Arnold’s POVLayla was sprawled across the bed and she looked absolutely magnificent as her thighs glistened with the wetness from her release, and her gorgeous eyes that’d stared at me with wonder when she came were now shut lazily and her lashes fanned her face as she heaved gently from the thunderous orgasm she’d just enjoyed.Fuck, she was absolutely perfect without a doubt.I watched her for a while as my arousal resurfaced from how unbelievably beautiful she always was, always.I then struggled to pull myself together and rose to my feet so that I could get a bowl of water and a clean soft towel to clean her up like I’d done the last time. After a while, I reemerged from the bathroom with some warm water and I soaked the towel in it before I squeezed and gently placed it in between her thighs.“Mhmm...” She moaned from the warmth and it took everything in me to stop myself from going for another round of burying my face between her legs to drown in her wetness.God! She’d tasted
Layla’s POVThe deeply kneaded attribute of timidity I’d grown up to be accustomed to because of how I’d been sheltered from the rest of the world had posed a huge problem for me in the palace at crescent valley.Since my arrival, the maids had fearlessly degraded my worth and accused me of all manner of unbecoming things right to my face. It’d become a routine at this point, because I’d learned to hold my breathe and struggle to tune out my sense of hearing whenever I passed by a group of maids, because there was always one common word on their lips whenever they referred to me.Whore.It deeply disturbed me that they’d come to such a cruel conclusion and stick to it when none of them had ever bothered to know my origin and the story of how I ended up at the palace. Yet, what was more disturbing was their constant show of hypocrisy whenever Alpha Arnold, Nadia, or Castle were within hearing shot.They’d suddenly go dead quiet with their annoying assumptions that I was some leech that
HERAMy incredibly wet hair and my drenched clothes trickled water on the floor as I paced up and down around the expanse of my room like a mad woman. That's how I fucking looked even, like an insane homeless person who was soaked in water after being pushed to the curb.My rage knew no bounds.I’d practically been huffing and puffing as I moved from one edge of my chambers to the other as my entire body felt like it’d flamed up uncontrollably. I hated that a powerful schemer like me had been reduced to suffering from countless failures no matter what intricate plan I’d suffered to dig up to ensure that I succeeded.Each time, Layla won.The fucking measly whore was always one step ahead of me and it burnt me in the pit of my stomach to think that I might actually not succeed in getting rid of her before her marriage to Alpha Arnold in the next few months.If it ever got to that, I’d fucking obliterate her ass on the altar by choking her to death! I’d much rather die or be exiled than
Hera’s POV“Aw!” She exclaimed and winced in pain when she’d finally gotten over the shock that’d come over her when she’d been awoken by the hard slap I’d given her.I walked around her like a hawk hovering around its prey as I simply enjoyed the fact that I’d subdued her and for once I’d tipped the scale in my favor such that I was the one in absolute control of the situation.Knowing that she’d managed to somehow emerge victorious no matter how many potent spells I’d cast on her, it’d felt incredibly amazing to have her at my mercy this once. I walked over and faced her again as I enjoyed the immense look of fear she had in her eyes even though I’d barely gotten started with her.“I'm going to ask you this just once, and you better comply so that we can do it the easy way, else I’ll have no other choice but to force it out of you,” I leaned toward her with an intimidating look and I could see her arms shivering as I spoke.“Reveal your true identity now! And don't you dare pretend t
Layla’s POVThe sounds of the loudly chirping beds that I’d usually left seeds for at my window were the first sounds I’d heard as I slowly became conscious of the fact that morning and come. But I didn't feel as relaxed as I normally did whenever the bird chirps lured me out of my slumber every morning.Instead, I’d woken up as though a jolt of electricity had pulsed through my entire body.Sweat trickled down my forehead as I felt an odd sensation in the pit of my stomach that I had no means of explaining. I was extremely confused as to why I’d felt so uneasy at such early hours of the morning when I’d had an uneventful night.I racked my mind over and over as I struggled to make sense of the discombobulated state I’d woken up in. Everything around me had felt out of place and my heart thumped unusually within me like I’d undergone a demanding task the night before, something that was a complete mystery to me since I’d even gotten an early night because of how bored I’d been in the e
Hera’s POVMy reflection stared back at me and I almost punched the mirror out of frustration from how savvy and sleep-deprived my eyes had appeared. I had dark circles and eye bags showing evidently around my eyes despite how much makeup I’d dabbed around them in an attempt to conceal them.It was all Layla’s fault.She and her irritating antics had been the origin of all of my problems of late and what’d happened the night before had only significantly intensified my hatred for her such that it now had no bounds. I’d been wide awake all night as I wondered how much more I’d have to take on before I was finally rid of her for good.The time freeze that Layla had orchestrated without knowing had left every bone in my body feeling like jelly even after it’d passed. The minute I could finally move, I’d almost jumped for joy but I knew that I needed to get Layla out of my sight because I’d had enough of her mysterious bullshit to last me a long while, so I simply ordered Aaron to pick her
ETHANI could put all my faith in them and they’d multiply it in a thousand folds, and their ability to do so was one of the very few things I had complete trust in. As I watched them huff and puff with every stance they took as they trained tirelessly, I knew that they’d ensure that my mission was seamless and successful by all means.I’d never been more certain of anything than I was of their ability.Their precise blows, their firm strikes, and their undeniable agility were proof of the fact that they’d be undefeated in a battle no matter who they were up against. I’d been heavily impressed at how extremely skilled they’d become since they were introduced to heavy and intense training sessions, even their wolves heightened senses were with reckoning with because of how much it’d improved over time.With pride, I placed my hands behind me and I paced between two huge trees as I nodded in approval at their dedication and resilience despite having been at it for several hours where the
Arnold’s POV“Home sweet home” I exclaimed and sucked in a deep breath of relief as I finally arrived at the doors of my chambers.I pushed the doors open and walked in with flair as a cloud of fulfillment settled over me because of how successful the emergency trip I’d embarked on had turned out to be. I’d had little to no hope that the meeting would yield much results because it’d been set up on such short notice and we didn't have much history with the kingdom it concerned.Yet, it’d worked out amazingly, and it’d yielded much more success than I’d thought it would. The treaty I’d signed had opened a doorway for more talks on cooperative projects that would certainly make both our kingdoms worth reckoning with, and I was incredibly happy that I’d finally bagged a couple of wins despite the chaos in Crescent Valley that’d weighed down on me for weeks before the meeting.I’d asked my guards that’d gone ahead of me to ensure that my bath was ready and a fresh set of clothes were put ou
