CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 114: Guilt or Love?
Layla’s POVOnce again, Ethan had proven that he was incapable of reasoning with me and it put me in a sour mood all over again. I was aware that he was convinced that I was his mate, but as long as I couldn't confirm his claims, he was merely stringing me along for his own benefit and without any regard whatsoever for my feelings.While I still couldn't explain why there was a part of me that couldn't resist his sexual advances, I was still not willing to be his when I knew how much it’d hurt Arnold. He’d lost so much of late, and losing me to Ethan would make him completely lose his mind, and I couldn't live with myself if I was the cause.One fact remained, I was just as confused about everything as I was the day Ethan had called me his mate and I'm even more upset now because my 18th birthday is drawing nearer and I might end up being forced into a marriage with him despite belonging to another man.There was just one person’s insight that’d be much more grounding than my chaotic

Hera’s POVLayla, Layla, Layla.Everything in this fucking palace revolved around her daft brain, a hypocritical witch who had no idea how much power she’d wield by being a Luna to the most powerful Alpha in Wandercoast. She was even ignorant of how much power she was already privy to as the last living witch from the primordial pack, and yet everything I worked my ass off for to sit on the throne one day was being handed to her on a damned platter.From the moment I noticed that preparations were in full swing for her marriage to Ethan, my hatred for her grew even more despite thinking that it was impossible to hate her any more than I already did.Everything seemed to be crumbling around me and it was driving me wild with anger, each day I saw the decorations being put up I felt a bile rising in my throat and waves of anger that caused me to spiral at the thought of losing to a complete idiot.Worst of all, my plan to weave my way into Ethan’s heart was moving at an annoyingly slow

Layla’s POVOne foot in front of the other, I counted my steps out of boredom as I walked through the garden. I’d decided to go for a walk to clear my head and lose the weight of everything that’d been bothering me even though it’d be short-lived.However, less than twenty minutes into my walk I realized that it might be cut short the minute I saw four maids in a corner pointing at me and talking in hushed tones. As I walked closer, I expected that they’d have the dignity of pretending that they weren't talking about me, but they only took it as a cue to increase their voices, purposely intending for me to hear.“How could anyone have expected loyalty from a common harlot?” A maid pointed at me by stretching her lips disrespectfully in my direction.“Beats me.” Another maid responded while laughing till she almost choked on her spit.To say I was shocked would be a lie, this had happened to me countless times.“I mean, with how she wormed her way into Alpha Arnold’s heart because he w

Arnold’s POVMy journey to the Valley of Death had been the most tasking one I’d ever embarked on and I had the scars to prove it. My wolf’s abilities were null and void as I approached the Valley, and the bushes that I had to ride through were full of thorns that’d gotten stuck in my skin or left a few cuts that didn't heal.Six days.All of which I battled to stay sane through because I knew that if I chickened out I’d never get back everything I’d lost. Six days later and I was now finally in the Valley of the Death.Even before I entered its depth, I noticed that a dark cloud that was ridiculed with lightning bolts hung over it to differentiate it from the rest of the forest, the entrance was full of signs that warned whoever dared to step through of curses and beasts that lay awake if you went further, the trees within it had red barks, and the first thing I’d stepped on were a trail of scorpions that masqueraded as dark soil.In fifteen minutes of arriving, I’d contemplated turn

Layla’s POVEveryday I walked out of my chambers, I was met with the hustle and bustle of wedding preparations and each time I looked at them I was overwhelmed with the decision that was drawing nearer by the second, a decision I didn't have a definite answer to.“Look alive darling, the stylist will be here any minute” Nadia said as she waltzed into my room.From those dry lips of hers that had been glossed the last time I saw her, I could tell that she’d been making out with Castle at some point; hence the giddy nature of hers.“I can't believe he’s going ahead with everything despite knowing how conflicted I’ve been” I rolled my eyes and leaned back on the bed.“I have a feelings things will work out just fine, okay?” Nadia mushed my cheeks by holding both of them in her palms as she spoke.“You don’t know th—” I was cut off by a knock on the door and I locked eyes with Nadia as we wondered who it could be.“Ah, the stylist! That must be her, I'll let her in” She walked to the door

