Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 17
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 POVI took a deep breath as I stopped just outside of Prince Kai’s room. As he promised yesterday, one of his attendants called on me and brought me to the prince’s palace. It wasn’t as grand as the Alpha King’s, which was to be expected, but it had a nice quaint feeling to it, the kind of place someone could run away to in order to get away from everything.The attendant brought me to the door before he excused himself. I was to go in alone. To anyone watching it was normal for a wife-to-be to see her husband and his home before they were married, but just standing outside his door felt too intimate.I’d never had a partner before. I was thirteen when I was sent to the Red Maple Camp and the people I was imprisoned with weren’t the type of people I wanted to form romantic relationships with. With Alexander, I’d barely spent a minute with him before he rejected me and shattered my heart and soul to pieces.Slowly, I lifted my hand to knock on the door, but just as I was abou

Kai's POVThere were multiple reasons why I never told anyone who gave me this scar and why. One of those reasons was that I didn’t want to show any kind of weakness to my enemies, and in the palaces there were too many enemies to count.Another reason was that it was simply embarrassing. If people knew I’d been distracted by love and pretty words I’d never hear the end of it and my reputation as the General of the Skeleton Army would become non-existent.But the real, honest-to-goddess reason was that I hated it whenever people looked at me with pity. Pity was the worst kind of emotion possible because people looked down on you as if it was someone else’s fault.So when I finally told Alyssa, a woman whose mate had broken her heart and spirit only minutes after meeting him, I expected her to look at me with nothing but pity and was prepared to throw her out of my palace without a second thought on whether I truly needed her or not.I was shocked to find her nodding, a hint of empathy

Alexander's POVI hadn’t even heard the woman approach before she had Alyssa’s hair in her grip, yanking her to the floor. Everything felt like it had gone in slow motion. One second I was doing my hardest to make Alyssa smile, the next I heard her yelp in pain before she was tossed onto the floor.“Who do you think you are!?” She screamed, “How dare you manipulate His Royal Highness!”I couldn’t recall a time that a singular voice had angered me to the core. My mother would upset me, my brother would piss me off and Freya was simply annoying, but this woman’s command, her assault on my mate, buried a deep hole of hatred into my soul.“And who the fuck do you think you are?” I growled, sounding like my brother as I stood to my full height.Caspian didn’t need my permission to leave my body this time as he ripped free, sending a menacing roar at the servant.“Y-your Highness-” She stammered, quickly pulling herself into a bow, but I didn’t give a shit because she still had her hands w

Alyssa's POV“You’ve got to be kidding, you can’t do that!” I asked, aghast that the prince would even suggest such a thing.For one, if Moira, let alone the Luna Queen, found out that the second prince was on his knees cleaning like a common maid and that I had let him, I would be punished beyond imagination.Secondly, if they found out I hadn’t done this by myself I would probably also be punished for that too. It wasn’t as if I had friends among the rest of the staff. Also if he messed anything up it would be deemed my fault.And thirdly, even if by some miracle Moira believed that I could do something like this by myself, she would probably increase my workload just out of spite.“What’s there to joke about?” Alexander asked, tilting his head in utter confusion.I inwardly sighed, he may have been a prince but he had no idea how the world truly worked. “Your Highness, look at our positions right now. You are a prince, I am a maid. It would be improper for you to help me do my job
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 62
Alyssa's POVI faced a smack to the face from the Luna Queen’s head maid. The blow took me by surprise. Even though I was currently a maid for the Luna Queen, I was still an Alpha’s daughter so I hadn’t expected physical abuse from the others.I held my hand to my cheek, looking at Moira, the head maid, with shock and confusion.Moira was a short, stocky kind of woman with a head full of grey hairs and wrinkles, she had been in service to the Royal Family for a long time, but her allegiance was with the Luna Queen more than anyone else, and by my association with Prince Kai and the ‘carnage’ I had caused between Alexander and FFreya, I was an enemy to her.I’d just been cleaning the Luna Queen’s shoes. Moira looked over the row I had cleaned and picked up one of the shoes before turning her furious hand onto me.“Is this what you’d call clean?” She hissed, shoving the shoe in my face, “This isn’t the Red Maple Camp, pup. You’re a servant of the Royal Household, act like it!”If the sh

