3. A Room of Alphas

The house was huge, it looked more of a castle than a house, I was still amazed by how beautiful it was.

“Come on in,” he said, walking towards the entrance of the house.

I stopped admiring the house as I followed him.

He stopped at the door, as it opened and we were greeted by a girl, wearing a maid uniform.

She bowed to him “welcome Al….”

“Where is Preston?” Kayden asked, cutting her short.

“He is yet to return” she replied

“This is Amber, Caren’s daughter, please show her to her room”

She bowed at him in response

Kayden turned to me “freshen up and come down, I will introduce you to the boys”

“Boys? Do you mean your brothers”

He nodded “I am sure you will get along with them”

“If they are like you then it’s impossible”

“Just admit it, you like me”

“In your dreams” I replied as I walked away, with the maid leading me.

“See you soon wildcat” I heard him say after me.

I was led through the stairs, the interior of the house was so huge that it could be mistaken for a castle.

We got to the second floor and she led me further down the hallways, stopping at a brown door.

“If you need help with anything, I will be happy to help”

“Thank you” I replied and she bowed before leaving.

I opened the room and I was met with an amazing view.

Just a few minutes ago I was in a cell that reeked of blood, now I was standing in a room that was fit for royalties.

I immediately ran to the bed and jumped on it, loving how comfy and bouncy it felt.

Realizing that I stink and I was going to stain the white coloured sheets, I immediately left the bed.

Looking around the room, I noticed it had a kind of manly vibe, and weirdly enough I love it.

The bed was at the side of the room, with the walnut wood bedside table and the warm glowing lamp which was on it, there was a couch at the far end of the room.

The beige and white coloured room gave me a warm feeling.

Seeing the door at the other end of the room, I walked towards it.

I opened the door slowly as I peeped into it, it was a large bathroom.

Living in the woods, I could only bath at the river and when wolves shift back to their human form, they end up completely naked, so it was not unusual to find clothes on trees in the woods.

That was how I lived without the luxury of what I was seeing right now.

I was itching to take a bath, stripping off my clothes, I entered the bathtub which I had filled with water.

I scrubbed off the dirt from my skin, loving the feel of the water.

Few minutes after bathing, I saw a white towel, taking it from the counter and I wrapped it on my body.

Just as I stepped into the room, I realized that I did not have any clothes with me.

I ran my hands through my wet hair, deciding to look for the girl Kayden had introduced me to earlier.

I walked out of the room, looking down the hallways, I wondered how I was going to find her, the house was huge and I was only in my towel.

I hope no one sees me like this, it would be really awkward.

I walked silently down the hallways. I was regretting coming out of my room with each step I took.

I stopped in my tracks realizing that this was a stupid idea, Kayden said he had brothers, and I don’t want to bump into any of them when I have nothing on.

I was about to go back, when someone grabbed my wrist making me turn to face the person.

I was startled to see a very pissed guy, glaring at me in disgust.

“What are you doing here” he growled

I stepped back surprised at his tone, but his hands were still on my wrist.

He had an intimidating aura that made me shiver.

We both heard the sound of a door being opened and he immediately dragged me away leading me into a room.

I tried to struggle out of his iron clad grip, but it was impossible and I was sure it was going to leave a bruise.

He closed the door behind him and turned to me.

“You are hurting me” I told him as I still struggled to break from his grip.

“Did Kayden bring you here?” he asked, ignoring what I had just said.

I nodded in response and it only seemed to piss him more.

“I know you have an ulterior motive, just because Kayden sleeps with you doesn’t mean you have the right to walk around the house, you are his whore and you should know your place”

Whore….

Feeling really annoyed I wanted to kick him in between his legs, but my towel restricted my movement, so instead, I bit hard on his hand making him hiss as he let go of my wrist.

I glared at him, ignoring my throbbing wrist.

“I am not a whore, and I don’t know who the hell you are, but you should know your place” I growled back at him.

He did not seem to like my tone and was about to say something but I interrupted him.

“My name is Amber and Kayden is my brother, so I hope you don’t confuse me for someone else in the future”

He looked taken aback at what I said “you are Caren’s daughter?” He asked, it was clear that he had his doubt.

“Yes,”

He scanned what I was wearing and it was clear that my towel had given him a wrong impression of me.

“I don’t have any clothes, so I came out to find the girl I had seen earlier” I immediately tried to clear the air.

He grunted and walked towards his closet.

He opened the closet and after some minutes of looking through his clothes he finally took out a white collar shirt and a pair of blue shorts.

“These are the smallest clothes I own, you can put them on”

“Thank you” I told him sincerely.

“It would be trouble to go out in your towel, so you can change here”

I nodded and waited for him to turn while I changed.

He stood there, then suddenly realized what he was meant to do.

