The Gatehouse Book Novels & Stories

Sadly for the prince, they had already arrived at the front gate of the green garden temple and now it’s the time to say goodbye to his beloved cousin. The gatehouse of the green-garden temple was quite tall but modest in design. It consisted of thick white bricks arranged neatly on top of each other. There were small windows to stationed bowmen and long-range weaponry, just in case there was a siege attack from the enemies. Also, in the middle of the gatehouse, there was a large iron gate that was mechanically controlled from inside the house. Two white priests, who guarded the holy place, approached them, they smiled and bowed politely to the guests, “May I ask your business here?” one of

Chapter 10: Echoes of Destruction The rusted iron gates of the obsidian citadel loomed before them, a gaping maw in the desolate crimson landscape. Behind them, the monstrous creatures howled in frustration, their metallic claws scraping against the barren rock. Evie and Liam, hearts pounding in their chests, sprinted towards the gate, desperate for any semblance of refuge. With a resounding clang, the gate swung open, revealing a dark, cavernous entrance. Without hesitation, they plunged into the cool, stale air that emanated from within. The heavy gate slammed shut behind them, momentarily cutting off the sounds of the pursuing horde.

Louise would surely be one of those important issues he has to sort out. “Please don't forget to open the gate so when we are returning, we can easily access the house,” I pleaded with him. We'd be finished should we want to return to the estate and not be able to enter, only to remember that we'd shut it from the inside and left with the helicopter from the rooftop. The gate was a very massive one, made of the most expensive metals, the hardest and plated with gold at the top. It would be extremely hard even for a bulldozer to want to pull it down.

I said, though her words sparked a flicker of unease in my chest. ​As the Iron City loomed on the horizon, the unease turned into cold, hard logic. The Hub was not as I had left it. The great iron gates were standing wide open, but they had not been forced. They were decorated. Long streamers of scavenged fabric and woven ivy hung from the battlements. Large, crude symbols had been painted in white ash across the primary bulkheads. ​“Is that… a shrine?” Thorne asked, standing up and squinting at the gatehouse.

When he noticed I saw him, he quickly looked away. We stepped out, and I saw I had traded one prison for another. The packhouse was large and looked like a fucking castle. It was surrounded by a large garden and a very high gate. Why would they build a gate around the packhouse? Wasn’t the packhouse supposed to be used by the packmembers as well? Or did they have a separate packhouse, and was this just their house? Who was the gate for? Were they worried their own pack would break in? Once again, I was pulled out of the car, and the blanket fell on the floor before I could catch it. Goddess, it was hard to keep myself from growling at the stupid fucking soldier.

The driver shouted and drove away, leaving me shaking from my head down to my toes. I heaved a deep sigh and walked to the front of the gate. I couldn't see anyone guarding the gate. I was met with pure silence. I took my phone from my pocket and tried calling Rotimi, but before I could do so, the gate opened for me to enter. Could a ghost truly be in the house? I guessed I would have to find out. I walked into the gate and marveled at the large building in front of me. It was a three-story mansion that was beautifully designed. There were beautiful trees planted around the mansion and a large field of grass. I noticed that there were corridors on each floor and an elevator at the center of

the gatekeeper asked through the microphone above the two-way communication buttons in the guard room. Keyara heard the question from the supervisor and responded. "Please open the gate. I want to go out!" Keyara shouted in front of the CCTV screen, which seemed to have a pan-tilt-zoom function. The speaking gatekeeper immediately pressed the button to open the gate, causing the four-meter-high gate to move and spread. As soon as the gate partially opened, Keyara rushed out eagerly. After successfully passing through the partially opened gate, Keyara quickly walked along the eastern side of the house. The house on that side had a black fence that covered the entire front area.

He said and they quickly went down the stairs to Emilio's car. With as much speed as he could afford to drive with, without drawing g too much attention, Emilio drove u til they reached The Gate. The Gate was a gate, but it was not just any ordinary gate, even though it seemed like one to people who didn't know. The Gate was the only gateway to the human realm and back. It was located at the very edge of their borders and they were lucky enough that their pack was close to it. Getting through the gate would bring you to a very similar gate at the other side, but in the human realm. Only a selected few knew about this, so people wouldn't keep coming and going and end up putting the werewolf r

Another woman clutched her child closer as they passed, her gaze fixed sharply on me. We kept walking, deeper and deeper past the murmuring crowd until the path opened up into something much larger than I expected. My breath hitched. Before us stretched a massive gate—iron bars twisted with ancient carvings of moons and wolves, so tall it seemed to scrape the sky. The walls around it were built of stone older than time itself, and the earth beneath my boots vibrated faintly, as if even the land knew this was sacred ground. Two guards stood at either side of the gate. They weren’t just big—they looked terrifying. Their broad shoulders and stone-hard faces made me wonder if they were carved fr

It had few flat edges and two flanked tower. Absolutely a sight to behold. "Listen to this, I will go in first and when I call you out, do not hesitate to come out and play along with me OK?" "OK" Abi nodded still in awe of what was before her and then, they marched in through the gate. As soon as they passed, the guards locked up the gate for some reasons which is strange. This gate in particular is always opened but all of a sudden, they want to have it locked? Something is brewing.
