2025-01-08 02:50:04Alyssa’s POV
I 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 mumbled, wanting to bury myself deeper into the blankets.
"I just want to plan for my new room,” She said with a slight shoulder shrug, “father says once you’re gone I can have this room.”
My heart stopped for a moment as I looked at her in confusion.
"I’m not going anywhere. This is my home. And he is not your father"
Freya scoffed and placed her hands on her hips, “This hasn’t been your home for a long time ‘sis’,” She said the word mockingly, “Henry is more of a father to me than you anyway. Get over it and accept your new place. You’re at the bottom now, there is no way father will take away your bracelet whilst you live with Caleb. I wouldn’t be surprised if you murdered him outright like the last one.”
Anger burned through me, but I knew that she was right. My own father didn’t trust me. He didn’t love me as much as he loved his new family.
"Don’t pretend that’s the truth, Freya. Not when it’s just you and me."
"I don’t know what you mean."
"You know Vivian framed me. You also knew how excited I was to have a little brother. You were part of this all along, weren’t you? And now you’ve taken my mate as well.”
Freaky growled and stormed further into the room, gripping me by the hair and tilting my head up by the strands so roughly it hurt/ I winced, but she only tightened her grip.
“Get it through your head bitch, he’s not your mate. He’s mine. And if you breathe a word against my mother again I’ll make you wish you were left to rot in that prison.”
As quickly as she had grabbed onto my hair, Freya let go and I almost banged my head against the headboard. She gave me a ruthless smile, “Best get packing, sis.” Before storming out and slamming my door shut.
I wanted to keep resting, but I couldn’t get Freay’s thoughts from my mind, so I got out of my bed, wrapped my dressing gown tightly around me and went to my father’s office, knocking gently.
I got up from the bed and knocked on the door of my father's study.
"Come in." He said, not even looking up from his documents.
"Where am I going, father?"
I hoped he would deny it, promise me that I’d be staying with him and no one would take me away from him ever again. But that wasn’t the case. He finally looked at me.
“Who told you?”
“So it’s true?” I asked, my voice cracking, tears stinging my eyes, “You’re sending me away again?”
He sighed, “I’m not sending you away, Alyssa. I’ve arranged a marriage between you and Vivian’s nephew, Taylor. Your marriage will bring our packs closer than ever since he’s the heir to the Fire Bone Pack.”
After my brutal rejection, I had expected my father to be more understanding. He’d lost his fated mate too, he knew the depths of that bond.
“You want to marry me off, just like that? After what happened?”
“I know how deeply a broken bond can scar, but choosing a new mate to love and cherish can help you heal.”
He was so blinded by his new love he’d practically forgotten my mother. He’d married an evil woman and had put me at the bottom of his list of priorities, I didn’t trust this match, especially if he shared blood with that wicked woman.
“I will not marry him,” I stated firmly, wondering if it even mattered what I thought
“Don’t be so ungrateful! You’re lucky anyone would choose to marry you after what you did! Especially an Alpha’s heir.”
And there it was, the truth of my father’s feelings. He hadn’t for one moment thought about whether I might be innocent or not, he hated me even if he tried so hard not to, he hated me.
Tears began to well in my eyes and I hurried to wipe them away before he could say anything. My sleeves had begun to slip down my wrists and arms as I did so and that’s when my father finally saw.
“Where did those scars come from?” My father growled, staring at the strips of flesh that were scarred from the sting of whips.
I laughed bitterly, “Did you think they would give me special treatment just because I’m an Alpha’s daughter? I was in a prison camp for five years, father. What did you think would happen?”
He turned around, his back now facing towards me as he let out a small growl, “You may go, Alyssa.”
I almost shouted in disappointment and anger. He’d seen the pain I’d been through, looked at the evidence tattooed on my skin but still wouldn’t let me have my wolf to protect me.
“I suppose I will be a scarred bride on my wedding day then, father.”
I turned to leave but my father sucked in a breath and mumbled, “I will take the bracelet off on your wedding day. Be prepared to meet your husband today.”

Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 79
Alyssa’s POVThere was a deathly quiet, only broken by the whispering whimpers of Freya’s breath, quick and calm, as if she breathed too loudly, the ghost would make her pay. She sat, quivering like a child as she stared at her father.“Why?” Evan repeated, a tad harsher than before, but it had an impact all the same.Freya squealed and pulled the blanket over her head, muttering and pleading that she wanted the ghost to go away, still trying to convince herself that it was all a dream.“What did I do to you that would warrant death, Freya?” Evan’s voice was sad, like he was remembering how much his brother cared for Freya. I remembered Alpha Aaron’s last few diary entries: The acknowledgement that his wife was unfaithful to him, that he would never get to see his daughter married, and that he only wanted to see her happy. I couldn’t help but wonder if he’d be disappointed in the way she turned out.Despite everything, part of me felt the slightest bit of sympathy for Freya. It wasn’
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 78
Alyssa's POVThe plan was set. Alpha Evan and I were in Freya’s room in the palace, waiting for Alexander to fulfil his part of the plan of bringing Freya here. I’d managed to help Alpha Evan into some make-up so he looked paler and sicker, similar to how he said his brother looked in the final few days of his life. I had to admit, I did a good job. If I believed in ghosts, I would have thought he might have been one. But the important thing was that Freya believed in them.We scanned Freya’s room, looking for places to hide, places where I could listen to be a second witness to her and Vivian’s crimes. Maybe, just maybe, with Alpha Evan and my testimonies, we could put at least Vivian behind bars. All the better too if she would be sent to the Red Maple Camp. The irony would be so satisfying.“So you’re just going to be in the wardrobe, correct?”I nodded. The plan wouldn’t work if I was there in the room too, but I had to know for myself, once and for all what Vivan had done to A

Alexander's POV“She was so horrible to me, Alex!” Freya was crying her usual crocodile tears the second she spotted me. Once again, I was trapped in her arms as she buried her head in my chest, dampening my suit with tears and listening to her talk about all the things Alyssa had supposedly done to her.“She practically threatened us and then your brother got involved! Oh, Alex, I was so scared.”I brushed my fingers through her hair, trying to calm her down slightly. Once upon a time maybe I would’ve believed her, but I knew her better at this point.And obviously, Kai had told me what happened and the plan they had come up with, so I needed to follow through with my part of it.“I will absolutely have a talk with him and complain to my mother regarding it. They’ll both be punished. He has no right to insult you and Alyssa needs to watch herself since you will be the future Luna Queen.”She seemed to smile in relief, but I knew there was a scheming mind beneath that innocent-looking
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 76
Alyssa's POVI wasn’t too concerned when Alyssa disappeared with Nolan. Did I want to wring his scrawny little neck and bury his body so no one would ever find him? Yes. But I wasn’t worried about her safety. Alyssa could take care of herself and she seemed to trust Nolan (making me want to kill him more).Another reason was that I was able to keep an eye on Freya, Vivian, and my stepmother. It helped that the Luna Queen barely left her throne, I wouldn’t have been surprised if her royal ass was glued to that thing. She was ordering the servants so that they were rushing around the ballroom non-stop. I had a feeling that it had something to do with me taking Alyssa away from her for the night. The servants were going to hate her more than they already did, but after that night she would no longer be a servant and have to put up with their bullying.And I was going to make them all suffer for the way they treated her.Vivian was practically flirting with all the other Alphas and Freya
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 75
Alyssa's POVAlpha Evan was still standing where I last saw him so it wasn’t hard to find him with Nolan in tow. I made eye contact with him and gestured to the side entrance where the servants usually came and went so they didn’t disturb the rest of the party members.He got the message and within minutes the three of us were standing just by the exit so it didn’t seem too suspicious. If anyone asked it was a conversation between two Alphas and a serving girl who was attending to their needs.“Alpha Evan,” I lowered my head to him, “It’s good to see you again.”“Likewise Little Wolf. And I see you’ve brought a friend.”I smiled, gesturing to Nolan, “This is Alpha Nolan of the Star Forest Pack. He is a close friend and shares a common enemy with us.”Alpha Evan looked around cautiously before nodding in agreement, “It’s good to have allies. You never know how many enemies you have around the corner. But are you sure I can trust him?”I looked at Nolan. Alpha Evan had no reason to trus
Torn Between The Alpha Princes Chapter 74
Alyssa's POVIt wasn’t easy. Honestly, I had no idea how I managed to make it out. I waited until the next communal exercise before sneaking to a specific corner. It was walled off and covered by trees, broken bits and pieces from failed construction and there it was, a tunnel barely big enough for an average person to fit through. But I wasn’t an average person.From my time being stuck in the prison, I’d been half-starved so had become a lot smaller than I’d previously been. Quickly, I looked to make sure no one was watching me, I got down on my hands and knees and began to crawl through the tunnel.How Austin knew this was here was beyond me, but I didn’t have time to think about it as I army-crawled my way through the dirt and muck. I scratched myself on twigs and stones, feeling the sting of the scratches. I kept going.After what felt like an hour, I finally felt cool fresh air hit my face as I left my tunnel. Now I had another problem: I was in the middle of nowhere with no i
