Torn Between The Alpha Princesย ย ย Chapter 51
Alyssa's POVAwkward was the only way I could describe the encounter.I was sitting in a big armchair in what looked like an office, silent as I observed everything around me. The colours of the room were brown and green themed, like nature. There was a big window behind the Alpha's desk that allowed the light in in beautiful rainbows. Opposite me, standing behind his desk and looking out of the window as he poured himself a glass of whiskey, was Alpha Evan. He hadnโt spoken a word to me since heโd invited me inside and thatโs what made things both awkward and unnerving.He hadn't looked at me since either. It made me feel like I was doing something wrong. I wondered if I shouldโve said something, it was obvious he hadnโt forgotten I was there, but I wasnโt entirely sure what the game he seemed to be playing was.So I waited patiently, hands folded on my lap, looking at him looking out the window. Maybe it was a test to see how long I could go without talking to him or demanding som

Alexander's POVBeta Nolan, despite his reservations, took us through the pack to meet Vivianโs old friend. Supposedly, she had not been in contact with her since Vivian left the pack, but it was still worth it to talk to her. I could practically hear the thoughts running through the Betaโs head: What would two princes want with a random older woman? He had no clue and Kai and I intended it to stay that way. The more people who knew about our intentions, the more danger weโd be putting Alyssa in.So we feigned ignorance and said that, with the new knowledge about the supposed abuse, if a crime had been committed it was something we needed to learn more about so we could avoid similar situations in the future.Beta Nolan didnโt argue, especially when he saw the annoyed tick in Kaiโs jaw which meant my brother was only a few seconds away from punching something or someone.Goddess, how was I related to such a psychopath?It didnโt take us too long to reach the house with an older lady

Alyssaโs POVโThatโs absurd!โ Alpha Evan roared.Alexander and Kai requested an audience once they had gathered more information. It was just at the time that Alpha Evan was warning me to look out for my father. I was about to ask more when a servant announced that the princes were here. We had originally agreed to meet in an hour, but they must've found something out to have come straight to the Pack House.Alpha Evan allowed them in and looked at me curiously as the princes both stood by my side, asking if I was okay.When I nodded they started telling us what they knew, but when it came to the supposed abuse of Luna Vivian, Alpha Evan couldnโt contain his anger.โHow dare you!โ He stood to his fault height, no longer caring that he was in the presence of the princes of his kingdom, โBring whoever is spreading these scandalous rumours and let them answer to me!โThe princes stood firmly, not intimidated in the slightest by the anger of the Alpha. Kai pulled me behind him and Alexand

Alyssa's POVAlpha Evan left the three of us in his office with the journal. I think partially it was so he could deny things if something went wrong, but mainly I think it was his way of protecting and respecting his dead brother. I couldnโt fault him for that.I sat at Alpha Evanโs desk with the two princes beside me as I peered curiously at the book, stroking the leather and wondering what Alpha Aaron was thinking in his final days.I opened the journal up briefly and saw neat, perfectly cursive handwriting. But unfortunately, I didnโt need the beginning, but the end. So I skipped to the last few pages and could see the illness had left a heavy toll on the Alpha. The once beautiful handwriting was now an almost illegible scribble. Was it because he was so ill he couldnโt write, or something else?โAre you sure you want to read this, Alyssa?โ Alexander asked gently.His concern made my heart flutter and Carys hum, but this was something I needed to do. I knew he was concerned about

Alyssa's POVI had to take a minute to sit down and think as I finished the last few pages of Alpha Aaronโs journal. It was like he knew that something was wrong. He hadnโt trusted Vivian for a while so why did he allow her to take care of him?Was it because he was too weak to protest? His handwriting showed how weak he was. Or had she threatened to keep Freya away from him permanently? I wouldnโt put it past the woman to do that. And if she had done something to Alpha Aaron, did she have something planned for my father?I thought learning more about Alpha Aaron would help me solve my problems, but instead, I only had more questions that needed answers and only two people alive could answer them. Vivian would never say anything to me about him, but Freyaโฆ She wasnโt as skilled in the art of manipulation as her mother.โWhere do we go from here?โ Alexander asked, his head in his hands like he was in just as much shock as me.โI donโt know,โ I replied with honesty as my hope began to d

