The Kings Captive Chapter 51 : Moonlit Rescue
Vera's POVThe alleyway was desolate; all that could be observed were some scattered debris and a few dim, feeble lights. Looking towards the sky, I saw only one single silver moon and its soothing rays. Shadows stretched into the darkness, appearing to avoid the city lights and hanging from edges like quiet, living voids. It felt like it had been some time since I’d say something so hopelessly dramatic. There was so much so I had begun to walk without a purpose giving my back over to the harrowing silence.One could say it was a gloomy day if you envisioned it in a conventional light ~ because it was not a day at all; it was night. The time had come for me to leave the house and heed the advice of my brother Niko, throughout the day I had been feeling quite anxious, almost into the extreme. The whole world seemed to betray me - shadowy figures moving behind the shadows, watching with an eye that only existed in the depths of a dream.Until suddenly, my inebriated thoughts were sha

(Sylvester’s POV) Last night’s memories depress me because I know how difficult it is for Vera. That will always be the last mug shot I get to see as a host! In all the chaos of rescuing Vera, I was surely in fight-or-flight mode, and the moments after the incident are now coming to light.Indeed, trust worthy was Vera. Unlike Annalise’s betrayal which cut like a knife. There was no wonder what I had to do now. “Annalise, there is no way I am going to overlook your actions,” I warned in low tone that held no threat.“From this moment on, you are prohibited from setting foot into the kingdom anywhere.” Annalise visibily angered violently turned her head away, but I did not move. “You There, take her out.” ‘Just as I ordered warm bodies, escort her out! Focus concentrate focus!’ This is why Annalise was important.Now I will concentrate on the single person that matters to me the most – Vera. As I came closer to vera, my heart was all in everywhere tell my excuse to her.“Vera, I owe

(Vera's POV)That night saw the night sky morph into a giant canvas of sparkling jewels with the full moon throwing its silvery rays onto the palace gardens..The tension in the air was really tangible as our guests waited for the Lunar Ceremony to begin. They grumbled amidst themselves silently beneath their breathe. To my left stood Sylvester, his eyes sparkling with tears of love. He was so overwhelmed. It was so obvious. The both of us stood side by side facing the Lunar Altar, polished to show ancient symbols. “Under the light of the moon, we have assembled to unite Vera and Sylvester in a sacred bond.” A chant began to pick up in the atmosphere, saying that energy from the moon was rushing through me. “Sylvester, share your vows with us again,” said Eliana. He did so, his voice trembling with emotion. “Vera, from the first moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew it; you are my fate. I pledge to love you and keep you safe — through all shadows and lights. I promise to be there fo

*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.

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 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
