Arnold’s POVFor days, I still hadn't made any progress on my plans to reclaim crescent valley from Ethan and my frustration knew no bounds. I felt like everything was suddenly working against me and I had no idea how to turn things around for the better. Everything that I’d labored for just to become the next king seemed to have blown up in my face and I hated it so damn much.It angered me beyond words to think that I’d suffered through years of my father’s insults and turmoil just for Ethan to come and whisk it all away in the blink of an eye because there was a fucking curse empowering him to do so.I was torn from the inside out with a beastly rage, a wicked rage that had become my companion for days, and the more I thought of my present predicament, the more I felt an overwhelming urge to release that rage that had bottled up within me.“Fuck!” I roared as I threw a punch at the bathroom wall without thinking.My knuckles felt incredibly sore and my anger hadn't cooled down one
Ethan’s POVI could still taste her.Her beauty was next to none, and now the taste I’d gotten of her was equally unrivaled in comparison to all the she-wolves I’d ever been with over the years. I didn't think it was possible for my mind to me completely occupied with thoughts of a woman, but all I could think off for days was my mate and her alluring body.After having one taste of her, I wanted so much more, I wanted to be the only one that was opportune to enjoy the blissful sounds of her moans and her intoxicating scent that drove me wild me with pleasure.How was she so unbelievably perfect?The only place I wanted to be was buried in between her legs while she wrapped them around my neck and I drowned in her juices. I hadn't gotten a release and yet I felt so fucking fulfilled by simply watching her tremble as she got hers, and it was inarguably the most beautiful sight I’d ever been a witness to in all my life.Since then, I’d continuously craved her presence but it seemed like
Castle’s POVIt had been days since my awkward encounter with Nadia, but I constantly kept searching her out because I genuinely found her intriguing, and our last conversation was cut short. However, it seemed like Nadia didn't want to be found by me judging from how she’d suddenly go mute whenever I was in Layla’s room as opposed to how she’d scolded and observed me in the past.The once mighty Nadia had become a skilled dodger who managed to disappear whenever I was close by, but instead of finding it upsetting, I thought it was adorable and it only meant that I’d have to be one step ahead of her to catch her before she managed to disappear.Well, today was that day.I knew that Nadia always slipped into Layla’s room after she’d checked to see that I wasn't at my post outside the door, so I hid by a pillar and watched her sneak a peek before she practically ran into the room with Layla’s meal.Stealthily, I made my way back to my post and waited for her to re-emerge when she must’v
Layla’s POVMy head was whirling with thoughts of the last experience I had with Ethan even though it had been days since it happened. I felt as though it’d be impossible to get him out of my head no matter how hard I tried, and I’d slowly begun to feel helpless each time my mind assaulted me with memories of how he’d touched me and left me feeling shaken from the depths of my being.Countless times, I tried my hardest to push the thoughts out of my mind completely but to my utmost despair, they didn't budge and only kept torturing me day in and out. Like that wasn't horrible enough, there was also a dark part of me that absolutely enjoyed reliving those memories, so much that it made me desperate for a repeat of it sometimes.And god, did I hate that I had no control over those recurring dark urges.The worst part of it all was the guilt and shame that engulfed me whenever I thought of how I was betraying Alpha Arnold by nursing such unbecoming feelings for the man that was currently
Layla’s POVEthan’s confusion was taken a notch higher when he began to inch toward me dangerously, and of course all the alarms in my head went ringing wickedly because I knew what happened whenever he was unnecessarily close to me and I couldn't have another repeat of it.Cautiously, I move backward as he moved toward me but that didn't stop me and he didn't take his eyes off my head either as he moved with me.“Can you stop already? I don't like this one bit,” I warned him in the sternest tone I could manage but as usual it did nothing to faze him, and he refused to budge.My hands clutched my bedsheets and I kept moving backwards in a bid to protect myself as he advanced toward me with a look of sheer determination on his face. He was already hovering over me and I could barely breath from how close we were but I didn't stop moving away just as he didn't relent on approaching me.“Stop it right there, stop!” I flailed my hands at him but his eyes never left my head and it seemed l
Ethan’s POVFuck, she was beyond perfect.Her body was heaven, if one even existed that could surpass or be compared to her ravishing body. My lips sought to desperately taste every inch of her glorious body of it's own accord and I didn't see the need to hold back.Each time my lips made contact with her beautiful and supple skin, it felt like a chain of mind uttering explosions had been set off in my head. I was been driven wild with a desire that only her could ever trigger and I didn't mind it one bit, instead I wanted to drown in it for all of eternity.At first when I’d moved over to inquire about her odd white hair strands, I had no intentions of getting sexual with her, I didn't even want to touch anything other than the hair on her head. However, my body had a mind of its own and the second I realized how distracting and dangerous seducing her body was at such a close proximity, I couldn't stop myself from touching her.It was like my body and hers were drawn together by an a
Arnold looked as though his body had left his soul as he stared back at us with terror and disgust written all over his face. However, his look of utter shock didn't last long before it was gradually replaced with one of immense rage, one which meant nothing to me because he had no rightful claim over my mate.He now looked like he’d explode from anger with how red his face had gotten while he stared back at us.His hands balled into fists of fury at his sides and he bared his wolf’s sharp canines at me with a deathly gaze also directed at me. Slowly, his eyes were replaced with that of his wolf’s and he shot out his claws and took a pose that meant that he’d soon charge at me.All of which didn't bother me in the slightest, in fact I’d have loved to see him get even angrier.“Is that all you've got big boy?” I teased him as I moved away from my mate and faced him properly.The same second my sentence was completed, all hell broke loose and he fully shifted into his wolf’s form and lu
Layla’s POVShivers tormented my entire being as a new wave of shame took over me as I realized what I’d just done again.What my lack of resilience and my unruly hormones had caused.I couldn't believe that I’d allowed Ethan touch me in more intimate ways than Alpha Arnold ever did, I couldn't believe that I’d let him turn me into a moaning and whimpering mess mere minutes after I was trying my hardest to resist him, I felt like everything that’d just unfolded from the second he subdued me sexually to the moment he left my chambers was an out of body experience.There's no way I was the one who’d gone through all of that, it was terribly chaotic and I could swear that my head was splitting in two as I tried to make sense of it all.Wasn’t it horrible enough that I’d fallen into Ethan’s seductive web again? Did the moon goddess have to worsen matters by allowing Alpha Arnold walk in on us at the worst possible moment? Why couldn't it have been anyone else?Asides the overwhelming sham
