2025-01-10 18:18:34Alexander’s POV
I thought I would be able to get over Alyssa easily, it wasn’t like I knew her anymore and I already committed myself to Freya. But my chest ached with a dullness that was hard to ignore. Maybe it was just the broken mating bond. I was in my palace, trying to regulate my emotions with servants scattered around tidying and making noise. “Everyone get out!” I grumbled, throwing my handout, not wanting to be around anyone at the moment. I heard ‘sorry’s and ‘excuse me’s but it wasn’t as if I was going to hurt any of my servants. Caspian was the hot-tempered ill-mannered one between the two of us. For once I was grateful he was not here. He’d tear down the walls of my room as punishment for what I did. And if any servants got in his way… I wouldn’t want to be them. I wondered where he had gone too but tried not to think of him too much. Quickly, I went to the cabinet where I kept my wine and took out a fresh bottle thinking that maybe the alcohol could calm the thudding in my heart. I barely swallowed when I heard the thumping of feet echoing through the palace getting closer and closer. People yelped and hurried to get out of the way just before Caspian lept through the doors, almost taking them off the hinges as he growled. I glared at him, taking another sip of my bottle before placing it back down. “Caspian! I did not let you out for you to cause havoc!” I yelled, getting gradually angrier. There was splintered wood scattered across the floor and I could’ve sworn I heard someone crying in distress. “Get ahold of yourself, you’re a royal wolf.” “There’s no time,” He growled back at me. There wasn’t just fight and defiance in his eyes, but also fear. Something was wrong. “Are we under attack?” Caspian shook his head fiercely, “No, worse! Your bastard of a brother has taken our mate and you are going to get her back.” He was already headed towards the door before I yanked him back and stood in front of him, my heart hammering at his words. “What are you talking about?” “He took her away from me!” Caspian growled, pattering at the floor impatiently, “He said she’s his. That our mate belongs to him now!” Kai and I had rarely gotten along, we were in constant competition with each other to ascend the throne. Could this be part of it? I felt fury run through my veins. If he hurt Elise just to get to me I would tear him apart. Kai was the general of the Skeleton Army, the most ruthless force our kingdom had and there was hardly anything that could stop him from getting what he wanted. He could hurt her, torture her or forcibly mark her and there was nothing anyone would do to stop him. Maybe it was the mating mark still aching from the break, but I could feel myself getting angrier and more protective with each passing second. Without another word, I lept onto Caspian’s back and he ran like the wind to find Alyssa. Caspian caught Alyssa’s scent quickly as he ran to the forest behind the palace, practically flying over the ground. He slowed down as we caught sight of them, Capsian waiting for me to make a call. Alyssa was sat on a rock, hand by Kai’s face staring at him with an expression I couldn’t describe. They looked like a couple in love working each other out. Kai had always hated his scar since he’d come home with it one day, killing people who mocked it and refusing to talk about it, yet here Alyssa was, touching it so intimately like a lover. Caspian whimpered, feeling the same kind of jealousy that I was feeling. Alex, she’s ours. I urged Caspian forward shouting furiously, “Don’t touch her!” They broke apart quickly, Alyssa looking at me with shock whilst Kai just rolled his eyes. He stood from the rock, holding his hand out to help Alyssa. She thanked him and left the rock with him, neither of them let go of the other’s hand. “Alex!” Kai greeted me with false friendliness, “What brings you here?” I growled, looking at their hands still gripped together. Alyssa looked down and tried to pull away, and Kai obliged, only to grab her by the waist and keep her close to him. “Let her go, Kai. She’s got nothing to do with this.” “Nothing to do with this?” Kai asked, smiling mockingly at me, “Why that’s quite a rude way to address your sister-in-law.” My heart shattered hearing those words. I didn’t care if I’d rejected her and was already engaged, she was supposed to be mine… Wasn’t she?

Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 9
Alyssa’s POVAlexander was looking at me with hurt and betrayal in his eyes and my stomach wracked with guilt. But what right did he have to look at me like that? He’d rejected me first. He was engaged to the step-sister who helped make my life a living hell.Besides, it’s not like I had much of a choice but to let Prince Kai pretend we were engaged. The punishment for escaping the Red Maple camp was death, even if I had returned in the end.I didn’t know when or how the first prince found out, but there was nothing I could do except play along with his game. A favour for a favour. He wouldn’t spill my secret if I managed to heal him. How I was going to do that was a completely different story.I looked between Prince Kai and Alexander as I shuffled closer to Prince Kai and nodded.“It’s true, Prince Kai has just proposed to me… I accepted.” I lied, feeling the tension growing between the two brothers. Alexander looked like he wanted to murder his brother, but Kai simply looked at hi

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

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

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

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

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

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“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
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 59
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
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 58
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
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 57
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
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 55
Alyssa's POVI had to take a minute to sit down and think as I finished the last few pages of Alpha Aaron’s journal. It was like he knew that something was wrong. He hadn’t trusted Vivian for a while so why did he allow her to take care of him?Was it because he was too weak to protest? His handwriting showed how weak he was. Or had she threatened to keep Freya away from him permanently? I wouldn’t put it past the woman to do that. And if she had done something to Alpha Aaron, did she have something planned for my father?I thought learning more about Alpha Aaron would help me solve my problems, but instead, I only had more questions that needed answers and only two people alive could answer them. Vivian would never say anything to me about him, but Freya… She wasn’t as skilled in the art of manipulation as her mother.“Where do we go from here?” Alexander asked, his head in his hands like he was in just as much shock as me.“I don’t know,” I replied with honesty as my hope began to d
