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

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 18

    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

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 1

    Alyssa’s POVThe Red Maple Camp was not a kind place. It was created to imprison criminals and dangerous wolves. I certainly didn’t belong there, I was surprised I had lived this long. For the past five years, every breath I took and every word I muttered resulted in pain and punishment. It was my turn to clean the floors as part of my daily chores and I pulled at the wound on my back from the countless beatings and whippings I’d taken. I let out a hiss of pain, the wound and hunger making me dizzy. I took a deep breath, leaning on my hands to take a small break.My wolf, Carys, whimpered in warning, but it was too late when my watcher walked in. His eyes moved to the floor as he saw I wasn’t finished before his gaze roamed my body, making me shiver in disgust.I expected him to beat me for slacking off, but instead, he said, “It’s your lucky day Alyssa. Alpha Henry has come to collect you.”That couldn’t be right, could it? Had my father truly come to take me away from this place?T

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 2

    Alyssa’s POVThe first face I saw when I returned home was Vivian, smiling innocently at me as she opened her arms, pulling me into a hug, “Welcome home, Alyssa.”I didn’t return her hug, just gave her a sharp nod and stepped back, I didn’t want to address her at all, let alone have her touching me. It was then I noticed the amount of wolves gathered, watching this reunion. I spotted faces I hadn’t seen since I was little, so many alphas and lunas that it was hard to keep track.“I wasn’t aware we were to have an audience, love,” My father spoke to Vivian.Vivian looked around in mock shock as she placed a hand on her heart, “Honey, don’t you think today is a special day? It’s not every day an alpha’s daughter turns eighteen! And I’m sure it’s tradition for the birthday girl to have a shifting ceremony.”My father opened his mouth to speak, quickly looking between Vivian and me. It was only my thirteenth birthday that Vivian had sacrificed her child and my father lost his true heir.

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 3

    Alyssa’s POVMy father rarely mentioned my mother anymore, so hearing him say that, here in front of everyone made my heart ache.“Did mother have wings?” I asked softly through our pack’s mind speak. I had been so young I hardly remembered her.“She did, she was the only one in her family to have them. They were small, but they were a symbol of power, especially since the Feather Wing Pack had almost lost that magic entirely. Your mother was a very special woman and would be so proud to see this.”I wish she could see me too, I thought to myself. If she were here I wouldn’t have endured those years in Red Maple Camp.Whilst I was lost in my thoughts a my father’s praise, neither I nor Carys saw the stone flying towards us. The stone cracked against Carys’ face and she couldn’t help but let out a sharp growl.Caleb was glaring at us with more anger than a four-year-old should know, “Go away! Go away! You’re going to ruin my family!” He cried.He reached down, picking up another stone

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 4

    Alexander’s POVI knew it was her from the second I saw her. Five years had grown and matured her with her silky chocolate hair cascading down the small of her back. Her blue eyes shined with defiance and will and it almost made me smile, proud to see the woman she had grown into. Our Mate, Caspian whispered to me in pride. Quickly, I shut him out as I reminded myself of why I was here.I hid around a corner after my glimpse of her. My mother had instructed me to wait until after Alyssa’s shift to make my appearance. It didn’t matter what her wolf was like, whether it was small and weak or strong and powerful, I was here to reject my mate, not accept her.“Alex, my dear boy, Frey is who I have chosen for you,” My mother, the Luna Queen Lina, reminded me before I set off for the ceremony, “This marriage will give you the support of both the Fire Bone pack as Vivian’s daughter and the Ice Heart pack as the future Alpha’s sister. You need every advantage if you want your father to pass

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 5

    Alyssa’s POVI didn’t know if it was the sudden change of weather or the stress from the rejection, but I suddenly fell ill. I couldn’t eat and would barely sleep. My father insisted the servants brought me medicine and food, but I could barely stomach it. The iron bracelet on my wrist felt cold against my feverish skin. I stared at it with empty eyes, twisting my wrist to see it dance around my skin. After I shifted and Carys almost attacked Caleb, my father locked the bracelet around my wrist, restricting Carys and her abilities just in case. I could barely communicate with Carys, I couldn’t grow my wings and I couldn’t shift. Only he or someone more powerful could take it off. But it seemed the bracelet was also restricting my wolf’s healing abilities. I shouldn’t have been this sick. “You look like shit.”I didn’t even notice that Freya had entered my room until she spoke those cruel words. She barely had a foot in my room, like she was disgusted just seeing me.“Go away,” I mu

    Alyssa's POV “Try this one.” My fiance, Taylor, ordered as his eyes trailed over me. As my father promised, he arrived at our pack in the early morning and I was pushed to meet him. My father thought a shopping trip for our future wedding would be a good bonding experience so we were in a store with me trying on dress after dress until Taylor was satisfied. It made me uncomfortable that there seemed to be no one else around at the moment. Maybe he wanted a chance to get to know me alone, but I didn’t like the thought of being with this man. Not with the way he looked at me. I left the dressing room in a blue off-the-shoulder dress that clung to my curves dramatically with a low cut on the chest. I tried to convince him I didn’t like it but he insisted. It felt like I was naked. Suddenly, Taylor pulled me against him so that we were face to face and my body was against his. I tried to push away but he held me tighter, admiring my exposed skin and curves with an evil grin. I

