Barbara’s POV

By the time Lily and I stepped out of the dorm building, the morning felt… off.

It was not quiet, not calm. It felt very wrong like something was waiting.

I adjusted the strap of my bag over my shoulder, trying to ignore the lingering unease sitting heavily in my chest.

That strange pull from earlier hadn’t gone away. If anything, it felt stronger now.

More… aware and more present.

“You’re zoning out again,” Lily said beside me, nudging my arm lightly.

I blinked, snapping out of

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   Calm Your Balls

    Tristan’s povThe moment I stepped into our dorm, I already knew peace was not an option.It wasn’t because the room was loud, and also wasn't because Geoffrey was blasting music again or because Jeremiah was throwing basketballs at the wall like a caveman.No. That wasn’t the case at all.It was because both of them were sitting there waiting for me and whenever my brothers waited quietly for me?It usually meant one thing.It meant I was up for hours of interrogation.Geoffrey sat sprawled across the couch near the window, flipping through a notebook lazily while Jeremiah leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed.The second I entered, Jeremiah pointed dramatically. “There he is.”I stopped walking immediately. “Why do you sound like a disappointed father?”“Sit down.” He said.“That sounds threatening.” I teased.“Good.” He replied codly.I sighed heavily and tossed my bag onto the chair near the door. “What now?”Geoffrey glanced up from his notebook. “How was class

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   Go Be With Her

    Barbara’s PovSomething about that morning already felt off for some wierd reason.Maybe it was because I woke up late and almost wore two completely different shoes to class.Maybe it was because Lily had left the room before sunrise again without saying where she was going.Or maybe it was because I still couldn’t stop thinking about the weird phone conversation from two nights ago.Whatever it was, the feeling sat heavily in my chest the entire morning and unfortunately, it only got worse.“Are you listening to me?”Jeremiah snapped his fingers dramatically in front of my face as we walked down the stone pathway leading toward the academic building.I blinked. “Huh? What were you saying?”He gasped loudly. “You weren’t listening.”“You talk too much.” I pointed out.“That’s not the point.” He rolled his eyes.“It’s always the point.”Jeremiah clutched his chest like I’d mortally wounded him while I laughed softly under my breath.Honestly, being around him has become easy and comfo

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   Unwanted Partners

    Tristan’s povI hated mornings.It was not because I was tired and it wasn’t because of the classes either.It was definitely not because of my training with Barbara at all. In fact, I enjoy the training and I actually look forward to them every time I have one scheduled with her.Training before was always boring because it was always with my brothers, and they were pretty annoying to train with.I hated mornings because this school somehow managed to make every hallway feel like a battlefield before eight o clock.People shoved each other near lockers which pissed me off so muc.First years students ran around like scared rabbits like missing a class would automatically make you fail a class.The teacher on the other side looked two seconds away from losing their sanity.And somehow, Cheryl always appeared out of nowhere before breakfast like a curse specifically designed for me.So yes, mornings were terrible for me. That’s my own take, it’s personal and I don’t think that applies

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   A Suprise Gift Bag

    Barbara’s povI had barely had any sleep, actually I didn’t even have any sleep at all.That was a lie.I did sleep. I was just pulling y’all legs. Having training and lectures mixed every damn day is already stressful enough, surely it’s only a good sleep that can help with the stress.Being with Lily made me a bit tense but also made me feel comfortable because I wasn’t completely alone.At least, I still had someone to stay with me while I rested my head. Oddly, I didn’t feel the need to be on my toes every time she was in the room. Maybe that was the other part of my heart that desperately wanted all these to end and we could go back to how we were without having suspicions every damn day. What I would say though, was that it just wasn’t peaceful.Every time I closed my eyes, my brain replayed the same conversation over and over again. I just couldn’t help but replay the words I heard earlier. It was as if my brain was already programmed to it, and the words were unable to leav

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   You Never Told Me That

    Barbara’s povSomething was wrong.I felt it the second Lily and I walked into the dorm room together.It was not something that was obvious and also wasn’t nothing dramatic.The lights were still warm and dim like always. Our desks were cluttered with books and loose papers, Lily’s hoodie was hanging halfway off her chair, and the faint scent of strawberry lotion lingered in the air from whenever she used it.Everything looked normal but somehow, it didn’t feel normal.And lately, I was starting to trust that feeling more than logic.Lily kicked off her shoes near the door with a tired sigh while I stood awkwardly beside my bed, trying not to think about the phone hidden inside my bag.Goodness, just knowing it was there made me anxious.I still hadn’t decided if I was actually going to use it.Half of me wanted to throw it into the lake behind the school and pretend Tristan never gave it to me.The other half…The other half kept remembering the grey envelope.The way Lily knew ab

  • Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes   Old Faces, New Doubts

    Barbara’s povBy the time I got back to the main building, my head was a complete mess.The phone Tristan gave me felt heavier than it should have inside my hoodie pocket, so I quickly hid it in my bad.It was ridiculous because, honestly, It was just a phone.It was small and was of the colour black and I also made sure I put it on Silent before I left. And yet every step I took toward the dorms made me more aware of it, like carrying it alone already made me guilty.The campus hallway buzzed with evening noise around me. Students moved past in groups, laughing, arguing over assignments, rushing toward dinner before curfew.Normally, I liked this time of day.The noise made the school feel less suffocating. It was less lonely but lately, everything felt different.Every conversation sounded suspicious, every glance felt loaded and every little thing made me wonder if I was missing something important.I hated it and I hated that Tristan’s paranoia was starting to infect me too.I
