Imprisoned by the Alpha King

She had no idea that another world existed apart from the human realm until she became lost in the woods. She dashed through the dense forest, evading three black wolves that were relentlessly chasing her. The wolves growled, baring their fangs as they closed in on her. Kira knew they would catch her any moment, and she couldn't understand why they were pursuing her. It was meant to be a fun day of sightseeing with her friends, but she had gotten lost when she excused herself to relieve herself and was unexpectedly attacked by wolves while trying to find her way back. Kira kept running until she stumbled upon a city she had never expected to find amidst the woods. She turned around, but there were no more traces of the forest, only tall buildings and roads with cars and vehicles bustling through. "How did this happen?" she wondered aloud, bewildered by the sudden transformation of her surroundings. Realizing that the wolves were still hot on her trail, she let out a cry and continued running. Perplexed, Kira couldn't comprehend how the wolves were able to roam freely in the city without attracting attention or being captured by the authorities. In her world, wild animals were kept far away from human settlements, so it surprised her that no one came to her aid or tried to intervene with the pursuing wolves. Desperately seeking refuge, she scanned her surroundings but couldn't find a place to hide. Every person she turned to for assistance shut the door on her face. Kira attempted to cross the congested road to the other side, but the overwhelming traffic and the wolves closing in on her made it impossible. Facing the imminent threat of capture, Kira believed that it was better to die than to be caught by the wolves. With a resolute decision, she braved the oncoming traffic, expecting to be struck by a car. However, before disaster could strike, a hand reached out and pulled her back. "I've got you!" a man exclaimed, forcefully pushing her to the ground. As Kira lifted her head to look at him, she let out a scream, for the man stood before her completely naked, and behind him, the wolves transformed into human beings. "This can't be real!" Kira shrieked, collapsing to the ground, her eyes shut tight. Overwhelmed by the revelation that werewolves were indeed real, she succumbed to unconsciousness. "I've apprehended another human," the man who had grabbed her and pushed her back instructed the two wolves who had transformed into humans. "Inform the beta that another human has breached the portal," he commanded. "Yes, Gamma," the men replied, as they lifted Kira from the ground and led her to a waiting car on the side of the road. They settled into the black Venza, which swiftly sped away. "Did you catch another human?" the driver of the car inquired of the two men. "Yes," one of them responded. "Like the others, she will be one of the prey for the king's birthday tomorrow," the man muttered, his gaze fixed upon Kira. "A beautiful woman like her is about to meet her end!" The driver spoke no more, leaving the conversation at that. Kira groaned in pain as she awoke, feeling a stiff neck. Her eyes widened as she looked up at the ceiling, where water was dripping. Startled, she quickly stood up when a drop of water splashed onto her face. "Can you please tell me where I am?" she asked, surveying her surroundings. She realized she was trapped inside a cage or makeshift cell with a leaking ceiling, constructed out of sticks. Kira glanced around and noticed that she was sharing the cage with five other girls. "You look as though you never expected to be here," one of them, a young black girl, said with pity in her voice. "I wonder how you got lost." "What do you mean?" Kira placed her hands on her hips, studying the faces of the other girls, trying to discern if they were like the wolves she had encountered earlier. "Why are you staring at us like that?" one of the girls asked, rising from her seat and taking Kira's hand. "Don't be afraid, little girl, I'm a human too!" Instead of smiling, Kira screamed in response to the girl's friendly gesture. "You have whip marks on your body. How...?" Kira's voice cracked as she touched the girl's body, covered in various marks. "Why are we imprisoned? I'll call the police to rescue us!" She reached into her pocket to find her phone, but to her dismay, it was nowhere to be found. The other girls mocked her instead. "What's so funny? I'm trying to save us!" Kira exclaimed, pushing the girl aside and joining the others, holding their hands. "Back home, my father works as a cop, and..." "You're gone for good once you enter their portal, girl. In the world of werewolves, you cease to exist in the human realm. My name is Mara, and I welcome you to your doom," Mara grinned, crossing her arms. Kira could only stare at the girls, noticing the whip marks on their skin. "There were ten of us before, and while..." Their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps, causing Mara to fall silent. Kira stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cage. "Let us out of here!" she yelled. "If you don't, I'll call the police on you! Girls, I..." None of them said a word, aware that speaking to a werewolf could result in death. The remaining girls ignored her and let her foolishly speak. When Kira attempted to speak again, the door to the cage swung open, and one of the men who had accompanied the other five men slapped her across the face. "You're going to call the police on us?" one of the men chuckled. "What do you expect us to do, Gamma Felix?" the men asked their companion. "Give her ten lashes before we take her to the castle," Felix ordered. Kira was dragged out of the cage and swiftly pinned to the ground by two men. "What do you think you're doing? This is barbaric! People shouldn't be subjected to such treatment. It's against the rules..." Kira screamed as one of the men struck her back with a long, thick black whip. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She had never anticipated being captured and taken away by werewolves. When the men had finished, they hauled her to her feet and thrust her towards Felix, who gripped her throat tightly. "You pitiful little human, remember this: never speak when a werewolf is speaking!" Felix bellowed at her. Kira pleaded with Felix, but he slapped her across the face once more. "If you value your life, don't make eye contact with a royal!" Felix warned her before shoving her back to the ground. Spitting out blood, Kira fell flat on her face. Never before had she encountered such a merciless man as Gamma Felix, who despised her from the moment he laid eyes on her. "Bring her and the other girls. They will make excellent prey for the king's birthday celebration," Felix commanded before walking away. One of the guards yanked Kira up and forcefully pushed her forward. She stumbled but was caught by Mara, who wrapped her arm around Kira's waist to support her. "Take it easy, girl," Mara said. Kira didn't utter a word, only nodding as they were escorted out of the prison that held them captive. They were led into a truck and forced to sit on an elongated bench inside. Once they were alone, Kira burst into tears again. "What have we done?" she questioned. "We have entered a world of werewolves," Mara replied.
