Tristan’s pov

I didn’t make it five steps and that was all it took.

Five steps toward Geoffrey and Barbara before everything went sideways again.

“Tristan.” Her voice wasn’t loud because It didn’t need to be.

There was something in it that was sharp and controlled that made me stop anyway.

I didn’t turn immediately, didn’t want to and didn’t feel like dealing with her again.

But then, her hand wrapped around my wrist.

It was firm and unapologetic. “Come with me.”

I exhaled slowly. “Cheryl..”

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   Things Left Unsaid

    Barbara’s povI didn’t remember how I got back to the dorm.One minute, I had been standing outside the cafeteria staring at my phone while the video played in front of half the academy, and the next minute, I was running.I was running past students, past classrooms, past people whispering behind their hands and past people who suddenly knew something intimate about me that I had never intended to share.My chest hurt, my throat burned and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop hearing those whispers.“That’s Barbara?” I kept hearing people mutter as I ran.“She is with Tristan?” Another one said.“He chose her out of all the girls in this school?” Another one said.“What about Cheryl?” Another one said.“Didn’t he used to hate her? What changed?” Another one spat.“That video is so insane. I didn’t even know she was that skilled.” Another one muttered as I ran past her without even thinking of turning to check who it was.I pushed open the dormitory door and practically stumble

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   The Video

    Barbara’s povThe tension in my chest didn’t fully disappear even after Cheryl left.It lingered there quietly while Tristan and I stood in the middle of the courtyard watching her walk away like a storm that promised to come back worse.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.I think both of us were trying to process what had just happened or maybe recover from it.Honestly, I wasn’t even sure anymore.One moment I had been getting ready for what I thought was a simple lunch date.The next moment Cheryl was standing in front of me talking about Tristan like I was stealing something that belonged to her.And maybe that was the worst part because despite everything, a small guilty part of me still wondered if she was right.“You’re thinking too loudly again.” He said.I blinked and looked up.Tristan stood beside me with his hands inside his pockets, watching me carefully. “You can hear thoughts now?” I demanded.“No,” he said calmly. “But your face gives you away.”“That’s rude.”“It

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   Barbara

    Tristan povMy pulse spiked instantly because I’d texted Barbara earlier.I had told her to meet me at the courtyard.If Cheryl had my phone, then she knew exactly where Barbara would be.“Shit.”Professor Hale looked confused. “Tristan, is there something wrong?”But I was already moving too fast.I rushed out of the classroom and straight down the hallway.Students stared as I passed them.Some moved aside immediately and others whispered.I ignored all of them because now the terrible feeling in my chest finally made sense.This wasn’t about the phone.It was about Barbara, Cheryl had planned this and if she cornered Barbara alone…Who knows what she’d say to her or even worse.I pushed harder through the crowd outside, barely slowing down as I crossed campus toward the courtyard.Every ugly possibility kept replaying in my head.Cheryl exposing the video, threatening Barbara again, manipulating her and humiliating her.And honestly?The thought of Barbara standing there alone deal

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   The Missing Phone

    Tristan’s povSomething felt wrong the second I left the dorm.At first, I ignored it.I thought maybe it was just nerves which was ridiculous already because I did not get nervous.Not before fights, not before exams and definitely not before meetings with my father.So there was absolutely no reason I should be nervous over lunch with Barbara.Yet there I was, walking across campus with my heartbeat acting strangely and my thoughts completely scattered.I felt a bit pathetic which was unlike me.Geoffrey would never let me hear the end of it if he knew.Actually, both of them would especially Jeremiah.I could already hear his annoying voice in my head. “You are so whipped, brother.” I scoffed quietly to myself and shoved my hands deeper into my pockets while continuing toward the café district near the courtyard.The weather was nice for once.There was cool breeze, cloudy skies and some of the students everywhere laughing and walking around like they didn’t have assignments threa

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   The Wrong Person

    Barbara’s povThe second Tristan disappeared down the hallway after class, my heart started acting stupid again.I think it has completely gone stupid now, and it feels so dangerous being stupid than being mad at him. I stood outside the classroom for a few extra seconds pretending to adjust my bag while internally trying to calm myself down.“Lunch. It is literally just lunch, barbar. Why are you so excited about it?” I pondered.People ate together every day without acting like their entire world was shifting off its axis.So why did this feel so terrifying?I hated the answer immediately because it mattered and that was exactly the problem I had with it.Somewhere between the training sessions, arguments, stolen kisses, sarcastic remarks, and late-night conversations, Tristan had somehow become important to me.And honestly?I didn’t know when that happened or how or even why?But now I was standing in the middle of a crowded hallway trying not to smile like an idiot because he as

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   None Of Your Business

    Tristan’s povThe entire class felt unbearably long.It was not because the lecture was difficult, and also wasn’t because Professor Hale was droning on about ancient territorial laws for nearly two straight hours.The main reason was because Barbara sat three rows ahead of me, and for the first time in my life, I couldn’t focus on anything else.It was ridiculous.I’d survived years of academy training, brutal combat sessions, political dinners, impossible expectations from my father, and Cheryl practically stalking me since childhood.Yet somehow, one girl agreeing to eat lunch with me had me distracted like an idiot.I hated that realization, especially because Geoffrey noticed immediately.Of course he did, that idiot noticed everything.“You’re smiling again,” he whispered from beside me.I didn’t even look at him. “I’m not.”“You literally are.” He pressed.“No.” I said.“Yes.”I sighed sharply. “Do you ever shut up?”“Sometimes.”“When?”“When I’m asleep.” He rolled his eyes an

    Barbara’s povThe garden always felt quieter than the rest of the campus.Even when students passed through, their voices seemed softer there like the trees absorbed noise and kept it for themselves.Lily and I walked side by side along the stone path, the late afternoon sun filtering through the l

    Barbara’s povBy the time Lily and I were walking toward our morning classes, the campus already felt loud.The Students moving in groups, books pressed to chests and low conversations floating through the air which was normal in the school.At least on the surface, that was what Lily and i thought

    Tristan’s povThe letter wasn’t sitting well with me, it wasn’t because it was threatening and also wasn’t because someone thought they could intimidate her into making her stay away from us.But it was because someone had gotten close enough to do it. It was quite obvious that the person who did i

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   The Warning Signs

    Barbara’s povThe letter didn’t leave my mind, not for a second. Instead, it kept on following me through lectures as it was beside me in the cafeteria when I went to grab lunch before my afternoon classes started.All I could hear was my echoes even when I tried to focus on my notes and even when
