Hera’s POVAt every waking moment, the one thing I was focused on was how soon Layla would begin to show signs of her insanity. Normally, the curse of insanity was meant to gradually creep in until it drove its victim to complete madness so I hadn't lost faith yet even though a few days had gone by and Layla hadn't begun manifesting the signs of running mad yet.From my experience with her, I knew that for some odd reason, she was a tougher one to crack than any other adversary I’d ever been up against so I decided to be patient as I waited for the curse to take full effect on her. Otherwise, I’d be the one who’d end up driving myself mad with my anxiousness as to whether or not the curse would finally kick in.As much as I hated to be in Layla’s presence or anywhere near her, I’d found myself being overly interested in her day-to-day routines since I’d returned back from my trip. I always wanted to know where she’d be at every given time because I hoped desperately that I’d catch her

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

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

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

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
