Stephen, a once orphaned beggar, had no memory of his past and endured a harsh life on the streets. However, his fortunes changed when a compassionate couple took him in and showered him with love as their own. But tragedy struck when vampires descended upon his village, mercilessly slaughtering his newfound family. Unbeknownst to Stephen, the mastermind behind the massacre was none other than the vampire king himself, a cold-blooded and ruthless being. In a cruel twist of fate, Stephen discovered that he was the mate of this vicious vampire, destined to be bound to him despite the unfathomable loss he had suffered at his hands. Haunted by grief and resentment, Stephen found himself grappling with conflicting emotions. How could he ever learn to love the very creature who had taken everything from him? The weight of this burden threatened to crush him, but deep inside, a glimmer of hope remained. As Stephen embarked on a journey of self-discovery, he yearned to uncover the truth behind his own origins and the connection he shared with the vampire king. Along the way, he would encounter allies who would offer guidance, and support, and perhaps even unlock the secrets of his past. In this tumultuous tale of love and redemption, Stephen would be faced with the ultimate challenge - to find forgiveness within his shattered heart and forge a path toward acceptance. Only then could he begin to navigate the complexities of his relationship with the vampire king, and discover if love could truly blossom from the ashes of tragedy.

“I must say, this human has you tightly wound around her finger. Is she…the one?” He said walking towards the desk, a curious look on his face. I’ve known the answer to that question ever since I first caught sight of her. Looking back on that day I couldn’t help but let a small smile curl onto my lips as I replied, “I’ve known it since the day I caught her scent.” Julian clapped his hand onto my back, “Congratulations brother, I didn’t think I would live to see the day that my brother, the most feared man among our race, fall under the spell of a woman, let alone a human female.” Julian said with a smirk. A vicious growl escaped my chest at the hint of becoming weak. “Hey, hey no need to get all cross with me, you knew it was going to happen sooner or later.” I narrowed my eyes in anger, “Just because I’ve found my mate doesn’t mean I’m going to suddenly turn soft. It just means that I’ll be willing to do anything, to please my mate, even kill…

**shortlisted for Wattys2017** Technically speaking, I died when I was seventeen. What should have been just another typical day out on the water with my friends, turned ugly fast when a freak storm came out of nowhere and I was thrown overboard. Had it not been for my damned dress, I could have swam to safety, but no, every day had to be a fashion show, and my dress got caught on rocks, holding me down until I drowned. I thought right before I died I would at least get to see a montage of my fabulous life, all the parties and romantic dates with my perfect boyfriend, Asher, but nope again. Instead, all I saw was a hideous sea monster smiling to me as my lungs filled with water. When I woke up in a cave in the middle of the ocean, that sea witch made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I could go back to my perfect life, and my adorable boyfriend, all I had to do was give the sea witch two years of my service, and then she'd free me from my fate. It seemed easy enough at the time, but can the price to live actually come at too high of a cost? Highest rank #5 in paranormal
