last update publish date: 2026-07-18 21:09:18
LUCIEN'S POV

I postponed the judgment of the slave. Calling her my mate left a bitter taste in my mouth. She could never be my Luna. We could have worked it out if only she was really human. My kingdom has been at war with her kind for centuries and she is from the bloodline used for the peace treaty between the two kingdoms. I postponed it with the excuse that I have an Emergency but that was really not the case. I was in constant war with my wolf. The mate bond was dealing with me.

  • HEART OF AVALON: BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING   Chapter 27: The Shadow in Our Midst

    ELOWEN'S POVThe moment I saw the giant wolf storming the woods toward us... a cold sweat broke out all over me. I vanished immediately without saying goodbye to Lyra. I appeared in my chamber and couldn't help but breathe out in relief. My heart was pounding so heavily as though it could fall into my hand if I had spent even a second in that wood. The wolf was twice the size of a normal wolf which only means it's the Alpha King of Lunaris. He could kill with a snap and that's the scariest thing about him. Many stories had been told about him and none was to be trifled with. I was buried in my thoughts when my daughter walked in."Mother, you look so lost in whatever you were thinking" she frowned.I inhaled deeply and looked at her. "It's nothing my child. How was your magic lesson today?""It was good, mother. My magic is getting stronger," she answered.I was about to ask her another question when she suddenly jerked up and her eyes turned white. She looked as though sh

  • HEART OF AVALON: BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING   Chapter 26: The Forbidden Bond

    LUCIEN'S POV The voice faded. An eerie silence settled over the room, so heavy that even the crackling fire in the heart seemed afraid to disturb it. Neither of us moved, neither of us spoke. The silver glow around Lyra's mark slowly dimmed until it disappeared beneath her skin once more, leaving behind only the sound of our uneven breathing. My chest still burned where the invisible pain had struck moments ago. Lyra pressed a trembling hand against her neck before looking at me with wide, disbelieving eyes."The... second soul?" she whispered.I frowned. "I don't know."Those three words tasted like defeat. Kings were expected to have answers but I had none.Her expression hardened. "Of course you don't."She laughed bitterly, the sound devoid of warmth. "You never know anything until it's too late."The accusation struck harder than any blade. "You rejected me." "You imprisoned me.""You allowed your people to treat me worse than an animal."She took a shaky

  • HEART OF AVALON: BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING   Chapter 25: The Mark of Regret

    LUCIEN POVWhat have I done? I marked her. I marked my rejected mate. I marked a witch. I buried my face in my palm, a bitter curse slipping past my lips. I never intended to forcefully mark her. The plan was to bring her back to the palace, lock her somewhere she couldn't escape again, and figure out why fate had cursed me with a witch as a mate. But the moment she turned her back and ran... something inside me snapped. It wasn't my wolf. I knew my wolf well enough to recognize his rage, yet this felt different. It felt older, strange, and not something that ever existed in our bloodline. It surged through my veins like wildfire, drowning every rational thought I had. Before I realized what I was doing, my fangs were already buried in her neck. I stared at her unconscious body lying across my arms.She looked so... fragile. Her face had lost every trace of color, and the tear stains on her cheeks made something tighten painfully in my chest. Why? Why did seeing her cry affect me so

  • HEART OF AVALON: BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING   Chapter 24: Fate Found Me

    LYRA'S POVI kept on running as far as my legs could carry me. I had to leave this kingdom before Valerie reported my disappearance. If I ever get taken back to that kingdom, I would not live to see the next day. The trees of the wood towered above me as though they were giants watching their prey. Branches clawed at my arms and tore at my dress, but I didn't dare slow down. My heart was pounding in my chest."Why are you suddenly running away?" The second voice in my head asked sarcastically.I knew she was the second voice because she was always a sarcastic one. She was always ready for destruction. I referred to her as 'she' because she sometimes behaved like one."And what do you mean by that?" I snapped. "Can you just leave my head? I never permitted you to enter my head."She rolled her eyes. "And does it look like I need your permission to be in your dull head?"I abruptly stopped in my tracks. "And whose head are you calling dull? My head is dull but you couldn't even stay out

  • HEART OF AVALON: BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING   Chapter 23: A Kingdom under Siege

    LUCIEN'S POV"Derek, how dare you defy me?" I let out an angry growl.Does this fool really think I'm here to negotiate with him? I had given him more time than I ever wanted to, but he still had the nerve to disobey me. Silver Crest Pack will have to change hands because this fool will be killed or taken to my most dangerous dungeon. He looked so terrified, as though he had encountered the devil. He looked like a scary little cat running away from a wolf."My King, please have mercy on me. I had a lot on my plate, that's why I forgot to gather the evidence you asked for and present it to you," he pleaded, fear washed all over him.I smirked. "And what are those that are more important than what I asked you to do? What are you hiding?" "No... nothing, my King," he stammered.I loved the fear that I always instilled in him but I had no time to waste on a fool who disobeyed my order. I was very angry at the moment but I had to control myself in order not to spoil today's ceremony.I tur

  • HEART OF AVALON: BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING   Chapter 22: Shadows and Prophecy

    LYRA'S POVSilence answered me. The shadows continued to stare at me as though I had wandered into forbidden territory.The shadows surrounded me as though I was a piece of puzzle they had waited their whole life to solve. They moved around me for a few minutes and I suddenly felt my breath seize. I felt as though a massive hand was wrapped around my neck. I struggled to free myself but all efforts were futile. Is this how I'm finally going to die? Dying in an unknown place with unknown creatures surrounding me. I gave up and accepted my fate. A voice whispered behind me. "My child, you can save yourself. You don't always have to wait for people to save you when you have the power to save yourself. Stop struggling and concentrate your mind, and think of what you want"I immediately relaxed my mind and thought of dispelling those shadows circulating around me and the choking I was feeling around my throat. A piercing shriek ripped through the darkness. My eyes flew open and I froze at
