I observed the shadows created by the dim light flickering along the stone walls. Even though I still had scrapes and bruises from the fight, the pain got better every day, and I started to feel stronger than I had anticipated. I could feel it swelling inside of me, coiling like a snake waiting to strike, but at first it was gradual, like a trickle. It was this increasing intensity that kept me up at night. My body was recuperating more quickly than it should have, with flesh repairing and bones knitting.It was more than simply the physical recovery, though. There was another stirring, something primordial, something perilous.I listened to the distant echo of footsteps while lying on the bed and gazing up at the ceiling. There was a lot of noise in the castle, including whispering and power plays. Vera, like myself, was stranded somewhere in the middle of it all. With every thought of her, the veins in my arms throbbed, and I tightened my fists. I needed to reach her.The door opene
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 47 : THE DUNGEON
Derek’s POVThe air was thick and damp, a cold that clung to my bones and gnawed at my skin, reminding me every second of where I was. The dungeon. It reeked of mildew and rusted metal, a place long forgotten by most and designed to break the strongest of men. But I wasn't just any man.The guards dragged me in, their grip firm but wary. They’d seen the way my wounds were healing, faster than they expected, and it made them nervous. I could see it in their stiff movements, the way their hands clenched tighter around their weapons every time I so much as twitched. Good. They should be nervous. Because no matter how deep they tried to bury me, I’d claw my way out.One of the guards shoved me, hard enough to make me stumble. I caught myself, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall."Think you're something special, don’t you?” he sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "Well, let's see how special you are down here. No light, no one to hear you scream."I met his gaze, r
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 48 : Silent SCARS
Vera’s POVThe cold stung my skin, seeping into every bone, every muscle, until even breathing felt like a reminder of where I was, and what I’d become. I’d lost track of the days—how many of them had been spent alone in this dark, forgotten cell with no sound but the occasional drip of water and my own shallow breaths? Even when I strained to listen, I couldn’t make out any footsteps, any voices. Only silence, creeping in and swallowing every last piece of warmth left in me.I knew that I wasn’t just here because of my ties to Derek. They wanted to break me, to make an example out of someone they saw as dangerous, defiant. Sylvester was supposed to protect me, but I hadn’t seen his face, heard his voice, or felt any semblance of his presence. He’d turned his back, just like the rest of them.My fingers curled into fists as the rage simmered just below the surface. Every bruise, every ache that pulsed through my body, only reminded me of what they wanted me to feel—small, helpless. Bu
The Kings Captive Chapter 1
*Vera’s POV**“You useless Omega bitch!” My stepfather Derek roared, yanking a fistful of my hair.“No! Father, please!” I screamed, tears filling my eyes as pain shot through my scalp. He tore at my hair, but I knew he wasn’t going to let go. “Shut up, you foolish little slut! You deserve far worse than this. How dare you steal from me?” He spat at me, his voice dripping with venom.“I didn’t steal from you, sir! I’m not a thief!” I cried, but my words fell on deaf ears. He shoved me to the ground, his boot connecting with my stomach. I screamed in pain, but deep down, I knew it was pointless—no one was coming to save me.“No, you’re far worse than a thief. You’re a shameless, lying Omega slut who killed her own mother!” he hissed.“Please, sir, it wasn’t me,” I begged, trying to make him see reason. “Then who was it? Who stole my money?” he demanded.“It—it was Amanda. I saw her going through your drawers while you were sleeping,” I stammered, instantly regretting it. We both knew
The Kings Captive Chapter 2
My scream shocked them so much that they jumped away from each other.“Amanda? What are you doing here?” Derek asked in surprise. “How- when did you get here?”I barked out a dry laugh. “Oh you didn’t hear me enter? I guess it was hard to hear over the sound of you cheating on me with my own sister!” I snapped.“Correction, step sister.” Amanda interrupted with a proud smirk on her face. She was still lying on the bed with no shame for what she had done.“You bitch!” I sneered, “How can you be so cold and shameless? Why do you have to take everything from me? You knew how much we loved each other but you kept chasing him until you finally had your way!” Hot tears were running down my face now but Amanda just grinned at me.“Chase him? No darling, I never chased Derek, he was the one chasing me, begging me for months to keep our relationship secret because he couldn’t get enough of me. We have been fucking behind your back for months now. You were just too dumb to see it.” She giggled.
The Kings Captive Chapter 3
Thankfully, Derek rushed out and left me immediately after that. He didn’t have a choice. Alpha King Sylvester was the Alpha among Alphas. He was the ruthless beast that even the worst rogues where scared of.Rumors say that he has never lost a battle, and he bathed in the blood of his enemies after a fight. If you were to be so unfortunate as to ever cross his bad side, then just say your last prayers because King Sylvester would not hesitate to track you down and skin you alive.But that was only for his enemies, and luckily for us, we weren’t his enemy.In fact, King Sylvester was sort of our friend with benefits. The rogue attack that killed my mother was still happening for years after that, so our former Alpha made a deal with Sylvester to protect us from the rogue attacks.Alpha king Sylvester was to use his men to protect his border, and in exchange, we would give him a human tribute every other year. So every other year, Alpha Sylvester came to our pack and picked any woman
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 4
The cold night air clawed at my skin as I bolted through the thick underbrush, my breath ragged, heart pounding. I could feel the pulse of the full moon above, its pull on my body strong, almost unbearable. It whispered to the beast inside me, coaxing it out with each step I took deeper into the dark forest. I stumbled, catching my balance just as a branch snagged my cloak, tearing it. The guards were close. Too close."She’s heading for the woods!" one of them shouted, their voices a harsh echo that rattled my already frayed nerves. The metallic clink of their armor was growing louder, heavy boots crashing through the fallen leaves. I cursed under my breath, pushing myself harder.I couldn’t let them catch me. Not like this—not when I was so close to losing control. I could already feel the shift starting in my bones, an ache that spread through my body, threatening to tear me apart from the inside. The transformation was inevitable, but I had to hold it off. At least until I was far
The Kings Captive CHAPTER FIVE
The convoy of King Sylvester rode through the dusty roads of Los Angeles, creating a scene that sent shivers down the spines of inhabitants of the town. Through the cobbled streets lined with a blend of new and old buildings that snuggled side by side, King Sylvester and his guards showed off the notoriety that instilled fear in the hearts of inhabitants of the city.The convoy was made of twelve battered vehicles. At the rear, was a gray van where I lay within the cage which formed the storage bay of the vehicle. Two guards sat, flanking me on either side, their faces shaded by shadows occasioned by the moonless sky.The consistent hum of the engines from the cars synced with the thrum that sounded in my ears - the impact of the attack that earlier took place in the forest. Smarting from the brutal attack and regularly spat gobs of blood and phlegm onto the road. A tang of blood clung to my temple and my head throbbed with every jolt of the van when it hit a speed bump.A deluge of
