Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 15
Kai's POVShe was small. That was one of the things I noticed about Alyssa as we rode Carter to the royal palace. I didn’t mean small for her height, which was quite average, but small enough that it was clear she was practically starved at the Red Maple Camp.I avoided holding onto her for too long, opting to hold onto Carter’s fur. I wasn’t one for touch or affection, so the times I had touched her were either necessary or to piss Alex off. I preferred the latter, entitled prick. But I’d touched her enough to feel her bones poking through her skin and it made me wonder just how much she would’ve suffered in that camp.I knew of people being cruel and manipulative, I’d lived in the Royal Palace all my life, surrounded by vipers, so I believed Alyssa when rumours spread that she hadn’t hurt her stepmother. The girl couldn't have hurt someone even if she tried. It didn't seem her time at the Red Maple Camp had toughened her up either.Those rumours were quickly shut down by Alpha Henry

Alyssa's POVI stood at the foot of each throne, trembling as I watched the Alpha King and the Luna Queen briefly inspect me. The Luna Queen looked at me with obvious distaste, wondering how a wretch like me had caused trouble in the Royal Family. The Alpha King, however, looked indifferent, partially curious but it seemed like he hadn’t formed a particular opinion on me yet. Caspian and Carter now stood on either side of me as if they were ready to defend me. The Luna Queen’s glare deepened, but neither wolf backed down.“And may I ask, father, what is it my wife-to-be has done?” Kai asked, almost bored as gasps filled the throne room.I could’ve strangled him for that, revealing it at a time like this. Murmurs began between guards, maids and even between my own family as my father looked shocked and Vivian demanded to know what was going on.Freya looked as if she was ready to storm down the steps of the throne pedestal and grab me by the hair to demand what I thought I was doing,

Alyssa's POV My words cut through the throne room like a knife as everyone looked at me with a shocked expression. They clearly hadn’t been expecting me to say anything against them let alone defend myself. My father seemed to look the angriest, even more than the Alpha King who I had openly opposed. Part of me wanted to take it back and apologise, but I didn’t want to. I hadn’t done anything wrong! I hadn’t been the one to attack Taylor so viciously. All I did was try to protect myself.But clearly, no one seemed to care about that.What had Taylor said about that day? Before I could react, my father strode down the steps that held the platform to the thrones and was in front of me, gripping me tightly by my shirt.“Alyssa, you have disgraced this family enough,” He spat, no love in his eyes for his daughter, “You will apologise, you will accept your punishment and then I will bring you home where I will deal with you myself.”I stared into my father’s eyes, the ones that were sup

Alyssa’s POVEveryone turned their attention from me to Caspian and I couldn’t help but feel a bit grateful. Behind me, Alexander came forward. I doubted he had any idea what his wolf had done, but it looked like he was going to take responsibility.“Alexander, what do you have to say about your wolf’s claim?” The Alpha King asked his son, clearly not amused. It seemed he thought this was going to be an easy case of sentencing me, but my relationship with his sons made things complicated.“I was not around at the time Caspian claims he did this.”That was right. Caspian told me that he was angry at Alexander and had run off on his own. I dreaded to think what would’ve happened if Caspian hadn’t come to save me. Why couldn’t my mate care for me as much as his wolf did?Alexander was careful with his words, letting his father know that these actions were his wolf's doing and his wolf's doing alone. Poor Caspian, even his prince was hesitant to defend him.“Interesting.”“Convenient,” Al

Kai’s POVThis farce of a trial was getting boring. My father was being his typical imposing self and making this a bigger deal than it had to be. So what if that twit of a wolf lost an arm and an eye, I had soldiers in my army that had suffered a worse face.And enemies that wish that losing an arm and an eye was all that had happened to them.Taylor of the Fire Bone Pack was a pathetic snivelling idiot who wanted more power than he had. I’d met him on a few occasions during Royal Banquets and Pack Meetings and he always showed up with an arrogant look on his face and a puffed-out chest, he’d done nothing to deserve that arrogance except be born.He wouldn't last a day with the Skeleton Army.I’d had no idea of what the bastard had done to Alyssa, so when I heard her recount the tale, trying not to stutter her words or tremble from the memory, I found myself wanting to finish what Caspian started.For once my brother’s impulsive wolf did something right.Soon, the messenger returned

Kai's POVMy father, the great Alpha King decided to take a recess in our courtroom and pulled Alexander and me into his study. I rolled my eyes, expecting to be scolded for my careless comments but I didn’t regret them. It was his fault I didn’t know my mother so I took the opportunity to take the jab at him.I'd known that I was a bastard since I was old enough to understand the word. I'd never been held by the Luna Queen, even as a pup, only by her maidservant who did it out of duty more than anything. Then when Alexander was born and people spoiled him rotten, I finally understood where I stood in the hierarchy they called family.Alexander was pathetic. He hung his head low as soon as we were out of the audience’s view to offer respect to his father and try to show his submission, hoping father wouldn’t be too angry at him.By the Goddess, he was like a child.My father’s room was old and dusty like an antique store. It had been the study of who knows how many Alpha Kings over th

