Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 13 – Tori drove deep into the woods and I watched the trees pass by in silence. We drove about ten minutes into the forest until spotting another paved road.

I let my fingers wander up to my cheek, wincing at the soreness that radiated across my face. Frank had never hit me in the face before, and I wondered how long it would take until my face began to swell and bruise. Hopefully it could wait until I made it safely home. I didn’t bother letting Melissa know where I was. I didn’t have her number anyway.

Tori turned down another road and I felt my jaw drop as a mini town came into view. A small town nestled in the middle of the forest, and it looked all shiny and new. A sprinkling fountain sat in the middle of the small town square. H**l, they even had a few shops lingering around. I instantly spotted a coffee shop and and a little diner type restaurant.

“Wow.” I gaped, looking around the town square.

People were out and about, walking down the sidewalk and sitting on benches. Some were even planting flowers or maintaining the grounds.

“Awesome right?” Tori turned and grinned, as shes rolled the windows down.

I inhaled deeply, the smell of fresh flowers mingling with the cool breeze. The sound of chattering and running water was in the air, and I couldn’t get over how peaceful it felt here. Completely away from everyone else, nestled deep in the woods.

“Who knew there was a whole town back here.” I chuckled and shook my head, but my eyes were glued to my surroundings.

So this is where Kade and Alec lived. My heart ached just thinking about them, an image of Grace popping into my mind at the worst moment. Stupid tears pricked at the backs of my eyes, but I forced them down. No way I would even spare a tear over the two of them. My heart felt twisted and confused. Sure Alec wasn’t dating Grace, but my heart told me I wanted them both. One without the other made me feel empty inside.

“It’s not quite the size of a normal town, but we have amazing coffee so that’s a plus.” Tori giggled, making a turn down another road.

“You have to take me there sometime.” I grinned back at her, confused by the hidden emotion flickering in her eyes.

“Of course.” Tori grinned, the hidden emotion buried deep.

We turned down a different road and headed a little deeper into the forest. The Towns square was still visible as Tori pulled into a strange looking cul de sac.

A absolutely huge house sat at the end, with a driveway big enough to fit at least six cars. It was at least three stories high, painted the color of a clear sky. Huge windows adorned the house, making it look like a modern version of a farmhouse.

“Who lives there?” I gaped at the huge house, noticing there were no cars in the driveway. Flowers lined the entrance to the driveway, giving the house a colorful and cheerful feel.

“Biggest house in our little town.” Tori chuckled, “I’m sure you can guess who lives there.”
