Book 4 of The Awakening Series The Malicious Vampire King. My Paramour. Marcellus Throne, the now infamous Malicious Vampire King, has been promised to me since the day he took his first breath. Even before then, our fates were written in the marrow of creation. My first vision, the one that burned itself into my memory before I even understood what I was, was of him. It has always been him. His face. His power. His darkness. Until the night he slept with my sister. That single act shattered every prophecy, every divine whisper, every foolish belief I had in fate. The bond that was supposed to unite empires instead became a curse waiting to be cast. And now, centuries later, the bastard decides to host a mockery of love, a televised "quest for his beloved" as if our story were nothing but royal entertainment. So I came to his kingdom, ready to remind him that destiny is not a joke, and neither am I. Ready to curse him for every ounce of arrogance that dripped from his name. Only for him to turn around, before the entire world, and declare that I am his fated beloved and he's right! He's fatally fucked! Ha.

All I wanted was a mate. I just wanted one person to feel my absence in a crowded room--someone who chose me without hesitation, who noticed the silence I left behind, to miss me in the way I'd spent my whole life missing people. But those dreams were fractured the moment that I met Troy. He pressed the cold blade flush against my neck. I wanted to flip him so that he was the one on his back. I wanted to fight and drive my foot into his throat. "Hurry up." Even with death hovering at my pulse, I leaned into the blade. "Do it. Kill me." Here was his chance. He could slaughter me in the dark right here, right now. He would never have the opportunity again. Everyone had a mate and mine was going to kill me. *** ~2nd in series but can be read as a standalone~

"Kiss me." He orders, slamming my locker shut. "Is she coming?" I ask, turning my head to look behind me, but he grabs my face and makes me look up at him. "Yes, now kiss me." I do as told, getting on my tippy toes as I lean up to kiss him. He kisses me back slowly, before he pins me against the lockers and deepens the kiss. My eyes widen and I try to push him away. This isn't part of the deal. He pulls away, a full on smirk plastered on his face. "I lied." He confesses, turning around. "She wasn't coming." Then, he walks away.
