I like Hana immediately. She and I are obviously in the same situation, not wanting to be a part of this ridiculous pageantry put into place by the Elders to ensure a ‘stronger generation’.
I follow the guard who is pushing my luggage. “Do you mind if I join you?” Hana asks me.
“Not at all. When did you get here?” I ask her, as we move through a kitchen to a hallway.
“A couple of hours ago. Just long enough to realize that it’s terribly boring here, super quiet and heavily guarded.”
As she says that, we turn down a corridor that has two guards at every door. “Our rooms. Each one is guarded by two guards at all times. They don’t say much.” She tells me.
“So, ten guards at all times?” I ask. That’s almost as much as my escort here.

“Are they trying to keep us in, or the guys out?” I ask as the guard stops at a room and opens the door. He holds his arm out, keeping me from stepping inside. Instead, he walks in, checking everything before allowing me to enter. I look at Hana and she just shrugs. “I guess they’re very serious about keeping us safe until our claiming.”

“What’s your name?” I ask him.
“Luke, Alpha. And Beta, there will always be a total of 50 guards inside the house and around the perimeter. We will be rotating shifts.”
“I’m guessing you’re all mated males?” I ask.
“Yes Alpha. Elder Carson made sure that we all have living mates, and we were all put through rigorous testing to guarantee that we would be able to keep all of this year’s contestants safe, but specifically the two of you.”
