Alexander’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 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

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 77

    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
