Kai's POV

She was small. That was one of the things I noticed about Alyssa as we rode Carter to the royal palace. I didn’t mean small for her height, which was quite average, but small enough that it was clear she was practically starved at the Red Maple Camp.

I avoided holding onto her for too long, opting to hold onto Carter’s fur. I wasn’t one for touch or affection, so the times I had touched her were either necessary or to piss Alex off. I preferred the latter, entitled prick. But I’d touched her enough to feel her bones poking through her skin and it made me wonder just how much she would’ve suffered in that camp.

I knew of people being cruel and manipulative, I’d lived in the Royal Palace all my life, surrounded by vipers, so I believed Alyssa when rumours spread that she hadn’t hurt her stepmother. The girl couldn't have hurt someone even if she tried. It didn't seem her time at the Red Maple Camp had toughened her up either.

Those rumours were quickly shut down by Alpha Henry

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 105

    Alpha Henry's POVI forgot how long I’d been reading for. I read the diary once, then read it again. I had to read it about five times, scanning every page for clues or hidden meanings that I might have missed. More than anything, I was trying to convince myself that there was no reason to doubt Vivian, no reason that I should’ve opened the diary up in the first place. But everything came crashing down in those few hours I was reading. The first time, I thought maybe it couldn’t be true, maybe there was a mistake. But the more I kept reading, the more I could see that Vivian wasn’t the woman I thought she was. Firstly, to keep her daughter from her father, that was crueller than I could’ve imagined my wife to be. Then to have an affair? I re-read that entry a few times, and doubt began to gnaw at the back of my mind. All those times Vivian had said she was tired before disappearing for hours, all those times during celebrations where she’d be next to me one second, then gone the ne

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 104

    Alpha Henry's POVMy daughter left my study, and I was still in shock. I sat back down and glanced at the deceased Alpha’s diary left on my desk. When did she become so adamant? So strong? When did she start to remind me of her mother?I let out a soft sigh as I began to think of my previous wife. She, too, had a strong head on her shoulders and was always determined to see things through to the end, no matter what. If she were still alive when I unfortunately had to send my daughter to the Red Maple Camp, she would’ve stopped at nothing to prevent it.Would she be ashamed of me?Only when I’d heard the news of Alyssa’s banishment did it make me think of how I’d treated her over the past few years, and I couldn’t stop the coil of guilt squirming in my gut. I hadn’t listened to my teenage daughter when she swore she didn’t hurt Vivian, and I didn’t visit her either. I remembered seeing the scars on her body for the first time, and anger gripped me harshly. I couldn’t let her get hurt a

    Alyssa’s POVArguing was getting us nowhere. I’d known that from the moment father asked me to come into his study. But I wasn’t here to argue. I was here to save his life, whether he believed me or not.“I’m sure word of my sentence has gotten to you,” I said, trying to change the subject. I didn’t want him to think I was accusing Vivian of plotting against him just out of spite. “I have the rest of today to pack my belongings before I have to leave.”I wasn’t too sure what to expect from my father, hugs and kisses or more yelling and screaming? It was hard to tell. Part of me thought he would force me out with nothing but the clothes on my back. But even I had to admit that was a worst-case scenario from my father. “But before I left, I wanted to show you something.” Finally, as I took a deep breath, I took my hand off of Alpha Aaron’s diary, showing it to my father.He probably found it underwhelming, considering the buildup to it and the intensity we’d only just managed to quell.

    Alyssa's POVMy father sat at his desk, his head held up by his hands underneath his chin. He was looking at me, scanning me as he tried to sift through his mind for what he really wanted to say. But I didn’t baulk as he surveyed me. I kept my head high, waiting for what I knew was coming.“You always seem to be causing trouble for me, my dear daughter.” He started, expecting me to lower my head in shame or utter my apologies.I didn’t.“I don’t cause anything.” That was all I said. Because it was true. I couldn’t think of a single time when something I did or was accused of was because of someone else, and I was tired of accepting blame.“Oh, really? So you didn’t practically cause a riot at the king’s birthday? You got arrested, Alyssa, both princes and two Alphas were prepared to protect you, and even then, you were still found guilty!” He raised his voice, but I didn’t so much as flinch away from him.“I did what I had to do, father. If I hadn’t escaped the Red Maple Camp, someone

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 101

    Alyssa’s POVI followed my father in silence towards his study. I could feel the weight of his judgment bearing down on me, and it took everything within me not to tremble. Was he going to send me away himself? Tell me I was no longer his daughter? He’d sent me to the Red Maple Camp after all.I felt a wave of nostalgia flood through me as I followed that familiar path. These were the corridors in which I would play as a child or run away from punishment if I’d done something wrong. This was the way to the kitchen where my mother would help the cooks and make me my favourite foods. I had so many good memories in these halls, and now my final ones would be in anticipation of a scolding from my father before the crown banished me.Though it had been five years since I lived comfortably here, even though I wanted my freedom after I proved my innocence, this was still my home, and it wasn’t my choice to leave. I felt like I’d never had a choice in anything after father married Vivian.Jus

  • Torn Between The Alpha Princes   Chapter 100

    Alyssa's POVWhen I first arrived at the palace, I was terrified. It was just after the incident with Taylor that I felt like it was a lifetime ago. I was immediately thrust into a trial and then a fight in The Colosseum, and it felt like everything was going wrong. But now that I was leaving in this state, I longed for the first time I’d come to the palace.I felt even more terrified than when I first arrived. At least then I had a home I could return to, even if it was filled with vipers ready to strike at me. Now I had nothing. It felt like I was leaving with less than I had come with, and I’d arrived there not long after my time in the Red Maple Camp.With a few belongings and Kai at my side, we headed towards the Ice Heart Pack.That was going to be the hardest part of all of it. Maybe I didn’t have the strongest, healthiest relationship with my father, but he was all I had left. Caleb had only just started to see me as family rather than a monster to be hated. I was sure Vivian
