The Kings Captive CHAPTER 64 : THE KING'S TRIP.
VERA'S POV.I was passing through the castle's walk way, in a room in saw Sylvester and uncle Ryan, they seem to be discussing something quite serious. I decided to hide and eavesdrop their conversation. They were talking with their voices barely above a whisper, but the castle was really quite so it wasn't difficult for me to listen. My heart raced as Rayn just delivered a news that would change things. I could sense the urgency from his voice and I felt a pang of anxiety.“There's an urgent meeting in Cadora pack and all the alphas must be present. You'd be two weeks away my king” I eavesdropped as Rayn told my husband.He also handed a piece of paper to him and he read it thoroughly.“We're to leave early tomorrow morning” Rayn continued and Sylvester nodded his head...“I've to be away for two weeks Vera, there's an urgent meeting I have to attend”. Sylvester told me as we lay on our royal bed almost ready to sleep.I didn't say a word because he was the king, it's one of his du
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
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 6 : THE THREAT
I woke up with a start, the faint sound of a howling dogs sent me reeling out of unconsciousness. I couldn't stand up, a throbbing pain evident all over my body.The impact of the beating from the previous night had taken its toll and now my body was nonetheless heavier than a massive tree trunk.The barking of the dogs was becoming too loud. Curiosity piqued, I managed to drag my numb frame from the bed, my shackled wrists and shackles making my movement cumbersome.The chain scrapped the floor with a jarring screech as I slowly moved towards the window. It's dusty pane offered a sweeping view of the Castles massive concourse.Below were a triumvirate of elegant dogs, their leashes, in the firm grasp of a tall, middle -aged woman clad in a dark gossamer gown who stood conversing with one of the Castles personnel.She was stern-faced and she evoked a certain authority which I thought arose from her position in the Castle.She tilted her head towards my direction and I noticed that sh
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 7 : A DATE WITH THE ALPHA
Flanked by Lorna and a guard, I walked slowly through the immense concourse to the gardens which was situated east of the sprawling castle grounds. The cool morning breeze caressed my skin while the dipping sun cast a golden hue across the plush greenery.Once again I sensed Queen Annalise squinting through the blinds of her window. I ignored her furtive behavior and approached the garden where he was solitarily seated. A polished marble table was positioned in front of him and was adorned with fruits, barbecued fish and meat. Balmy bulbous glasses containing the finest of wine complimented the arrangement atop the tableAs I walked towards the table, a lascivious glint tinged in his eyes. "You are welcome, Vera. Here's a seat for you," he gestured at the empty concrete seat that was on the other side of the table.With a wave of the hand, he dismissed Lorna and the guardI exuded an indifferent face, furious at his calm disposition - a day before, he exhibited the arrogance of a swas

Did I hear you say twins doc!” I asked in confusion, shaking his hands.“You heard me right,” the doctor smiled, handing my results to me.“Thank you so much” I said with a smile.….As I stepped out from the hospital, cool breeze refreshed my skin. I felt so delighted owing to the fact I was carrying a set of twins. I imagined how the look on Sylvester's face would be when I break the news to him.

The Kings Captive CHAPTER 62 : WAR IN THE PACK.

A sense of unease settled in my stomach, a feeling that something was off. It wasn’t long before the heavy footsteps of the pack members echoed through the halls, their urgency palpable. My heart raced as I heard them call for Sylvester.I quickly dressed and made my way to the great hall, where the clan gathered. The air was thick with tension, and I could see the worry etched on the faces of our people. As I entered, I caught sight of my husband, King Sylvester, standing tall and commanding, his presence both reassuring and terrifying. The pack members were breathless, their words tumbling over one another as they reported the sighting of powerful werewolf intruders trying to claim our lands.A chill ran down my spine. The thought of intruders, especially powerful ones, sent waves of fear crashing over me. I had seen the dev
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 61: BONDING WITH AMBER.
DEREK'S POV.As the weeks went by, Amber and I found ourselves paired up for a project. We were to create a set of matching mugs, and I was both excited and nervous. I could feel the weight of my memories with Vera pressing down on me, but Amber had a lightness that was hard to resist. She would often catch my eye and smile, her enthusiasm infectious. “Come on, Derek! You can’t just press the clay down like that! You have to give it some love!” she teased one afternoon, her laughter ringing out like music. I found myself smiling back, despite the tumult of emotions swirling inside me. “Thanks for the correction, miss tutor” i said, teasing her back.Our pottery sessions turned into something more. After class, Amber would often invite me over to her place, where she’d whip up something delicious in the kitchen. I couldn’t remember the last time someone had cooked for me, and it felt nice to be cared for, even if just a little. “Do you like pasta?” she asked one day, her hands busy

I had heard whispers about him—how he was not only intelligent but also quite handsome.

When the door swung open, I was greeted by a warm smile that instantly put me at ease. Uncle Ryan had an aura of kindness that made the vastness of the hall feel cozy. His deep, expressive eyes sparkled with intelligence.As I walked through the marble corridors, the sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting a warm glow on the ornate decorations. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of belonging here, yet there was still that lingering feeling of being an outsider.

VERA'S POV.As I sit in front of the mirror, the soft glow of the morning sun spills into the room, illuminating the delicate strands of my hair and the sparkle of the jewels adorning my neck and wrists. King Sylvester has outdone himself again. The diamond necklace he gifted me last night is breathtaking, a cascade of light that dances with every movement I make. I can’t help but smile at the thought of his face when he saw my reaction. He loves to spoil me, and I adore him for it.Every day feels like a fairy tale. Breakfast in bed, luxurious spa treatments, and the most exquisite gowns to wear to our evening gatherings. Sylvester’s affection is wrapped in every gift, every gesture.

The Kings Captive CHAPTER 63: INTRODUCTION.
VERA'S POV.“I'm introducing you to my friends and other members of the park today” Sylvester had told me early this morning when I woke up.“Huh” I was confused.Knowing I was a very shy type and I hated congested places.“Don't worry baby, they'll all like you and you'll too” he assured me.Deep down, I was disturbed but I didn't let it show, in other words not to prolong things.“Alright then” I said.I took a shower, washed my greasy hair. Wore a loyal Luna's gown. I looked beautiful in the gown, as I stood on the giant mirror admiring myself.Then Sylvester walked In, he was dressed already. His dress sense was part of the reasons I fell for him, he knows what fits him so much and he always looked stunning in them.“My angel,” he said, smiling at me.“Your beauty radiates, even the sun can't relate” he praised me.“You’ll never stop flattering me”I answered.“Of course not, baby” he replied.…The lights flickered and pulsed around us as we entered the club, the music thumping in
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 61 ; A NEW FRIEND.
DEREK'S POV.The pottery class was a strange mix of excitement and anxiety for me. I had signed up on a whim, hoping to find a new hobby to distract myself from the memories of Vera. As I shuffled into the studio, the scent of clay and paint filled the air, mingling with the soft chatter of my classmates. That’s when I saw a lady. She was sitting at a wheel, her long hair cascading down her back, and her hazel eyes sparkled with a kind of warmth that instantly drew me in. We were paired for a project, and as we worked together, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between her and Vera. The way she focused on her craft, the laugh that escaped her lips when she made a mistake—it all felt familiar yet refreshing. It was as if I was meeting a new side of something I thought I had lost forever. “What's your name?” I'd asked her.“I'm Amber, what's yours?" she said, smiling at me.“Umm, Derek,” I replied.“Such a nice name” she complimented.And I just smiled. No doubt Amber was a
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
