Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 49: Sacrifices
Gustav's POVI jolted awake in my room, panting like a hunted prey. Zelta, Drogo and Madeline pushed forward, perplexed at the horrific look plastered all over my face. My eyes popped beyond their elasticity, and my breathing sounded in my ears.I passed frightful glances from Iris to mother on either side of the bed, threading my fingers through theirs. The air conditioned room grew strangely hot. In a matter of seconds, my shirt clung to my back and chest as I wiped off the beads of perspiration lining my forehead. My hair and palms dampened, with the horrid event replaying itself in my head."My Lord, are you okay?" Drogo inquired.I was too shocked to find the most suitable reply to answer him with. What I saw, what I experienced- they were as tangible as the fingers of mother and Iris caught in my grasp. I could feel my jaws shifting at the impact of his sucker punch, and my abdomen ruptured to pieces. I looked down at my chest where my heart still thumped, squeezing it to be su
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 50: Astute Drogo
Gustav's POVIt was hard fixing my thoughts on Iris. Ludovic's Lycan shape got in the way of the concentration. The more I tried to perch my thoughts on Iris, the glaring his icy crimson eyes reduced me to a beaten pulp. Beside him, I was helpless. I admit. He was tall amd intimidating enough to raise goosebumps on my skin.Even with my powers."Stop!" I sat up, propping my weary head on my right hand to massage my temples."Are y_ you okay, Gustav?" Zelta inquired, extending one hand to press it against my forehead."I said I'm fine!" I raised my voice a little above casual, shaking her hands off lightly. She was showing her streak of concern, but the last thing I needed was pity. I fucking hate it when I'm looked upon with pity. I'm an Alpha for fuck's sake.A fucking Alpha."Are you having second thoughts about this?" Drogo stood opposite me, his arms folded across his chest."I thought we're done with that subject? I forbid you from bringing that subject up for discussion anymore
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 51: Like a god
Gustav's POVIt was not the amphitheatre the next time I opened my eyes. There was no noise of cheering and hooting from a crowd. My eyes opened into a dark room. It was not the darkness of night. It was something darker. Like the darkness of hell."Where am I?" I asked no one in particular. There was no sound, no light, no sign of life; just an empty dark room.The ground on where I stood was firm to be fair enough. At least, the place wasn't sinking under my feet. In a way, I was thankful I didn't have to face the bastard again. Ripping my heart out of my chest was not a scene I ever wanted to repeat the second time."Iris!" My voice echoed far into the length of the unknown room without a rebound. It was one hell of a large room, I assumed.I raised my hands in the air, taking cautious steps to wherever I could feel a wall. But the longer I walked, the farther the imaginary wall I created seemed to be from reach. Soon, I felt my heart pulsing at a gradual thump."Isn't a wall here?
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 52: Dining with the Keeper
Gustav's POVMy hope soared above all the doubts that once clouded my head. I jogged towards the doorway with thoughts of Iris nestled in my head. Ludovic was dead now. My only obstacle to finding Iris had been destroyed."Iris, I'm coming for you."I raised my hand to my face to shield it from the intensity of the light attacking my sight. It shone brighter than any light I had ever seen. I got through the doorway, into a room that had no length and breath. No height or depth. I couldn't see a wall or the ceiling. The room was as empty as the darkness I fought through.So much for the supernatural!"Welcome to the Loop, Gustav Leo." A distorted voice called from behind me. I swiveled to see who it was, but found no one. It was only a voice. The doorway was no where in sight, save a long stretch of white and void. Drowned in a sea of fear, I made swift turns around where I stood to find the doorway I came through, but it was gone. As well as my new found courage."You can't find wha
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 53: The Mystery of the Violet Eyes
Gustav's POVI gasped awake in my room, holding the back of my head. I brought my hands to my face to see if I brought back souvenirs from the loop, but thankfully, there was no sign of blood on it. Except the greasiness of my palms I rubbed away on my corduroy. Agitated, I turned my neck to look at Iris beside me, sleeping peacefully. She had her innocent look cloaked over her face as I'd always known her. That was the Iris I knew, not the abomination I saw in the loop.I wondered if she could see what I saw in her head.The image of the Iris I saw at the loop with cold violet eyes and distorted voice crawled into my mind. She was fearless, brutal, and intimidating. I used to think Ludovic was what scared me the most, but now, I was wrong. If that was what Iris' caged wolf looked like, I would re-think helping her unlock her."What happened?" Mother almost jumped on me with excitement. She was awake. She was in a different cloth, as well as Drogo.I looked at the surroundings. It wa
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 54: Red Eyes and Violet Eyes
Gustav's POVIt was a different setting again. A dark room it was, but not the blinding kind I fought Ludovic in. No- the one I killed the bastard in. There were screens on either side of the elongated walls, as large as the head board of a Nissan car."Iris?" I hollered. "Keeper? Anyone here?"A screen turned on. Then another screen. And another screen, till all the screens in the room came on. Who had the remote control? I knew it was a stupid question to ask, so I kept it to myself. The keeper must be at it. He wanted to do something funny, but it was too late. I had been strengthened not to laugh at his bland, stupid jokes this time."Whatever you plan to do, I'm not giving in." I flashed my claws, and blinked my eyes to the colour that I was better suited for. "Come out from the goddamn place you are hiding and face me, you fucking coward. I won't let you get to me." I turned around and shouted into the distance. "You hear me?"Then a recorded scene played on one of the screens.
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 55: In the Castle
Gustav's POVWe escaped the darkness, hand-in-hand, through the inviting doorway into another realm. It was a desert. It was windy, almost stormy, blowing up particles of fine dust into our faces."I can't see a thing." Iris called.All right, a storm was threatening. And we had better hurry."Hold my hands, " I bellowed into the storm, locking my fingers between hers tightly. I looked down at the hand I gripped, when a beam on her left arm caught my attention. "What's that on your hand?" There was an indicator beeping on the inside of her left arm."What?" She looked at the arm, following my gesture. "Urm... I think it's telling us something." She glanced my way with a curious frown, shielding her face from the circling dust. "But I can't see it clearly.""Use your wolf." I instructed. " Your wolf will help you see things your ordinary eyes can't see." She bent her head forward, peering at the arm. After a moment, she raised her head, locking her violet orbs with mine. They bore bea
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 56: Lost
Monica's POVIt's been a month at the Stone's castle. Ludovic's memory had returned to him after the night he killed the attempted rapist in a frenzy. It was never my intention for the man to lose his life; I bundled him to the castle to use him as a blood bank for Ludovic whenever he needed a refill.In exchange for that, we lost something else. I lost something else. My Ludovic died away gradually under my watch. He was now a shell without his essence.The human blood was to be his therapy every three days as Laura had instructed, but Ludovic had a mind of his own. He wanted fresh human blood every night; which means, every night, a human lost their life. The plan was beginning to nosedive. I became scared of the monster I had created."What is all these, Ludovic?!" I shrieked, bursting into his once spotless petal-scented room, now dampened and humid with the metallic smell of human blood. He had a teenage girl trapped in his hand who appeared to have been bitten. "How did you allo
