Romans First-Person POV Fantasy & Histoires Slave

For twenty years, Lyra has been nothing more than a slave despised by both werewolves and humans. Beaten, humiliated, and treated as less than any human slave in Lunaris, she dreams of only one thing— freedom. But fate has other plans. She is rejected by the very king who is destined to protect her. Haunted by voices and visions she cannot understand, Lyra begins to question her very existence. The forbidden mark awakens an ancient bond, binding her soul to the ruthless Alpha King Lucien Draven. A bond forbidden since the Great War. A bond that should never have existed. The moment he leaves his mark on her, the impossible begins to happen. The Royal Moon Crystal cracks. The Sacred Seal that kept witches and werewolves apart begins to weaken. An ancient prophecy whispers the name of the one who carries the long-lost magic—the Heart of Magic. Hunted by enemies, betrayed, and surrounded by secrets, Lyra must uncover the truth of who she really is before an ancient darkness is unleashed upon the world. As ancient enemies edge closer to war and destiny demands impossible sacrifices, Lucien must choose between the laws of Lunaris sworn by his ancestors... and the woman his soul refuses to let go. Most destinies demand courage. Some demand sacrifice. Lyra must choose between saving the world... or saving herself.

“You can’t force me to do this, Ash.” I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself as he stepped closer again. “I don’t belong to you.” His soft chuckle sent shivers down my spine. And when his face neared mine, his fingers tightening around my throat, his whispered words brushing against my ear, I knew that I was going to fall for him again. “Oh, but you’ve been mine from the very beginning, little lamb.” *** Lena Gray has lost everything. After the death of her boyfriend—the only person who ever cared about her—her life spirals into darkness. Desperate and on the verge of ending her life, she is suddenly abducted and sold in a human auction. Ash Ravencroft, a devil with a lethal charm, claims her. But he hasn’t come just to take, he offers a deal. In exchange for saving her from despair, he wants only one thing: her body, in ways far darker and more sinful than she ever imagined. Bound by a sinful contract, will she break free from the darkness, or succumb to the temptation that might consume her whole?

“I hate you.” I force my head up until I'm glaring into those green eyes. “I. Hate. You.” For the briefest moment, something shifts in those dead eyes, but it's gone before I can decide whether I imagined it. And maybe I did. Maybe I'm just desperate for proof that I'd gotten under his skin. He looks down at me, and all I see is that same cold expression. No. I imagined it. My fists. My words. My hatred. None of it reached him. Nothing I ever do will be enough to reach whatever is left of him. “Are you finished?” --- Eira Vale has spent her entire life hunting vampires. Becoming one of their prisoners was never part of the plan. Captured by Kaine Wroth—the ancient vampire feared by both humans and his own kind—Eira is dragged into a world where escape seems impossible. Worse, the mark he leaves on her neck convinces his household that she isn't a captive at all... They believe she's his future queen. Forced to play along to stay alive, Eira searches for a way out while plotting Kaine's death. But the longer she remains in his manor, the more impossible Kaine becomes to understand. He doesn't want her blood. He wants something else—something he believes only she can give him. And if he's right... everything Eira believes about herself is a lie.
