CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 79: A spy
Ethan’s POVI decided to take some time to re-familiarize myself with the palace so I headed out to take an evening stroll around the palace. Deep down, I knew that what I wanted to do the most was to seek out my mate and replicate the blissful experience I’d had with her the last time.Yet, I was fully aware of how I seemed I lose control each time I was around her and I didn't enjoy the feeling of not being in control, and I enjoyed it even less when I was relinquishing control to a woman so I decided that a stroll would calm those raging urges momentarily.I planned to walk around the entire expanse of the palace and with every step I took, it unearthed memories of my past that I was forced to bury while I fought to keep my curse in check in the wilderness.The first thing that’d sparked a bunch of memories from my past to flood in was a statue of the moon goddess where I’d pressed my little palms into while it was wet such that my handprints dried with it and they were still visib
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 80: Attracted to something dark
Layla’s POVI watched Alpha Arnold in deep thought for a while before he grabbed my hand and placed a delicate kiss on my fingers.“Well, I've got some business to attend to. Send for me the minute anything goes wrong okay?” He caressed my cheek affectionately.“Yeah, I will.” My lips curved into a small smile and he kissed my fingers again just before he turned and left my chambers.The minute he shut the door behind him, I sunk into my bed face first as I felt terrible waves of guilt overwhelm me for lying to Alpha Arnold about the fact that Ethan kissed me. I hated having to lie to him but I was convinced that telling him the truth would cause more harm than could.Judging from how agitated and vengeful he’d gotten the last time he witnessed Ethan pulling me into his room, I knew that he’d go completely feral and go off to attack him if I had mentioned the kiss.As if that wasn't a tough enough ordeal, I was reminded about how my wolf had been awfully quiet at the moment when I nee
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 81: I don’t sleep with whores
Ethan’s POVAfter taking a few strolls around the palace for the last few days, I noticed that the maids and guards were awfully scared of me from how they went dead silent whenever I was passing close by, it almost seemed like they were holding their breaths to avoid getting on my bad side.Some of them seemed so scared that I thought they’d end up pissing their pants from how they looked whenever my eyes landed on them, and to me it was the most fun I've had securing the shit out of people in a long while. To extend my fun even more, I enjoyed taking longer routes around the palace just to feed on their fear.Over the last few days, I’d also found a quiet spot that people rarely walked past behind the palace and Jenkins and I had been taking some well deserved smoke breaks there while we spoke about the affairs of the palace.However, today Jenkins was absent when I arrived at the spot even though he usually arrived there before me, and whenever he was late for anything I knew that
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 82: Keep your eyes off my mate
Arnold’s POVAt lunch, I was finally enjoying a semblance of peace after the hectic day I’d had that included me drafting and binning different plots to reclaim my throne. However, I was momentarily free of those worries as I sat beside Layla and we enjoyed our meal in the grand dining room.My favorite part of my meals wasn’t even the food but the fact that Layla was present during all of those meals and her company made all my worries seem small and meaningless. I watched how she took small bites of her food and flashed me an adorable smile each time our eyes met when she looked up and those little things had a way of filling my heart to the brim and bringing me an unusual peace despite the chaos.All of a sudden, I noticed that everywhere had become eerily quiet, and the maids and guards that had been moving around freely while chattering were frozen in place and the stench of fear clouded the entire place like a plague.I was fucking confused and I couldn't imagine what the cause
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 83: Standing Up to him
Layla’s POVI hated it so much.I hated that I even had to endure such a humiliating experience where the man that was responsible for all I could dare to be grateful for was treated with disrespect and disdain in front of the maids and guards.Still, I couldn't help but feel more wary and scared of Ethan than I’d been before I witnessed the manner in which he treated Alpha Arnold. I couldn't even believe that I’d even been slightly intrigued by a man that was so cruel to a blood relation of his, what was I thinking? Well, it’d definitely all gone to dust now.I dragged in a deep breath as I made a vow that I should've made the minute I came in contact with Ethan, a vow to do whatever it would take to ensure that Alpha Arnold retained his position as the rightful heir of the thrown no matter what vile things Ethan would haul at us in the process.I mean, Alpha Arnold had been unbelievably kind to me since the minute we first met, he’d nursed me to recovery after the loss of my foster
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 84: Not enough to take me out
Ethan’s POVAs I watched my mate walk out of my chambers triumphantly, my rage imploded within me and I couldn't believe that I was the person she had just addressed in that manner. I was initially under the impression that she was a shy and timid she-wolf after the few encounters we’d had but it turns out that I was completely wrong about that after what has just ensued between us.What was worse was the feeling of my heart being ripped from its roots that had suddenly hit me when she said that death was a far more merciful sentence than having anything to do with someone like me.Why had it felt like my entire being was being set ablaze with the pain of rejection when I heard that? I was dumbfounded that she could even spark those kinds of feelings within me when she was so puny and powerless in comparison to me.Fuck, there was also the unbearable pang of jealousy that had struck me when she mentioned that she belonged to Arnold. I didn't care that she thought I wasn't worthy of he
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 85: A foolish guard
Ethan’s POVArrows were raining from countless directions like hail from the sky and while a number of them grazed my skin, none of them did any real harm to me and I healed almost as quickly as the scars from the hits appeared such that I looked unaffected.I walked through the arrows being shot at me and used my enhanced sight to map out the locations of all the shooters. A couple of them were hidden behind trees, or on top of the trees right behind the branches, and the rest of them were located under camouflaged disguises to blend in with the forest.As my wolf grew excited within me at the prospect of bloodshed, I promised him that chance to give all the shooters a gruesome and entertaining death.With glee, I let my wolf take the reigns, and using his enhanced speed I attacked the shooters behind the trees first and I chose to snap their necks while making eye contact with every one of them as they took their last breath of air and dropped lifelessly on the ground.Next, I used
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 86: I like your energy
Ethan’s POVAs usual, my blood worked like magic to heal wounds as it had just done with this guard’s injury.Within a few minutes of applying it to his own wound, I could see that the color that was once drained from his skin was gradually returning, the wound was slowly closing up and he had started to look much better. He still laid on the floor for a while and I allowed it because I needed him to be in good shape for the long ride back home.A few more minutes passed by and I noticed that the wound had fully closed up and his skin looked like there had never been a wound there in the first place. He also noticed that he was fully healed and he got off the floor and dusted his body.For some reason, he was running his hand over where his wound was a few minutes ago and I realized that he must be in awe of how my blood was able to heal him faster than his wolf would have and it’d also gotten rid of a poison that should only be curable by its designated antidote.“How?” His eyes trav
