Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 127: A Chance at Saving the World II
Gustav's POV"Nooo!" Crude anger shot up my bones, setting me aflame. My wolf and I merged in an instance, lunging at Laura. She was too wrapped up in her warped cruel laughter that she didn't see me coming. I sank my teeth into her shoulder joint, pushing her away from Zelta. I left her in the care of Monica and Ludovic, while I took my pound of flesh from the psycho. I've always wanted to do this. Taking the back seat, I surrendered fully to my beast. Her time of retribution is now. Perhaps, she hadn't extended her tentacles to Monica, but the rest of us have suffered because of her. She'd taken too much from us. She poisoned Ludovic's mother's wine and killed Iris parents in cold blood. As if that was not enough, she made my mother's death the icing on the cake. For the sake of us, I'll gladly rip her limb from limb, and sever her head from her body."Zelta, Zelta!" Iris scooped her up, removing the dagger from her back. "You can't die now. Please, stay with us. We can't do this

Iris' POVIt felt like a very bad dream. My world shattered to tiny bits under me, caving beneath my feet. I couldn't breath, I couldn't talk; I just felt lost. Everything was happening so quickly that I forgot to breath in the bad air surrounding me. Ludovic turned to his side, resting his elbow on his hands. He cast his face the other way, spitting black blood on the dusty tile. His lengthy black hair fell over his head, covering his face from me. Placing one hand on the ground, he pushed himself to a kneeling position, backing me and groaning gravely. I saw the dagger hanging below his shoulder blade. He backed me. He didn't want me seeing him weak in the face of death. Monica and Gustav stood few inches away from us. Silently taking in the latest tragedy straddled between life and the afterlife. I heard Monica sniffle. Gustav held her close muttering few words of courage to her."I warned you all not to play hero, but you wouldn't listen. If you'd taken my offer, all this blood

Monica's POVI never knew I could be this tense. My heart raced a marathon, standing beside Gustav, hands locked. We met the rest of the people outside as well. They'd been waiting for us to come out. Drogo had thrown us pieces of clothings the moment he saw us running out of the bunker. We'd brought with us few changes of garment as a contingency; only that we never foresaw the night wearing long and tragic as this. By now, the moon had reclined behind the clouds, bowing out of the podium for the sun to take its cue. The air was surprisingly chilly around me, and I welcomed the first day of the sun perching on my face in a canvass of yellow and orange. Gustav had ordered everyone to move three miles away from the area. Owing to the final battle between Iris and Laura, it was only expected of us that the bunker would collapse. It had taken on many hits already to keep it standing.Klein rushed forward to ask us about Ludovic and Iris. I was too sorry to tell him they couldn't make

Where and when it all began...Gustav's POV"Welcome, brothers, sisters, and warriors from around the world," the commentator announced from the blaring speakers in the large concentric stadium. "Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Crescent pack Indomitable Challenge. The king bids me welcome our brothers from the Grey Moon pack, who are joining us for the first time."A loud wave of cheer and applause followed the commentator's welcome address. "As you all know, there are three challenges to the competition. The first to keep us in the mood is the flag-finding challenge. Seven teams consisting of four werewolves each will be competing to find four flags hidden in brown wooden boxes in the maze before them. The first four teams to find a flag and bring it to the tower at the end of the maze will qualify for the next round.Another round of hooting and cheering thronged the electrified spectators at the large stadium, rushing the blood in my veins. The Indomitable Challenge brough

Somewhere in the Dark Moon packIris' POV"Daddyyy!" I jolted awake, panting and sweating profusely in the cool of the well air-conditioned bedroom I slept. "Not again. Not again." I glanced at the small digital clock under the lampshade on the nightstand. "Exactly one a.m." I darted around my cozy room frightfully, as memories of the nightmare flashed into my mind, causing my chest to lump with apprehension. This was the the sixteenth time, in the sixteen years of my life that the same horrifying nightmare haunted every eve of my birthday.Everything seemed normal and quiet, except the occasional rhythm of chirping crickets in the yard, until a loud crashing sound came from the kitchen downstairs, which was immediately followed by a piercing scream from mother, and hurrying feet, tromping down the hallway."Mommy!" I hurled out of bed, pushing the duvet aside. Goosebumps appeared on my skin, as I gasped for air. It's happening just the way I'd dreamed it to be. Suddenly, the house

