All Chapters of Two Kingdoms, One Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

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

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

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,

Ludovic's POVAmber and a handful of men circled around us to salvage what was left of the sudden change of merriment. A mild quizzical look drooled over their faces as they mumbled indistinctly amongst themselves. The rest of them remained seated, poking and turning their necks to catch a glimpse of the situation.Her body was arched backward like a ball room dancer, with her hair falling straight behind her head. This was the perfect moment were the gentleman plants a gentle kiss on the lip of his lady, but she was in no state to return the kiss- a stolen kiss.God! She smells like breakfast, ready to be devoured without napkins.I bent on one knee to gather her petite body in my arms properly. I lifted her into my arms and stared into her face, examining her thin arched brows. Her hair covered a fraction of her face rested against my chest. The centrifugal urge to tuck her red hair behind her ears to behold the beauty they wield was too powerful to tame, but I had to tame them anywa

Iris' POVI woke up with a start the following morning. The blazing sun eavesdropped into a room I had no faintest idea how I crashed into. I had had the most unusual dream. At first, I had thought I experienced the fantasy I saw. But it felt too vivid to discard them off my memories. Too true to be true. Too real to be real. For a moment, I had wished it was real.I had sex with Ludovic in the dream. His touch over me was everything I wanted in a man. The mundane pleasure I derived from his silky lips smothering mine to stupor was a scene I can trade anything in the world for. I raised a finger to touch my slightly parted lips that carved a smug smile at the remote corner of my lips. It was too soft and plump to belong to a man.Such an object of male seduction!The way he dominated me, the way he suckled on my breasts, the way he nestled his head between my wet thighs... Damn it! I wished I experienced all the pleasure first hand. The mere thought of it alone made my thighs cringe.
