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
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 57: Lost II
Monica's POV"How did you know we were fighting?" I grimaced, asking Fredrick in almost a whisper."I heard the crashing sound." "Oh!" I flexed my back muscle, rolling my shoulder backward to savor the last of Reina's healing juices repairing the damage Ludovic had done to me. "That was dumb of me to have asked. Should have known we have people in the castle with us.""Yeah. Dumb question to ask." Fredrick pointed, making it sound more like an accusation than the statement it was meant to be.I understood the message."I'm sorry, Fredrick," I gulped, wearing a sorry face. " I was only trying to help. I_ I..." I was lost for words."I know you love him, Monica." Fredrick turned his full body to face me, reprimanding me. I was victimized like e a middle age school kid in detention. "I love him too. He's my son. My son." He reiterated the last two words with a higher authoritative tone, letting them sink into my head."I'm sorry. I was only trying to help." My tore my gaze away from him
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 58: Rhoda
Monica's POV"When did all this happen?" I questioned, taking long strides to the sitting room. I peeped through the window, parting the drapes slightly to observe the crowd. They hoisted placards above their heads, blaring their hurt and anger. On one was boldly written in red ink: TRUCE BREAKER. On another was imprinted: IS IT A CRIME TO BE BORN NORMAL? And just below the second placard, I saw a dark lady with a white cardboard with the message, 'FIND MY RHODA' on it. That must be her mother. My chest tightened at the thought of Rhoda laying in Ludovic's room, unconscious. This was what Fredrick tried to avoid, and I had been foolish to stir the broth my own way.The broth had spilled, and burned my skin in the process. From the way I see it, I had done more damage than the good I intended. Fredrick was right, and I had been wrong all the while."About ten minutes ago." Klien caught up with me behind the parted drapes. "Where's My Lord and his father? I've searched the entire castl
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 59: Old Flames Rekindled
Iris POVI yawned awake in my room, kissing the golden rays of the rising sun. I never had the intention of rising up early, so I Iay in bed, smiling into the false ceiling above me, appreciating the gift of life Gustav gave to me. He wasn't a jerk after all. Seeing him in the loop was way out of the world. He was the last person I ever thought would come for me. Miracles do happen, I suppose.He had confessed to loving me with all his heart, and he promised to repair the damage in our relationship, if I gave him the chance. It's been a month since my return from the Loop, and Gustav had been exceptionally sweet towards me.Breakfast in bed, a tour around the pack in his convertible, him volunteering to wash my hair in the bath, and the unforgettable moments of steamy sex that blew both of our minds off the roof. Sometimes, we did it in his car at a secluded place, or in the heart of the woods. I always begged him to wait till we returned to the mansion, but an Alpha would always be
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 60: Kisses and Stinks.
Iris' POVI sat up on the bed in a haste, hugging my legs close to my chest in fear. The distant expression on his face sent shivers down the curve of my spine. Silently in my heart, I prayed for mercy form the heavens, because if I blurted out anything from the vision I had, he would have heard it. He shifted closer, lifting his hands to my face. I shielded my face with one hand, curling myself up against the head board. "Please, don't hurt me. Please." I cried."Hurt you? I wouldn't do that." A quizzical frown creased his features. "Are you okay?"He wasn't mad? Or was he acting up? I don't know what to think, but I didn't let my guard down."I_ I thought you were mad at me." I dropped my hand, circling it around my curled up legs."Why would I be?" His tone was gentle. And loving. "We planned on going to the gym to train today, remember?" He removed the face towel around his neck, wiping away the sweat lining my forehead."We did?" I uncurled my legs, adjusting to the relief that
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 61: Into a Pleasurable Morning
Iris' POVI scrubbed my teeth with a scowl darkening my features, purging them of their foul smell. Gustav had kissed me with the stench oozing out of my mouth, and he had wronged me for hiding it from me.He was the perfect man with the perfect body, and the perfect hair. Although, he had not revealed when he'd pronounce me as his Luna of the pack, i never wanted to be caught unfresh. A perfect Alpha needed a perfect Luna- not a Luna with a shitty breath!I spat out the foam into the sink and flushed it down the drain with the turn of the faucet. I looked into the mirror above the vanity, angry at myself. He had said he loved me nonetheless, but I hate me for looking less of myself before him."You haven't heard enough from me, after I'm done here, I'm coming out to whip your funky ass with my hands." I spoke into the mirror above the vanity, frowning at my reflection.Is this love in action, or was he hiding the truth from me not to upset me? I couldn't tell which answer was more li
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 62: Secrets
Iris' POV"What have I done?" I asked myself, staring into the empty space Gustav left behind.Getting to know the new Gustav had been a blessing for me. He had proven to be worthy of me in measures I least expected. But now, my stupidly had gotten in the way. I shouldn't have asked him anything about the war. Being on the losing side, memories of the war would knife throuhh him, and cause him sleepless nights. I thought I had the right to ask him anything including that, but I was a fool. Our worlds are still very much apart with little to celebrate together."You should have kept your shitty mouth shut." I scolded myself, climbing out of the bathtub. "It's none of your business. Keep to your lane, and focus on your own problems next time."I untied the towel around my hair, allowing the red strands fall freely around my shoulders. They were a bit tousled, needing the fine work of a comb. But something else is in worse shape, and I needed to take care of it before the iron got cold.
Two Kingdoms, One Mate Chapter 63: A Hard Memory
Iris POVHe led me to the edge of the bed and sat me beside him. His expression was bleak, somewhat rid of emotions. He took a deep breath through his mouth, and sat his crossed fingers between his laps. His legs trembled, as his muscles tensed. I had never seen him this vulnerable.I placed a hand on his shoulder, revealing my presence to the darkness clogging in his heart. "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. I don't want to see you hurt remembering what you went through because of what happened."It was the first time I saw sorrow and fear laced over him like a second skin. This was an issue that was almost beyond his control. If he would let me, I'd stand by him as I promised. Other than the troubling visions I was having of Ludovic, I was cute with Gustav.I have to do something about the visions before Gustav found it out himself. I made up my mind to see Drogo as soon as possible. He was an intelligent man. He would have an explanation for what was messing with
