After being unable to afford to care for her ill mother, nineteen-year-old Ophelia is forced to take matters into her own hands and become the bride of a vampire. A Blood Bride. She isn't given much information aside from the fact that she will receive a large sum of money if she marries the vampire of Cross Manor. Upon arriving at the manor, she expects to be nothing more than the vampire's meal and play toy, only to find that her presence is needed for far more than a simple blood bag. A vampiric war is on the horizon and Jon Cross is in need of a Warrior to fight alongside him. This Warrior, however, won't be a trained knight, rather, it will be his newly made bride, Ophelia Cross. [Blood Series] Highest Rank in Vampire: #4

In Ava's life, he was everywhere. And yet, she didn't notice him until he was nowhere to be found.
