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

LAYLA"I've come here to take your daughter to Crescent Valley."The words made a lump form in my throat, one that choked me and made it near impossible to breathe. He wasn't talking about me, right? No one except my Aunty and Uncle knew of my real identity. I hardly even go out and everyone that knew me knew me as a boy, a male so what was he talking about?From where I was hiding behind the curtain, I saw Aunty Kayla exchange glances with her husband, Uncle Nate and I saw how her hands balled into fists. "Our daughter?" it was Uncle Nate who spoke, his voice sounding confused. “I think you've made a mistake, we have no daughter, what we have is a son, our nephew who lost his parents a long time ago so we've raised him as ours. He's indisposed so he's always indoors."The intruder's lips stretched into a smile, an amused smile that looked sinister and made the hair at the back of neck stand up as he leaned over on the chair he was sitting with his two hands on either of his legs.

LAYLA"Wake up, Layla, wake up," the words sounded far away in my subconscious but the gentle yet urgent shoving was what made my eyes open and all trace of sleep disappeared from my eyes when I saw Aunty Kayla. "Aunty, what's wrong? Why are you waking me up in the middle of the...""Shhh," she interrupted me as she pulled me to a sitting position, "this is not the time to chat, we need to leave now!"Then she was pulling me to my feet and shoving my clothes from the wardrobe into a bag with an urgency I'd never seen in her before. Maybe I was still sleeping or I was still drowsy from sleep but nothing she said made any sense. We were leaving? To where? And why in the middle of the night with no prior warning?"Aunty," I pulled at her hands so she stopped packing my clothes, "what are you talking about? Where are we going? Can you... It's the middle of the night.""Layla, there's no time to explain now, our priority now is getting out of here and once we leave Wandercoast, we'll exp

LAYLAI drifted in and out of consciousness, nothing making sense and that terrible nightmare replaying itself in my head. Aunty Kayla and Uncle Nate. And blood. Too much blood. I woke up screaming. I flew from the bed wildly, my hands clutching the sheets before I made a beline to dive out of the bed and out of the room to help Aunty Kayla and Uncle Nate, to stop the bleeding, to...Strong hands held me back, pulling me back towards the bed."You need to calm down," the masculine voice whispered close to my ears, the soothing voice doing nothing to calm the erracticness that was going on in my body."Nooo," I screamed, thrashing against the stronghold, "I need to go to them, I need to help them, they're bleeding, they're..." my words dissolved into mindless cries and screams when the reality of what happened dawned on me again. They were dead.My foster parents were dead.Just like that. The darkness took over again. Several days passed, blending into a blur as time seemed endl

ARNOLDFrom the day I set my eyes on her, I knew I had to have her, take her, own her, claim her, and do anything to make her belong to me. I had a routine of walking around Wandercoast, just to get familiar with the people I was one day going to rule and to listen to their needs and wants because I wanted them to love me and not fear me. And who'd have thought that my routine would one day lead me to the most beautiful girl to ever exist. It was the day I decided to talk a walk in the forest and as walked deeper than I've ever walked before, I couldn't help but feel something akin to warmth and expectancy, and just as I took a bend, leading to a deeper part of the woods, a figure came into sight.Upon closer look, I discovered that the person, whoever it was was small in stature. It was a small boy and even though I was looking at him from quite a distance, there was almost something magnetic about the distance between us and I could tell that the boy was very good-looking. Funny

LAYLAI'd been to very few places all my life and the woods were my favorite place in the world, so I was convinced that nothing was prettier than the nature I basked in whenever I was in the woods closest to my home. But today, I'd been proven absolutely wrong by the awe that enveloped my entire body when I set eyes on the beauty beyond Crescent Valley's gates as they opened.Without regard for how shy I'd been feeling earlier, I poked my head out of the Carriage's window and my eyes widened in appreciation of the land that might become my new home. I equally couldn't conceal the smile that crawled up to my face when I saw cute little bunnies hopping in the flowery bushes that lined the path we were riding on.Next, my eyes wandered to how the buildings were lined up asymmetrically but it somehow looked perfect, they were the most beautiful and intentional lineup of buildings I'd ever seen, especially because they also were adorned with beautiful flowers and door ornaments that looked

ARNOLDThe mere fact that I’d successfully brought Layla to Crescent Valley made my day a million times brighter than usual while I worked on a few documents that needed my approval. I simply couldn't help but bask in the possibility that she’d soon come of age and I could completely claim her as my Luna.I wouldn’t have cared if I had to wait years before I could get married to Layla, any man who’d set his eyes on her enthralling beauty would be willing to wait a lifetime for her, and I wasn't any different because I could swear by the moon goddess and any worthy deity that Layla was the most beautiful girl to ever walk this earth.I just so happened to have been favored by the moon goddess to find her first, and with everything that happened leading up to her being brought to my home, I knew that we’d definitely been destined to find one another and we were soulmates somehow.“I can't believe we really have her in our home” Loki pranced within me and I broke into a chuckle as my exci

LAYLAI’d lived a peaceful and satisfactory life with my aunt and uncle, and even though they’d hidden me from everyone else, they showered me with affection and care which made living with them bearable despite being cut off from the outside world.However, what I’d never had a taste of was affection as pure and unconditional as what Alpha Arnold had shown me in the last three days since I’d settled in at the palace in Crescent Valley. I’d been love bombed in ways I didn't know were possible by him, and despite it being a foreign experience, it was one I now welcomed heartily.If I’d ever had a dream of being royalty and being treated as such, my life right now would definitely surpass it. I wondered how a man could pay as much attention to me as Alpha Arnold has done, he’d made sure that I knew I was a priority he’d never neglect despite his busy schedule.He made sure to check up on me every day, he made time for me despite the royal duties that required his time more than I did.

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
