LAYLAI felt my entire body freeze the moment the words had left her lips, mostly because since I'd led a quiet life I was a stranger to adversary and criticism but it seemed to be happening to me in full force and I didn't have a chance to process most of it.But before I'd had time to dwell any further on what she'd just rudely spat out, Alpha Arnold turned to face her sharply with a frown and a look of disbelief on his face as he did."Don't you ever address Layla that way, especially since I invited her to dine with me this evening and it's of no concern to you." He issued out a stern warning with his index finger pointed at her, but she barely flinched despite that."She's always interrupting our time together, unannounced and I blurted that out in surprise, nothing else." She rushed out a silly explanation for her actions in a tone that showed pure nonchalance rather than sincerity."She's in no way doing do, eat your food, Hera." He said flatly but she didn't seem to budge wt th
Arnold's POVHera's head rolled back as she moaned in pleasure and my fingers pulled at her hair firmly. I watched how her waist moved to match my strokes and I was in awe of how her body synced with mine whenever we fucked."Fuck" I breathed as she tightened around my dick as she came undone for the umpteenth time."You liked that, yeah?" She batted her eyelashes at me sweetly."Don't come until I say you can," I ordered her and slapped her ass instead, and the next second I'd resumed fucking her.Her ass clapped against my pelvis and I groaned at how fucking hot it sounded while my eyes focused on the gorgeous wolf tattoo that spread across her waist while its paws rested on her ass slightly.I turned her face roughly to face me while I fucked her from behind and she moaned loudly as my fingers found her throat and covered it, choking her. I felt my dick pulsate inside her walls as I watched her fucking hot tits bounce and I quickened my strokes so they'd bounce even more, much to my
HERAIf Arnold thought I'd sit still and watch him pick that young girl over me just because she had an untamed beauty, then he was grossly wrong.I didn't come this far, labored this much, hid my disgust, and allowed my body to be used just to be tossed aside like an old hag just because of a young pretty girl.I laid awake which was the usual since Arnold brought that useless girl to the castle, my mind drifted off toward the reason for my ill countenance again; Arnold’s wildly unbelievable intentions of kicking me to the curb.I’d thought I knew everything about Arnold since I’d been observing him for years without end, but apparently, I wasn't privy to the fact that the young prince and Alpha was also a bloody fool.Why? You’d wonder.No man in his right senses would assume that woman who has served him as diligently as I have would back down while he falls helplessly for a young girl’s beauty and leaves me lurking in the shadows.But I couldn't blame his naivety when it came to th
Hera’s POVMy first-morning stretch was as satisfying as a honey badger’s glee when it ran into a fresh bee hive rich in honey and larvae. A smile spread across my face as I dropped my hands to my sides after having stretched them, and I yawned softly as my sleep-filled eyes brightened and adjusted to the sunlight that had filtered into the room.I dragged in a long breath and let it out as relief flooded my entire body, I just knew that I was going to have a fucking amazing day. I moved around the bed in contentment and ruffled my sheets as I did, but in the good mood I’d awoken in, the sounds of ruffled sheets were suddenly a pleasant and welcome noise.Why was I in such a great mood? One might wonder. I’d just gotten rid of my arch nemesis, the only person that stood between me and the throne I’d coveted for years since I started serving in the palace at Crescent Valley. No woman had ever made me feel as threatened and unsettled as Layla, mostly due to how much Alpha Arnold was smit
Arnold’s POVLayla’s feet drummed the floor for the millionth time since we’d arrived in the dining hall for breakfast and I wondered what had gotten her so worked up. She’d been absentmindedly picking at the fruit on her plate too and I couldn't figure out what any of that was about, but it bothered me greatly.Could it be that I’d made the transition from letting her enjoy her meals in her room to making her seat in the dining hall with me too fast? Wasn't she comfortable enough with being around me yet? Did she have complaints about her stay in the palace she didn't trust me enough to share them with?Several questions flooded my mind as to why Layla was jittery and seemingly nervous, but I had no idea which of those questions applied to how she was feeling, and neither did I have a tangible answer to them. So, I decided that rather than dwelling aimlessly on the thoughts I’d been entertaining, it would be much better to hear directly from the horse’s mouth.“Layla, darling” I calle
Layla’s POVNadia always knew what best suited me, and each time I entrusted her with dressing me up, she left me in a wonderful daze at what she’d put together. Even now, she had dressed me up in a simple flowery flowing dress, it had tiny intricate details that most people would miss but I looked like an absolute dream dressed in its lovely fabric.Despite how gorgeous I was certain I looked, as Nadia fixed my hair, my nerves began to spiral as I thought of the evening ahead. I highly doubted that I’d be any good with the people he seemed to adore so much, I’d grown up being used to serenity and solitude so it was tough to come to terms with being in the public eye all of a sudden.I wasn't sure how I’d fair while being around so many unfamiliar faces and I was almost certain that they wouldn't even like me as their future Luna especially since I was a stranger. I could barely focus on Nadia’s usual chattering as she twirled my hair into a messy bun because my mind had dwelt on how t
Layla's POVThe back door of the stall creaked slowly and my nerves took an uncomfortable dip as it did, I wasn't sure what I'd find behind the door, but I'd hoped that it wouldn't cause me any harm since I'd defied my better judgment to answer to the call of a strange presence that I knew absolutely nothing of.For dramatic effect, I'd even shut my eyes tightly while I opened the back door to keep some mystery alive, especially with the weird creaking sound the door had kept on making. When I'd finally gotten the for wide open, I dragged in a deep and long breath and I opened my eyes as I let it out.However, I was met with an open swampy field that showed a trail to a thick forest, unlike the type I was used to roaming in while I grew up. It was a thick dark forest that looked as though it housed the most dangerous creatures and the path that led into it looked muddy and I could see some paw prints that indicated that an animal had recently run through the path and into or out of the
Arnold’s POVLayla’s safety was my number one priority and I’d never be level headed with any one that jeopardized her safety in the slightest ways. I didn't give a shit that she was safe and sound when I’d found her because if I’d gotten to her even a second later, I wasn’t sure how differently things would’ve played out.Irrationality wasn’t a trait that could be ascribed to my leadership patterns or qualities, but when it came to Layla, I didn't care if I had to seem or sound irrational while I defended her, especially if it meant that she might’ve been in harm’s way and no one was there to protect her.It terrified me more that I was willing to let on that she might’ve actually come in contact with a rogue wolf and she’d been naively trying to approach them with no idea what rouge wolves were capable of unleashing on someone whose wolf hadn't matured like hers.Worst of all, I knew fully well that other men weren't blind to the immeasurable and other worldly beauty that Layla posse
