CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 24: Failed Spell
Hera’s POV The moon goddess had granted me another wonderful morning like that beginning of the one where I’d expected Layla to have passed. However, this time my confidence in the fact that she’d died overnight had tripled and I had absolutely no doubts that my spells could possibly fail me. This time around, I woke up humming a melody that’d never failed to lift my spirits instantly as I sat up in bed. As usual, the streams of sunlight from my window that poured into my room were signs of my final victory over Layla’s manipulative ass. A smile covered my face as I stretched contentedly from the amazing sleep I’d enjoyed the night before. Every inch of my body felt amazing and I was certain that at the moment Layla’s body must’ve succumbed to my spell such that she’d be lying lifeless in her bed. I’d made sure that the spell I incanted last night was one with a burning sensation, one that worked by burning her uncontrollably on the inside until all her organs became unresponsive.
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 25: Posessed
I’d never lost control of my body as quickly as I did when Layla’s hair and eyes became an unrecognizable color right before my very eyes. I wanted to get as far away from her as I possibly could, so on instinct, I staggered backward and tried to find anything that I could possibly support my weight with but to no avail. The shock that’d overwhelmed me at first still had a strong hold on every nerve in my body and as I staggered backward without anything to fall back on, I landed on the cold hard floor with my ass and back taking the toughest impacts of the fall I’d suffered. Somehow, I couldn't even focus on the pain I felt because of how badly I wanted to believe that my eyes had been deceiving me. But since there was no evidence to support that, I soon went into full shock and became transfixed in the spot where I’d landed. And just then, my eyes found her again and I noticed how her eyes changed back to their regular brown and her hair had switched from the piercing white to her
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 26: Bullied by the Maids
Layla’s POV Nadia had taken her sweet time to explain how everything had played out, from how she’d frantically tried to wake me up to how Hera had suddenly appeared and voluntarily checked my vitals a while before I suddenly woke up. She made sure to add dramatics and extreme visuals as she recounted the experience and ultimately I just felt genuinely apologetic that I’d unintentionally caused her to worry so much. “I thought I’d lose my mind trying to wake you up, I was this close,” She held up her index finger and thumb so close that they were almost touching to demonstrate what she meant. “....to wailing and calling on all the sorcerers and spell casters to come and help wake you up” She picked up my hand and rubbed my wrist affectionately. After a while, I noticed that she’d been carefully studying my wrist instead of just harmlessly rubbing it like she was doing earlier, and I knew exactly why she was doing so. “Nads, are you trying to check my pulse right now?” I asked her
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 27: Around The Palace
Layla’s POV They were doing it stealthily, but I was convinced that they’d been referring to me with the cause comments they kept making. I was well aware of that fact because they made it a point to glance in my direction every now and then while they referred to a whore whose only desire was to sleep her way to the top of the palace. I couldn't wrap my head around how most of the workers in the palace seemed to hate me without knowing anything about me, why did they prefer to conceive ill thoughts about me and my intentions in the palace when I was probably the least harmless person they’d ever come across? It absolutely baffled me. “Who knows? Maybe she also got here by seducing you know who” A maid said and the others nodded in agreement, and we probably all knew that they’d been referring to Alpha Arnold. At this point, since the ground had refused to swallow me, I just wanted to get away from them badly but I couldn't will my legs to carry me away for some odd reason. My anxi
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 28: Melodious sounds
ARNOLDA peace that surpassed human comprehension was what I felt whenever I was inches near Layla, and even in the horrific mess I was entangled in figuring out at the moment, being in her presence still managed to bring me an unimaginable amount of peace and quiet.Even my wolf was incredibly at peace with her, and it was the best feeling ever because he was so tough to tame when he was uneasy but her presence did it in the snap of fingers.She might've thought that I was exaggerating by saying that her presence had calmed me, but I sincerely wasn't. Even when I wasn't in turmoil as I was a few moments ago, her company was the most refreshing thing ever, and now that I was in a fix, her presence served as a form of revitalizing therapy.Yet, the one thing that still weighed on me was the fact that the family that’d died by the hands of the monster was that of the child and mother that she’d so beautifully bonded with when we went on the last charity run.I didn't think that I could e
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 29: Scared out of her Mind
Layla’s POVForty-eight hours and counting, and I still couldn't think of anything other than the evening of unmatched ecstasy that I’d enjoyed with Alpha Arnold. It was almost as though his hands were magical the second they hit my skin, I thought I’d be antsy but he found a way to relax me and give me a mind-blowing experience.Ugh, his magical fingers.I had no idea that a person’s fingers could leave me in such a pleasurable daze as he did, and I loved how affectionate and adoring he was the entire time. Before the experience I’d shared with him, I had no idea how arousal felt like but he’d managed to stir up parts of me that I didn't think existed.Yet, it bothered me a tad bit that I hadn't been able to get a hold of him since that evening, but I was fully aware of the fact that he’d been busy with affairs of the court because he never failed to send Castle with news of his tight schedules to me. It was really beautiful how he remained so mindful of my feelings and intentional wi
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 30: A Stranger in the Mirror
Layla’s POVChills broke out on my body as I landed on the floor and I felt goosebumps as my eyes widened in shock from what I just saw.That wasn't...That couldn't...But it was... I was still staring right at the mirror and the demon I didn't understand was staring back at me, in my shape, in my position, as me.But that wasn't me. That couldn't be me. A loud shriek escaped from my mouth again.“Oh, my God! Layla?!” Nadia’s scream resounded in the entire room.The very second I fell to the ground, I also heard Nadia’s rushed footsteps as she dropped everything she’d been doing and ran over to my side quickly. She sat beside me on the floor and she began to fan my face with a piece of paper frantically.Nadia ran her hands around my body as she checked my pulse, checked if I had a high temperature, and checked if my heartbeat was stable. But none of that had caused me to collapse, yet I could barely move as she examined me with worry evident in her eyes.I could barely even function
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 31: he Council of Elders
Arnold’s POV The elders and members of the court were all finally seated in the throne room for an emergency meeting and it was time to kick off the discourse that’d led to it being organized; the rogue killings that’d spread all over town for the last few days. Everyone was wearing sour and concerned expressions as though it’d been the theme of the day, but it was understandable because some persons in attendance had families that’d been affected by the killings and it was a sore topic for everyone. The gravity of the matter was huge enough to have brought my ailing father out of his chambers just so that he could also be in attendance, and usually, his presence didn't constitute much help because of how our opinions always clashed, but at this point, it didn't matter much to me because I desperately needed all the support I could get to finally mark the rogue killings as a thing of the past. The meeting finally kicked off when the royal court’s report was brought in on a scroll b
