Pets exist for one purpose. To obey. Never to be loved.
As the heir to the vampire throne, Lord Xavier Valerius has never desired a human pet. He accompanies his younger brother to purchase one, intending to leave with nothing.
Instead, he returns with Iris.
Quiet. Broken. Scarred by a life no one should endure.
What begins as an act of mercy slowly becomes something far more dangerous.
Because in a kingdom where vampires are forbidden from loving humans, affection is treason... and some secrets are buried in blood.
The greatest threat to the vampire kingdom may not be the human he chose,
But the one he couldn't stop loving.
