All Chapters of The Kings Captive: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

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 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

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 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

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
