CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS Ten: The Wicked Vixen
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 11:: Is She Dead?
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 12: A Luna’s Treatment
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 13: A Strange Pull
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 14:A Strange Encounter
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 15: No Harm Must Come To Her.
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
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 16: First Date and First Confession
Layla’s POVMy first date.I’d have my first date with a man that cherished the ground I walked on like I was an actual goddess like he’d said countless times. It made me giddy and so excited that Alpha Arnold wanted to take me on a date. I mean, he hadn’t spelled it out completely, but I’d known that the special place he had in mind, was most likely a place where we’d both enjoy our time together.And what did time together like that translate as? A date!The minute he’d shut the door behind him after he’d walked me back to my room, all I could think of was how amazing the evening of the next day would be with him. He was already so unbelievably sweet, kind, and patient with me, so I knew that he’d surpass my expectations with whatever he’d planned for us.Even while I freshened up for the night’s rest, my mind wandered to thoughts of how much I’d loved his rapport with the commoners and traders alike. It was nothing short of amazing to witness how kind and brilliant he was as a ruler
CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO ALPHA RIVALS 17: First Kiss
Arnold’s POVNature was Layla’s second home, and I’d known that because of the times when I’d watched her from afar play with plants and animals before we met officially. With that knowledge, I was certain that she’d have an amazing time if I brought her to one of the most beautiful lakes in all of Crescent Valley, and I was content that she loved it even more than I’d predicted she would.How could she be so excited by a butterfly’s perch? She was unbelievably adorable and precious in every single way one could imagine. I didn't think that a woman could ever have me in a choke hold as strong as the one she had me in, but it wasn't one I ever wanted to escape from because of how blissful it felt.Layla radiated a certain kind of peace that a person could only experience once in a lifetime, but in planned to keep it for the rest of our lives that we’d spend together. I was unsure how she could be so enchantingly beautiful and still have the humility of a child with the heart of an angel
