Alia’s Pov

I wasn’t alone. The words echoed in my mind as I tried to turn to face my fears.

Some parts of me knew what I would find wouldn't be good, but at this point I didn't care. I still had to look.

The corridor behind was dark; the only light that was visible was from the moon.

A figure stood in the shadows. Tall. Broad.

Motionless. Their silhouette was outlined by the dim light of the palace corridor. I could see enough to recognize him. Aiden His eyes were locked on me, cold and calculating His name struck something deep inside me. Not warmth, not longing. No. It was dread. His red, fiery hair shone brightly in the dark.

He looked at me in a way that made me want to throw up. Like I was something he was testing in a lab. Something is broken. And that smug smile. That cruel little smirk. It sliced deeper than anything else could. “Why are you here?” I managed, my voice steadier than I felt, though the tremor underneath betrayed me. He didn’t answer right away. Just wa

    Alia's POVI wake up early, earlier than usual. My body aches from yesterday’s prank. The bruises from their pranks are still fresh in my memory, still there in the form of throbbing pain in my back, my arms, my legsbut it doesn’t get any easier.Every bruise is a reminder of their cruelty; I can feel it deep down in my bones. I don't want to move or get out of bed. but I force myself to.I held the edge of the bed firmly, the fabric digging into my hands. I sit up slowly, the movement sending a sharp pain through my back. My breath catches; I bit back the tears that were threatening to fall. I didn't feel this pain yesterday evening when i had dressed up looking pretty.You won’t see me break.I remember the vow i made to myself last night, and I cling to it like a lifeline.I remember how, after the silence of the dark room pressed down on me, I whispered those words into the emptiness. They were for me only for me. A promise that no matter how much they tried to break me, I would

  • My Alpha's Brothers Claim On Me    Chapter Eight

    Alia’s POV My breath got caught in my throat; I could hardly breathe. My legs felt stuck to the ground, and they refused to move; my eyes were glued to jasmine, completely bare, her skin glowing under the dim lighting. Her naked body straddled Bryan like she belonged there, like this was her throne. Her back arched slightly, and she let out a sound I’ll never unhear. And Bryan… His lips were as glued to hers as if his life depended on it. I saw Bryan grunting and then finally collapsing. He kissed Jasmine's forehead as if he had just finished a race. As if she was the only thing that mattered to him. It was intimate. Intimate in the worst, most jarring way for me. I felt something inside me break. Not because I cared for Bryan, God, no, but because this moment, this secret, felt like something sacred I had intruded on. Something I wasn’t supposed to witness. I couldn’t even begin to describe what I felt: shocked, disgusted, confused, maybe even jealous in the most twisted, i

    Alia’s POV A loud bang from downstairs made me jump, yanking me out of sleep. I shot up, my heart pounding against my chest rapidly; it felt like it would crack my ribs. I sat there for some minutes trying to figure out where I was. Sunlight shone brightly through the curtains into the strange room around me, giving the room a golden glow, much to my dislike. I felt so disgustedmy voice was rough and edgy. I groaned loudly, dragging the blanket over my head while trying to go back to sleep, but it didn't work. I wanted to pretend this wasn't real, pretend I was somewhere else. Pretend this wasn’t real. Pretend I was somewhere else. But the light didn’t care. It found every crack, every gap. There was no escape. With a miserable sigh, I pushed the blanket down to my chest and cracked one eye open against the glare. The full weight of the room hit me, and my stomach turned. I hadn't paid it much attention last night; exhaustion had blurred the details. Now, a

    Alia’s POVThe tension in the air felt like thick fog as we stepped back into the hall. I didn’t want to look up. I didn’t want to meet their eyes. The judging eyes of the people in the room.The stares of three men who already looked like they’d rather be anywhere else but standing in the same room as me. I didn’t blame them. I didn’t belong here either.But I couldn’t hide forever.Their glares were like daggers, sharp and unrelenting. I could feel the disgust rolling off them like heatwaves, especially Bryan. His aura was the loudest. Like he was seconds away from snapping. His lip curled up as if I smelled.“Alia? “He asked, snorting. His tone cut deep. Cold, sharp, full of hate. Like just talking about me annoyed him. Like I was already a burden he couldn’t wait to get rid of. Like he wanted to make sure I heard every bit of rejection in his tone. As if I wasn’t even worth the breath he used to speak. I stood there frozen, feeling the weight of his judgment press down on my

    Before I walked right into their argument and gained their attention, I had heard them fighting for the throne; the stakes were high, and none of them were willing to give it up.“I am the rightful owner, Bryan,” Aidan snarled, his tone biting. He was the first to strike his impatience clear as the day, his fingers clenched into fists at his sides. “You’re not fit to rule. The kingdom needs a strong leader, not some hothead.”Aidan’s cold gaze turned on Bryan, the tension between them palpable. “I’ll be the one who leads, not you. “You are not as powerful and strong as I am.” His voice roared, his eyes blazing like fire.Callum, who stood afar off just watched the drama Infront of him; he was trying to control his laughter, and one could say he enjoyed every bit of it.He had always played around during serious moments, and one would think he's unworthy, but he's like a lion waiting for the perfect moment to pounce on its prey. “This isn't worth it, neither of you will win if you ke
