CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 122: His beastly side
Arnold’s POVThe moon goddess hadn't forsaken me after-all, I thought as my successful journey finally came to an end as Crescent Valley came into view.From the second I saw the pearly palace gates open, a huge smile crept onto my face and I rode in waving at the guards that manned the gates like we were old time friends. I was beyond elated that I’d finally found a tangible solution to both of my problems and I couldn't wait to execute my plan and watch everything slowly turn back in my favor.After I’d dropped off my horse at the stable, I waltzed into the palace humming a joyful tone and I couldn't wait to surprise Layla, especially since I’d put in the extra effort to arrive before her birthday was over.And as though my prayers were being answered on the spot, the first person I saw as I was headed toward my room was Layla. Something was making her glow from within, maybe it was the fact that her birthday night was blessed with a full moon, but all I wanted to do was to gather h

Layla’s POVI woke up with a huge yawn and my arms stretched out by my sides like a baby, I felt refreshed and satisfied like a person that went through a renewing moment the night before. It was odd that my body felt that good especially because I was sore in certain areas because of what I and Ethan had been up to the night before.By simply reminiscing the events of last night, I felt a blush rise to my cheeks and I was certain that my ears had turned red as well because of how incredibly shy I felt. Everything was fresh in my memory and as the details came together I felt like burying myself under the sheets and never resurfacing.While I was overcome with lust and only focused on going all the way with Ethan I wasn't this embarrassed, but it seemed like that lust fog had cleared and I was inclined to hide away elsewhere as I recalled how I’d been much more forward than him the entire night. I practically initiated most of what happened and now I wondered where I found the confide

Layla’s POVNadia was sitting across from me with a pout as she tugged on my sleeve like she’d been doing for the past ten minutes, like a needy pet.“Tell me everything, everything!” She whined again after she claimed that I only mentioned that Ethan was my mate and nothing more.“There’s nothing more to tell, I found out that he was my mate that night and we were both happy” I shrugged as I spoke but she shook her head at me like that was still not enough.“Layla, you didn't sleep here that night so I know there's more to it than you both being happy” She probed further just like I’d expected.“If I tell you everything will you stop doing all of that?” I gestured at her pitiful face and her hand on my sleeve.“Of course” She smiled brightly and nodded at me eagerly.“Fine.” I said and she finally let go of my sleeve and sat up attentively.“It feels wrong to admit it so early but it feels beyond amazing and being with him completes me, I doubt that I can even find the right words to

Layla's POVA splitting headache hit me as my eyes opened slowly, I could barely remember the past events that’d caused such a wicked headache but as my eyes fully opened I realized that the headache was the least of my problems.I was in a cave!?Instantly, the memories of my last conversation with Arnold and how I’d been knocked out before I could contact Ethan for help came flooding in and fear gripped me in its wicked claws like never before. I immediately tried to stand up in an attempt to run out of the cave but an unfamiliar and prickly laughter made me halt my attempts.The mocking and dark laughter I’d heard was Arnold’s and he was now hovering over me on the floor with a vicious smile on his face.“Oh, do you think Ethan us coming to save you from me again?” His smile quickly morphed into a dark expression that I never thought he was capable of conjuring.Weak and in shock, I stared at him blankly without knowing what would serve as a suitable response.“I gave you a home wh

Ethan’s POVLayla’s scent was still lingering heavily in my room and I absolutely loved how intoxicating and enticing it was as it filled my nostrils, the only problem with that was that it made me crave her presence like I hadn't been with her in days.Meanwhile, it had only been a couple of hours since I’d seen her but I craved the feel of her luscious skin against mine, the way her body responded to mine like we were made from the same essence, how her helpless moans pushed me over the edge and how her innocence turned me on like a trigger was being pulled each time she stared at me with those shy doe eyes of hers.Thinking about her so sensually made me want her even more, I tried to push the thoughts out of my mind and focus on the work notes I was making but I only managed to concentrate for a few minutes before my need for her began to overwhelm me all over again and I knew that I needed to find her before I lost my mind.I quickly rose to my feet abandoning my work and I made

Ethan’s POVLayla was standing on a mountain when I found her, bent over a lone flower growing in between the rocks and gently touching its petals in amazement.Meanwhile, I remained transfixed in a spot starting at Layla’s back while my thoughts overwhelmed me, all the things I’d planned to tell her when I saw her were stuck in my throat and my entire body felt numb.I’d planned to tell her how much I’d missed her, how I would have spent a lifetime searching for her, how every second of the past few days she was the most prominent thought in my mind, how I regretted letting her out of my sight to fall prey to Arnold’s wiles and how my heart beat only for her.But I couldn't.And just then she seemed to have felt my presence and she turned around to face me, her eyes brightened with relief and she ran over to me without wasting another second and pulled me into a tight embrace, one where she could've easily squished our bodies into one and all I could do was weakly hug her back even t

Hera’s POVFor days, I’d been observing everything in the palace with hawk eyes.All the plans I’d made beforehand seemed to have fallen out of place for reasons that could ultimately be tied to the fact that Layla was a hypocritical whore that was jumping from one man in power to the other.However, the moment I realized that she’d dragged both men by their balls out of the palace, I knew that it was time to strike and I wasted no time whipping up a new plan to take over as the Queen of Crescent Valley which had always been my rightful position.The very evening that Ethan and the majority of his rogue army had been deployed to search for Layla, I found my way to the chambers of the head guard that handled the security operations while Arnold was still in power.I was now standing at his door, dressed from head to toe in golden attire like a goddess as I knocked softly and waited for his response.“Who’s there?” He called out in a deep, strong voice, one that made me confident in his

Layla’s POVNo matter how hard I tried to, I couldn't accept the reality that Ethan was dead and worst of all he’d died right before me and I couldn't do anything to stop it. The pain that surged through my body was inexplicable and it ate away bits of my heart, the parts that were sworn off to Ethan from the day I admitted my love for him.Even days after, I was still inconsolable and I felt like I was slowly losing my mind.So I screamed, louder than I ever had and with everything within me and all the strength I could possibly muster. Once I started screaming, I couldn't stop, I screamed like I wanted my guts to pop out and soon enough the entire forest felt the weight of my scream.The birds ran off into an opposite direction in their swarms like they were migrating because of how lethal my screams were and how they echoed throughout the entire wilderness. My hands were in my hair and I pulled it as I continued to scream, all while watching the trees sway like they were about to b

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
Layla’s POVI’d known Joy several times in my life, but the joy I felt as I confirmed that Ethan was real and he’d returned to me was boundless, it felt like an unreal wave of happiness had been injected into my bloodstream and life finally felt worth living again.Like the war was over, and the battle line had been erased, it was surreal.“Are you going to keep staring at me like I'm a ghost?” Ethan laughed as he continued to massage my sore joints.“You might as well be” I reached out and cupped his cheek, yearning to remain in contact with him so he wouldn't disappear into thin air.“Well, I'm real and I'm here, forever this time around” He suddenly pulled me off the bed and onto his laps and I laughed as a yelp left my lips in surprise.“So you can stop staring at me with those alluring orbs of yours” He pulled my face toward him and kissed my forehead, not the quick kind that would pass as a peck, this one lingered like he was trying to touch my soul through physical touch.God,
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 136: Two Villains
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
