Semua Bab Torn Between The Alpha Princes: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Kai's POVWe couldn’t do anything more to Alpha Evan, even if I wanted to. As much as he had betrayed us, betrayed Alyssa, there was someone a lot more powerful leading this game of chess. For once, I didn’t argue with Alexander, didn’t bring up the fact that it was his mother who was making Alyssa suffer, because even if he was in love with Alyssa like I was, she was still his mother, and I didn’t want to test his loyalty at a time like this.“I just don’t understand what my mother would achieve by backing Vivian with something like this,” Alexander murmured to himself more than me.I didn’t reply to him; I had bigger things to worry about than trying to figure out the viperous mind of my stepmother.“If your mother is behind this, then we need to get Alyss out of that cell. Who knows what’s happening to her down there?” I stated gruffly, trying not to let my emotions take over again, even though a swell of rage was beginning to build once again in my stomach.We picked up our pace t

Alyssa's POVI remembered Kai’s voice, I remembered the feeling when I heard it and when I realised that he’d come for me. I had never felt anything like it, like my whole world could depend on a singular person, that I could trust someone other than the few, careful friendships I’d constructed over the years. I hadn’t known Kai for as long as I’d known Nolan, but this feeling was different to how I felt about Nolan. Nolan was a friend, I appreciated him, but I wasn’t looking in the crowd for him, I wasn’t waiting to hear his voice or wondering when the next time I’d see him would be. For Kai, I did.Maybe the pain from my imprisonment was finally getting to me mentally. I had no idea what Kai was doing with the guard that had been tormenting me as I lay on the floor of the cell with no strength to pull myself into a seated position. Slowly, I closed my eyes for a moment and took deep breaths, trying to dispel the pain. I think the adrenaline from the fight for survival had stopped m

Kai’s POVI was talking to Alyssa, trying to comfort her because of what she’d been through and what she just witnessed as I beat that guard within an inch of his life. I was close to her, so close, but I could barely feel any warmth coming from her body, knowing it was because of the freezing dungeon. I shrugged my jacket off, ready to wrap it around her for the littlest bit of warmth it could provide.Even now, when she was broken and a mess, she was still the most beautiful person that I’d seen. I wanted nothing more than to hold her close and never let her go, especially when she asked me that question.“Why?”“Do you really not know?” That was how I replied. How could she still not know? I thought I’d made it clear about how I felt. Had she ignored it or thought I was trying to play her? I didn’t blame her considering my reputation. So I pulled her in closer and I told her exactly how I felt.As I was talking, I felt her move, her hands going to my chest and balled up my shirt i

Alexander's POVHow I wished I could’ve held her. Not in a romantic way, not anymore. I didn’t deserve that right, and I’d come to terms with the fact that she was falling in love with my brother.No. I just wanted to give her some comfort, to tell her that she would be okay and that nothing bad would happen to her.But that would’ve been a lie. If I wanted that for her, if I really thought that was something real, I couldn’t be a part of it. I had to stay away and look at her with cold and dead eyes as if she’d meant nothing to me and never would. As if all those months together, carefully crafting and rebuilding whatever fragile relationship we’d had, were for nothing.Kai said something as the two of them passed by me, but I couldn’t hear anything or feel anything. My body was in a numb void, and I didn’t see myself getting out of it any time soon.They were gone.And I was alone.Aside from the guards around me, but they didn’t count. Not really. They didn’t know me like Alyssa d

Alyssa's POVKai had asked me to stay still and safe in his room whilst he went to deal with something, and the servants fetched my things from where I’d been staying as a palace maid. But after five minutes, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay there until Kai returned. There was too much on my mind to be patient and obedient.My thoughts went back to Alexander. It was like a switch had been turned off on his heart, and everything around him was useless and meaningless. Even when he rejected me, he hadn’t looked at me so coldly.There was something. I knew that to be a fact, I didn’t know what could’ve happened to make him change so much.Had someone threatened him? Had he made a deal? I was sure I was going to spend the rest of my life rotting in the dungeon or being killed, since they couldn’t trust me to return to the Red Maple Camp, but banishment? That certainly hadn’t been an option that occurred to me.Did Alexander really do something? Was that why he had to be so cold and uncar