“Oh… yeah … I will turn now” he said awkwardly as he turned around facing the wall.

I quickly pulled the towel as I wore the shirt which according to him was his ‘smallest clothes’

They were actually really big on me, the shirt stopped at my mid thigh while the shorts could be mistaken for a half cut trouser.

I coughed, trying to indicate that I was done.

“Are you Kayden’s brother?” I asked as he turned to face me.

“Yes, my name is Shawn” he replied and noticed the way I kept trying to adjust the shirt.

“If you don’t like it I can change it”

“Oh, no it’s fine …” my stomach suddenly made a loud rumbling sound.

I chuckled awkwardly as I held my stomach.

“It’s time for dinner, you must be hungry”

Remembering how I was caught because I wanted to eat rabbit stew made me curse at myself.

Shawn left the room and I followed him.

“Caren said you were only ten when your pack was attacked”

I nodded and realized how stupid I was, he did not have any eyes at his back to see that I had nodded.

“Yes,” I replied.

“So where have you been staying”

“I lived as a rogue with my aunt”

“Ahhh, “ he stopped as if he remembered something, making me almost bump into him.

There was spark in his eyes “you are the infamous rogue that almost killed three of our pack warriors”

“Infamous” I asked with a questioning look.

“Word around the pack is that, there is a rogue that got captured who almost killed three of the pack warriors”

“I guess I am quite popular around here”

He stared at me “you don’t look like you could fight”

I was thin, well mainly because I didn’t really eat well

“You look like a fragile glass”

“Don’t underestimate me, I can whoop your ass”

He laughed “I will like to take you up on your offer” he turned and continued walking.

Rolling my eyes, I followed him.

We alighted the stairs as he led me through other hallways, then we got to the front of a door.

He opened the door, and stepped in and I did the same.

I was taken aback as to how astonishing the dining room was that I did not notice we were not the only one in the room.

“Just in time for dinner” I heard Kayden’s voice. I noticed that apart from Kayden, there were three other guys in the room.

I don't know why but the room felt suffocating and the stares I was receiving from the people in the room did not make it better

“Is she Caren’s daughter?” one of the guys said. He was wearing a black suit, his jet black hair tousled and he still looked hot with it.

It did not take me long to guess that everyone in this room was Kayden’s brother and damn were they all good looking.

“Amber” I heard my name, making me slide away from my thoughts.

“Come sit here,” Kayden called out to me.

I was walking towards Kayden, when the guy in a suit suddenly pulled out a chair for me.

“You can seat here”

Saying thank you to him I sat on the chair.

"You are really pretty” the guy from across the table said with a goofy smile, it seems that he was the youngest, but he was older than me. He had a black spiky hair, and was wearing a green T shirt

“Thank you” I smiled back at him.

“My name is Mateo, this is Preston,” he gestured to the guy in the suit. “And the grumpy looking guy over there is Nathan”

I looked at Nathan who was looking at me as though he was accessing me.

“And I am sure you have met Kayden and Shawn”

“Yes I have” I replied

“Just keep in mind that Kayden is a real bad influence” he whispered to me.

“I can hear you Mateo,” Kayden shouted.

Mateo smiled “I did not say anything”

Mateo was really sweet, and an outgoing person.

“She looks really weak” Nathan who had been quiet all this while finally spoke, it seems he was done with his assessment.

“And I could say the same to you” I retorted.

“She is feisty, don’t underestimate her Nathan” Preston said

“Where is Marcus” Shawn asked, the question was directed at Mateo.

“He said he was busy with something, I guess it’s his new pet”

There was another, I had already met five of them, and I wondered how many step brothers I had.

“We all agreed to dinner this evening, it would be nice to eat together for once”

Mateo only shrugged his shoulders.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in” Preston replied leaning back on his chair, I could feel his gaze on me, at least Mr grumpy wasn’t staring at me.

The door opened, and several omegas in maids' uniform entered the room with a trolley filled with food.

My stomach growled in anticipation and I hoped no one noticed but Preston did and he laughed softly.

I could feel my face heat up as the food was being placed on the table.

Once the table was filled with food and the trolley was empty, they bowed and left the room.

Preston placed the roasted chicken in front of me.

“Help yourself, I am sure you are really hungry” he smiled at me.

I don’t know if he was mocking me or was just trying to be nice.

I mouthed a thank you to him and turned away from him.

I was about to take a chunk from the chicken, when the door suddenly flew open with a loud bang.

I looked up from my food and I saw the one person I had never wanted to see again.

Alpha Kai stood in front of the door, the aura around him was intimidating and I became less hungry seeing him here.

“Brother, you came for dinner” Mateo happily said.

BROTHER!

He just called Alpha Kai, brother. I looked around the room and realized I was sitting in a room full of Alphas.
