Confessions of a Vampire Queen by theBigbadwolfe

In a world of immortal intrigue, Queen Selenia, the sophisticated leader of the Sisterhood, has spent decades perfecting her deadly artistry - transforming from savage predator to noble vampire, crafting elaborate traps, and infiltrating high society through a string of calculated marriages. But her carefully orchestrated world faces its greatest challenge in Rowan, the Wolf Hero, champion of her mortal enemy, the Princess. When Rowan's elite Wolf Knights breach her castle's defenses, leaving his loyal brotherhood gravely wounded, Selenia finally has him where she wants him - alone in her domain. Yet their battle becomes a dangerous dance of seduction as past encounters and buried secrets threaten to surface. Trapped between duty and desire, hero and monster, Rowan must confront his growing feelings for the very creature he's sworn to destroy. Meanwhile, Selenia orchestrates her deadliest performance yet, knowing that in this game of love and war, someone's heart must shatter like the fragments of their shared past. With Gothic grandeur, supernatural action, and darkly romantic tension, "Confessions of a Vampire Queen" weaves a tale where beauty and beast blur, where music mingles with mayhem, and where true monsters might not be what they seem. Will love triumph over loyalty? Can enemies become lovers? Or will their dangerous obsession end in mutual destruction? For in Selenia's castle, every trap is an invitation, every battle a courtship, and every confession could be their last. Let the deadly waltz begin.

Tigh Na Faol: House of Wolf (A Wulvers Prequel) by Scottish_writer

{Featured Story!} #1 in Supernatural #48 in Romance #5 in Historical Fiction "They say at night, the howls of wolves echo across the land, and in the morning farmers find their animals missing or slaughtered. Keep your wits about you, my dearest friend. Beware of the wolves." 1561 Alba - Scotland Màili is the only child of Catholic Lord, Seumas MacDhòmhnaill, and his wife Màiri. Most of her life has been spent hidden away in the Scottish countryside to keep her away from the rumours rife at court since her Mother's death. Màili knows one wrong move could bring those rumours at her feet too. Cries of witchcraft and gossip about her father's dwindling funds, means Màili's future remains uncertain. Close to destitute, her dowry gone, her only chance - in the eyes of her father at least - comes in the form of an unexpected marriage match from a family willing to pay handsomely for Màili's hand. It's an offer her father dare not refuse. Quickly married to a man she doesn't know, Torian Lyall flouts Màili's every belief in what is expected from her as a wife. Nor do he or his family seem overly interested in following Catholic tradition. Trapped amongst people so different from her, speaking a language she barely remembers from childhood, she's whisked away to her new home farther North than she's travelled before. The wild and mountain filled Highlands are a beautiful place; where purple heather and thick forests covers the land, and mighty sea winds batter the waves against ancient rock. Myth and mystery swirl as thick as the grey mists in the glens, where creatures from old stories are said still to roam. And the Lyall family have secrets of their own. Secrets that might involve her in some way. Secrets that make Màili hold her friend's advice closer than she thought she'd need to... Beware of the wolves. . .

All of the knights that I was with broke my heart, so I don't trust anyone. Not wanting to break my shield around my heart again. I don't need a knight, but right now I think I could consider needing one. I have run away from home, angry at my parents want me to marry. I decided to grab a basket from the kitchen and running out of the castle, my home.