Ethan’s POVMy mind had been occupied with several thoughts, but none stuck as much as my thoughts of Layla, she’d unknowingly crept into my heart and built a home for herself in it. I’d never felt this drawn to anyone in my entire life and at first I’d been in denial, but I didn't think I could have from it anymore.Indeed I was irrevocably in love with Layla and I’d finally come to terms with it, what I felt for her was so overwhelming that it swallowed me whole from within. On that note, I knew that there was nothing I wouldn't do to make her mine forever, and I’d go to any lengths to make sure that my love was also reciprocated.Thinking of what being loved by her would feel like made me giddy like a child being handed candy, it would be surreal to be with her without being resisted because of another man, without worrying that she’d ask me to let her be, without worrying that I’d end up making her unhappy in the long run.My heart beat nervously as I imagined hearing her confess

Layla’s POVThe long awaited day had arrived, my 18th birthday.However, for some reason, I didn't feel like there was anything worth celebrating, I still had a life defining decision to make and I was still torn despite knowing that I was in love with Ethan and he felt the same way about me.Night had fallen and I was resting on the windowsill while I watched the moon make it's way from underneath the clouds. Somehow, the sheer beauty of the full moon wasn't enough to wash my worries away or the tension that had clouded my entire being since morning.As newly dating sweethearts, Nadia and Castle had tried to boost my serotonin levels by thoughtfully gifting me a lovely birthday cake and singing as they presented it to me, but as much as I appreciated the gesture, it didn't do much to relieve the tension I felt raging through my body with a vengeance.In my head, I was more focused on Arnold and Ethan’s absence on a day that they’d both looked forward to. Arnold had been missing from

Layla’s POVEthan immediately broke into a huge grin, one I’d never seen before to show just how happy he was that he’d turned out to be my fated mate after all. I’d never seen him that happy since we met and it was so intense that I could feel his excitement through the mate bond as well, it felt like nothing short of pure undiluted joy.Even his hand clutched his chest in relief as he stared at me with eyes full of love and longing, and I was certain that my eyes equally mirrored those emotions of his as he ran toward me with leaps of joy and gathered me in his arms and lifted me off the floor.Before I could even express my happiness in words, he’d placed me down and covered my lips in a passionate kiss, like he was emptying fragments of his soul into mine as he moved against my lips and this time I didn't hold back, I kissed him back with the burning desire within me that had been awakened the second I confirmed that he was my mate.Without breaking the kiss, he carried me into hi

CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 142: And They Got Married.
Layla’s POV“If you stare at that dress any longer, you’ll burn it to the ground with your gaze” Nadia nagged me as I took one last glance at my wedding dress while I stood at the bathroom door, I was obsessed with it.Beyond obsessed, It’s beauty had become an extra body part of mine.“At least we’d die watching its beautiful flames ascend to the heavens,” I smiled dreamily while still staring at it with lost eyes.“Be fucking for real?” She laughed before she grabbed a button off the dresser and threw it me, luckily I was able to dodge it and if I hadn't it’d have hit my eyes.“You’d explain to Ethan in detail why his bride is walking down the aisle with just one eye” I picked the button up and threw it at her, and it landed on her feet.“If you're not ready in the next hour, there’ll be no bride to scrutinize while she walks down the aisle, I promise you” She shot me a glare just before she took a seat on my bed, pulling her own dress in her lap to admire it.“What? An hour? Why hav

He moved away from me I’d just pushed a dagger through his heart again, there was disbelief, confusion, and pain in his eyes but he only had those emotions because he didn't understand why I’d declined his proposal.After almost spending my life with the wrong man because of guilt, I couldn't say Yes to Ethan while guilt kept eating me up for the great of our lives. I’d be as much of a monster as Arnold was if I take advantage of his feelings for me and jump into marriage when guilt had been plaguing me like it was my second shadow since the day I watched him fall to his death.He stared at me again, long and hard before he walked toward the bed and covered himself in the duvet, an air of uncertainty hovering over him as he delved into thoughts of his own. However, it was as he covered up tag I realized that I was still naked and I slowly walked toward the floor where he’d dropped my dress and picked up. I quietly pulled it over my head and held my arms around my body tightly as thou
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 140: The best reunion

CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 139: An Unhealthy Obsession
Layla’s POVNo, no fucking way.It was him all along? Arnold killed my foster parents? He’d watched me mourn them knowing that he’d orchestrated everything because they rejected his advances toward me?“They were all I had, and you knew that! How dare you speak of their deaths so lightly, you monster!” I screamed my lungs out in anger not caring what he’d do to me.Much to my surprise, a smile covered his face showing that he was pleased that I was in so much pain because of what he’d done, my heart was being torn into countless shreds as I recalled that there was a time when I loved him and I considered marrying him not knowing what a sick and twisted bastard he was deep down.“You watched me grieve them, you watched me turn into a shell of myself, you watched me be bitter that I’d lost the last links to learning of my heritage,” My chest heaved like bomb was ticking within it as I spoke.“You watched me almost lose myself and you promised me that you’d find the beast that killed the