Kai's POVI didnโt like leaving things like this. There was an assassin still out there targeting Alyssa who for all I was aware of, may have been following us now, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Then there was this whole conspiracy that Vivian was a part of.How could I just leave her like that?But my duty was as the General of the Skeleton Army and if my father wasnโt already informed I hadnโt been seen at my post, he would about to be soon. I knew what the punishment would be, and it wouldnโt just be for me either. It would be for my squad and possibly even Alyssa too if my father found her to blame.Still, even with all of that in mind, it was hard to just walk away as if nothing had happened.We had only a few minutes before I needed to depart and Alyssa had to sneak home. Alex was to escort her, letting her be seen first before he announced himself and his engagement with Freya was back on. That was part of the plan, but it still didnโt feel right to leave.Even Carter w

Alexander;s POVThe last time I was alone with Alyssa Iโd made a right ass of myself. The last time we were alone Iโd confessed to her and she rejected me so being alone with her now I couldnโt help but feel awkward and a sense of longing. I wanted to hold her and beg her to forgive me again, but it wasn't the time. What do you say to a girl you hurt and now are in love with?But I still wasnโt going to give up, not until she gave me a chance.Even if she didnโt I was going to protect her. And not because Kai told me to. I was going to make sure she was safe. We stood just outside of the Ice Heart Packโs territory line and she gave me a small smile.I ran through the plan in my head again.The plan was that Alyssa would stealthily return to her room. Only two people in the Pack House knew that she had left the pack territory, those two people being a trusted maid and her brother. No one else shouldโve expected that she would go anywhere else.She would make herself known and half an h

If I hadnโt known any better I wouldโve thought this display to be genuine and that he'd done this in front of me again just to spite me.I glanced up slightly, having looked away when Freya had launched herself at my mate. My heart stammered as I looked at the passionate kiss and saw Alexander looking right at me.I looked down again.Caleb tightened his grip on my hand. He was still so young that he didnโt understand what a mate bond was or felt like, he barely understood the concept. But even still, my younger brother mustโve sensed that there was a hollow space within my soul and the cause of that hollowness was the man kissing Freya. He squeezed again, letting me know that he was there.I squeezed his hand back and smiled at him.โWe should give them some privacy, shouldnโt we?โ I said, wanting to get Caleb away from whatever manipulation was happening there.Caleb smiled and pulled me towards the do

Torn Between The Alpha Princesย ย ย Chapter 65
Alyssa's POVThough I told Alexander I would let him protect me, I did my best to avoid him after that day. I took on extra duties so I wouldnโt have the free time to bump into him because if anyone caught me alone with him again, I knew life in the palace would only get worse.Even after that one encounter, word spread around the other maids and servants. Lyra and Amelia would trip me in the halls, causing me to break glasses and tea-wear which Moira would punish me for. They would also throw any clean clothes Iโd finished onto the floor so I had to do double the work.Moira no longer hurt me physically, but she definitely didnโt make life easier for me after she got in trouble with Alexander. Even though I volunteered to take on more work, she assigned harder tasks to me that I barely completed. For the tasks that I didn't complete in time, the punishment would be that I was locked out of my sleeping quarters and forced to finish my job and sleep in the area it was in. I never want

Alexander's POVI hadnโt even heard the woman approach before she had Alyssaโs hair in her grip, yanking her to the floor. Everything felt like it had gone in slow motion. One second I was doing my hardest to make Alyssa smile, the next I heard her yelp in pain before she was tossed onto the floor.โWho do you think you are!?โ She screamed, โHow dare you manipulate His Royal Highness!โI couldnโt recall a time that a singular voice had angered me to the core. My mother would upset me, my brother would piss me off and Freya was simply annoying, but this womanโs command, her assault on my mate, buried a deep hole of hatred into my soul.โAnd who the fuck do you think you are?โ I growled, sounding like my brother as I stood to my full height.Caspian didnโt need my permission to leave my body this time as he ripped free, sending a menacing roar at the servant.โY-your Highness-โ She stammered, quickly pulling herself into a bow, but I didnโt give a shit because she still had her hands w

