled sometimes with being a doctor and my Gamma, and he always worried that he wasn’t enough of either.
“No, Sawyer, you did nothing wrong. I’ll tell you everything when you get here.” I said in my gentlest big brother voice.
I sat with my head in my hands in silence until I heard my brother’s familiar knock.
“Come in,” I called out.
Sawyer opened the door hesitantly and moved slowly till he was seated in the chair across from me at the desk.
“What’s going on?” He asked nervously.
“There is no easy way to say this,” I started calmly, “However, our brother has made some choices that I can no longer ignore.”
“Did he do something to Grace?” Sawyer interrupted in a panic.
“No. I mean, nothing more than flirting.” I was glad to see at least one of my brothers seemed to care about her. “No, he slept with
Heather, Leon’s wife.”