Alyssa's POVI didn’t know it was possible to feel more vulnerable and alone than I’d felt, even before the Alpha King and the princes exited the throne room for whatever discussion or scolding was needed to be done behind closed doors. Even with Carter and Caspian still with me, I felt the animosity grow from the others left in the room like any protection I previously had just vanished. The Luna Queen was still there, looking at me with disdain as if she wondered what was so special about me.But it wasn’t just her that frightened me. Now that there were no princes to act as my shields, Freya’s demeanour changed massively. It didn’t help that she was favoured by the Luna Queen and it was doubtful anyone would stop her if she decided to act.She charged towards me even as Carter and Caspian growled at her. With the princes and the Alpha King no longer there, she knew that she was not in any real danger.“What do you think you’re playing at?” She hissed, her eyes glowing with an ange

Alyssa's POVEveryone was silent as the Alpha King returned to the throne room, the princes following quickly behind him. Alexander and Kai stopped behind me once again. Kai gave me a quick once-over, to check if anything had been done to me. Once he was satisfied there was nothing wrong, he simply nodded and looked at his father who now sat on his throne again.Alexander as a quiet, “Are you okay?”I just nodded at him stiffly, also turning my attention back on the Alpha King.“It’s a shame I can’t leave some of my most trusted Alphas alone without it almost descending into a fight,” The Alpha King scolded and my father and Alpha Thomas looked ashamed of themselves.With a heavy sigh, as if this meeting had taken too much energy out of him. I didn’t know why, all he had to do was sit on a throne and make a decision. Though, I supposed he did just have to entertain Prince Kai for a few minutes and that was enough to take a lot out of anyone.I looked at Prince Kai, trying to gauge wha

Alyssa's POVThe assassination attempt, though it freaked me out badly, might have actually been a blessing in disguise. Once Kai and I had gotten back to his palace I began working on his wound. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I saw that what I had done in the cave had worked. Kai’s wounds had stopped bleeding and though he was still being poisoned at least that was one less thing to worry about. He was still too pale for my liking though.“Can we get food delivered to your room?” I asked since food was always good to keep the energy up.“No,” Kai stated as he grabbed my hand like he thought I would head straight to the door anyway, “We can’t give anyone any reason to be suspicious.”Though I disagreed, I nodded along.I knew that I didn’t have too long to mess around as the wolfsbane concoction was still running rampant through Kai’s body. The first prince was strong but I didn’t know how long he’d be able to endure the pain.Already he was panting and sweating as we got him to

Alexander's POVIt had been a day since I’d last seen Alyssa. A whole goddamn day and not even a glimpse! No one else had seen her either since she ran from Kai after rejecting his proposal. I knew I would regret not going after her when I had the chance, but I didn’t think it would be like this with so much uncertainty and fear.Had Kai done something to her? I knew my brother wasn’t the most gentlemanly and had a horrid temper, but he wouldn’t have killed her… would he?Panic coursed through my chest and I tried to concentrate on our broken mate bond, I would’ve been able to feel it if she were dead.What worried me the most was that no one seemed to care about it, especially after Freya had suggested that ‘they probably couldn’t wait until their wedding night’. I wanted to snap at her because I knew Alyssa wasn’t like that, but under my mother’s watchful eye, I said nothing.I always seemed to be doing nothing!Suddenly there was a knock at my door and hope flooded through me.

Kai's POVEverything hurt. My chest felt so heavy and it was such an effort just to try to open my eyes. I didn’t know what was wrong, but I hadn’t felt this rough in a long time, maybe even ever.I felt a cool hand on my face, so cold it had me flinching, so either the person touching me was an ice cube or I had a fever. I tried to jerk my body awake to get away from the person watching me in this vulnerable position, but my body wasn’t listening to me. I hated it when it did that.The hand was soothing and though the cold burned against my flushed skin, I felt myself relax into its touch, a shaky breath leaving my chest.A few more minutes. I could let myself be taken care of for a few more minutes.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My eyes finally creaked open and pain blared from my shoulder where that fucking arrow had hit me. Once I found out who the fucker was he was going to wish he hadn’t missed. But it hadn’t been me he was aiming for…I took a deep breath as I thought back to the night
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 32
Alyssa's POVI ran until my lungs burned and my feet could barely carry me anymore. If I’d shifted and let Carys take over I could’ve run or flown as far as I wanted, but if I’d done that I knew I might not have come back. So I ignored the instinct to let my wolf out and kept running on my own.I ended up in the Royal Gardens. I’d been here once, long ago, when I had first come to the Royal Palace with my father and my mother. It was also the first time I’d met Kai and Alexander.Once, Alexander told me he knew I was his mate from the first time he’d met me, that would’ve been here in this very garden when we were young before Kai had gotten the scar over his face. Would things have been different if he had spoken up before then? Maybe we would’ve been married already.But things weren’t different, the ache in my legs and the burning of my chest reminded me of that well enough.I found a tree and sat down, leaning against it as I sucked in deep and desperate breaths. It was getting qu

