All Chapters of Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Barbara’s POVBy the time we got back to the dorm, I could finally breathe, it was the one that settles deep in your chest and makes everything feel just a little lighter.Lily pushed the door open first, stepping inside like she owned the space which, to be fair, she kind of did. She always carried herself like that and sometimes, I sort of envy her for that. She has proven that she is a great friend, a true ride or die.“Finally, we are here.” she muttered, kicking the door shut behind her.I dropped my bag onto my bed with a soft sigh, rolling my shoulders slightly. “Today felt longer than it actually was, I’m freaking tired!”“That’s because it was unnecessarily eventful,” Lily replied.“I know right.”“Sit, Barbara,” she said, pointing at my bed. “You look like you’re about to collapse.”“I’m fine, mother.” I said teasingly but I sat anyway.“You are,” she insisted, grabbing her own food and tossing mine lightly onto the bed beside me. “You should eat some food before we head ba

Barbara’s POVI couldn’t even remember how to walk properly. It felt like I’m just starting to walk again after being in a coma.One moment I was still in the cafeteria, the sting on my cheek burning, my scalp aching, my thoughts scattered and loud and the next, I was outside, moving.This time, I wasn’t alone. Jeremiah was on my right side and Geoffrey was on my left side.They were close enough that I could feel their presence without them actually touching me, like they were trying to be careful and didn’t want to make it worse.“Watch your step,” Geoffrey said quietly.No one spoke for a while after that and I didn't bother to start up a conversation with them either because didn’t trust my voice not to break.The closer we got to the dorm, the heavier my chest felt. It was from the realization that this wasn’t just an incident, it was something that would linger.I tightened my grip on my bag slightly. “We are almost there.” Jeremiah said.When we reached the dorm hallway, the fa

Tristan’s povSomething was off the moment i saw Barbara walking up to us. She glanced at me for a second before facing Geoffrey and Jeremiah to exchange greetings with them. She completely ignored me like I didn’t exist and I wasn’t even at her front.Oddly, Lily watched without saying a word which was unlikely of her. If it was in the past, she would have stormed and basically ran her little mouth like she always does and dragged Barbara away. And the fact that Barbara came up to willingly actually says a lot. Geoffrey and Jeremiah couldn’t even hide their excitement when she left and couldn’t stop talking about it which infuriated me more. They didn’t even bother to include me or even tell me what was going on, and all that I could remember was us deciding and agreeing to get Barbara to talk and confess the truth. I was confused about almost everything all the time we spent in the class and the way she didn’t look at me not once was surprising like I wasn’t even part of the conv

Tristan’s povFor a second, no one moved in the locker room. Not me, not Barbara but Lily on the other hand, actually moved. It was obvious that she was mad at not only me, but also her best friend, Barbara.“What the hell is going on?” Lily repeated, her voice stern and her facial expression changed from confusion to anger and rage.Barbara stepped back again, putting more distance between us like that might undo what just happened. Her fingers were still pressed lightly against her lips, her breathing uneven. “I…this isn’t what you think…” she tried saying but Lily was having none of it.“Don’t try to lie to me,” Lily cut in immediately.Barbara froze which was new. I’ve never seen both of them angry at each other, especially with Lily. She had always acted like she was her older sister or something.Lily didn’t even look at Barbara, instead her gaze was locked on me and there was something in it I didn’t like.“What are you two doing here?” She demanded.I raised a brow slightly,

Barbara’s povBy the time I got back to the dorm, my chest was hurting badly. It wasn’t the sharp and familiar pain I knew how to deal with, this one was different and felt like I was dying.“Lily, can you wait? We need to talk.” I didn’t even finish my sentence before the door was slammed shut in my face. She was walking ahead of me fast and I could tell her movements were showing that she didn’t want to be spoken to.“Lily, please, can you stop acting like this?”She didn’t respond and didn’t even look at me, she just moved straight to her side of the room, grabbing something off her desk and pretending to focus on it like I wasn’t there which I knew she was purposely doing because of how her gaze wasn’t exactly on the paper.“Can you at least listen to me?” I asked once more. Still, nothing. She didn’t even glance at me and kept her gaze at the book.I stepped closer. “Lily. Can we talk? Please?”“Can you stop talking to me?”“I didn’t know he was going to do that,” I said quick
