CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 54: The King’s Ball
Layla’s POVI’d never been to a ball in all my life and so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I’d arrived at the ball. Still, to my surprise I’d began to enjoy it the minute I took my seat and saw that there was a dance performance in action. It’d been a wonderful sight to see everyone happy and full of jolly as the dance group performed and I immediately got into the same joyous mood as everyone else.Bringing Nadia with me as my companion was undoubtedly the best decision I’d made that night, because her contagious laughter and her willingness to try every meal in sight had made it so much more fun. She’d cajoled me to taste anything that she ate and as long as she’d vetted it as good enough for me, I believed her and tried it out as well.None of the meals we’d shared had disappointed me, and I was glad that she’d encouraged me to give them a shot despite how uncertain I was about them because they’d seemed awfully foreign to me. Nadia’s one of a kind ability to scrutinize the most u
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 55: The King’s Insanity
Arnold’s POVI’d been burdened with the responsibility of taking my father back to his chambers even though I was fucking furious and beyond confused that he’d just tried to kill the woman I was helplessly in love with. My duty as an Alpha required me to be report first to family, before any other thing so I had no choice but to stay by my father’s side.Even now, while I we were in his chambers and both struggling to subdue the wreck of emotions that plagued us, my mind replayed what’d happened and how everything had fucked with my mind up until this very moment.I’d never forget tonight, and it's for all the wrong reasons.The entire morbid scene that broke out between My father and Layla marked the abrupt end of a once joyful ball that I’d thought would finally help everyone relax and catch a break from the chaotic month we’d recorded. But I couldn't have been more wrong, instead, it seemed to have kicked off a fresh start of chaotic experiences from the look of things.And Layla, I
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 56: She’s Innocent
Arnold’s POVThoughts of Layla’s wellbeing had dominated my mind even while I was with my father, so the minute I got a chance to get away from him, my heart instinctively led me toward Layla’s chambers as did my wolf’s incessant whining about his need to confirm that she wasn't dealing with the aftershock of my father’s attack poorly.In a few determined long strides, I’d arrived at her chambers and I knocked softly and waited for a response. After a few minutes without getting a response from her, I’d gotten worried and let myself into her room without thinking twice.However, the minute I staggered into the room, I halted my steps as I heard her snoring lightly and saw that she was covered in her duvet and fast asleep. I let out a heavy sigh of relief just before I gently shut the doors behind me such that I wouldn't startle her with the sound or cause her to stir in her sleep.I made my way toward her bed and my eyes never left her gorgeous face until I’d finally reached her. I car
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 57: Hera’s scheme
Hera’s POVIn my grand scheme of plans, I’d only organized the ball so that it’d serve as a way to pacify Alpha Arnold while I sought a means to get back into his good graces and share each other’s bodies in sexual bliss as we used to. Despite how much Layla dominated my thoughts often, I’d never intended that she’d be the center of focus at some point during the ball.But of course, I’d absolutely enjoyed how things played out toward the very end.I’d observed how everything turned into a burst for Layla just because her dancing style had provoked King Aragon. He’d been sick for years and we’d never heard him roar like that in public but Layla had provoked him to do within her first few months in the palace and I knee that there wasn’t anything ordinary about it.Many people might not have noticed, but with how closely I’d taken note of everything from the minute he’d began walking toward her, I was able to spot the conviction and fear in his eyes while he addressed her. It was one th
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 58: Putting Him Under A Spell
Hera’s POVAnother day, another reason to fuel my blazing hatred for Layla.Alpha Arnold’s reaction to what I’d rightfully pointed out concerning Layla being a witch dug deeper into the endless pit of grudges I held against her. I was so enraged that I felt underneath feet burning with discomfort with the unusually long strides I’d been taking and how I kept stomping my feet loudly against the floor in frustration.With the anger and humiliation I felt from being told I was jealous of a flimsy teenage girl, I knew that I’d need to prove to Alpha Arnold that I’d been right all along to gain back the respect and reverence he once had for me.I needed answers to all the questions I’d been asking myself about her true identity that seemed to have no answers. And after the way King Aragon had flared up at her, I was dead certain that the only place I could find those answers was from him so I’d set out for his chambers the very second I’d left Alpha Arnold’s.In no time, I’d arrived at the
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 59: Was last night real?
Layla’s POVAs my eyes adjusted to the morning light that’d filtered into my room, I immediately shut them back as a sharp pain my head caused me to wince slightly from the unexpected impact. I could swear that I’d been asleep for much longer than I actually did, so I would’ve expected that I’d wake up feeling much more refreshed than usual instead of being hit with a banging headache.Again, I tried to open my eyes but my hands flew to support my head as I felt the earlier pain spread across my entire head and force me to wince in pain louder this time around. As soon as I did, I heard Nadia stirring where she was asleep on the floor and she’d suddenly sat up and she rubbed her eyes sleepily before she fully faced me.“Was that you? Or was I imagining things in my sleep?” She asked while she took in my posture where my hands were still resting on my head.“My head. It hurts so much Nads” I told her in a strained voice as I massaged my temples in a bid to soothe it.“Give me a minute,
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 60: Who am I?
Layla’s POVIn a heartbeat, Nadia had rushed to my side and she quickly gathered me into her arms and rocked me silently in a bid to calm me. I was certain that she could feel how my entire body was trembling and my body temperature had risen up a fee notches because of how loudly I’d screamed.My head that’d calmed down earlier had also resumed it’d banging, but as much as I wanted to close my eyes to soothe the aches, I was scared that I’d be assaulted by another unwanted vision of the terrifying she-wolves I’d just seen in an odd gathering.“It's fine Layla, you're fine” Nadia patted my hair as she held my head against bee chest like a protective mother hen.I dragged in a deep breath at how calming her words were alongside her motherly gestures.“I'm sure it's just your has headache, you must’ve slept poorly at night,” She assured me as she rubbed my back tenderly.Oh, but I knew it’d had nothing to do with my headache but it wouldn't help matters if I shared the horrific sight I’d
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 61: Kill her for me
Hera’s POVWith the unwilling help from King Aragon’s knowledge packed confession, I’d finally gotten all the answers to the questions about Layla that’d plagued me for weeks on end. I was fully aware of her origin and the endless lengths of her potential, but I was primarily content that I’d crossed the milestone of wondering what could possibly kill her.The knowledge that she was a witch from the primordials pack was enough to give me insight on how best to get rid of her, for good this time around.Layla had been manifesting gifts that were extremely powerful even at their early stages and I was well aware that I had to kill her before she realized her strengths and reached her true potential. I was truly lucky that she’d been brought in when her wolf was weak because she hadn’t marked her 18th birthday and her wolf needed to mature fully to unlock her full potential.As egoistic as I could be, I was fully aware that I wouldn't stand a chance against her if she learnt to properly w
