Chapter 202 The Alpha King

• I followed the mousy man down the hallways of the palace, nerves rippling through me. Behind me, Charles, Theo, and David all followed, their footsteps echoing off the marble floors. That hollowness didn't do anything to alleviate my nerves. Instead, like the noise of their shoes bouncing off the floors and walls, my nerves bounced all over the place, too.
• The mousey man stopped in front of a set of doors. “Your companions will need to wait here,” he said.
• Charles reached for me, gripping my hand firmly and giving me an encouraging look. “We won't go anywhere,” he promised.
