Between Two Kingdoms Book Novels & Stories

she elucidated, her voice carrying a hint of mystique. "These two realms are intricately intertwined, their fates entwined in an ethereal dance. Any disruption or disturbance in one realm inevitably reverberates through the other, creating a delicate balance that must be maintained." The kingdom's recent ascent in power and influence had not gone unnoticed, for it had attracted the attention of various forces lurking in the shadows, yearning to exploit this newfound connection.

I asked, and she cocked her head, either thinking or talking to Bane, maybe? 'We don't mind. There's no point in hiding it if they already know, so I don't see any harm in it.' "Yes, she is mated. How do you know all of that?" I asked as I just looked her over. "I really like to read, and I've read a ton of history of all the kingdoms. It's fascinating, actually. So that dragon on the wall was Bane then, right? Considering how he was checking the two of you out, it's the only thing that would make sense." I just nodded. She was putting things together far faster than I had been anticipating, but it didn't seem like she wanted to bring harm to me with the information, so I just let her be.

ISLA'S POV The weekend had been my sanctuary in the chaos. After the whirlwind of the gala, the explosive confrontation at Mum’s restaurant, I’d carved out quiet plans: a Saturday morning at the farmer’s market with Mum, afternoon tea with Thea to catch up on things we missed about each other and a peaceful Sunday buried in a book with no Blackthornes in sight. A fragile thread of control in a life that felt increasingly like a chessboard. My phone buzzed twice in quick succession as I curled up on the couch, a cup of chamomile tea cooling on the side table. There were two messages, from two different worlds colliding.

Senya got back to being upright. Barinor stayed quiet as he finished sewing my wound closed. “We have to do something, we can’t let the unnecessary killing’s continue.” I spoke lowely, worried someone could come through the door at any moment. “The thing with war is, it can bring famine and panic within the kingdom and the civilians.” Asiya explains her feet are now hanging off the side of the metal bed. The doors swung open with a crash as a squire rushed in with a small scroll in hand frantically and out of breath. “Your Majesty, I have news from the Erena kingdom, sir.”

It felt strange. “We need to address everyone,” I said to the two kings beside me. Hoping one of them would open the dialogue. Mathias stepped up to the plate. “Clan’s, Packs, and Clowders!” His profound and strong voice rang across the mass, he stood tall and robust like a mighty king, compelling all to settle and listen to him. “We have suffered a great loss today! Each kingdom has lost brave men and women who fought for a just cause. The enemy we defeated today, would have had us thrown back into the dark ages, using unholy creatures they created by snatching away, humans and shifters alike!

After almost a minute, a small green dragon lands gracefully on the grass before hurrying forward. When the new dragon gets inside, I peer out once more to watch the exchange. "Dagahra! Wolves are attacking. We have fled to the sky and have begun to torch the forest, but they don't seem to mind the flames," a feminine voice says, and I realize the green dragon is a female. "My plans have been destroyed! That little water freak was supposed to die," Dagahra roars, and the green dragon flinches. "I suppose we fight. Maybe if we capture the Werewolf King, we can make demands in exchange for his life," Dagahra says after taking a moment to compose himself.

Luminous was already been destroyed by Reifus who was also a threat to his majesty. There were seven kingdoms who's been destined to ruined his majesty's reign and these kingdom was: Mavis Ancienterre, Luminous Espirious, Freille Aciere, Dracous Alourre, Elvious Levou, Dwaa Acre and Gaurdous Satierre. So far, they already took down one of these seven kingdoms; Luminous Espirious. Mavis is next, yet, Nicholai had just heard about the remaining kingdoms from his majesty. Freille Aciere, Dracous Allourre, Elvious Levou, Dwaa Acre and Gaudrous Satierre. These kingdoms were unknown, for their location was not yet been discovered. But his majesty's believed that they existed.

These days I wished that he would have warned me that it would be like this though. But there was nothing to do about it now but wait, so that was what I was doing. It was easy to pass time in this library. Since Azak had been alive for centuries he had the history of the Eastern Kingdom written in the many books that lined these shelves. I was currently reading about how the feud between the kingdoms started, in hopes that it would help me understand how to end it. Sure, this icy feud would begin to thawl when we finally claimed one another publicly, but I didn't want to rely on the fated bond to ease the tension between our kingdoms.

The families, the engagement, the rumors, and the old love that once trapped me all felt very far away. I once thought leaving Lucas meant losing my future. Later, I learned I had only stepped out of someone else's script and started writing my own name. I took Noah's arm and walked into the light. Tonight, there was no shadow. Only my kingdom.

“The two powers collided—light against dark. And when they did… there was nothing left. Not the earth, not the sky, not life itself. The world was torn in two.” Phineas didn’t answer at first. The only sound was the low, steady hum of the fire, and then his voice—quiet, heavy, and grim. “The prophecy of the Twin Suns…” The Oracle nodded weakly. “It has begun.” Snow’s fingers went cold against mine. And for the first time in a long while, I wished I hadn’t listened at all.
