All Chapters of Captured by the Cruel Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

*Fiona*The howling grows closer as I enter the castle. My father, King Alden, summoned me from the battlefield where Solara, our kingdom, is fighting desperately to stop the onslaught from our enemies, Caldara, the kingdom to the north. I am not pleased to have been called away from battle when we were just about to launch a counterstrike, and my entourage of guards knows it.Irritated, I stomp into the castle, the sound of my boots echoing off the marble floor. My father leaves it to me and his other commanders to make decisions on the battlefield while he remains safely at the castle, overseeing troop movements through messages that come and go in the mind-link. If he had seen what I was looking at, perhaps he wouldn’t have called me back, but I had no choice but to obey.I make my way into the war room, throwing the door open so hard it slams into the wall. Every eye turns toward me. A group of older advisors gathers around the table, their hunched shoulders barely straightening a

*Fiona*“They’re right outside the gate, Sire,” my father’s advisor says to him. “They want to discuss terms of ending the war.”I stand outside of the war room door, listening intently. I doubt my father knows I’m here. I was about to walk in to give him an update on some information I’d gathered from the commanders to the west, the ones keeping an eye on the border with Malantra, but now, I pause to listen to their discussion.“Fuck,” my father mutters. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him use that word before. “We can’t just let them in. I don’t trust Varek. He’s an animal. Letting him in here to discuss terms of our surrender would likely result in him storming the castle. He’d kill us all.”My eyes widen in horror at the word. I can’t believe anyone would be so cruel, so evil as to violate the terms of a truce to discuss the ends of the war. But then, I think about some of the awful stories I’ve heard about Alpha King Varek–that he’s slaughtered women and children in villages in his

*Varek*I found her. I wasn’t even looking for her yet, but here she is. I know this is the princess I’ve been looking for, despite the fact that she’s dressed like a warrior. Her long auburn hair falls around her shoulders in soft waves, and her jade eyes glow with a passion that gives her an ethereal look. No doubt, this has to be Princess Fiona.When she stands defiantly in front of me and asks that we have mercy on her people, I can’t help but smirk. If her father had allowed me into the castle to discuss my demands, we wouldn’t be in this situation at this moment, now would we? I wish I could ask her that, but since I can’t mind-link with her, I’ll have to remind her of it later.I can mind-link with my own men, though. “Curtis,” I say to one of my more trusted guards. “I found the princess. She’s in the entryway of the castle. Bring Michael, and come and collect her so I can hunt down the king.”“Yes, Alpha,” Curtis says immediately.I continue to stand there, locking eyes with
