CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 63: A scary illusion
Aaron’s POVMy victory of completing my mission successfully washed over me as my hand and the knife remained stuck in her chest. Yet, I hadn't seen any blood gushing out and she had cried out in pain or slumped to death from being stabbed with the poisoned knife.I’d never been more confused in my entire life.Just then, my eyes had locked with hers as I faced her fully and she was cocking her head from one side to the other as a cloud of immense confusion rested on her face. Wasn't I supposed to be looking at the face of a dead woman? How could a woman that should’ve been dead be stating back at me with such a puzzled expression?“Excuse me? Why have your hands been pressed against my chest for the past few minutes?” She blinked her confused eyes at me severally and my brain stopped dead for a few seconds.After I’d properly processed the question she’d just asked me, I looked down at my hands where the knife should've been lodged into her chest, but it wasn't there.It’d disappeared

Arnold’s POVMy father and I were seating side by side for the first time in a long while and his eyes were less angry and judgmental than they usually were as he crossed his legs on the bed while I sat on the edge right next to him.“My birthday is coming up in a few days, and I’ve been rounding up the preparations for the ball I’ll be holding in honor of that” I informed him as soon as we rounded up our discussions concerning the matters of the royal court.“Is that so?” He said in a displeased tone that’d practically sounded like a grunt.Of course, the neutral and peaceful moment we’d shared had been cut short when the discussion had switched from royal matters to one that concerned my happiness, the one thing he seemed to be hell bent on destroying of recent.“Yes, it's so. I have plans to get an elephant parade that everyone in the kingdom can tag along with and walk through the entire town in jubilations” I smiled as a vivid picture of how beautiful it’d look to see smiles on th

Arnold’s POVThe day was finally here, the day of my long awaited birthday ball.I’d tried extremely hard to only entertain feelings of excitement and positivity for the day ahead, but for some reason, my father’s words kept clawing in my guts non stop no matter how much I’d wanted to ignore them.The fact that I had absolutely no clue about Layla’s origin and her lineage had bothered me even before he mentioned it, and after he did, it’d worn me out with worry even more. I was certain that it’d not bring any weird information to light, but I’d made up my mind to do some intricate research on her background to find out who she was, where she was from and who her real parents were.However, I’d not planned to do so because I believed any of the baseless allegations against her, but because I knew that it’d help me prove her innocence to everyone, especially my father. Unfortunately, we both needed his blessings to be joined as one and he’d be the important person in the coronation that’

ETHANNostalgia and emotions nearly choked me as I walked through the gates of the palace I grew up in, the palace where my father was murdered in, the palace where a curse was placed on my head and the curse stole my innocence and ruined the trajectory of my life. The palace where I have returned to, to put everything back in its right places.I ignored the emotions clawing at my chest as I walked right in because emotions were fickle things and I did not have the time to dwell on such. My blood surged faster and my wolf was going on and on excitedly within me at the instant chaos that ensued from just my entrance and I couldn't help the slight grin that tugged at the corners of my lips as I walked further in through the walkway that led to where the King was sitting. I could see his son beside him, staring at me as if I was the incarnation of the devil and he wasn't wrong, I really was and I had no time for weaklings like him, my business was with his father. "YOU!!!" Aragon grow

ETHANMateMy whole body stilled as the reality of what was really happening dawned on me. I just found my mate. Never in my wildest life had I thought that could be possible. After being plagued by the craziest curse, I was now staring right at my mate. My feet started moving on their own accord and the closer I walked to the girl that was frozen in place, the more the sweet scent enveloped me, the more the mate bond grew stronger, the more the bond was pulling me towards her with a force that was beyond me. The she-wolf stood there, frozen in place as she stared at me as if I was the devil himself. There were tears shimmering in her eyes and her fear of me was so palpable that I could almost taste it in the air. I mean she was so afraid of me that she was shaking terribly but instead of bolting and running as fast as her feet can carry her, she remained frozen in that position. Maybe she was so scared that she had momentarily lost control of her legs. And she was my mate. Sh

Arnold’s POVMy entire life had come crumbling to its lowest point in the twinkle of an eye, and a day of jubilation had quickly become one of the most traumatic days that I and the people of Crescent Valley had ever witnessed.As my mind did a mental recap of the horrific turn of events, I still couldn’t believe it.Ethan who we’d been led to believe had died stormed my birthday celebration and within minutes of his appearance, he'd taken my father’s life like it was worth nothing. In an equally brutal manner, he’d also taken an elder’s life for speaking up against him.Like that wasn't enough to shake the entire foundation of the crescent pack, he got me fucked up when his eyes landed on Layla and he had the audacity to blurt nonsense about her being his mate.As enraged as his useless claims had made me, I didn't have the luxury of dwelling on most of the a shit he’d pulled while knowing that he was locked up in my father’s chambers with Layla who rightfully belonged to me and no o

Layla’s POVI woke up drenched in a pool of my sweat and yet I found myself shivering like I’d been iced from head to toe because of the aftershock of having a nightmare about Ethan. He’d just been around for less than a day and I was already suffering from ugly and horrific dreams about him as though he hadn't given me enough of a scare while I was awake.On instinct, I rolled into a pathetic ball in an attempt to cower in fear and protect myself from Ethan who’d raided my dreams, but before I could completely squeeze my body into a full ball, I felt a pair of familiar strong arms reaching around me and I was instantly pulled against a rock hard frame.It was a comforting feeling that sent waves of relief washing over me even before I heard his voice.“It's okay, sweetheart. It’s just a bad dream, none of it’s real okay?” His deep baritone made my head vibrate against his chest as I tried to calm down.Why had my horrible dream felt so fucking real?Right before I dove into more unse

Hera’s POVThe events that’d unfolded at Alpha Arnold’s birthday celebration had left me shocked beyond what words could possibly convey. There were several ways I’s have expected things to go south as it usually did during our celebrations of late, but the arrival of a supposed dead and cursed member of their family was beyond expectations.Just like most people in Crescent Valley that knew of the cursed tales regarding Ethan, I’d never have thought that he’d have survived long enough to be alive in his twenties. That conviction about his death had left me utterly shocked when he’s waltzed into the ceremonial hall like he rightfully owned it and everyone in it.I’d watched with an immeasurable awe while he proved his superiority by brutally killing the king who’d been the most powerful Alpha in Wandercoast, and afterward he’d crushed an elder’s skull without hesitation for speaking up against him.Despite the horrific sight it’d been to most people, it’d only spiked my admiration for

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
