CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 96: Love or Indebtness?
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

Ethan’s POVMy mate’s bun loosened and her hair bounced in my face as we rode toward the hill I was taking her to, and in that moment I realized that I didn't know her name, all my mind knew of when I saw her or thought of her was “mate”.Yet as I strangely grew fond of her, I wanted to know her as a person, not just as a she-wolf that was fated to be my mate, and it was an odd sensation.“We’re here at last” I announced and brought the horse to a halt as we reached the foot of the largest hill in all of Wandercoast.I jumped off the horse and stretched out my hand to help her get off too.“Should I be worried?” She asked as she took my hand and stepped down.“That depends, about what?” My suspicious response was met with a small frown.My face contorted in confusion at first on seeing that until I realized that she was practically spinning around to take in the deserted area we were in. The place was filled with trees, mountains and there was no one in sight even while we rode up to

Layla’s POVThe impossible had happened.I’d been in Ethan’s company and I didn't feel the urge to drag my hair out from its roots in frustration at any point. It felt unreal to me, but I couldn't deny that I’d actually enjoyed his company for the first time ever especially when I could've sworn that it’d never happen.But I shouldn't have thought so, since so many things had been happening that I thought were impossible of late.If I was already intrigued by him before, I was far more intrigued after the time we’d just spent together, and since nothing inappropriate happened, I didn't hate myself for enjoying our time spent on nature since I was naturally a sworn lover of nature and it was bound to stir up that much excitement within me.We were on our way back to the palace and the wind was caught in my hair as we rode, his hard rock chest was pressed against my back and I allowed myself lean into him slightly even though I didn't need the extra support, I was also equally resisting

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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 141: Ordained by the moon goddess
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
