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
Arnold’s POVEveryone had seen it.They’d seen how Ethan threw me out of the room like I weighed nothing compared to him, they’d seen how beaten up and scarred my wolf was, they’d heard all the commotion in Layla’s room and they must’ve known that I was on the receiving end of most of the blows that were thrown.I practically sprinted to my room without shifting because I couldn't bear to walk in my wounded human form after what they’d overheard, I couldn't be the reason why they’d believe that I was too weak to reclaim crescent valley from Ethan and they’d be stuck under his tyranny.So I ran until I slipped into my room and slammed the door shut behind me so loudly that the hinges shook violently from the effect. Immediately I was inside, I shifted and paced up and down with rage burning through my veins like never before.“Fucking Ethan, that vile son of a bitch!” I cleared everything off my dressing table in a fit of anger and watched them shatter all over the place yet it did not
Ethan’s POVAn actual day had gone by, yet it still mattered.I was never one to care about people's feelings or opinions of me no matter how truthful they were being, I was somehow one of the rare people who had an iron clad shield from emotions and I never gave a shit about anything.But for the first time in my life, It mattered to me what someone thought of me.It mattered so much that all I could see whenever I closed my eyes were my mate’s haunted and hateful stare when she ordered me to leave her chambers by threatening to hurt herself. She’d sincerely admitted that she’d rather hurt herself than by touched by me, she’d implied that I disgusted her so much that she’d rather choose death.For a person who’d lived a curse that came with an unquenchable hunger for blood, I was used to being stared at like a monster and being called one, or even treated like a beast. They’d say the most vile things to me and it would bounce off me without meaning anything.However, this time around
Layla’s POVA day had gone by since the horrific event where Alpha Arnold had walked in on me being pleasured by Ethan and the weight on my heart hadn’t gotten any easier to carry since then. I’d just had a long bath to calm my nerves because I’d given myself a long pep talk earlier to go and find Alpha Arnold since he’d made himself scarce ever since.I knew that he was staying away from me on purpose because I hadn't seen him at any meal even though I made it a point to go to the dining hall in hopes that I’d bump into him. I knew that he needed time to come terms with what he’d seen but I was also feeling extremely antsy and guilty about how I’d betrayed him and caused him humiliation.So I knew I had to go find him and smooth things out.I wore the first little white dress that caught my eye the minute I’d opened my closet, I knew he loved me in white and I needed to be as perfect as was humanly possible to get back on his good side. And I didn't want to lose him, especially since
Ethan’s POVThe seeds of the unsettling feelings my mate had planted within me still had their roots deeply sunken into into my mind so I was on a stroll around the palace to clear my head instead of channeling my feelings toward something violent like I would have usually done.I’d not walked as much as I’d have loved to before my wolf started feeling agitated within me, it felt like he was kicking within me and something was strongly bothering him.From those telling signs, I figured out that it must be the mate bond that’s causing him to act that way and I knew that I had to find her quickly else he wouldn't calm down. I could equally tell that it meant that my mate was in distress for some reason my wolf wanted to ease her pain.At first, I wanted to shrug it off and ignore my wolf because of how awfully our last meeting had ended, but the bond was also pulling me toward her like a magnetic force field while my wolf made things harder by not tuning down his agitation.After a whil
Layla’s POV“No.” I stretched to my full height to face him properly.“You can’t just kill Arnold because that’s the only way you know how to deal with opposition” My chest heaved up and down as I challenged him angrily.Yet despite the anger that was evident in my tone and my appearance, he looked as determined as he did when he first threatened to kill Arnold.“I can when he’s making you cry” He said in an equally pissed off tone.On seeing that, I realized that I needed to sound far more believable if I wanted to save Arnold’s life.“Besides, he wasn’t the one that made me cry as I've told you already” I swallowed as I lied with a bold face.He snorted in disbelief.“If anything, you're the cause of my tears, you and all the things you've imposed on me from the minute our paths crossed” I did a full 360 and landed back on him, because he was truly the problem.“That’s barely believable, but I commend your effort to make this all about me” He said in a mocking tone and his eyes neve
