Mateo was mad with rage.He completely forgot all about the girls he'd kept for his own enjoyment tonight.It felt like at the absence of Nina, everything just became chaotic.And it was so.He lost direction of everything and could only shout and bark different orders to the guards.Destroying the decorations and palace antiques."Mateo.." Klaus came up beside his angry son "Get a hold of yourself.You don't look good in front of-""I don't care about that!!" he snapped as he banged on the table "I want Nina here and that is all that matters..""If she isn't brought to me,I will destroy this entire kingdom if that's what it takes to find her!""I have a strong feeling she's dead.She dropped to the floor and-"Mateo grabbed his father by the neck,cutting him short."No,she isn't dead.She is alive and I want to see her" he sneered "Don't pester me father,I won't spare you even if you're my father!"He let go the man just then ,causing him to cough violently.At that point in time,the gua
It was the silver haired man.The Keeper of the underworld.Mateo became terrified as he immediately forgot to pick his sword.He got up slowly, his eyes fixed on Zeres.He actually thought it was a dream but the moment he blinked repeatedly and felt the pain after the impact of his pinch,he knew this was real.He began to fidget,beads of sweat forming on his forehead."This isn't a dream neither is it reality,but it's real" the voice of the Keeper echoed.Sending vibrating shivers down Mateo's spine.He might as well,now seen someone whom his powers cannot stand up against."Ze-Zeres what..what is going on" his deep voice laced with fear "I'm.. I'm I dead?"The Keeper's eyes burned throught Mateo's skin."No,but you will be if you don't do what I ask of you"His eyes widened "Ke-keeper""Bear in mind that you have already gone astray from my orders!" Zeres' voice boomed "You killed Nina!"Mateo began to tremble,unable to contain his fear anymore."I..I didn't mean to." he went on his kn
"Your..your Highness!!" one of the chiefs rushed to him "You..you shouldn't kill your father!""Don't lecture me,you fool!" Mateo bellowed as he brought his claws further to his father's neck "I will kill him and I am serious about it!""Tell me where the vault is now!" he demanded.The chiefs trembled in fear.As for King Klaus he suddenly remembered all of Aiden's words.Truly,the Keeper is making his entry!He finally realized how stupid he has been all these while.Considering his desire for power,he had gone ahead and plotted death for his only brother.Then he made it seem like they broke the law.At this juncture,he regretted everything.When his son had mysteriously came back with immense power,he thought all his hard work had paid off.He thought at last Aiden would no longer have the upper hand.But looking at it closely,he had only brought shame and calamity upon his kingdom.He couldn't even control his own son anymore.Everyone and everywhere was in chaos.Everything destroy
They heard noises coming from outside.They all feared it was the guards again,ordered to whip them just like that morning.The dungeon's doors drifted apart,a shadow casted on the ground,then a second shadow.It wasn't easy to decipher but as soon as she and stood in front of his cell,Damon couldn't speakHe was dumbstruck.Totally surprised.Kiyiya used the keys she had taken from the dead guard and managed to unlock the cell.Damon threw his arms around her the moment the cage flew open"Are..are you okay? Did...did he hurt you?" he asked so quickly and then pulled her into another tight embrace.While they were buried in their love and affection for each other,Raven continued to search for Aiden.She had long since crossed by his cell,why? Considering his battered appearance she didn't think it would be him.By the time she had crossed past ten cells,she was forced to run back to Kiyiya."Where's Aiden?" she requested.At that, Damon's earlier excitement vanished.Kiyiya noticed thi
"Ugh!" she struggled to untie herself "Who's here?! Let me out!"But no one came."Show your fucking self!!"A door was pulled open.Kiyiya subconsciously shivered.She gasped when the lights were suddenly switched on.But this was only the tip of the iceberg.Staring at the man she had ordered to be chained in the dungeon farther away was another shock on its own.He smirked."Hello," he paused and added "Kiyiya"His deep,sultry voice made her shiver.He stepped into the room after shutting the door."What?" he raised a brow "Surprised??"Kiyiya gritted her teeth. "What have you done?!"He grinned,as he stepped farther into the room and grabbed an alcohol,along with a wine glass.He poured into the cup and sipped.He then glanced at her."Don't struggle too much" he adviced "You'll need all of your strength tonight"She bent her neck to look at him.What did he mean by that? He smiled and licked his lips."Forgotten about our deal so quickly??""Pervert!" she yelled "I am no longer inter
Nicolina didn't expect she would find herself in the underworld again.She,at first thought the situation was the same as before.However when she spent up to three days there with no Alicia or Aiden to save her,she realized she might as well have died.It wasn't a nice place.On arrival,the Keeper was nowhere to be found.Nina was moved to the other part of the underworld considering the fact that she had died a hero.There she was re-united with her family again.Tears fell through her eyes when she saw the real Blake.She hugged him so tight that he felt suffocated.She began to apologize as she explained what happened back at the world.Blake wasn't the least annoyed.In fact he was mad about the fact she had died by putting her life at risk.Even now,as they sat together he couldn't help but blame her husband's lack of care and love.But as always,she would support Aiden."He said it from the beginning that he would never love me" Nina came to his rescue "I really wasn't expecting hi
