LAYLAI'd been to very few places all my life and the woods were my favorite place in the world, so I was convinced that nothing was prettier than the nature I basked in whenever I was in the woods closest to my home. But today, I'd been proven absolutely wrong by the awe that enveloped my entire body when I set eyes on the beauty beyond Crescent Valley's gates as they opened.Without regard for how shy I'd been feeling earlier, I poked my head out of the Carriage's window and my eyes widened in appreciation of the land that might become my new home. I equally couldn't conceal the smile that crawled up to my face when I saw cute little bunnies hopping in the flowery bushes that lined the path we were riding on.Next, my eyes wandered to how the buildings were lined up asymmetrically but it somehow looked perfect, they were the most beautiful and intentional lineup of buildings I'd ever seen, especially because they also were adorned with beautiful flowers and door ornaments that looked
ARNOLDThe mere fact that I’d successfully brought Layla to Crescent Valley made my day a million times brighter than usual while I worked on a few documents that needed my approval. I simply couldn't help but bask in the possibility that she’d soon come of age and I could completely claim her as my Luna.I wouldn’t have cared if I had to wait years before I could get married to Layla, any man who’d set his eyes on her enthralling beauty would be willing to wait a lifetime for her, and I wasn't any different because I could swear by the moon goddess and any worthy deity that Layla was the most beautiful girl to ever walk this earth.I just so happened to have been favored by the moon goddess to find her first, and with everything that happened leading up to her being brought to my home, I knew that we’d definitely been destined to find one another and we were soulmates somehow.“I can't believe we really have her in our home” Loki pranced within me and I broke into a chuckle as my exci
LAYLAI’d lived a peaceful and satisfactory life with my aunt and uncle, and even though they’d hidden me from everyone else, they showered me with affection and care which made living with them bearable despite being cut off from the outside world.However, what I’d never had a taste of was affection as pure and unconditional as what Alpha Arnold had shown me in the last three days since I’d settled in at the palace in Crescent Valley. I’d been love bombed in ways I didn't know were possible by him, and despite it being a foreign experience, it was one I now welcomed heartily.If I’d ever had a dream of being royalty and being treated as such, my life right now would definitely surpass it. I wondered how a man could pay as much attention to me as Alpha Arnold has done, he’d made sure that I knew I was a priority he’d never neglect despite his busy schedule.He made sure to check up on me every day, he made time for me despite the royal duties that required his time more than I did. He
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
