Caught Between Two Worlds

All Celestine ever wanted was to be someone powerful so that she won't be looked down upon. That was what she wished on a blissful night. And that very wish made her life go downhill years later ever since she came across a sacred pendant. When an invitation lands on her lap to the most prestigious university of Adrian, nothing could stop her from going there. That is until her life gets entwined with two men, the cruellest foes of each other which she wishes to escape from. But the universe paints a different picture. On a dreary day, she falls to her near-death and finds herself in the ancient land of Vitalis. With an unintentionally committed crime to her name, she must face the justice of the place where mercy is invaluable and death is inevitable and of little value. And so her trial begins at the mercy of the tainted hands of the Masked Tyrant. Alastair Arden Waldorf. Ruthless, cold-blooded and faceless. When things turn for the worse, will she be able to return to her land and not be involved in a terrifying history? Will she save, kill or escape from the tyrant to the other two men when he shall come for her? Shall love prevail between the two or will they stick to their time to avoid an inevitable curse? ~ WARNING: Mature Content (18+) Cover Design: imagineTishaD (Webnovel) Image Credit: fromKITnoc (DeviantArt) Want to support and interact with the author?

~ 105: A Place With More Foes Than Companions - Part 4 ~

'Don't!' I screamed with such great passion like never before, like as if my life depended on it.

He turned his face towards the second door and side-stepped a little to peek in through the small oval window fixed in it.

'When did you get here?' he demanded of me through the open shields.

'I-I-I-,' I stuttered not knowing what to say.

I didn't know if it was a slip of my tongue or mind or was it because I didn't want to see bloodshed anymore from his hands, in which case I could leave, or if it was that I was trying to save a life that loved the king, unlike me, and I didn't want him tainting hands with such a person's blood.

'How long have you been here?' came his next question.

I was quiet like I didn't exist there. But I could feel him searching for me in his mind. I held my breath as though even that would give me away as I backed away from his crawling talons.

'Come here,' he growled so softly that I didn't dare to move.
