"Is it safe?"
"I don't know." Savaira took a tentative step outside the door. Dust lingered in the air, partially masking the ruins of chaos. Shops, homes, people's livelihoods 一 all stood now as withered rubble; sticks, stones and broken bones.
Stones crunched beneath her feet, the only sound other than her pounding heart. This... This was impossible. She and her parents spent years preparing for this horrid day, and yet she never thought that it would be real. It was Carsatia all over again, except that she had the unfortunate privilege to say she had first-hand experience of today.
She looked up. The sky was blue, the sun was gleaming. Birds graced across the sky, oblivious to the horrors of the ground. Just then, a shadow blotted it. It loomed over her, constricting her sight. Savaira retreated back, paralysed in shock. Still, it meandered towards her. Reaching, reaching, reaching out. The shadows consumed her, her screams piercing the skies above.
一 ○°•.
It's been almost a year since that harrowing day, yet for Savaira Engels, its effects linger as if it was yesterday. Each day, she wanders around the city streets, seeking work (and maybe even her boyfriend).
But when an ominous letter falls from the sky one day, detailing a precarious ultimatium, Savaira must walk away from the one giant that holds her dearly.
As she goes on her journey, she is called back to something she sought all those months ago: her freedom. Will she ever return to him, or will freedom's song be too great a temptation?

Salazar's Caged Love
She was just an ordinary girl from today's world- a routine life, a beating heart, a future she thought she controlled. Until the night he came for her. Salazar. An ancient vampire king born in a world far older, darker, and colder than time itself. A creature carved from shadows, bloodlust, and laws written long before humans learned to speak. He steps through her century like it's nothing- breaking rules, bending time, crossing worlds- just to steal one terrified girl from her ordinary life and drag her into his. She wakes up in a place where the sky roars in crimson colors, where magic runs beneath the earth, where creatures bow at his feet and tremble at his silence. She is his captive. His forbidden fascination. His weakness in a world where men like him are not allowed to feel anything at all. She fears him. He tastes her fear like hunger. But there's something else in her scent- something soft, something pure, something he never expected: innocence. And for a monster who has lived centuries bathing in blood, her innocence is the sharpest temptation he has ever known. She wants to go home. He has no intention of returning her. Because in his world, time is power. Magic is law. And once a vampire king chooses someone, the universe bends to obey him. She didn't enter another world by accident. She was taken. Claimed. Bound to a destiny written long before her birth. And Salazar? He is ready to tear apart worlds, timelines, and kingdoms just to keep the girl who wasn't supposed to be his- but now is.Complete