Mateo showed up in the palace the next day much to Klaus' surprise.Infact his expression didn't hide the fact that he hadn't expected him to come back.Mateo walked past him without saying a word,leaving his father in utter dismay and deep thoughts.He hadn't set eyes on Kiyiya and even Raven since noon the day before,and now Mateo was showing up early that morning.What was happening? Could it be that he'd done something to them.Klaus gasped in realization and immediately went after his son.He barged into the office amidst the conversation Mateo was having with the head of the army about the new kingdom they were planning on conquering."Where is my daughter?!" his voice boomed,even he was no longer scared o whatever power Mateo must have obtained.Mateo looked up at his father and then sent the head of army out.After which he leaned on his chair and stretched his legs covered in suit pants on the table."I have been a way for days,father" he sipped his wine "Only to see me after
"What have you done?!" Raven moved to throw a slap on her brother's face but he caught it in the air."Seat down and be quiet!" he ordered sternly,his chest bare and shirtless.He had just finished his round with an already weakened Kiyiya."Don't think I cannot do the same to you!"Raven snatched her arm away "You disgusting dirt!! She is married! How..how could you?!"He grabbed her throat "Not.Another. Word!"He threw her unto the bed but she got up immediately.She couldn't tell where she got the courage from.Earlier she was scared of this man.However,after what he did she didn't think she'd be able to look at him the same way again.The truth actually is that she felt sorry for Kiyiya.The few days they'd moved and worked together had actually brought the two close to each other.She could only imagine the pain that Kiyiya was going through."Mateo!" she stopped him from leaving.As for her,the only way to exercise her anger is ranting."Is all this necessary?! Killing innocent
New Year's night was great.The most wonderful thing ever.Aiden was coronated King and Damon,the right hand man.Nina automatically became Queen and she chose Kiyiya as her assistant.The greatest thing that would ever happen in the whole land.Nina couldn't at the same time, govern her city and stay with her husband here in Kingdom Fye.So she fulfilled destiny by bringing the two opposite worlds together.She destroyed the hatred and enmity and in place created room for love and unity.Everyone lived in harmony and it was just what she wanted.She was most grateful to her father.He was the first one to believe in her.And at a time she hadn't yet realized her powers.She wished there was a way for her to transport both from the underworld to the real world but Alicia said it was no longer possible.For she could only choose one to stay in forever.And she had chosen here.Kingdom Relf.She changed the name into a unitary and combination of the last two letters of Vampire and Werewolf.
Kiyiya gasped loudly,she glared at him."Let go off me!"He held her still against the wall."Why Kiyiya?" he groaned from within "Why did you hide it from me!" he thundered"Please, Damon.." she looked away,tears filling her eyes "I..I don't want to talk about this!""You will have to! How long will you continue to run?? How did you expect me to make amends if I do not know why you want to end things between us!""I don't want you to make amends!" Kiyiya shouted back "Don't bother! Because I am tired..I can't..I can't do this anymore!" He went quiet for a while."What more can I offer you?! All my life with you has been all lies! I was deceitful! A traitor! After all these,do you still expect me to face you,look you in the eye and pretend all is well?""No" she answered her own rhetorical question.She gazed at him."You've done more than enough for me,Damon" she began "But I never deserved a man like you and I'm not ashamed to admit it""So please.. let's end things before the new
A week later.It was the new year.A week ago after the victory of Nicolina and the beginning of her era,everyone had great plans for the preparations of the new year.They wanted it all in one because it was indeed a new year.It signified the end of the tyrant and the commencement of new friendships.The palace was re-constructed beautifully and by Nina's will did enmity between neighbouring kingdoms, ended.In fact she had summoned for all under Kingdom Fye to attend the upcoming ceremony.Kiyiya and Raven had chosen to go over to the farther lands to inform them of the New Year Festival and to invite them to the palace.Considering how far the journey is it wasn't until a week later did they return and Kiyiya did this on purpose.She didn't want to cross path with Damon.Although she was hurting terribly for having to stay away from him but she couldn't bring herself to look at him and love him the same again.She didn't want a relationship where there'd be compromises,even though s
