All Chapters of Torn Between The Alpha Princes: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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

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. Quic

Kai's POVI didn’t know how long I’d been asleep for, but it must’ve been one of the best nights of sleep of my life. I woke up, with no aching or soreness in my body even though I knew I should’ve still been in a lot of pain, even my scar didn't throb like it always did. I sat up and rolled my shoulder, surprised that there was no stiffness in it.Then I noticed my hands. Because of the poison, I’d gotten paler as my body tried to fight it off, but now my hands looked warmer like whatever was draining them had gone.I looked to my side, and there she was. Alyssa had her head placed on the bed, eyes closed tightly. She looked so calm and peaceful as she slept. How long had she been working on me?Not wanting to disturb her, I shifted to the other side of my bed and placed the blanket over her so that she would stay warm.As much as I wanted to stay in bed and recover some more, I had a lot of work to do, firstly with finding the bastard who attacked Alyssa in the first place. Quickly

Alyssa's POVKai was gone by the time I woke up but one of his servants told me that he wanted to meet with me in the Royal Gardens. I found it odd that he wanted to meet me in the place we were attacked but it was daylight and there were guards everywhere. It was probably to discuss steps going forward but I already had a plan of my own. As far as I was aware from doing test after test, it looked like both poisons were gone.I didn't know how I’d managed it, but I’d done it.I followed the trail back to the Royal Gardens, enjoying the sun on my face since I’d spent the last few days in a cave or cooped up in a room, it was nice feeling the breeze brush against my skin.Then I saw him looking better than he had in days.Kai’s skin looked healthier, he was no longer sweating or grimacing in pain and his blonde hair had a healthy shine to it rather than being dull and sheer like it had been.Sensing my presence, he turned and smiled, nodding his head for me to come closer. I stood by hi

Alexander's POV“How foolish can you be? Do you know what you have just cost us?” My mother’s shrill voice drifted through one of my ears and then out of the other. I was acting as if I wasn't even in the room with her.I stood still, looking past her so I wouldn’t have to focus on her, hands clasped in front of me as I pretended to listen to my mother’s repetitive words. She sat on a chair in one of the palace’s many meeting rooms, tapping the arm of the chair rhythmically.“Do you understand how much effort I put in to secure that match for you?”Another rhetorical question she repeated about five seconds ago. Ever since I’d rejected Freya’s offer of a date, I’d realised that I didn’t want her at all, not even to secure the crown because what I wanted now was far more important than any jewel or kingdom.It was my mate, and I was going to fight tooth and nail to be given a second chance, even if she truly was in love with my brother.The moment that solidified my resolve was seeing