Present day...Iris'POVSeven years passed in quick succession. It was my twenty-third birthday with no one to celebrate it with me. I stood before the broken mirror in my room in the Alpha Payne's palace, surprisingly elated. I slept in what may pass for a wreckage. Beside the miniature bed at the edge of the wall, and an old slanted warbrobe propped against the wall, the room screamed empty.One would have thought living with the Alpha and his family would make me an adopted princess, but I love to burst that bubble. Somehow, it was rumored that I killed my parents and burned down the duplex to destroy the evidence. For years, I'd cry my eyes out, till there was no more to shed.However, today was a different day; and I was determined to be happy against all odds- parent killer or not. It was an alias I wore like a second robe in the pack. Even the newborn pups knew my story.I did a quick twirl before the mirror, and realised I had become more beautiful and appealing as a lady."My

Gustav's POV"Fuck me!" I cupped my damaged crotch to get a hold of myself. Who would have thought a wolfless girl could cause much damage?"How did I let my guard down in the first place?" I asked no one in particular."When you couldn't have enough of her over-the-top beauty." Blood, my wolf mocked. Over time, my wolf and I had argued to become knit as one. Yeah, we argued through everything to agree on almost nothing.At first, I hated him when I was an Omega. He was way out of control for me to tame. He was a beast, thronging for the metallic taste of warm rippling blood to quench his bloody thirst.With time, we learned to understand each other, striking a truce that worked. That, to a considerable extent too. We agreed the domineering of one by the other would not be allowed, and I can say it was one hell of a deal. "Shut up, Blood" I snarled, rising to my feet with one hand wrapped firmly around the door knob to support my weight, like a toddler learning the rubrics of walking

Iris' POVI ran as fast as my naked feet could carry me and my clutch bag. The cool wind brushed past my face, whistling distinct chords into my ears. Most, if not all of the glitters attached to my hair must have fallen out in my attempt to escape Gustav's mansion, but it didn't matter at the time.I was wrong. I thought I would be happy when I found my mate; someone I could rely on to be my buckler and shield. I thought we would love each other unhindered. I thought we would make cute pups together and live happily ever after like it happens in the movies.The wind seeped into my eyes, forcing the dams locked behind each socket to break lose. I let the stream cascade unashamedly. What's the point of wiping the tears away, when the hurt buried deep within my shredded heart still gapped open?My pace began to reduce when I was sure I was miles away from hell. The tall razor edged shrubs had marked the exposed part of my arms and either side of my neck, but I was less bothered about it,

