*VERA'S POV* As dawn broke, Sylvester and I sat on our balcony, hands intertwined. The kingdom stretched before us, bathed in golden light."Our journey's been fraught with danger," Sylvester said, his eyes reflecting on our past. "But our love remains unshaken."I smiled, my heart full. "Through every trial, our bond grew stronger."Sylvester's eyes burned with passion. "Forever and always."In that moment, our love shone brighter than any star. The world faded into the background, leaving only us. As we gazed out at the kingdom, I knew our future held promise. Our love would be the foundation upon which we built our reign..."Imagine our children," Sylvester whispered, "growing up in a kingdom at peace."My heart swelled with joy, visions of laughter and family filling my mind.But as we basked in our happiness, a faint rumble echoed in the distance."Thunder?"

The Kings Captive CHAPTER 55: WHAT NEXT
*VERA’S POV*But before I could ask any more questions, Shaun grabbed my arm and started pulling me away. "Come on, Vera. We need to be going."I stumbled after him, feeling like I was being swept up in a tornado. What was happening? Why was Shaun being so desperate?And what did he mean by "save my life"?Shaun's words cut through me like a knife. They shook my emotions like an earthquake.. "Vera, your mom wasn't killed by rogues. She was killed by Sylvester's guys."I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. My world was turned upside down. I stumbled backward, my eyes fixed on Shaun's face. I can't believe what I'm hearing. Is this real??"What...what are you talking about?" I stuttered.Shaun's expression was grim. "Your mom was a Lycan, Vera. She loved and wanted to live with werewolves after your dad's death. But Sylvester's guys didn't want that. They saw her as a threat, so they killed her."I felt like I was living in a nightmare. This couldn't be true. Sylvester wouldn't do tha
The Kings Captive Chapter 56 : THE WEB OF DECIET
VERA’s POVI trudged through the forest, my mind was a jumbled mess. I mean, I'd just found out my mom was killed by Sylvester's guys. And that I was a Lycan. Like, what even is that?I felt like I was stuck in some kind of crazy dream. Like, I'd wake up and it'd all be over. But deep down, I knew it wasn't a dream. It was my reality. And it sucked. This was too much to fathom.Shaun walked beside me, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. He was being super quiet, which was kinda freaking me out. I mean, I knew he was trying to be all supportive and stuff, but seriously, a little conversation would be nice..."Hey, Shaun?" I said, trying to break the silence.He turned to me, his eyes questioning. "Yeah?"I hesitated, unsure of how to ask what I wanted to ask. "Do you think...do you think Sylvester knew about my mom?"Shaun's expression turned grim. "I don't know, Vera. But I do know one thing - we need to get out of here. Now."I nodded, feeling a surge of fear. What if Sylvester's guys f

I knew that I had to come up with a plan, and I needed to act fast.As I sat there, thinking, I heard a knock at the door. I froze, my heart started racing with fear.Who could it be?

The Kings Captive CHAPTER 58: CRYING OVER SPLIT MILK.
DEREK'S POV.I stood outside my apartment, the chill of the evening air biting at my skin. I fumbled with my keys, my hands trembling as I tried to unlock the door. The events of the day played on a relentless loop in my mind, each moment more agonizing than the last. I could still hear Vera's voice, filled with fear and disbelief, ringing in his ears. “Let go of me, you desperate fuck” Vera had spat at me. She called me desperate, am I truly desperate though?“Of course you are Derek”, an inner voice told me.As I finally pushed the door open, the familiar smell of my home hit me like a wave, but it offered no comfort. The walls that once felt like a sanctuary now felt like a prison. I stepped inside, closing the door behind Me with a soft click that echoed in the silence. It was a stark reminder that I was alone. Alone with my thoughts, alone with guilt.I moved to and fro in my apartment, I'd fucked up I thought. I moved to the living room, where the dim light cast long shadows
The Kings Captive Chapter 59 : ASSURANCE
VERA'S POV.King Sylvester's presence was a comforting balm against the chaos that had recently invaded my life. The memory of Derek’s attempted kidnapping still clung to me like a shadow, but here in the garden, surrounded by vibrant flowers and the soft hum of nature, I felt a flicker of hope. Sylvester had always been a steadfast figure, his strength radiating warmth that eased my troubled heart.I'm really glad I gave him a chance in my life after everything.. I said to myself.As I sat on the edge of the fountain, the gentle sound of water cascading down the stones filled the air. The king approached, his regal posture softened by the way he looked at me—his eyes filled with concern and determination. “Vera,” he said softly, kneeling beside me. “You don’t have to worry about Derek anymore. I won’t let him hurt you.”His words wrapped around me like a protective shield. I wanted to believe him completely, to let go of the fear that had gripped me since that harrowing day. But the
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 60. SOMETIMES LOVING IS LETTING GO!
DEREK'S POV.I stood at the edge of the park, watching the leaves dance in the gentle breeze. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, the sun casting warm rays that painted the world in golden hues. Yet, despite the vibrant surroundings, a heaviness settled in my chest. Today was the day I had decided to let go, at least for now.Vera had been on my mind constantly. The way her laughter lit up a room, how her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the warmth of her smile had all woven themselves into the fabric of my thoughts. But I knew I had to step back. Our relationship had become a tangled web of emotions, and I was indeed tired of feeling like a puppet, pulled in different directions by her indecision. “It was time to let her be, to give her the space she needed, even if it felt like tearing a piece of myself away”. I said to myself.“I’ll let her be,” I whispered. The words feel foreign yet liberating. I had spent countless nights contemplating my feelings for her, wondering if I was

I missed the warmth of his embrace, his touch, his company, his presence, his majestic and stunning appearances. I missed everything about him. But then, Shaun's words echoed in my mind, passing shivers in my vines."Vera, you need to leave this kingdom urgently. Sylvester will definitely kill you if he finds out you’re a Lycan hybrid and not a werewolf," he had warmed me, his voice cracking with urgency and fear. I could still see the worry written on his face, the way his fingers trembled and shook as he spoke. But how could I believe him?
