All Chapters of HEART OF AVALON: BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS LYCAN KING: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lyra's POV "Have you finally decided you'd rather die than obey?" The voice thundered through my tiny room before another heavy fist slammed against the door. I squeezed my eyes shut, Terror coiled tightly in my chest. Every knock meant the same thing—another punishment. I forced my exhausted body off the old mattress and walked toward the door. Before I could turn the handle, the voice snapped again. "How much longer do you plan to keep Madam Vespera waiting?" My name is Lyra Avalon, the last living member of my family. My parents and brother died fighting a war for the wolves. Yes... the wolves. Though I know I'm human, in this realm, humans exist solely to serve as slaves to the werewolves. Yet, even fellow humans, who should support one another, loathe and scorn me. The werewolves abuse me more than any other slave in the pack house... while the humans see it as an opportunity to do the same... And someone turning up to deliver punishment, for whatever reason, was a regula

The silence in the hallway was suffocating. Every servant, guard, and maid kept their heads bowed, too frightened to breathe too loudly. The Head Maid remained on her knees, trembling violently."Your Highness... please forgive me," she sobbed. "I only wanted to maintain discipline," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The excuse only fueled my anger.I looked down at her without a trace of sympathy, only utter disgust. How can a woman be so cruel? Even if she was a werewolf, she was still a woman. Yet she had the heart to torture another woman—a frail girl who could barely stand. Looking at that tiny body covered in bruises, I couldn't imagine what threat she could possibly pose. "Discipline?" I repeated. "You call starving a defenseless girl for three days discipline?" I said angrily.My fists clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms. A slave... punished over a single loaf of bread.No one with such a petite body should have been forced to endure such cruelty.

Vespera's POVI couldn't bear to look anyone in the eye after the Prince demoted me to an ordinary maid. I cursed myself for being too careless, if only I had secretly carried out my punishment on that b*tch, I wouldn't have found myself in this mess. I never imagined Prince Kael, who never interfered in the affairs of slaves, would suddenly care about one. I was in this mess because of that witch, it's all her fault and she must pay for what she did to me. The slaves no longer respected me. They no longer feared me. And I couldn't do a thing to them because Prince Kael had guards watching my every move. I couldn't even lay a finger on that wretch without being caught...not now that she was under Prince Kael's protection. If only the Alpha King were here, none of this would have happened."I wasn't even given a decent room or proper mattress to sleep on. The Prince ordered that I be moved into Lyra's filthy little rat hole." I yelled angrily.There has to be someone who hates that dem

Lyra's POV I was on my way to answer Prince Kael's summons when I crossed paths with Ava. As she brushed past me, she leaned closer and whispered something that made my blood run cold. "You'd better watch your back." My heart pounded in my chest. I couldn't quite understand why she hated me so much, but I knew one thing—I had to stay as far away from her as possible. I couldn't possibly tell Prince Kael. I still didn't understand why he was suddenly being so kind to me. Lost in my thoughts, I failed to realize I had already arrived at the royal garden. I spotted Prince Kael seated on a bench in the garden and I immediately became terrified. I was taken aback....seeing how nice and gentle he was to me. It felt so strange receiving such a kind treatment from anyone, especially not from the wolf prince. I wanted to walk around the garden so badly. I've always loved flowers but I was too afraid to ask for permission to look around the garden. When I finally did, I couldn't have be

Alpha King Lucien's POV I sat on Alpha Derek's throne in Silver Crest Pack council hall, my patience long exhausted... It seemed they had mistaken my patience for weakness...I turned towards his council and they shivered in fear but I could not care less. I turned to Alpha Derek and he immediately lowered his head in fear "I have been here for two days now but none of you could find out the reason for the rogues attacking every pack excluding yours." I thundered. "Do you take me for a fool?" "I...I...I, Alpha king please give me a little time to gather the information." Derek said. "Ohh. A little time you say? And how little can that be." "Was giving you two days not enough for anything you want to find out." I stated coldly with anger laced in my voice. "I'm giving you three more days to provide the evidence I need or Watch me raze your pack to the ground." "Yes... yes my king. Three days is enough. Thank you, your Majesty." Derek said. I loo