Gustav's POV"We have to destroy that staff." Iris announced, rising into the air to meet Laura. "Are you sure about that?" Ludovic asked. "One hundred percent. It's her life force." She pointed at the top of the staff in Laura's hand. "I'll try my best to destroy the staff. She dies, and we get to live. The bonus part is that she takes her undying army with her to wherever they came from.""What if you're wrong about that?" Ludovic had his doubts. Destroying the staff won't come that easy. Scenarios like this always ended up in tears. There was a catch to it. I could sniff it. "It's too dangerous. Please, don't try anything stupid.""You're right. I may be wrong. But I'm certain about one thing. A witch's staff is her life force. Her life is connected to that staff. That's why she never parts with it.""Iris isn't wrong." I didn't know when Zelta regained consciousness. The hit she survived really did a number on her consciousness. She supported herself with her staff, wiping off a
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 125: Iris' Comeback
Monica's POVLaura was having a field's day wearing us out. The dead never died, our strength was failing, our number depleting, and the walls are crumbling. Our greatest disadvantage was that Zelta had been knocked out. By the look of things, it would take longer for the old lady to shift out of the supernatural coma. The ball of black fire Laura hauled at her swept her off her feet, snuffing the last air of luck out of us.From a corner of the bloodbath, nursing my bloodied left hind limb, I morphed back to my human form, sprawled to a pillar, stained with blood. We're all going to die, that's for sure. Claws snapped at each other, and the squeals of men carried through the chipping walls, as more men lost their lives to Laura's madness.Ludovic and Gustav were no use to us than they are to themselves. The litres of silver swimming in Ludovic's bloodstream had left him hanging on the precipice of life. In he middle of the chaos and a bruised eye, Drogo was doing one hell of a job p
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 124: A Miracle of the Century
Iris' POV"Stay with me, Ms Iris," Klein wheezed, breezing past the blood and claws, out of the bunker. "Don't die on me, please. Hold on a little bit longer." I attempted speaking to assure him of my existence, but the words were too heavy for my dead cords to form. The poison had completed its cycle. Every blood vessel under my skin had turned purple. I was losing control of my limbs. To the humans, paralysis was the proper term to describe my present condition.I'd lost contact with my wolf. Her howls had reduced to a tiny purr. She shrunk herself to a corner, afraid for her and myself. The pinna of her ears had dropped to the ground, her tongue a deep shade of tundra purple. She dragged her weight about, fighting to stay alive for the both of us. Her healing virtue had gone below the threshold, hitting rock bottom. Throughout the period the devil's trumpet was introduced into my system, she'd pumped all of her juice into my body to keep me alive, hoping cavalry would come. Cava
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 123: An Army of the Undead
Ludovic's POV"The bunker is going to implode on us!" I grumbled loudly, facing Iris with fear etched across my face. She met my gaze with an equal amount of fear, if not greater. "What are we going to do?!" I sheathed the tremor in my voice for the sake of my mate. As the male, I had to be stronger for her. I had to be tough for the both of us."We're all going to die, but it'll hurt me to die without telling you this." She looks at me with a calm smile. Tendrils of fear hung behind the false mask, but I paid it no heed. Her bold stance in the face of death was applaudable. She cleared her throat and continued, as Laura's chants faded in the background. "My life was hopeless before you stepped into it. Pain and suffering were my constant companion until you came by and kissed them all away. I know that when I open my eyes on the other side of the divide, you'll be right there by my side, never to part again. Thank you for making the last three weeks of my life the most memorable." Sh
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 122: Laura's Madness
Iris' POVThe slurp of the blade tearing into the organs beneath Gustav's rib cage mingled with his muffled grit of his clamped teeth. Laura was on a higher pedestal of evil. Needless to say, she was evil personified. "Stop hurting him!" Monica barked through tears, jerking violently under the straps. Her sweaty naked body faultered as Laura turned the metal blade, causing gruesome damage. Blood tricked out of the corner of Gustav's mouth. All through the torture, not a whimper fell out of his mouth. He tamped agony with resilience. I'll give that to him.Hot tears washed down Monica's face. Watching your mate being tortured before you was another level of torture. I could only imagine the tremor her wolf would be going through. Raw emotions whirled out of her, hitting me like a gust of hot wind on the hottest noon of Texas summer."Please." Monica sobbed, choosing to gravel instead. Perhaps, if Laura had a sliver of humanity in her, she'd stop her ministrations on her mate."Have yo
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 121: The Mate Bond
Monica's POVIris led a series of dry laboured cough. I didn't need a witch to tell me what the smug on her face meant. Ludovic on the other hand lay limp on the bed. The tiny drops of liquid silver flowing into his veins had his mouth set into a thin line. His face was pale. The green venation of his veins stood out conspicuously under his white skin. Iris was just as bad. Maybe worse. Her lips were chapped, the flesh peeling off. Her cheekshd become hollow, revealing the peak of her cheekbones. Her tangled her was splayed under her head in tired waves. Where the hell did she get the strength to snigger at us? Rage burned my face, as I scowled at her."Is this funny to you?" I blurted. "Keep laughing at your own death for all I care."She coughed before responding. "It's my death, I'm not complaining. I welcome it with open hands. Beside, I would die knowing my own people didn't turn against me." Her voice was almost inaudible, but there was no denying the melee retort in it.Her w
