Alina’s POV.

I gaped at the king, surprised that he was willing to do that to his favorite son. I turned to Prince Damien, and stared at him, wondering what he was going to say.

My heart felt like it was being pulled out of my chest when Prince Damien sighed. I pictured my rejection, expecting him to do so immediately, the king’s demand was something I was sure he couldn’t resist.

My hands became clammy as I watched Damien, he sucked in his breath, looked at me for a moment and returned his gaze to the king.

“Father, I’m thankful you thought of me and chosed a bride for me,” Prince Damien

bowed his head slightly. “But the fact is I am her mate and I won’t reject her stands.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t marry the princess.” He paused, and looked into his father’s eyes pleadingly.

“Looks like you’re still stuck on your decision.” The king scoffed, he stared at the prince and shook his head disappointedly.

“I’m stuck on my decision as well,” The king sighed and shook his head with another d

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter Seven: dinner

    Alina’s POVDamien had brought me to the dining room and asked me to seat across from him at the elegant dining table.I wasn't used to eating in such a posh setting because I was constantly in my room back home. Whenever I sat down to eat with my family, they would always make disparaging remarks about me, pointing out flaws in my chewing or how I held my fork.I didn't want to have to deal with that all the time, so I just decided to eat in my room all the time, with Malina for company, of course.Also, my family and pack were not as affluent as Damien's, so there was that.Damien cleared his throat, pulling me back into reality. I quickly remembered where I was and why I was there.I observed him as he silently waited for the food to be served. My thumb was near my mouth, and I was nervously biting my nails."If you have something to say, why don't you say it?" He asked without looking at me."Because I'm not sure if I want to hear your response or not," I murmured, dropping my han

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter eight: meeting the queen

    Alina's POVMy heart was pounding in my chest as I stepped out of my room to follow the maids. I rubbed my hands together, uncomfortably. I was about to turn my back on my door when I had an idea."Hey," I called out to one of the maids. "Is it possible for me to call on the prince first before I go with you?" I asked, but she just shook her head."Oh no. The queen sent for you, and not prince Damien. I don't think she'd be pleased if the prince came with you. The queen is also waiting. "I don't think she'll accept any further delays," she muttered, and I sighed.I had just been rubbed of my only way out of another round of insults and disgusted looks.I followed them reluctantly, and they took me out of the house to what seemed to be the green house that was behind their house.The maids opened the doors for me and I stepped in.“She's right inside,” one of them said and closed the door behind me.I walked into the green house, momentarily distracted by the beauty of the plants that

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter nine: understanding

    Alina's POVDamien had not let go of my hand, neither had he stopped dragging me away from the queen. I attempted to talk to him so he would stop pulling me or at least listen to what I was saying, but he wasn't having it.My hand was starting to hurt since he was not only dragging me at an uncomfortably quick pace, but he was also clutching too hard."Hey, Damien… hey, will you please quit dragging me? Hey!" I shouted and jerked my hand away from him, causing him to stop walking and groan before turning around.I examined my hand, and a bruise in the shape of his hand had formed on my wrist."What's your problem? Why are you dragging me around as if I were a servant who needed to be punished? I at least deserve to know why I'm being brought like a sheep to the slaughter. Have some respect for me, please!" I shouted, and by the time I was finished, I was exhaling heavily, which was when I realized I had been shouting.I pursed my lips and took a big inhale."I apologize for being over

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter ten: tension and unwanted visitors

    Alina's POVI sighed in frustration as I watched Alpha Rylan stand in front of me, a contented smile playing on his lips. I was sure he relished seeing how much his antics were getting to me.Honestly, I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me flustered, but I was utterly exhausted. I hadn’t had a moment of peace since arriving at Damien’s pack.“I don’t think I have the appetite for anything right now. I’d much prefer to return to my room and rest,” I said to Damien and made a move to leave, but he firmly held onto my arm.“I know you’re hungry, and I’d love to spend more time getting to know you, so please eat with me,” Damien said with a soft smile.Rylan scoffed, the sound cutting through the air, but Damien ignored him.Damien walked over to my side and pulled out a chair for me, gesturing for me to sit. Reluctantly, I did. He took a plate and filled it with food before placing it in front of me.Rylan sat down as well, his gaze fixed on me.“Are you even sure she k

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter eleven : A Wolf in the Den

    Alina’s POV I took a step back, my eyes narrowing as I looked at Rylan lounging on my bed like he owned the place. His posture was relaxed, but I wasn’t fooled. There was a sharpness in his gaze, something calculating and dangerous.He sat there like he owned the place, one arm propped behind his head, the other lazily tracing patterns over the silky fabric of my new dresses. I had left some on the bed while I was staying to decide which to wear.His smirk widened when he saw me standing in the doorway. My grip on the doorknob tightened. “What are you doing here?” He stretched like a bored cat before rising to his feet with a grace that made my skin crawl. “I could ask you the same thing, but I already know the answer to that, don’t I?”His eyes gleamed with something unreadable. “The better question is, what are you doing here?” I exhaled sharply, forcing myself to remain composed. “If you have nothing important to say, I’d appreciate it if you left,” Rylan chuckled, taking