He threw his arms around her without the slightest caution and pulled her into his embrace fiercely.Their skin contact created a warm spark that ushered into their hearts floods of love.It was like the eruption of a volcano.It took seconds before Nina wrapped her hands around his neck.Even though her love for him that was sleeping in the crevice of her heart had awoken by the touch of his hands,she still remained adamant about her decision.She maintained that it was because she loves him.So therefore,she was willing to let him go...to the person he truly loves.He withdrew,holding her face in his palms and rested their foreheads together"I feel so blessed to have you" he whispered."How..how did you manage to get back?" he asked with his hands all over her,gazing at her wounds that were slowly healing.Nicolina smiled."You're looking at the Keeper of the Underworld" It took few seconds for him to understand and when he did,he couldn't help but smile at the warrior she has now
Alicia went between them and seperated them."This isn't the time to fight!" she sniffed "Raven just died,we have no idea where Mateo is and all you can do is fight??!""Fight??" Aiden chuckled "Trust me,when all this is over I will make his life miserable!""Aiden!" Alicia shot a look at him "When did you become this way?!""Since when everything was taken away from me"Kiyiya was all quiet however the moment she saw Damon running towards them she immediately opened her mouth to speak."I think I should go to the palace and..and-" she didn't think of the lie yet when he came and interrupted."Mateo has taken the vault!" he announced."No..he mustn't release it yet!" screamed Alicia as she immediately began to run towards the palace.The rest followed after her.Mateo,on seeing them,created a force field to stop them from coming closerAlicia banged on it."Don't do it,Mateo!! The Keeper will kill us all!!" she screamed.He grinned and then broke the vault into two "Nooo!!" Kiyiya sc
A thin line of blood crept down her lips.He withdrew the sword from her,making more blood to gush out.Raven fell on her knees,her sword dropping from her hand."Goodbye,Princess" Mateo grinned as he raised his sword to cut off her head."Noooo!" Klaus screamed as he ran towards them but it was impossible to get there on time.Just as the sword lowered,it stopped midway in the air.Klaus stopped in his tracks and so did the others.What was happening?They could all see Mateo struggling with his sword ,however it hanged there on the air.A large hand grabbed his throat from nowhere.It was more of happiness than surprise to see him again.He looked nothing like he did back at the dungeon.It was like he'd gone for a thorough transformation but this wasn't the time to ogle.Aiden narrowed his eyes."I've come to pay you a visit" he smirked as he looked around "I don't see any chairs or wine?"He hissed slightly "Oh..I forgot! It's not a time for you to make merry, you're gonna die soon
They marched together all the way to the palace.Luckily,Mateo was still finding it difficult to open the vault.He was in the room trying to reach the Keeper about the process of opening the vault when one of his soldiers came and alerted him about the crowd gathered outside.Mateo was at first surprised.He thought the soldier had lost his mind.However,when he moved to look through his window he caught them.He wasn't the least surprised.Instead he changed out of his casual clothing and into his fighting suit."Get the soldiers ready" Mateo ordered even when he knew he wouldn't be needing them.He stepped out of the palace,his jacket flowing with the wind.He smiled."Hello." he said sarcastically "I see it is my ex-wife leading this useless battle"He shrugged"What really made y'all think you can defeat me?""We're not here to defeat you." responded Alicia "The one to that will be here soon,till then no more talking"He began walking towards them"As you wish"* * *Zeres was givin
"We have to leave." Klaus said "He isn't going to react""Is there a way we can destroy this cell?!" demanded a furious AliciaKlaus shook his head."We can fight Mateo together?" Raven suggested "Just to buy..buy us Nina a little time?"Alicia shrugged as she continued to stare at Aiden."We would all die even before Nina defeats Zeres" Alicia replied"But..for how long would it take for her to defeat him?""I don't know.The fight's been on for three days now" came Alicia's reply."However, that's not the point" she turned to them "We all know that Aiden is the only one capable of defeating Mateo.""If Nina can defeat the Keeper then I believe Aiden can surely put Mateo in his place.He just needs to believe in himself""He doesn't need belief" Damon interjected "He knows he can defeat Mateo he just doesn't want to""His mate is dead-""Can still come back to life" interrupted Alicia"It's still an option.We don't know yet if she can." Damon responded "If he's mate is dead who will he
The next morning.Matteo had both Kiyiya and Raven standing in front of the small number of citizens.Considering the present crisis,the number of citizens of Fye Kingdom has reduced drastically.The King had summoned them to the palace for them to witness the reward of those who dare goes against him.The ladies were chained with their hands behind.They were on their knees with a huge rock stem in front of them.They are going to be beheaded.Klaus stood not afar off,trembling.He still didn't know what to do.The dark circles under his eyes and the swelling told that he had not slept at all last night.Instead he had prayed.He had prayed that Aiden would show up suddenly after much thought to what he had said yesterday.However nothing like that happened.Mateo came up beside him."What is it? Are you still expecting a miracle?" he chuckled "You'll only have yourself to blame once your daughter's head goes rolling to your feet"Klaus shuddered as he watched Matteo order the soldiers
