Gustav's POV

"Ludovic."

His name tasted sour on my lips. Thinking about him and all the hardships he had caused me and my pack made me angry at myself. Maybe it was because he had a better strategy than I did. Or maybe because he was born a Lycan, and I, a struggling hybrid.

For all I cared, being a Lycan in a battle of werewolves was an unfair tool to bring into the game.

I gulped the remaining glass of '74 McKinnen Scotch down my patched throat and refilled the old fashioned glass cup in a haste. Dry scotch on a patched throat- a very bad combo no one would tell you not to try.

Regardless, I poured myself another glass, and leaned back into my black rotating chair in my commodious office.

"That cheating Lycan. He also got the girl before me." I downed the second glass, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. My body trembled with so much vexation that I feared for the vodka glass cups in my hand.

I was hopeless. I was not winning the protracted war, and to make matters worse, it d

    Gustav's POV'A silver bullet? Where the hell did she get a silver bullet?'My thoughts were disheveled as I marched into the dungeon in the basement of the mansion. Drogo trailed behind me panting helplessly. He was becoming old to keep up with the widening gap between us. Even as a werewolf, your glory days are numbered. Drogo's glory days ended with my father's reign. My time to lead was here.No, my time to rule had come, and I was having a field day at it. Father would look down from heaven, or up from hell in awe, that I surpassed his fears and limitations.We got to the mouth of the dungeon, and turned of a big flashlight affixed to a hinge on the wall to brighten the dark corridor. The corridor was as quiet as a graveyard, except for the tapping of our shoes against the concrete floor.The dungeon could pass for a graveyard after all. Both humans and werewolves in their drones had been tortured to death by my skillful hands in the same room Iris was being held.Seeing my victi

    Ludovic's POV"I'm so sorry about your place. I know you had lots of memories established here."Amber and I stood outside the ruins of the Morning Sun Motel, hand-in-hand. Her face was as expressionless as a still lake. I could give a penny for her thought, but I was damn sure that whatever the clogs in her head were tuning were not happy moments. We watched with regret, as the flames from the building travelled up to the roof, burning half of the building. In no time, it extended its destructive tongue to the other parts of the building."You know, this place used to be Geoffrey's idea." She began. "We spent all of our lives and time building this legacy out of nothing."I shifted my gaze from the burning ruins to look into her eyes. The reflection of the roaring flames were vivid in her blue orbs. She was a strong woman, full of surprises; but no doubt, she was shaken up badly."Do you want to talk about it?" I placed my arm around her shoulder, pulling her close to myself. She rec

    Iris' POV"Ah!" I peeled my lazy eyes open to the soft yellow beam from a semi-flushed mount dropping from a false ceiling in a strange room. I was too weak to move an arm or raise my body to examine the room I was.Suddenly, I forced mg eyes open, forgetting the pain throbbing my temples. 'Have I been fucked again?' I asked myself, raising the black blanket to see if I was naked.'What a relief. I have a pink nightie covering me this time.' I closed my eyes in relief and sat up on the bed, leaning my back against the puffy pillows that once cushioned my head. The last memory I remembered was me kneeling on a cold concrete floor in a cold dungeon being punished by my psychopathic Alpha mate, Gustav. He had said something about helping me unlock my caged wolf by having sex with me, to which I rebutted sternly."Are... Are... Are you all right, my dear?" A nasal female voice broke through my thought, bringing me back to the room. She was not alone. Gustav and Drogo were with her opposi

    Iris' POVHis thin lips melted into mine, mingling with the rapturous taste of the meat loaf in my mouth. I wanted to push him far away from me, but my senses were numbed by his overpowering kisses. He was a ruthless maniac who would not bat an eye to torture me at will.He can not drizzle me with sultry kisses one minute, and the next minute, went ballistic on me. If no one said it, I was better than being his submissive plaything. I need to do something to remind him of that. And fast."I said I'm hungry." I turned my face away from him, looking at the large expanse of forestry stretched across the uncultivated plains. I did not develop a sudden keen interest in observing the importance of nature to humanity, but it was the better place to look at than getting lost in Gustav's weakening seductions.He moved away from me, and sat up straight on the edge of the bed. He swept his hands down his face as if he wanted to clear his vision.Maybe he forget the injustice he meted out to me in