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter twelve: Playing the game

    Damien’s POV The steady rhythm of my fists striking the punching bag echoed through the palace gym, each hit landing with calculated force. The familiar burn in my muscles was a welcome distraction, one of the few things that kept my mind from spiraling lately. Across from me, my brothers, Lucas and Adrian, leaned against the dumbbell rack, lazily rolling water bottles between their hands. Lucas smirked as he watched me, his golden eyes filled with mischief. “Alright, Damien, spill it. You’re working out like you’re trying to beat something to death.” I didn’t stop. “I’m just focused.” “Uh-huh.” Lucas took a slow sip of water before tossing the bottle onto a nearby bench. “Well, since you’re not busy tonight, how about we hit the club? You could use a little distraction.” I grunted, dodging the question entirely as I landed another solid punch on the bag. Adrian snorted. “I’ll take that as a no.” I finally paused, shaking out my arms before grabbing my own water bottle

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter thirteen:Tangled Tensions

    Alina’s povI wasn’t exactly hungry, but sitting alone at the long, opulent dining table felt like the safest option that morning.After the tense encounter with Rylan the night before, I wanted no, needed peace. His suspicion had gnawed at me like a silent threat all through the night, clawing its way into my thoughts with a vicious persistence.I could still feel the weight of his gaze on me, as though he saw through every layer of the facade I’d worked so hard to maintain. But more than anything, I needed to speak with the prince. I had questions that I couldn’t keep bottled up any longer. Questions about Malia, about the curse, about where I stood in all this madness.Unfortunately, I had no idea when or where I could find him. And I wasn’t about to go wandering around the palace like some desperate shadow, asking servants and guards if they’d seen him. The last thing I needed was to appear pathetic, lost in a place that already felt so foreign.So, I sat there. The breakfast spre

    Alina's povI stood frozen, my heart racing, as the woman who had just entered the room caught my attention. My mind raced, trying to process the situation.The name Blair echoed in my head, and the realization came crashing down like a thunderstorm. Blair wasn’t just anyone—she was the princess, the woman Damien was supposed to marry.I felt a strange sensation in my chest. A sharp pang of inferiority surged through me. My breath caught as I suddenly became acutely aware of the way I must appear to her—shabby, worn, like I didn’t belong.She was everything I was not: poised, elegant, and undeniably royal. She was the kind of woman Damien should be with. The kind of woman I could never be.My mind swirled with questions. Hadn’t Damien promised me he wouldn’t reject me? That he would mate with me?But here stood Blair, looking as though she was already trying to take my place. I looked at Damien for reassurance, but his expression gave nothing away. He remained stoic, his eyes flicking

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter twenty one:Dreamt of you

    Alina's POVThe dream was vivid.It started gently—warmth, safety, the scent of cedar and rain wrapping around me like a second skin. I was on Damien’s bed, curled against his broad chest, the rhythmic rise and fall of his breathing lulling me into peace. His fingers lazily brushed my arm, his breath tickling the shell of my ear.Then everything shifted.The warmth turned molten. His touch grew bold—no longer casual or comforting, but possessive and electric. My breath hitched as his mouth brushed over my collarbone, lips trailing lower with an unrelenting hunger. His voice—gods, his voice—was low and sinful, murmuring my name like a prayer and a curse.“Alina…”I gasped as his hands slid down my waist, tugging me closer, pressing me against him like he wanted to mold me into him.I was burning.I moaned softly—shamelessly—as he whispered things into my skin. Things that made my stomach clench and my pulse flutter. Words I shouldn’t want to hear. Words no one had ever dared say to me

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter twenty: The Scent of Trouble

    Alina’s POV“So… are you hungry?”Damien’s voice came from beside me, deep and smooth, and for a moment I forgot how to respond. I had barely recovered from our earlier conversation about his brother, and now he was talking about food like we hadn’t just dissected centuries of family drama.“A little,” I admitted, glancing at him.“Good. We’ll eat soon. But before that…” He straightened and looked me up and down, not in a suggestive way, but in a way that made me feel suddenly… exposed. “We need to go shopping.”My brows furrowed. “Shopping?”“You need clothes,” he said, matter-of-fact. “You’re not going to keep walking around the palace looking like one of the maids.”My mouth fell open in protest. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?”He cocked a brow at me. “You look like a lost kitchen servant.”I gasped dramatically. “Well, thanks.”He smirked. “You’re my mate. I want you to dress like it. You’re practically royalty now.”I blinked at him. “That’s not how this works. I don’t need