Kai's POVThankfully, by the time I returned to my camp none of my men had noticed me missing and no one else had disappeared under Leon’s watch. It seemed I was correct in thinking that it was a diversion. The assassins hadn’t been able to find Alyssa and I hoped that she would be safe at home.We had to move further south and Mother Nature was on our side as the wet, muddy terrain was blessed by the sun and things became warmer. No more wringing socks out by the fire or having clumps of dirt caught in fur.But, even though conditions were better, I’d felt more uncomfortable than ever. I had a tarp instead of a cave floor, I had a tent over my head instead of spiders and a warm fire instead of shivering in blankets. But there was something I had then that I didn't have now.Alyssa.Her smile, her laughter, her voice, and her scent were all worth it.But at that moment instead of being with her, I was stuck with burly brutes who hardly knew how to bathe and clean up after themselves.
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 60
Alexander's POV I didn’t know what game my mother was playing but unfortunately, I had no choice but to go along with it if I wanted to ensure that Alyssa stayed safe. Regardless of whether my engagement with Freya was back on, she wouldn’t forgive Alyssa for supposedly coming between us.I was partly to blame for that, I hadn't exactly been subtle with my affection for Alyssa, no matter how much I tried to hide it and squash it into the ground.We sat together in the carriage. I was on one side with Freya holding me, her head on my shoulder as Alyssa sat on the opposite side, her gaze never moving away from the window.I’d give anything to know what thoughts were running around her head. I’d give anything to be able to fix the ones that made her frown.But I was part of the problem. All of this could’ve been avoided if I had just accepted her in the first place.“Aren’t you so excited for the wedding, Alex?” Freya asked, craning her face towards me so that her lips were only a few c

Alyssa's POVDespite the incident with Freya, the next few days passed peacefully, so much so that Vivian even smiled at me a couple of times. Genuine smiles.With Freya’s engagement to Alexander back on and being planned at the moment, and with Kai being stationed far away in the South for a who knows how long amount of time, Vivian didn’t see me as a threat anymore. She had everything she wanted.A powerful Alpha husband, an heir to inherit that title and her daughter to be a princess and possibly Luna Queen.With Vivian’s change in character, it was clear to me that Freya must’ve not mentioned any part of our conversation to her mother about Alpha Aaron. Either she thought it wasn’t worth the hassle or she was scared that if she told her mother and Vivian retaliated it would confirm whatever she thought I knew.So with the first bit of peace of mind I'd had for a long time, I relaxed.With the wedding preparations taking place, everyone had been neglectful of Caleb who was still on

Alyssa's POVAlexander was so convincing in his pleas that I almost believed it. If I hadn’t known any better I would’ve thought this display to be genuine and that he'd done this in front of me again just to spite me.I glanced up slightly, having looked away when Freya had launched herself at my mate. My heart stammered as I looked at the passionate kiss and saw Alexander looking right at me.I looked down again.Caleb tightened his grip on my hand. He was still so young that he didn’t understand what a mate bond was or felt like, he barely understood the concept. But even still, my younger brother must’ve sensed that there was a hollow space within my soul and the cause of that hollowness was the man kissing Freya. He squeezed again, letting me know that he was there.I squeezed his hand back and smiled at him.“We should give them some privacy, shouldn’t we?” I said, wanting to get Caleb away from whatever manipulation was happening there.Caleb smiled and pulled me towards the do

Alexander;s POVThe last time I was alone with Alyssa I’d made a right ass of myself. The last time we were alone I’d confessed to her and she rejected me so being alone with her now I couldn’t help but feel awkward and a sense of longing. I wanted to hold her and beg her to forgive me again, but it wasn't the time. What do you say to a girl you hurt and now are in love with?But I still wasn’t going to give up, not until she gave me a chance.Even if she didn’t I was going to protect her. And not because Kai told me to. I was going to make sure she was safe. We stood just outside of the Ice Heart Pack’s territory line and she gave me a small smile.I ran through the plan in my head again.The plan was that Alyssa would stealthily return to her room. Only two people in the Pack House knew that she had left the pack territory, those two people being a trusted maid and her brother. No one else should’ve expected that she would go anywhere else.She would make herself known and half an h
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 56
Kai's POVI didn’t like leaving things like this. There was an assassin still out there targeting Alyssa who for all I was aware of, may have been following us now, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Then there was this whole conspiracy that Vivian was a part of.How could I just leave her like that?But my duty was as the General of the Skeleton Army and if my father wasn’t already informed I hadn’t been seen at my post, he would about to be soon. I knew what the punishment would be, and it wouldn’t just be for me either. It would be for my squad and possibly even Alyssa too if my father found her to blame.Still, even with all of that in mind, it was hard to just walk away as if nothing had happened.We had only a few minutes before I needed to depart and Alyssa had to sneak home. Alex was to escort her, letting her be seen first before he announced himself and his engagement with Freya was back on. That was part of the plan, but it still didn’t feel right to leave.Even Carter w
