LOGINGAMMA SILAS RAVENSHADE POV The palace had been awake long before sunrise. Servants hurried through the grand hallways carrying freshly washed curtains, polished silver trays, and baskets overflowing with flowers. Knights marched across the courtyard in perfect formation while stable hands rushed to groom the royal horses until their coats gleamed beneath the morning sun. Today wasn't an ordinary day. The Alpha King and Beta King were returning home from their trip. I've noticed Prince Kael spending a lot of time with that human slave lately, and I still don't understand why.. I hope he doesn't fall out with the Alpha king. He was someone who doesn't interfere in anyone's business but he has gone as far as demoting the palace head maid for her. I hope he knows what he's doing. Every servant wore a nervous expression, moving like flashes across the palace halls. Every single being In Lunaris Kingdom feared Alpha Lucien. Every guard stood a little straighter than usual, None wanted
Lyra's POVI 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 been more
Kael's POV"Impossible..."A strange aura lingered around Lyra. It was faint, almost impossible to detect, but I knew what I had felt. No human should possess such an aura... yet she did. Onyx was the first to sense it. And since then, he has fallen unusually silent. Moments ago, he had been eager to have her by our side, yet now he refused to utter another word. His strange behavior made me wonder if he knew something I didn't. Whatever this mysterious aura meant, I would uncover the truth with time. For now, I pushed the thought aside and focused on having Lyra here.Lyra still stood several feet away, her head bowed, her shoulders trembling slightly. She looked as though she was waiting to be punished rather than being spoken to."Are you still afraid of me?" I asked.She flinched at the sound of my voice but didn't answer."Look at me, Lyra." Her hands tightened around the hem of her dress. Then slowly, almost reluctantly, she raised her head. Her beautiful
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 POVThe warmth was the first thing I noticed.It wrapped around me like a soft blanket, so different from the old mattress that I had grown accustomed to sleeping on. For a brief moment, I wondered if I had died. Slowly, I forced my heavy eyelids open.Instead of the dark, damp servant quarters, I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling adorned with elegant carvings. Cream-colored curtains swayed gently beside a large window, allowing sunlight to spill into the room. The bed beneath me was softer than anything I had ever touched. My heart lurched and I immediately bolted upright, only for a sharp pain to shoot through my body."Ah..."A gasp escaped my lips as dizziness washed over me. "Easy." The gentle voice startled me.I turned my head to see an elderly man seated beside the bed. He wore the robes of a royal physician, while two maids stood quietly near the door. Panic gripped me, and the only thing that came to mind was to apologize."I-I'm so
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.