    Gustav's POVHer breathing was coming in hard and hot against my nose and cheek. She shrieked at the instance of my fingers brushing past the opening of her cunt. The sticky cream that greeted my fingers escalated my desires beyond the mundane to a realm full of milk and rainbows.Kissing her and finger fucking her soaking walls at the same time was all it took to bulge my dormant dick to action. It pulsed beneath my suit pants, begging for freedom like a caged animal set free.She pulled back from the kiss and mumbled some words that sounded like a plea."Don't... stop.., Alpha Gustav." Her left had found my right hand on her cunt, gripping it tightly. She definitely was enjoying the sneaky entrance.I wondered how she would feel when I devoured her. My grand entrance would leave her begging for more."You're a pathetic slut, Wild Dog." I kissed the inside of her neck, savoring the scent of the flowery air freshener in my room that lingered on her pale skin. Blood salivated, purring fr

    Iris' POV'You're toast now.' my subconscious reprimanded me. 'how could you have moaned his name in his presence?'It felt as if a scale had suddenly fallen out of my eyes. Screaming his name into Gustav's ears was a very bad idea I couldn't take back. In my proper reasoning, I wouldn't have said his name into Gustav's ears on purpose. But when I shut my eyes in climax, I saw Ludovic's face with my mind's eye. He was sinking in a quick sand with no one to pull him out. It felt so real that I thought I was there with him.Telling Gustav what I saw would only infuriate him further. So, I kept mute and braced myself for what came next. 'Dungeon, did you miss me?'"How dare you?!" He barred his teeth at me, lifting his face for me to see between my parted thighs. His face had a mixture of vexation and my cum splashed over it. That was not the way I thought the evening was going to end, but apparently, the vision had a plan of its own. A plan that sucks and got me fucked. "I don't know

    Ludovic's POV"Iris"Her name was the first thing I said when I woke up. It was the last thing I saw as well. In the troubling nightmare, I saw her dragged and bruised in a dark torture house. I swore that I'd come for her and rip out the heart of her oppressors, chopping them into a heart salad- if there was a thing like it.Moments ago, in the front of the burning Morning Sun Motel, Amber and I were kind of getting to know each other more, but somehow, I found myself tucked under my blanket in my own bed. I didn't understand how fast I was transported to my own castle, tucked in bed in my cotton pyjamas. We can talk about how my dress got changed later, but now, there was something more pressing at hand."Amber." I sat up on the bed and gradually peeled my eyes open to see a couple of maids standing with their backs hunched, and their covered hair bowed. Looking into the eye of a Lycan king was almost punishable by ostracisation. Father made the law, not me."How did I get here?" I

    Ludovic's POV"Monica!" Father adjusted himself, wiping away the lingering tear hanging loose on his lashes, "what a pleasant surprise."You didn't tell me you'd be coming." I straightened, clearing my throat."I came as quickly as I heard." She narrowed her eyes at us, shifting her gaze from me to my father and back to me. "You know, it's not a bad thing for a father and his son to hug things out. There's no shame in it, I swear.""You didn't see that, and no one else must know it. Are we clear on that?" father voiced. It wasn't a command. It was a plea Monica and I understand so well.She sliced the rising chuckle in her throat and replied with a mock seriousness, "Roger that, Mr Fredrick Stone."Seeing Monica's drama forced a giggle from my mouth. Monica was my best friend from the Red Moon pack. We've been friends since we were kids in kindergarten. We pranked, studied, and played house together like siblings. We had our separate clique of friends, but when it was 'us time', nothin

  • Two Kingdoms, One Mate   Epilogue

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
