Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems.

Drain My Soul by Rach0308

- CONTENTS MATURE! 18+ scenes - Celeste believed nothing more than being a normal girl, in a normal street, in a normal world but nothing can just be normal? Right? Well this idea of a normal life, stops for Celeste and she goes back to her parents home town, where she is forced by law to a mating ball and is convinced she is something she is not.... But when she meets a blue eyed handsome man that is not who he seems, she is intrigued and is ready to explore. Follow Celeste on her journey to find out who she really is, discover the world she believes is insane and will these blue eyes help her? ------ "I effect you as much as you effect me and it pains me to see my mate with another" he whispers in my ear. I gulp deeply and I want to drop to my knees, to plead that my life is in his hands. Although I gulp and shake my head. "Fine, but I'll be there and I'll be watching!" He whispers in hush tones. I gulp and feel the pain again in my chest. His blue eyes come back to my own and I don't even give him a smirk. He lets go of my jaw and with in a flash I see him leave. The thought in my mind is that my mate is fucking hot and I don't know how long I can deny that for or deny the inseparable connection between us. ---- A/N Just a quick note to say that this book indeed does need heavy editing and as a Co-writer I find this story not in my favour. I know the main character Celeste may come across as mean and as a comment mentioned 'annoying' this book will go through editing. But I'd you choose to still read then fantastic! It's our first 'mate' and 'vampire' book so please be kind and all comments will be taken into consideration. Thank you L&R x