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter nineteen: A Cup of Poisoned Honey

    Alina’s POVI stared at the arm Darius offered, my fingers twitching slightly at my side. Every instinct in me said to be polite, to smile and accept—because it was the eldest prince, because he’d been kind, because refusing tea could somehow be an offense in a place where etiquette ruled like law.But another voice—one deeper, sharper—was whispering Damien’s name in my mind.Don’t trust them.Darius’s smile hadn’t faltered. His posture was relaxed, patient even, but the way he was watching me told me he didn’t expect to be refused.“I... appreciate the invitation,” I began, voice careful, “but I’ve had quite the long day. Maybe another time?”His brows lifted slightly. “Another time?”I nodded. “A rain check?”He tilted his head, amusement dancing in his eyes. “You’re turning me down, Lady Alina?”“I’m not saying no,” I clarified quickly. “Just… not right now.”“You wound me.” His voice was teasing, but there was something else beneath it—an edge, quiet and smooth, like a knife hidden

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter eighteen:Whispers in the Halls

    Alina’s POVI didn’t go back to my room.I don’t know why—I just kept walking. Maybe it was the leftover tension in my chest from that moment with Damien, or maybe it was Blair’s voice still ringing in my ears like an off-key bell. Whatever it was, my feet refused to carry me back to the quiet stillness of my room.Instead, I wandered.The palace was massive, almost labyrinthine. Every hallway branched into another, and it didn’t take long before I realized I was thoroughly lost. But oddly enough, I didn’t mind. The high ceilings, gold-trimmed windows, and the faint scent of roses and polished stone were strangely calming.I turned a corner and nearly collided with a maid carrying a stack of folded linens.“Oh! I’m so sorry!” I stepped back quickly.The maid blinked in surprise but gave me a smile. “No harm done, miss.”Another maid peeked from a nearby doorway, then another, until there were three of them clustered around me like curious little birds.“You’re the guest, aren’t you?”

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter seventeen: Patience Isn’t a Virtue You Own

    Damien’s POVBlair’s voice was the kind that cut through even the thickest tension; high, sugary, and utterly grating.“There you are,” she said, as if she hadn’t planned the interruption with surgical precision.I didn’t move right away. Alina was still right behind me, her scent faint but maddeningly real, the kind of thing that curled around your lungs and refused to let go. I could feel the heat of her body from where I’d just pulled back. My skin still remembered the moment. The closeness. Her breath on my throat.And then Blair had to show up.She smiled up at me like nothing was out of place, but her gaze flicked to Alina, a half-second too long, a little too sharp, and I knew immediately: she wasn’t just here to find me. She’d come to pry.Again.“I’ve been looking everywhere,” she said, slipping her arm through mine like it belonged there.I didn’t pull away, but I didn’t grip her back either.“We were talking,” I said, tone clipped.“I can see that,” she replied, sweetly. H

    Alina’s POVI didn’t know who they were. I swear I didn’t.The moment the taller man laughed and Damien’s name slipped from his mouth, my stomach dropped. I turned to the one who had smirked at me like I was some amusing pet, and recognition hit too late, both of them bore that same predatory sharpness Damien did around the eyes. His brothers.Of course.And I’d just threatened to throw fruit at their faces.“...They’re your brothers?” I asked, my voice tighter than I wanted it to be.Damien raised a brow as if I’d just asked him if the sky was blue. “Obviously.”I winced, clutching the half-eaten apple a little tighter. “Right. Obviously. Well, I, uh…” I turned briefly to the two still standing there, both watching me with a mix of amusement and curiosity. “I apologize. For the apple. And the… threats.”They both laughed again, and Damien sighed. Without another word, he reached out, took my wrist, not roughly but firmly and pulled me along with him.We walked in silence through the

  • Six-Times Rejected Freak: Claimed By The Alpha Prince   Chapter fifteen: only mine to handle

    Damien’s POVThe silence between me and my father stretched like a taut string, threatening to snap. I stood before him in the private council chamber, the one he reserved for conversations that required no witnesses, no distractions, only obedience.He was seated, as usual, in his favorite armchair by the wide windows, dressed more like a warlord than a king. His sharp eyes cut through me the moment I walked in, as if he already knew I wasn’t here to grovel.“Well?” he finally said, voice low and imperious. “Time’s up, Damien. Are you going to do your duty or spit on the legacy that built this kingdom?”I didn’t flinch. “I’ll marry Blair.”A heavy pause followed my words.His brow arched, a hint of surprise flickering in his expression. “Just like that?”“No,” I said calmly. “Not just like that. I’ll agree to an engagement… for now.”The king sat straighter. “That wasn’t the deal. The deal was marriage. Immediate. I don’t need another scandal.”“With respect, you’re not going to find
