CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 125: Kidnapped
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 126: The One He must kill
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 127: One of us must die
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 128: Pseudo Queen
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 129: The Revelation
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 130: Hello Traitor
Hera’s POVI held my royal scepter firmly between my fingers while seated on my throne as I faced the host of guards before me that I’d sent for.“Where is he?!” I asked in an authoritative tone and the guard closest to me trembled like a weakling.“Where is the unfortunate bastard I asked you to bring to me? Why is he nowhere in sight? Or did I stutter when I called for his arrest?” I stomped my gold scepter on the ground loudly and rose to my feet in anger.“My Queen, it seems that he has escaped from the palace, we searched all the grounds and quarters and he was nowhere to be found” A guard finally spoke up and I slowly sat back in my chair.I knew the bastard was a lowly coward and he’d only been posing as a powerful man because of Ethan’s backing.“And who searched his room?” I threw the question to no one in particular and watched as a guard stepped forward.“I did, your highness. His room looked a mess when we raided it earlier, as though he’d hurriedly gathered only his prize
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 131: Don’t Cross Me
Hera’s POV“Please spare my life, I'll do anything to show you that you have my undivided loyalty” Aaron begged as he knelt before me looking like a homeless fool.“Your loyalty? That's what I stand to gain? Your feeble and questionable loyalty?” I laughed shrilly, irritated that he would offer me something so meaningless in exchange for his life.“Then my life, I swear on my life that I’ll serve you till the very end, no matter what” He pledged nervously, his hands clasped together like he was praying to a goddess, a title that perfectly suited me.Despite his plea befitting for a goddess, I stretched my leg and kicked him across his face and watched as he collapsed to the ground weakly but not after letting out a painful groan from the unexpected contact.“From the second you stepped foot into this palace, your life belonged to me and I can assure you that it’s as meaningless as your pleas” I rose from my throne and carried my scepter with me and u walked down the steps to his level
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 132: Hail or Brimstones
Layla’s POVMy soul, my passion, my hope, my reason for living, my drive and my worth had gone down the hill with Ethan as he fell to his death.There was barely anything left of me and I was beyond broken, life was a horrible drag but I preferred living it in solitude, living it in the last place where I had memories of Ethan, the last place were I’d been in his arms which I’d grown to love as home; the one place were I truly belonged.However, I knew that Ethan would be extremely unhappy in the afterlife if he learnt of how miserably I was living. It would equally be a huge shame to the sacrifice he gave, it would be disrespectful of me to live the rest of my days as a shell of my self after he gave his life for me when he could’ve just taken mine and become rid of the horrible curse that plagued him.On the very day I realized that, I knew that I had to do better.That was the day I tapped into my powers intentionally for the first time, the day I was in control of my transformatio