Arnold’s POVThe day had come.The night hour had just struck, and I was about to recover all I’d lost and much more.“Are you ready?” I asked Hera who’d been seated in front of her crystal spell casting bowl and brr spell book for the past hour.“Never been more ready” She smiled at me so brightly it could’ve illuminated the underground hideout if we switched off all the other lights, her motivation was endearing to say the least.“Go ahead and cast the spell then” I flashed her a smile as well but mine was subtle and filled with anticipation.She nodded eagerly before she crossed her legs before her and held her hands out over the bowl, from where I was I could see that a visual of crescent valley had appeared in the water that filled the bowl like a reflection and I watched her mouth move as she muttered words in an unknown ancient language.I wasn't very close to her and yet I could feel the enormous amount of power radiating from her as she rolled her head from side to side and t
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 137: You’re a Beast
Arnold’s POVHera looked like she was about to offload the heaviest weight that had ever been on her shoulders and I just stared at her wishing that I could look through her and draw it out of her myself, still Hera was the only person of worth I had on my side so I decided to be patient with her as opposed to the thought in my mind where I was half considering yelling at her and shaking it out of her forcefully.“How long before you actually use your words?” I finally asked impatiently after about six minutes of deafening and irritating silence had passed by.She looked as though my words had just jolted her out of her train of thoughts and she replaced the lost look on her face with her usual demeanor that oozed confidence, raw and undiluted confidence.“You’re a beast, Arnold” She said while her eyed bored into mine searching for a befitting reaction to her revelation.Unknown to her, her words would've hurt and surprised me a few months ago, but as I heard them it only felt like a

Hera’s POVWeeks had gone by and each day I felt crazier than the last being holed up in a disgusting dungeon that wasn't fit for royalty such as myself.Layla had replaced all the guards that were loyal to me during her reign with guards from Ethan’s rogue army and they all hated me so my seductive tricks didn't work on them. I was hoping that I’d be able to seduce one of them into setting me free but they looked at me with disdain each time they came to fling plates of food at me every morning and evening so I eventually gave up on that plan.Life seemed hopeless and it felt like the moon goddess had finally abandoned me and shut her ears to my prayers, nothing was working out and it seemed like I’d suffered so much to reach the peak of my dreams just to have it shattered by a teenage whore.Still, I tried to pull through.It was night now and I was trying to fall asleep by replaying my happiest memories in my mind, the beautiful and wholesome moments that I’d spent as Queen before
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 135: Might Never Find Love
Layla’s POVThe entire palace was still buzzing with life in the early hours of the morning as preparations from my impromptu coronation were in full swing. I could hear the clustering and swooshing all around as I woke up in the master bedroom that I’d taken over seeing as I was about to be made the official queen of Crescent Valley.As I stretched out my arms, I heard a soft rap on the door.“Who’s there?” I called out in a sleepy voice.“It's me, Nadia” Her soothing voice responded from behind the door.“Come on in” I yawned in between the words and drew my silk pink robe tightly around my waist as she opened the doors.“Hello your highness! How does it feel to be mere hours away from a coronation at eighteen?” Nadia swayed from side to side with some dresses held tightly to her chest and I guessed that there were the selections for the event.“Uh, nervous?” I told her truthfully as I made my way toward the bathroom to freshen up.“You’ll do amazing while making waves in the ancien
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 134: The Reunion
Layla’s POVHera’s eyes were blazing with a deadly anger, a type of anger that the old me would've been terrified of if she saw how it radiated off of her, but it was a good thing that I’d buried the timid me in the wilderness before I returned for the throne.“You can either leave peacefully or meet a disgraceful end that whores like you should be accorded” Hera’s eyes held a venomous look that didn't scare me one bit as she threw her empty and ridiculous threats at me.“That crown, that throne, this kingdom…” I punched toward her as I spoke and I could see a hint of surprise flash through her eyes on seeing how much nerves I’d gathered.“All of it belongs to me and I’d love to watch you come at me so we’d see whose blood would end up tainting these floors” My orbs changed from golden brown to the piercing red shade I took when I transformed into a witch.“How dare you!? You! A worthless rat that should’ve been left in the gutters where you belonged! How fucking dare you address me t
