All Chapters of The ruthless Alpha king captive mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

IRIS POVI woke up to a heavy, suffocating silence that didn't feel right. My body was completely exhausted from the endless birthday activities that had taken over the afternoon. Although the pack was still supposed to be celebrating an after party of my eighteenth birthday downstairs, the festive noise had vanished.Today was the day I finally met my wolf, a majestic creature with fur as white as freshly fallen snow. Her arrival had pushed our entire pack into a joyous double celebration. Overwhelmed by the excitement and the heavy shift in my energy, I had fallen asleep early in the evening.When my eyes opened, complete darkness had already settled over the world outside. My bedroom was softly lit by a lantern left behind by the maids. I gently stood up from the mattress, realizing I was still wearing my elaborate birthday dress. I stepped out of my room into the hallway, raising my voice to call for the guards or maids. No one answered my calls, but a sudden muffled noise fro

RYKER POV"What do we do with the girl, Alpha?" one of my men asked, bowing his head respectfully.I stopped walking and turned back to look at the unconscious girl. She was draped weakly across the back of my horse, her long hair tangled and pale against the dark leather.A cruel smirk spread across my face as I stared at her. You look so peaceful right now, little wolf. Enjoy it while it lasts."Throw her in the dungeon," I commanded, my voice cold and unyielding.The guard bowed immediately and barked orders at two other men. They lifted her limp body from the horse, dragging her toward the dark, damp stairs of the castle's lowest levels.I watched them carry her away, my chest tightening with a familiar, burning rage. I had intended to kill Alpha Gideon Winter from the very moment I stepped into his territory.We had hated each other for years, always staying far away from each other's borders to avoid bloodshed. We had a silent agreement to never cross paths, and it worked until

IRIS POV“Wake that lazy wolf!” A loud woman's voice jolted me awake. My heart leapt in my throat, I quickly stood up from the cold floor and crouched to my knee, watching helplessly as the cell door rattled open with a deafening screech.Three women in black and white uniform stepped in, the one leading them was older, her face looking stern. Her gaze drifted to the tray of food I left untouched before focusing back on me.Her lips curved into a cruel mocking smile and she waved a finger at the two maids.“Drag her out!”My eyes widened in fear. Was the Alpha trying to mate me now?The thought made bile rise in my throat.“Wait—” I tried to protest but the maids weren't listening. They unfastened the chains that held my hands and cornered me like a predator, dragging me up to my feet.“Let me go!” I screamed, my bare feet scraping against the rough floor as they hauled me out of the cell.“Where are you taking me?” I asked continuously but got no answer. Other maids and guards outs

IRIS POV I scrubbed and swept different floors for what felt like eternity, my arm ached and my knees throbbed from kneeling on the cold stone for too long. The rough bristles of the brush had designed raw patches on my palms, and the water in the bucket had turned a murky from all the dirt I had pulled out of the cracks. I didn't know how many hours had passed. Time moved differently her, it was slow like a wading mud. I wiped the sweat dripping from the corner of my face, and the smell hit me making my stomach twist. I smelled like filth and despair. My once beautiful birthday dress was now torn, stained and clinging to my skin. Ugh! So irritating! The head maid had come earlier, her beady eyes scanning my work with cruel satisfaction. if she saw that I finished a job early, she would keep giving me more chores until my body gave out. So I slowed down, dragging the brush across the stones in lazy circles. It didn't matter. She still found more for me to do. "Don’t y
