CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 15: No Harm Must Come To Her.
Arnold’s POVLayla’s safety was my number one priority and I’d never be level headed with any one that jeopardized her safety in the slightest ways. I didn't give a shit that she was safe and sound when I’d found her because if I’d gotten to her even a second later, I wasn’t sure how differently things would’ve played out.Irrationality wasn’t a trait that could be ascribed to my leadership patterns or qualities, but when it came to Layla, I didn't care if I had to seem or sound irrational while I defended her, especially if it meant that she might’ve been in harm’s way and no one was there to protect her.It terrified me more that I was willing to let on that she might’ve actually come in contact with a rogue wolf and she’d been naively trying to approach them with no idea what rouge wolves were capable of unleashing on someone whose wolf hadn't matured like hers.Worst of all, I knew fully well that other men weren't blind to the immeasurable and other worldly beauty that Layla posse

Layla’s POVMy first date.I’d have my first date with a man that cherished the ground I walked on like I was an actual goddess like he’d said countless times. It made me giddy and so excited that Alpha Arnold wanted to take me on a date. I mean, he hadn’t spelled it out completely, but I’d known that the special place he had in mind, was most likely a place where we’d both enjoy our time together.And what did time together like that translate as? A date!The minute he’d shut the door behind him after he’d walked me back to my room, all I could think of was how amazing the evening of the next day would be with him. He was already so unbelievably sweet, kind, and patient with me, so I knew that he’d surpass my expectations with whatever he’d planned for us.Even while I freshened up for the night’s rest, my mind wandered to thoughts of how much I’d loved his rapport with the commoners and traders alike. It was nothing short of amazing to witness how kind and brilliant he was as a ruler

Arnold’s POVNature was Layla’s second home, and I’d known that because of the times when I’d watched her from afar play with plants and animals before we met officially. With that knowledge, I was certain that she’d have an amazing time if I brought her to one of the most beautiful lakes in all of Crescent Valley, and I was content that she loved it even more than I’d predicted she would.How could she be so excited by a butterfly’s perch? She was unbelievably adorable and precious in every single way one could imagine. I didn't think that a woman could ever have me in a choke hold as strong as the one she had me in, but it wasn't one I ever wanted to escape from because of how blissful it felt.Layla radiated a certain kind of peace that a person could only experience once in a lifetime, but in planned to keep it for the rest of our lives that we’d spend together. I was unsure how she could be so enchantingly beautiful and still have the humility of a child with the heart of an angel

Arnold POVWe'd gone on to talk about sweet nothing for the next hour and a half and her laughter kept filling the entire area, and because of how contagious and lovely it sounded, I ended up laughing as well and filling the air with my deep throat chuckles as well.My wolf felt so safe with her and I didn't care that our conversation barely had a main topic, all I wanted was to keep talking to her. I didn't know how often I'd have enough free time to simply enjoy being in her presence, so I decided to bask in every moment we shared.Slowly, our conversation began to stir toward my childhood experiences that I still cherished to this very day. I didn't have many because it was full of training and private lectures to teach me about tradition, but I was able to share a few funny training sessions that I could still remember.She was unable to relate to most of my experiences because she'd grown up in the woods and she barely had any spectacular moments. And in a way, I was grateful that

ETHANThey must all think I was dead by now. They must all be certain that I was dead by now.I couldn't blame them, no one would have witnessed a 10-year-old rip out the heart of a guard in just one stroke... No one would have witnessed a 10-year-old under the full impact of the curse by the moon Goddess, seen the savageness and darkness in my eyes, the blood lust and thirst in my eyes, the need to ravage and kill as much as possible pulsing through me with so much force that it incinerated every other thing. No one could have expected a 10-year-old to carry that kind of weight on his shoulders and survive till now. After my father allegedly attempted to kill his brother because of the throne, because he wanted to be crowned the King of Wandercoast, which he failed gallantly, and his brother, Aragon killed him in self-defense after suffering a fatal blow to the face, a blow that was so lethal that his whole skin peeled off and even his wolf couldn't heal the wound and the most powe

HERAA thousand meditations couldn't possibly calm the unbridled rage that’d built up within me because of the puny bitch that had dug her claws deep into Alpha Arnold’s feeble skin. Layla acted all innocent and put together, but I knew that she was nothing other than a conniving little bitch that just needed to work her way to the top of the ladder.I wished that her aunt and uncle had done a much better job at concealing her identity because right now, their failure to do so had fucked up everything I’d struggled to build for the past few years that I’d been running on a perfect strategy that would've made me a promising Luna if she hadn't wormed her way into Alpha Arnold’s heart.Before I could process the horse shit that she’d currently turned my life into any further, I grabbed a vase from my bed stand and crushed it in between my hands angrily because I badly needed an outlet for the unexplainable rage that I felt.As I watched the pieces of the vase fall to the ground, I realize

LAYLAA laughter that could’ve caused my belly to erupt filled my chambers as Nadia just completed one of her famous expressions or imitations of different people in the palace. I didn't know how she managed to pull it off, but Nadia had a talent for improvisation and she always lifted my spirits with her witty behavior when she executed any of her funny habits.After my laughter had finally subsided, I rolled over to the edge of the bed and leaned forward so that I’d be able to clearly see Nadia who was on a mat beside my bed. I was never comfortable with the fact she’d always chosen to sleep on the mat despite how much room there was on the huge bed I’d been given.“Nads, you know you can just sleep on the bed beside me, right?” I rose my brows at her as I awaited her usual decline whenever it came to this particular offer.“Look here,” She sat up on the mat so that she was now facing me, “You already know that's a No. Why do you always offer despite that?”I watched her brows wrinkl

ARNOLD ‘How the mighty hath fallen!’ That quote was now permanently bored into my mind’s eye after I’d seen it play out before my very eyes as I grew up. In the instance I’d been opportune to witness, “the mighty” was my ailing father who had grown weaker by the day from my teenage years and it’d shocked me each time I saw him. My father was one of the most feared and revered Alphas of his time, he was what you'd refer to as a man of valor because of how he conducted himself and always put his pack first. I still considered myself as incredibly lucky to have grown up under the wing of a man who led his pack as brilliantly as he did, because not everyone got such an outstanding mentor from birth like I did. Growing up, I admired my father’s resilience and strength as he sorted matters of the royal court and the pack in general. Every single time that he’d set out to conquer a territory and merge it with ours, the palace prepared a celebratory feast because we knew that he’d never lo

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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 141: Ordained by the moon goddess
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 138: A beast through and thorough
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