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 7

    Alyssa's POV I recognised him immediately, those piercing blue eyes were difficult to forget. The illegitimate first prince of the kingdom, Kai. He couldn’t have looked more different to his brother if he tried, golden hair, blue eyes, tall and broad shoulders, the only imperfection was the deep, jagged scar running down the side of his face, almost clipping his eye. “Move,” Caspian growled, trying to stand tall to show his authority. Kai’s wolf just growled back, taking a threatening step forward and snapping his jaws in a challenge. “What’s wrong Cas?” Prince Kai asked mockingly as he looked at me with interest, “I’m just being friendly.” “I know what your version of ‘friendly’ means,” Caspian took a step backwards as if he’d run away with me on his back. “Relax pup, I need a favour from the beautiful lady on your back.” I tried to ignore that comment as I slid off of Caspian’s back and fumbled into a clumsy curtsey, knowing I didn’t look the part of an alpha’s daughter

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 16

    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,

  • 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

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 14

    Alyssa's POVI looked to the floor as my blood ran cold at the messenger's words. Of course I would be expected to see the Alpha King, not only was I ‘engaged’ to one son but I was rejected by the other. I felt so stupid that surprise had rocketed through me.What was I supposed to say? What was I supposed to do? I hadn't had any formal experience for the last five years considering where I'd been and the last time I had, I was a child. I would make a fool out of myself.Slowly, I lifted my head and saw Alexander looking back at me, worry coating his face and Caspian looked like he wanted to step forward and comfort me. But Kai’s arms were still wrapped around me and I doubted he would let go of me, especially with the announcement.“Wasn’t she in the Red Maple Prison?” Someone from the crowd called and both princes looked up to glare.“Ah, so she’s a whore and a criminal, wonder how many people she was with in prison?”I felt my cheeks burn and my eyes water at the insinuation. The R

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 13

    Alexander's POVI hated seeing the two of them so close together. I hated the way my brother touched her in front of me and I hated him even more when I saw that she tried to move away and he pulled her back. I felt a growl erupt from my throat and Caspian was immediately at my side.“Get your hands off of her,” I ordered, taking a step towards Kai. Brother or not, I wouldn’t let him hurt her or force her to do anything.Kai smirked at my demand, almost laughing like a child trying to order his parents. But instead of doing what I told him, he pressed a kiss against her cheek, despite her obvious discomfort and the crowd wolf whistling at the display.Carter was standing in front of my brother and so close to Alyssa that she would be touching him if she took a step forward they would be touching. The only person that Carter was close to was Kai, he always kept a firm distance from anyone else and was only around people when necessary. Why was he so attached to Alyssa already?Carter a

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 12

    Alyssa's POVIt was horrifying to see. I’d seen fights in the Red Maple camp before but this was different. This was brutal. Caspian was surrounded by prisoners and though lots of them had big builds and previous scars, they all looked tired and beaten down.They were like me, they hadn’t been fed properly during their time in the Red Maple Camp, and they would’ve been made to do so much labour that it would’ve hurt their joints. I pictured myself in that lineup with the rest of them. How many of them might have been innocent? How many had been in that camp for years, only to be released into a bloodbath?We’d just gotten to The Colosseum when I saw the scene. The sweet golden wolf who saved me and tried to look after me was now on a murderous rampage.“Caspian!” I called desperately, hoping he could hear me through the bloodlust.He looked up, noticing me but he was still on top of the prisoner, unaware of his claw digging into the man and drawing blood,“Caspian, please stop!” I did

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 11

    Caspian’s POVMy vision was glazed with red and my mind was spinning fast so that one moment I was watching that bastard with his arm wrapped around my mate, the next I was ushered through The Colosseum, ready for blood.Alex was an idiot, an absolute, utter, fucking idiot. Ever since I saw Alyssa and her wolf Carys, I knew she was mine and not only did Alex chase her away, but now Kai had taken her as his own and there was nothing else I could do about it.The Colosseum was ancient and had been around as long as the kingdom itself. It was created as a way for Alphas to challenge one another or to resolve conflicts. It was still used for that, but it was also a way of entertainment now. Prisoners would be retrieved for competitions, sometimes allowing their freedom, other times for the royal family to vent their anger out on. Those ones would’ve stayed in the Red Maple Camp for the rest of their lives. This was a mercy.Members of the court had spotted me as I raced through the forest

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 10

    Alyssa’s POVKai rolled his eyes but he didn’t put up a fight. Carter lowered his head and Kai lifted me by my waist, causing me to gasp, as he placed me by Carter’s neck before sitting on his wolf behind me.“Kai!” Alexander objected to the touching.Prince Kai only offered his brother a small salute before Carter was off running. He ran so quickly that I was thrown against Prince Kai’s back and felt myself blush. Shaking my head, I tried to ignore whatever girlish feeling was churning in my stomach, now was not the time to be self-conscious. “When will we get there?” I asked, focusing on the path ahead. Hopefully we got there before Caspian could hurt too many people. Kai’s mouth was suddenly by my ear, making me stiffen up, “Don’t worry about it, we’ll get there when we get there.” I tried to swat him away from me and almost lost my balance. He grabbed me by the waist and kept me upright, looking at me like an idiot. Maybe I was, to get in the middle of this after everything I’d
