Chained Soldier Ch 1 Novels & Stories

I heard the way their breathing changed, the way their fingers flexed as if testing the strength of their own restraint. For the first time, fear crawled up my spine. I took a step back, but there was nowhere to go. Cold iron met my skin, pressing against the exposed flesh of my shoulders, and I clenched my jaw. Then the first one moved. A soldier—one of Vael’s, judging by the dark insignia stitched into his torn shirt—staggered forward as if some kind of pull had yanked him by the throat. His lips parted, chest rising and falling in ragged breaths.

THE SOLDIER returned from battle and told the news to Chloe who was sitting on the chair with no emotions shown on her face. She was silent and so is everything and everybody around her. She returned to her house and when she heard the news, the soldier was afraid of what her reaction might be. Instead, she was just listening. "Is that it?" she questioned while eyeing the soldier up and down and he nodded as he held his shoulder. He was bleeding profusely. "Y-yes, ma'am. Ms. Eva has decided to flee with them," he answered while his head bowed down.

The General saw his man and signaled him to step forward. “Chain her.” He said, and the soldier worked quickly in securing her wrists and ankles. The gold chains weighed her down. The soldier stood ramrod straight looking straight ahead waiting for his command. “ Wait for us by the door.” The soldier saluted him, turned and left the room. They were alone once more. He grabbed the chain links that held her wrists together. The motion made her falter and he steadied her movements. His perfectly chiseled face was inches away from hers and she felt anger bubbling up in her.

Killian roared. Instead of trying to lift his massive weight, the Alpha used his single good leg to violently pivot his entire lower body sideways, his heavy iron chains sweeping across the floorboards like a scythe. The dense links caught the vanguard’s lead ankle with a bone-shattering crunch, throwing the soldier’s balance completely off as his heavy armor carried him forward.

The king’s men were burning every house where a cursed child might be born. The door splintered. A soldier in black armor stepped through the smoke, his sword slick with rain. “By decree of the crown—” he began. The woman clutched her newborn tighter. “You will not have her!” A flash of steel. A scream cut short. Then silence—except for the infant’s cry and the thunder rolling over the hills. The soldier hesitated. The baby’s eyes, half-open, glowed faintly gold. He backed away, murmuring a prayer, and fled into the storm.

So, what went wrong with him? Suddenly the wind blew his hair away from his face and she saw his eyes. Those burning eyes didn't belong to a man who was tired or close to giving up. He was unmoving only to gather his strength and then with a feral roar of wrath, he rolled over. The soldiers fell from his back and he was quick to surge to his feet, his muscles taut, quivering with fury as he sought to be free, but the chains restrained him. Before he could get far, a whip fell on his chest, tearing his skin open.

They moved in unison, predators that had been hunting far too long. I turned to run but a hand like an iron trap clamped onto my hair and yanked me backward. Pain ripped through my scalp as I hit the ground. My breath fled my lungs and before I could recover, a boot pressed down on my shoulder, pinning me like an insect to stone. I couldn’t even scream. The third soldier crouched beside me, grip tightening around my chin forcing my face upward. “Who are you trying to reach?” he snarled. “Where are you headed?”

chapter47 I felt water splash on me and my eyes immediately went open . I tried my best to make sure that I tried remembering where I was but it was just as if my head was blank and I couldn't think about anything anymore . I tried moving forward and that was when I found out that I was chained to the walls,both my legs and my hands were chained and that prevented me from moving . I looked around and I saw three guards stand by the door,two beside me and one beside the alpha .

The curse dragged me toward him. Kaden’s scream tore through the chamber. Kael roared. Cassandra sobbed. The stranger slammed his fist into the floor. Damon laughed. And Darius froze. His eyes widened in horror. He whispered, “No. Not like this.” But I could not stop. My hand reached for him. My body crawled toward him. The curse choosing for me. And just before my fingers touched the floor at his feet the doors behind him burst open. A soldier ran inside, pale and shaking.
