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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 133: The Throne is Mine
Layla’s POVAt first light, I woke up with my mother’s voice ringing in my head and making all my nerves come alive because of the task ahead me. I rose from the soft grass I’d slept on and stared at the dead fireplace that had been my source of warmth for weeks one last time before I walked to the stream.Quickly, I washed up and convened with my ancestors who assured me that they’d go with me and the gift of their powers would make me untouchable no matter what. With that in mind I was more confident of my victory and the reign I was bound to enjoy.I conjured a horse of my own, an animal that would become my familiar since it was the very first that I’d called forth using my powers, and I mounted it for the trip back to Crescent Valley. It had taken almost the entire day to arrive at my destination but just before evening fell I was at the huge gates of Crescent Valley once again.Since I got my powers, I’d been blessed with a sixth sense that could tell when danger was lurking and
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
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 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 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
