The werewolf emerged from the ruins, its silhouette accentuated by the bright clouds that offered the creature a rich backdrop. It was ready for a fight.King Sylvesters was huddled in the SUV, keenly watching the raging behemoth and his guards engaged in a duel to the death. His guards, a blend of human and werewolves disembarking from the vehicles in a bid to eliminate these wild creatures.Deploying them was premised on a number of reasons. The most important being the maintenance of security across all counties within the North Western Hemisphere.Three of the guards were positioned on the hood of their cars taking shots at the grisly monster. However, this was unpredictable. The shots were only possible once the target was locked and if this was not possible, they remained ineffective till the target was on point.Meanwhile, the beast was wild. it lunged at the men, leashing it's claws at them. The talons ripped the occipital bun of one of the men, producing a copious amount of b
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 9 : THE GREAT ESCAPE
Looming ahead was King Sylvester's castle. Accordingly, the vehicles came to halt before the ornate castle gates, its towering spires creating a sense of awe anytime the castle was approached.Reminiscing on the battle which just took place, I observed that the bloody memory was etched in my mind. The images of the harrowing sight kept replaying in my head like a broken kaleidoscope.King Sylvester got out of the vehicle with the air of an arrogant victor, every move reflecting his disposition as a battle ready fiend. His guards flanked him despite looking weary but vigilant.As we made our way inside the Gothic castle, a tall, blond haired Dante Sims, the head of security, emerged from the arched doorway, his countenance contorted into a frown. He engaged in an exchange with King Sylvester instantly.I conjectured something was off.They muttered a few unintelligible words and I could see Sylvester suddenly exude a look of apprehension. His jawline tightening immediately.Dante accom
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 10 : THE ALPHA’S THREAT
I dashed towards the perimeter wall, my legs, in frantic athletic strides, moved as fast as they could carry me. Heaving with each breath, I could feel the chilly night air searing my lungs. The jaunty stone of the castle slowly blurred past me, but the burden of it—or him rather—still weighed down my spirit.Freedom seemed to be beckoning at me with every inch covered.The imposing perimeter fence loomed ahead, sharp iron spikes like the grotesque talons of a hideous beast appeared to be reaching for the sky, imbuing fear in potential escapees like myself. The moonlight accentuated its appearance with malevolent intensity. I had no choice than to scale this wall. This was the last hurdle that had to be surmounted to taste freedom. This area was devoid of the presence of any guards; Slipping out before anyone noticed seemed to be my escape route.But as I got closer to the fence, a petulant growl sliced through the cold airMy feet were rooted to a spot out of fear. My heart skipped
The Kings Captive CHAPTER ELEVEN: FOR VERA
DEREK'S POV:The message emerged just as the first shaft of dawn filtered through the heavy clump of trees, casting a muted glow across the morning skies. I could hardly sleep and had spent most of the night, walking around the cramped room which had become my recluse since Vera had been taken by King Sylvester.A bell tolled in the distance, signaling the gathering of all inhabitants of Callahan county where the old low slung town hall building was located in the heart of the town.A nagging feeling welled up in my gut - another condition that has become prominent with the loss of Vera.The county hall was a dingy monument and a far cry of its historic past - a stark reminder of the nostalgic times in the North - Western Hemisphere. Life used to be easy and less stressful but in recent times the reverse has been the case.Approaching the hall, murmurs from its occupants were unmistakably evident. Whispers of "...Perry Moore's death..." and "...King Sylvester and his goons did it...
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 12: CONCOCTING A PLAN
Alone in my room, a deluge of thoughts on how to rescue Vera flooded my mind. Her face haunted my dreams and I was bound to undo the error I had caused.Suddenly there was an abrupt rap on my door. It was Amelia, her voice almost drowned by several other gruffy male voices.I paced to the door and peeped through the keyhole - the din beyond the door becoming awful."Open the door, Derek," Amelia snapped.Another guttural voice lashed out: "Derek, open the goddamn door!"I was chagrined by the wild shouting, prompting my response: "What is it? Have I done anything wrong?"Amelia yelled: "You abandoned me for some time now. How do I care for this pregnancy and our unborn baby?An infuriating and gritty voice retorted: "Open the door!"The banging on the door persisted.Hesitantly, I reached for the door latch, Amelia continued ranting. Obviously the outcome of the meeting at the town hall had done nothing to improve my reputation.Amelia’s words hit me, causing me to be sympathetic at m

"But this is not just about mere talk",said the only female among us named Kara. "If we are going to do it, we should be determined to do it"Kline's eyebrows furrowed, his thoughts engrossed on deliberations regarding the fight for survival against King Sylvester. "This meeting is apt judging by the events that have taken place across the three main counties within Los Angeles. We have continued to bear the brunt for years. It is now to come up with a plan to end King Sylvester's oppressive tendencies."The bald headed man named Spock Waldon who was seated close to me, intoned, his voice crisp and deep: "Earlier at the town hall meeting, a veteran recommended the deployment of a mole within King Sylvester's domicile. We need someone to volunteer in this regard.”As I listened to Spock, my mind drifted. A mole in King Sylvester’s castle? There was a sense of tension in the room, especially as eyes began roving between each other. Each person seated on the desk were trying to make wc
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 14 : RYANS GOLDEN NUGGETS
The opening of the door made me jolt suddenly.As I opened my eyes, I could see Lorna, arms akimbo and looking cross. She went into a tirade. "You are such a wild one, Vera. How could you think of escaping? You should consider yourself privileged for him to beg you to birth him an heir, even Queen Annalise finds it difficult to believe he is treating you nicely."Arms and legs were in chains once again. The attempted escape had prompted an extra level of vigilance among the personnel within the castle.My spirit was dampened by the failed escape attempt and I almost felt like dying. Lorna's words further exacerbated my hapless state and this saddened me greatly.I was stoic and my gaze dropped as Lorna rambled about the room, looking apprehensive. The chains jangled softly with every movement of mine, the sounds signaling my failed venture. I could feel the humid stone of the castle walls closing in on me, debilitating every ounce of energy in my system. Lorna suddenly halted, gasping
The Kings Captive CHAPTER 15 : THE GREAT SHIFT
The surging vehicles marked by the growling engines and squealing tyres sent me jolting out of my slumber. My eyes drifted quickly to the foggy window, the window pane illuminated by the shimmering headlight of the numerous vehicles that arrived on the extensive castle ground.With the chains scraping the floor, I paced to the window and glanced below at the vehicles that were static at the concourse.King Sylvester had disembarked, exuding an air of pride and arrogance as he watched two grim faced men dragged out from the storage bay of the van. They were in chains and looked battered.From my vantage point, there was a soft knock on the door to the room I watched the brazen spectacle below. Lorna's voice sounded from behind the doorway "It's time to go, Vera. The King wants you.”Soon the doors flung open, Lorna and some guards hurriedly walked in.. One of them immediately unlocked the chains that bound my wrist and ankle.With a curt hand gesture, they led me through a labyrinth of