Alyssa’s POV“What if I wanted you to stay?”I wasn’t sure that I heard what he said properly. Why on earth would he want me to stay? What Kai and I had, it was purely contractual, wasn’t it? I couldn’t think of any reason why he would want me to stay other than our deal.If anything, my staying with him would only damage his reputation more. He'd be far less likely to become Alpha King with me at his side. I had no political power, I was just a disgraced daughter who wasn't even heir to our pack anymore because of my younger brother.“What?” I asked, wondering if there was some kind of joke hidden behind his words.But the first prince had a stoic look as he waited for my reaction or response, “If I asked you to stay? Even after I was cured.”I tripped over as he spoke again, but Kai caught my waist so to the others it looked as if he were going to dip me. I was aware of his grip and the warmth that spread from his hands to my waist.“But, but, Your Highness, I have nothing for me he

Alexander's POVI just wanted to get this party over and done with. Usually, I didn’t mind them, I liked talking with my people and learning new things about the kingdom I hoped to inherit, but this one I just couldn’t enjoy. Caspian was reminding me every five seconds why.You should be here with Alyssa, not Freya.I’d stopped responding to him after a little while because none of the reasons or excuses I reminded us of could convince my wolf to be happy with the situation. Hell, I barely convinced myself of them.I was certain I’d made the right decision by rejecting Alyssa and taking Freya as my bride, especially with my mother's constant praise of the matter. But, the more I saw Alyssa, the more I longed for her and wanted to protect her. When I saw her in that arena… I didn’t know that I could feel fear like I did at that moment. I wanted to jump down and protect her. Granted, she didn't need it, but that wasn't the point.“What’s the matter, dear?” Freya’s voice pulled me out of

Alyssa's POVTrue to his word, Kai knocked on my door at five on the dot. I was dressed and ready so opened the door, seeing the first prince dressed immaculately in the doorway. He took my breath away.He was dressed in a black tunic with golden embroidery tracing over his body in intricate swirls and patterns. Over his breast pocket was a golden wolf, the symbol of the Royal Family. He wore black trousers that hugged him appreciatively and white gloves. On top of his head was a golden circlet to show off his status as it merged with his blonde hair naturally. He didn’t just look like a prince, but also a soldier.I supposed this ball was just another type of battlefield. It certainly felt like it was going to be that. I had to stop myself from staring at him too much. If he thought I was beautiful or anything along those lines he didn’t show anything. I pushed a strand of my hair that was falling behind my ear, trying not to feel too self conscious.Kai presented his arm for me to
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 28
Kai's POVI was half tempted to punch the living daylights out of my younger brother for the stunt he tried to pull. Not only had he tried to gift Alyssa a dress, which was a clear invitation to the ball when he already had a fiance, but he also wanted to gift her a golden one! If I didn’t think he had a brain in that head of his this certainly proved it.Did he have any idea the kind of chaos he could’ve caused if Alyssa accepted that damned gown? No, he didn’t, because he’d always been a stupid, spineless punk who got everything handed to him.But this time he didn’t, because Alyssa had rejected his dress and accepted mine. A thrill went through my body as I remembered that and a smile brought itself to my face. Rarely was I the first choice, and even if it was because we’d made a deal or not, she’d chosen me, not the mate who rejected her.Just as I was planning to leave my father’s own to return to my own, I ran into my pathetic excuse for a brother who looked positively pissed.
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 27
Alyssa's POVI didn’t get much of a chance to rest after my fight with Taylor. I was taken back to the room that the Alpha King had placed me in and immediately flopped on my bed, burying my face in the soft pillows and blankets.My heart was still racing from the fight even though all the energy in my body faded. I stared up at the canopy of my bed and took in a deep breath. The fight had barely lasted for ten minutes but with how I was feeling it felt like it had been going on forever as all the anger and fury in me took over. I wanted to close my eyes and sleep the rest of the day away, my bones and joints aching and I could feel Carys resting in the recesses of my mind, but only an hour after I returned to my room, there was a knock at the door.I was half tempted to ignore it and sleep, but the door knocked again, more incessantly. With a groan I stood and walked towards it, opening it slightly. Prince Kai was standing at my door with a servant carrying a box behind him, giving
