Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 85 – Tori sounded frantic, and if her rapid knocks were any indicator—something had happened. The twin’s and I were out of bed in an instant, shoving on any article of clothing we could. Perhaps there was a downside to sleeping naked.

I wrenched the door open once the twins had at least put shorts on. Tori stormed in, her fiery locks an absolute mess and her eyes wild. I was still in the process of putting on my own shirt, forgoing a bra completely.

“What?” I stammered, grabbing onto Tori with gentle hands. I searched her eyes for answers but found only fear and questions. “What happened?”

Tori shook of the fear that warped her insides, much like I thought she would. She squared her shoulders, and let out a shaky breath before composing herself.

“I planned to go down a floor for some ice, figured it wouldn’t hurt because all of the guards posted and what not.” Tori let the words out in a rush, and gave Kade a glare when he scoffed at her. “I had gotten some drinks at the store when we stopped, but they were warm. Sue me for wanting a cold drink.”

“What happened next?” I pressed, flashing Kade a look that said ‘not now’.

“A guard followed me down, we couldn’t have been gone for more than five minutes.” Tori continued, her nervous eyes back on me. “When we came back up, the guards were gone. Every single one. The one that took me down to get ice escorted me back to my room and told me to stay there. Obviously, I didn’t listen. Why would I when something this creepy was going on? I waited a minute and came back out. The guard that took me to my room was gone, as in—not even on this floor.”

I swore I could hear something clatter out in the hall. Like someone had dropped something. That clatter was followed by a muffled bang, loud enough to grab the twin’s attention.

“Something’s wrong, don’t you feel it?” Tori asked, her voice lowering into a hushed whisper.

“I certainly do now.” I nodded, locking eyes with the twins to see that they also felt the same.

I walked over to the door, ready to wrench it open. Every ounce of fatigue had been wiped from me, replaced with fear and a strange sense of foreboding. Something was definitely wrong; we just hadn’t noticed it in time. Just as I opened it an inch, Alec’s shoulder slammed into the door.

“Don’t open it.” Alec snarled; his nose tilted upwards as he took deep breaths of the air around us. His eyes darted over to Kade, narrowing in both determination and feral anger. “You smell that?”

Tori lifted her nose to the air as well and inhaled. I followed suit, but ended up confused. I smelled nothing other than the usual scents of a hotel. Lotion and soap in the bathroom, cleaner and laundry detergent, and just a hint of the twin’s cologne from before we left the cabin.

“What is it?” I asked, unable to pinpoint what scent they were talking about.

“S**t, that’s not good. Whoever’s here came prepared.” Kade snapped, his eyes darting around the room.

“Short version, it’s a gas designed for werewolves. Created by the High Table. It also has silver particles in it. The smell is subtle, but it’s sweet and metallic.” Alec grunted, looking through the peephole while Kade scanned the room for something. “Small dosages cause hallucinations, large leave you completely unconscious.”
