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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 32: Peace from her
Arnold’s POV My walk back to my chambers was infuriating and unsettling because of how torn I’d been on how to feel. Was I supposed to be pissed at how my father had spoken to me like a fucking child? Or was I supposed to be uneasy because of the weight of uncovering the rogue killers that’d been placed on my shoulders? With how incredibly enraged I felt, I’d been alternating between both of their heavy emotions and there was no possible outlet in sight. As soon as I reached the doors of my chambers, I threw them open so angrily that they slammed as though they’d shake the foundation beneath them. I wanted to take out my frustration one way or the other before it ruined me, I felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at someone or punch something but I knew that it’d only increase my frustration instead of relax me so I thought against succumbing to either of those urges. Instead, I took a couple of uneven breaths and took a seat on my bed in a bid to calm myself before my anger and un
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 33: Hera’s Venom
Hera’s POV The shivers I felt running through my bloodstream were triggered by a feeling of rage and fear that’d piled up after my embarrassing attempt to arouse Alpha Arnold. It was deathly frustrating that the rare opportunity had opened up for me to comfort him without Layla’s nauseating presence putting a dent in my plans and I’d fumbled it completely. All of the fear and rage that now ravaged me mercilessly stemmed from the fact that the bond I’d built with him seemed to be crumbling and there was nothing I could do about it. What’d set me apart from Layla despite his disgusting obsession with her was the fact that I had an unbreakable sexual bond with him, or so I thought, and now I couldn't even manage to get him in the mood. I was well aware of the fact that if Layla somehow took hold of him sexually like I had alongside how smitten he was with her, I’d completely lose him to her. I knew when to tune into my delusional beliefs that I’d have him no matter what, but if he beca
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 34: Ethan’s Wrath
Ethan’s POVMy claws sunk into a fresh victim and they sunk right into his hearts and I clutched his arteries right before I tore his heart out of his chest and felt the marvel of a beating heart coming to a still in my hands.I dumped his lifeless heart on the floor and grabbed the nearest victim by his arm and tore out his limb with the intensity with which I’d pulled him, he screamed horrifically in agony and it fueled my bloodlust even further as I dove in and finished him off by tearing his head off his neck in the flash off an eye to quiet his whines.My eyes scanned the area for the next victim and I spotted him where he’d cowered beside the countless other bodies that I’d ripped to bits, and I smiled in satisfaction at the sight of the mangled bodies before I used my heightened speed to lunge at him and grab him by the neck tightly. I watched him scream as I practically crushed his neck in between my fingers and it sounded like music to my ears.As his neck weakened between my
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 35: Quest To Finish
ETHANThere’d not been much to life that interested me since I’d become ridden with bloodlust, I was used to finding fulfillment in the bloodlust that burnt relentlessly within me and almost nothing else surpassed that feeling.Yet, there were a pair of golden eyes that’d replayed in my memories for over a decade that easily brought me a feeling of immense joy and peace, one that’d been a source of sustenance for me for all the years that I’d been holed up in the wilderness amongst wild beasts and rogues.Even now, my thoughts dwelt on those eyes as I recalled the first time I’d seen in her in the market square almost eleven years ago. She had an angelic beauty about her that I didn't think I’d ever come across before and after her, divinity and gracefulness shone around her as she carried herself happily around the market stalls with the most gorgeous smile on her face.That entrancing smile of hers had been etched in my memory to date even though we barely spent a minute in each othe
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 36: A Romp With The Guard
Hera’s POVBeing near Alpha Arnold was a priority for me more than anything else so I always tried to be present at the palace at all times. However, I couldn't be near him as much as I needed to be because Layla was always in the picture these days, so I needed to take an important trip to ensure that she was out of the picture and I’d be able to be near him as much as I needed to be.I’d asked to be excused from the palace to go on a trip for rare herbs that my spell casting required, and since I was the best spell caster they had, it wasn't a hassle to get approval, the supplies and security I’d need to embark on such a faraway journey.However, my true intention was to visit an old witch who’d be knowledgeable enough to give me a deeper insight on how to craft more potent spells that could be the key to successfully wiping out Layla’s existence.I also knew that since I was embarking on a different trip than what I’d mentioned at the palace, I’d need a trustworthy guard to accompan
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 37: More White Hair
Layla’s POVI’d continued having bizarre flashes where my hair suddenly turned white or a few strands of white hair appeared in the midst of my golden locks. After the last huge scare I’d had when my hair and eyes had transformed briefly, I was more curious than bewildered whenever any odd appearances followed.My newfound ability to be somewhat unbothered by my random transformations was owing to two reasons; if I freaked out and passed out each time I noticed it, I’d send Nadia to her early grave with worry, and if I continued to allow fear to be the foremost emotion I felt whenever I saw it I’d never get to the bottom of why it kept recurring.Even now, I’d planted myself before my dressing mirror and I was leaning so far into it that I could’ve gotten trapped in the mirror if it was one of those magical ones. I was now genuinely curious about why my hair and eye colors were twitching and it’d happened a number of times as I peered into the mirror.It was always a brief change that
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 38: Threatening Him.
Hera’s POVDespite the tedious journey to and from the old witch’s house that I’d just undergone, the only thing on my mind was casting the spell I’d retrieved rather than getting any rest because of how worn out I felt. Nothing mattered to me as much as finally getting rid of Layla and I had no intention of resting until I finally did so.As soon as the palace came into view while we rode on our horses, we took a different turn and headed toward a deserted field. The deserted field was home to an abandoned underground prison that only a few people knew of since it’d been out of use for years and that made it a perfect location to place the curse on Layla without any intruding eyes barging in.The level of the curse’s potency was largely dependent on how close to the intended victim it was cast and that was why we needed to settle somewhere close by before I placed the curse on her. If not, I’d have cast the spell the second I left the old witch’s abode so that I could return to a pala
