All Chapters of The Outcast Claimed by the King: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My hands gripped the countertop so hard my knuckles turned white, while the rest of my body trembled so violently allowing the tears of the past to roll down my cheeks faster than I could stop them. The scenes which had played through my head over and over again displaying in my mind so vividly, it was as though I was still there, trapped.“Can somebody help me?! I want my mummy and daddy!” The desperate cries from the little girl alone and lost in the forest ring out through my mind, her tiny hands trembling with fear and the forming frostbite on the tips of her fingers stinging.“Somebody, help me!” The even louder voice seemed to ring in my ears and echo throughout my head, my breaths leaving my lips in shaky pants as I reminded myself that I was safe now, but still, her cries wouldn’t stop and grew louder and louder pulling me deeper and deeper into panic.“Eli!” The voice of my brother Henry, calling from somewhere in the house snapped me from the nightmare flashback I was having

The border guard continued to drag me through the dark and daunting woods and towards the large and towering building right in the centre known as the pack house. Such a building was the main hub of any pack, if this man was telling the truth and the Alpha King was visiting, this is exactly where he’d be. Even though that thought should absolutely terrify me, the werewolf kind as a whole despises rogues, they see us as dirty, impure and dangerous, most even if we weren’t trespassing on their land, would try to kill us due to this hatred. Yes, some groups of rogues can be awful and will destroy many packs because they don’t agree with that way of life but some of us, as like myself, didn’t have any other choice but to become a rogue. With this in mind, I knew at the end of the day either the Alpha or the Alpha King himself would probably kill me, not only because I was a rogue and had killed one of his border guards but to send a message. But as I’m dragged so quickly into the build

“Mummy… daddy please!” The silence which had engulfed my every thought was soon broken by the same little girl's voice, her tone so shaky and full of fear as she stood lost in the middle of a large and crowded wood. “I wanna go home! Ethan!” She cried even louder but saying a name I had never heard before this point, it was as though my mind was slowly unlocking more of the memories I had blocked out through the years, who was this Ethan? Her cries swirled around my head faster and faster, getting louder and louder, it was as though I was suffocating in the sound. Taking the biggest breath of air into my lungs, my eyes snap open sending my body in the sitting position, sweat seeming to drip from my forehead as my breathing quickened as though I had run miles in my sleep. Even though that was one of the shortest flashbacks I’d ever had, it was a new one… who could Ethan be… was he a relative of mine that I somehow remembered after all of these years later. Why was I only now just re

Following beside Leo as though I was some lost puppy out in the rain, I could have shuddered from fear as we passed each person, but the beauty of the building I had found myself in was mesmerising, my eyes scanning each wall and ceiling completely transfixed by each painting or even magical swirl that the terror I have been taught to feel as rogue to stay alive, took a back seat. Reaching two even larger double doors covered in gold, men dressed in posh suits with swords at their sides reach over and open the doors wide, the blast of natural light which poured from the room almost blinding me. Leo, who seemed to greatly enjoy how impressed I was of his home, pulls me into the room which was even more breathtaking up close. A large dining room table, bigger than my entire house that I shared with Henry, stood in the centre of the room, decorative pieces littered the table, all placed so neatly in the centre as though all had been measured so meticulously. At the very head of the ta

Once I calmed down after my little episode, Leo suggested for us to take a walk around the palace to clear my head a little more. He had some meetings he was scheduled to attend later that afternoon so, this was the only time he and I would see each other. Even though I had attempted to escape him multiple times, the fact that he and I would need to be apart, it caused a little sadness to grip my heart, something my wolf sniggered at. So, walking side by side through the beautiful but winding halls of his palace, I was given my first real tour of the incredible building I had landed myself in. The palace held two large and spectacular ballrooms, one was used for more common visitors to the palace while the other, that was where the most prestigious visitors would gather to celebrate. A large throne room which as the name suggests, sat two grand thrones made completely out of gold, the one in front the biggest whilst the one beside it, looked somewhat smaller but still beautiful.
