All Chapters of HEART OF AVALON : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Lyra's POVA loud banging on my door jolted me awake. My heart began racing. I knew it meant another round of beatings and torture, that's all it ever meant. Dragging my exhausted body off the old mattress, I walked toward the door. Before i could open it, a voice yelled."Seems you've forgotten where you are and what you're meant to do, you slave!" a voice yelled. My name is Lyra Avalon, the only surviving member of my family. My parents and brother died fighting a war for the wolves.Yes, the wolves. I'm human, and in this kingdom, humans serve one purpose, to be slaves to the werewolves. But even humans who are meant to get each others backhates and despises 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 regular thing for me. I immediately straightened up, fear washing over me as I rushed to the door bef

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 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