Alyssa's POVโYouโve got to be kidding, you canโt do that!โ I asked, aghast that the prince would even suggest such a thing.For one, if Moira, let alone the Luna Queen, found out that the second prince was on his knees cleaning like a common maid and that I had let him, I would be punished beyond imagination.Secondly, if they found out I hadnโt done this by myself I would probably also be punished for that too. It wasnโt as if I had friends among the rest of the staff. Also if he messed anything up it would be deemed my fault.And thirdly, even if by some miracle Moira believed that I could do something like this by myself, she would probably increase my workload just out of spite.โWhatโs there to joke about?โ Alexander asked, tilting his head in utter confusion.I inwardly sighed, he may have been a prince but he had no idea how the world truly worked. โYour Highness, look at our positions right now. You are a prince, I am a maid. It would be improper for you to help me do my job
Torn Between The Alpha Princesย ย ย Chapter 62
Alyssa's POVI faced a smack to the face from the Luna Queenโs head maid. The blow took me by surprise. Even though I was currently a maid for the Luna Queen, I was still an Alphaโs daughter so I hadnโt expected physical abuse from the others.I held my hand to my cheek, looking at Moira, the head maid, with shock and confusion.Moira was a short, stocky kind of woman with a head full of grey hairs and wrinkles, she had been in service to the Royal Family for a long time, but her allegiance was with the Luna Queen more than anyone else, and by my association with Prince Kai and the โcarnageโ I had caused between Alexander and FFreya, I was an enemy to her.Iโd just been cleaning the Luna Queenโs shoes. Moira looked over the row I had cleaned and picked up one of the shoes before turning her furious hand onto me.โIs this what youโd call clean?โ She hissed, shoving the shoe in my face, โThis isnโt the Red Maple Camp, pup. Youโre a servant of the Royal Household, act like it!โIf the sh

Kai's POVThankfully, by the time I returned to my camp none of my men had noticed me missing and no one else had disappeared under Leonโs watch. It seemed I was correct in thinking that it was a diversion. The assassins hadnโt been able to find Alyssa and I hoped that she would be safe at home.We had to move further south and Mother Nature was on our side as the wet, muddy terrain was blessed by the sun and things became warmer. No more wringing socks out by the fire or having clumps of dirt caught in fur.But, even though conditions were better, Iโd felt more uncomfortable than ever. I had a tarp instead of a cave floor, I had a tent over my head instead of spiders and a warm fire instead of shivering in blankets. But there was something I had then that I didn't have now.Alyssa.Her smile, her laughter, her voice, and her scent were all worth it.But at that moment instead of being with her, I was stuck with burly brutes who hardly knew how to bathe and clean up after themselves.
Torn Between The Alpha Princesย ย ย Chapter 60
Alexander's POV I didnโt know what game my mother was playing but unfortunately, I had no choice but to go along with it if I wanted to ensure that Alyssa stayed safe. Regardless of whether my engagement with Freya was back on, she wouldnโt forgive Alyssa for supposedly coming between us.I was partly to blame for that, I hadn't exactly been subtle with my affection for Alyssa, no matter how much I tried to hide it and squash it into the ground.We sat together in the carriage. I was on one side with Freya holding me, her head on my shoulder as Alyssa sat on the opposite side, her gaze never moving away from the window.Iโd give anything to know what thoughts were running around her head. Iโd give anything to be able to fix the ones that made her frown.But I was part of the problem. All of this couldโve been avoided if I had just accepted her in the first place.โArenโt you so excited for the wedding, Alex?โ Freya asked, craning her face towards me so that her lips were only a few c
Torn Between The Alpha Princesย ย ย Chapter 59
Alyssa's POVDespite the incident with Freya, the next few days passed peacefully, so much so that Vivian even smiled at me a couple of times. Genuine smiles.With Freyaโs engagement to Alexander back on and being planned at the moment, and with Kai being stationed far away in the South for a who knows how long amount of time, Vivian didnโt see me as a threat anymore. She had everything she wanted.A powerful Alpha husband, an heir to inherit that title and her daughter to be a princess and possibly Luna Queen.With Vivianโs change in character, it was clear to me that Freya mustโve not mentioned any part of our conversation to her mother about Alpha Aaron. Either she thought it wasnโt worth the hassle or she was scared that if she told her mother and Vivian retaliated it would confirm whatever she thought I knew.So with the first bit of peace of mind I'd had for a long time, I relaxed.With the wedding preparations taking place, everyone had been neglectful of Caleb who was still on
