All Chapters of The Royal Alphas Want Me Gone: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Elise’s POVSnow had begun to fall over the capital.Outside, people crowded the streets, hurling rotten fruit at the carriage rolling down the road.“A disgrace!”“Send her to the wolves!”“Good riddance! The curse of this kingdom is finally leaving!”Those were only a few of the countless insults I heard through the carriage walls, along with the wet splatter of fruit striking the wood.That was what I was.A curse.A disgrace.I didn't even know what I had done to deserve it other than being born as the daughter of the kingdom's most hated queen.All I knew was that because my late mother had supposedly had an affair with the Devil, my birthright had always been questioned, and the kingdom had long since judged me guilty for a sin I never committed.So, when word spread that I was being sent to the Royal Academy—a neutral land where royal heirs and the successors of noble houses from every race and kingdom gathered to study—the people came to give me the grand send-off they believe

Elise’s POVIt took me three hours to step out of the Hall of Admission with a silver academy crest, a room key, and enough documents to prove my enrollment.“Keep the crest with you at all times,” the last attendant behind the desk instructed. “It grants access to the academy buildings and identifies you as an official student.”I pinned it to my cloak.“Your class schedule and other necessities will be delivered to your room.

Elise’s POVI waited for Evander—or any of the others—to laugh, to show even the slightest sign that they were joking.Unfortunately, they didn’t.If anything, none of them seemed inclined to deny it.I slowly looked at the other three.Kael was still sprawled across the couch, Lucien had returned to observing me from the shadows, and Zarek appeared entirely unconcerned by what Evander had just confessed.I had assumed the heir of House Van Pelt had gone mad because of the academy’s living conditions. But hearing the friendly Crown Prince of the Fae declare what they had done with the same bright smile on his face made my stomach knot.I took a step back and glanced at the door behind me.At this point, perhaps sleeping beneath a tree wouldn’t be so terrible.The academy grounds were enormous. Surely, I could find one far enough from Old Lunar Hall that no one would discover my frozen corpse until spring.“Don’t even think about it,” Kael, the First Prince of the Northern Wolves, said
