All Chapters of Claimed By The Three Alpha Princes: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Barbara’s povThe training grounds were colder than usual or maybe it was just me and I was the only one feeling like that.The evening wind moved through the trees surrounding the practice field, carrying the scent of damp earth and rain that hadn’t fallen yet. Some students had mostly cleared out already and that means leaving the grounds quiet except for the occasional sound of distant laughter from the dorm buildings.I tightened the wraps around my wrists while Tristan stood across from me, rolling his shoulders loosely.He was wearing black again. I’ve figured that might be his favorite colour because he wears it almost every time we train, or maybe I’m just the one jumping into conclusions about what he likes or not.I shouldn’t care about what he likes or not, it’s literally none of my business since we aren’t more than friends. When I saw him, of course he was wearing a dark hoodie, dark joggers and also he had a dark expression plastered on his face.That was the typical T

Barbara’s povBy the time I got back to the main building, my head was a complete mess.The phone Tristan gave me felt heavier than it should have inside my hoodie pocket, so I quickly hid it in my bad.It was ridiculous because, honestly, It was just a phone.It was small and was of the colour black and I also made sure I put it on Silent before I left. And yet every step I took toward the dorms made me more aware of it, like carrying it alone already made me guilty.The campus hallway buzzed with evening noise around me. Students moved past in groups, laughing, arguing over assignments, rushing toward dinner before curfew.Normally, I liked this time of day.The noise made the school feel less suffocating. It was less lonely but lately, everything felt different.Every conversation sounded suspicious, every glance felt loaded and every little thing made me wonder if I was missing something important.I hated it and I hated that Tristan’s paranoia was starting to infect me too.I

Barbara’s povI had barely had any sleep, actually I didn’t even have any sleep at all.That was a lie.I did sleep. I was just pulling y’all legs. Having training and lectures mixed every damn day is already stressful enough, surely it’s only a good sleep that can help with the stress.Being with Lily made me a bit tense but also made me feel comfortable because I wasn’t completely alone.At least, I still had someone to stay with me while I rested my head. Oddly, I didn’t feel the need to be on my toes every time she was in the room. Maybe that was the other part of my heart that desperately wanted all these to end and we could go back to how we were without having suspicions every damn day. What I would say though, was that it just wasn’t peaceful.Every time I closed my eyes, my brain replayed the same conversation over and over again. I just couldn’t help but replay the words I heard earlier. It was as if my brain was already programmed to it, and the words were unable to leav

Barbara’s PovSomething about that morning already felt off for some wierd reason.Maybe it was because I woke up late and almost wore two completely different shoes to class.Maybe it was because Lily had left the room before sunrise again without saying where she was going.Or maybe it was because I still couldn’t stop thinking about the weird phone conversation from two nights ago.Whatever it was, the feeling sat heavily in my chest the entire morning and unfortunately, it only got worse.“Are you listening to me?”Jeremiah snapped his fingers dramatically in front of my face as we walked down the stone pathway leading toward the academic building.I blinked. “Huh? What were you saying?”He gasped loudly. “You weren’t listening.”“You talk too much.” I pointed out.“That’s not the point.” He rolled his eyes.“It’s always the point.”Jeremiah clutched his chest like I’d mortally wounded him while I laughed softly under my breath.Honestly, being around him has become easy and comfo

Barbara's povBy the time my last class ended, my head already hurt.It was not the normal kind of headache either.It was the exhausting kind.The kind that came from overthinking too much, pretending too much, feeling too much.Everything lately felt messy, Lily was acting strange alongside the appearance of the letters.Jeremiah suddenly becoming distant because of whatever weird thing was going on between him and Lily.I literally have no idea what’s going on between them. We’re all confused whether it’s a situationship or whether they’re actually dating each other.No one knows about it and they’re both unwilling to share what’s the reason why they get so mad at each other, then get back to being close after few days later.It is like a cycle that keeps repeating every damn time, I’ve also figured out it is none of my business to ask her about her relationship with him. I would be pissed if she asked about my relationship with Tristan too because we have no idea. It is exhaustin
