CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 52: Castle’s Obsession
Castle’s POVMy breath had hitched in my throat as I watched her walk in.Her beauty was next to none I’d ever laid eyes on, and watching her walk in looking so elegant and gorgeous made my heart skip several beats. Everything about her was otherworldly, and I’d never been so drawn to a woman in my entire life.Was it those uniquely gorgeous eyes? I’d definitely kill to be at the center of their focus.She swayed her hips as she walked and I knew that I’d do anything to have my hands wrapped around them and just stare into her gorgeous eyes until I got lost in them. I was never in my right senses around her, but what the fuck did I need senses for when a woman as breathtaking as she was in my line of view?Her aura bubbled with excitement, innocence, and brilliance that I’d never picked up from any other woman. If I was told that she wasn't from our world, I’d back it up without hesitation because of how stunningly beautiful she always was.It never mattered what she was in, what she w

Arnold’s POVAgainst my will, my head bopped up and down to the rhythm of the enticing and celebratory music that was being played by the royal band. I tapped my hands against my seat joyfully as I basked in how beautifully everything had been going so far, and I was simply grateful that we could enjoy a celebratory ball after everything that’d been going wrong earlier.Oh, my heart felt full and at peace.So far, the ball had mostly consisted of different dancing groups that’d come from far and near to showcase their incredible talent and a few plays had been acted out that’d made everyone laugh out loud to their heart’s content as well.Liquor and several delicacies were flowing like milk and honey and it was evident that several people in attendance were already heavily intoxicated with the way they’d been laughing all over the place and dancing non-stop on the dance floor. It was a sight for sore eyes, but I loved my people so it always made me elated to see them having a great tim

Layla’s POVI’d never been to a ball in all my life and so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I’d arrived at the ball. Still, to my surprise I’d began to enjoy it the minute I took my seat and saw that there was a dance performance in action. It’d been a wonderful sight to see everyone happy and full of jolly as the dance group performed and I immediately got into the same joyous mood as everyone else.Bringing Nadia with me as my companion was undoubtedly the best decision I’d made that night, because her contagious laughter and her willingness to try every meal in sight had made it so much more fun. She’d cajoled me to taste anything that she ate and as long as she’d vetted it as good enough for me, I believed her and tried it out as well.None of the meals we’d shared had disappointed me, and I was glad that she’d encouraged me to give them a shot despite how uncertain I was about them because they’d seemed awfully foreign to me. Nadia’s one of a kind ability to scrutinize the most u

Arnold’s POVI’d been burdened with the responsibility of taking my father back to his chambers even though I was fucking furious and beyond confused that he’d just tried to kill the woman I was helplessly in love with. My duty as an Alpha required me to be report first to family, before any other thing so I had no choice but to stay by my father’s side.Even now, while I we were in his chambers and both struggling to subdue the wreck of emotions that plagued us, my mind replayed what’d happened and how everything had fucked with my mind up until this very moment.I’d never forget tonight, and it's for all the wrong reasons.The entire morbid scene that broke out between My father and Layla marked the abrupt end of a once joyful ball that I’d thought would finally help everyone relax and catch a break from the chaotic month we’d recorded. But I couldn't have been more wrong, instead, it seemed to have kicked off a fresh start of chaotic experiences from the look of things.And Layla, I

Arnold’s POVThoughts of Layla’s wellbeing had dominated my mind even while I was with my father, so the minute I got a chance to get away from him, my heart instinctively led me toward Layla’s chambers as did my wolf’s incessant whining about his need to confirm that she wasn't dealing with the aftershock of my father’s attack poorly.In a few determined long strides, I’d arrived at her chambers and I knocked softly and waited for a response. After a few minutes without getting a response from her, I’d gotten worried and let myself into her room without thinking twice.However, the minute I staggered into the room, I halted my steps as I heard her snoring lightly and saw that she was covered in her duvet and fast asleep. I let out a heavy sigh of relief just before I gently shut the doors behind me such that I wouldn't startle her with the sound or cause her to stir in her sleep.I made my way toward her bed and my eyes never left her gorgeous face until I’d finally reached her. I car

Hera’s POVIn my grand scheme of plans, I’d only organized the ball so that it’d serve as a way to pacify Alpha Arnold while I sought a means to get back into his good graces and share each other’s bodies in sexual bliss as we used to. Despite how much Layla dominated my thoughts often, I’d never intended that she’d be the center of focus at some point during the ball.But of course, I’d absolutely enjoyed how things played out toward the very end.I’d observed how everything turned into a burst for Layla just because her dancing style had provoked King Aragon. He’d been sick for years and we’d never heard him roar like that in public but Layla had provoked him to do within her first few months in the palace and I knee that there wasn’t anything ordinary about it.Many people might not have noticed, but with how closely I’d taken note of everything from the minute he’d began walking toward her, I was able to spot the conviction and fear in his eyes while he addressed her. It was one th

Hera’s POVAnother day, another reason to fuel my blazing hatred for Layla.Alpha Arnold’s reaction to what I’d rightfully pointed out concerning Layla being a witch dug deeper into the endless pit of grudges I held against her. I was so enraged that I felt underneath feet burning with discomfort with the unusually long strides I’d been taking and how I kept stomping my feet loudly against the floor in frustration.With the anger and humiliation I felt from being told I was jealous of a flimsy teenage girl, I knew that I’d need to prove to Alpha Arnold that I’d been right all along to gain back the respect and reverence he once had for me.I needed answers to all the questions I’d been asking myself about her true identity that seemed to have no answers. And after the way King Aragon had flared up at her, I was dead certain that the only place I could find those answers was from him so I’d set out for his chambers the very second I’d left Alpha Arnold’s.In no time, I’d arrived at the
Last Updated : 2023-06-08CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 59: Was last night real?
Layla’s POVAs my eyes adjusted to the morning light that’d filtered into my room, I immediately shut them back as a sharp pain my head caused me to wince slightly from the unexpected impact. I could swear that I’d been asleep for much longer than I actually did, so I would’ve expected that I’d wake up feeling much more refreshed than usual instead of being hit with a banging headache.Again, I tried to open my eyes but my hands flew to support my head as I felt the earlier pain spread across my entire head and force me to wince in pain louder this time around. As soon as I did, I heard Nadia stirring where she was asleep on the floor and she’d suddenly sat up and she rubbed her eyes sleepily before she fully faced me.“Was that you? Or was I imagining things in my sleep?” She asked while she took in my posture where my hands were still resting on my head.“My head. It hurts so much Nads” I told her in a strained voice as I massaged my temples in a bid to soothe it.“Give me a minute,

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
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
