Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 72 – The stairs wrapped around a couple times before ending at the second floor. There was a wide, brightly lit hallway that led to a multitude of rooms. Through the large windows on either side of the wall, I could see multiple fitness rooms with foam flooring.
We made our way to the only unoccupied room—well, it was mostly unoccupied. Standing in the large room was a man I had never seen before. He was up there in age, around sixty or so, but he was in impeccable shape. The t-shirt he wore couldn’t hide the muscles beneath, or the bulkiness of his form. His short-cropped hair was grey, with just a small spattering of white.
“Welcome, girls.” His raspy voice boomed throughout the empty room, nearly making me jump.
He turned to greet the two of us, and my breath halted in my throat. His face was angular in a way that looked familiar, and while both of his eyes were the same color—I had seen that color before. They were so blue that they almost looked white—just like one of mine and Garrett’s eyes.
“Are we—are we related?” I frowned, looking at a somewhat altered copy of Garrett’s face.
“Well, you’re quick on the draw.” He laughed, a booming sound that was nothing like the Garrett I had come to know. “Sure are. I’m your Grand-father’s brother.”
“My Grand-father?” I nodded, temporarily at a loss for words. It seemed surprise took away my filter, and I found myself speaking without thinking. “Julian says he was a p***k.”
He paused for a moment, looking me in the eyes before answering.
“Mm, yeah he was a p***k.” He nodded, cracking a wide smile. “The humor in our family seems to skip a generation or two.”
“It skipped Garrett, didn’t it?” I asked dryly, unable to keep a straight face when the man erupted in laughter.
“Oh, I wish I would’ve met you sooner. The name’s Rick.” He smiled, his laughter d***g down. “So, I hear you need some training. Thought you white wolves were supposed to be all powerful?”
“I wouldn’t say all powerful.” I shrugged, “Besides, learning to fight never hurt anyone.”
“Right you are.” He nodded, walking over to the front of the room. “Alright, get to stretching and we’ll start in ten.”
“I take it back. Learning to fight has hurt people—mostly me.” I groaned, lying flat on the foam floor.
The sports bra and leggings I wore were damp with sweat, and I swore there was a puddle around my shaking body. Tori laid beside me; her head propped up on her hand.
“I didn’t take you for a quitter, Luna.” She cooed, flashing me a grin.
“Oh, I’m not quitting.” I shook my head. “Complain? Very much so.”
“I admit, you’ve got it bad.” She nodded, “Werewolves start training at a super young age. Your human life has made you totally out of shape.”
“Don’t remind me.” I groaned, refusing to move from my comfortable spot on the mat.
The muscles in my legs throbbed and ached, as did the rest of my body. We had trained for nearly three hours, then Rick sent us downstairs to lift some weights. We met back up on the second floor to talk over the plan for tomorrow.
The only consolation of today’s training was that my lack of coordination seemed to be completely remedied. I no longer stumbled over my own feet, and could block a punch fairly well after a few failed attempts. I had to give it to Tori, she had a mean punch.
