The Vampire King's Sacrifice | 18+ |
"Nobody is allowed to touch you here-nobody but me," Marcello growled, his voice thick with urgency as he pressed against her. His fingers brushed her core, igniting a fire beneath her skin.
"Tell me you belong to me," he demanded, leaning closer, his gaze fierce and possessive. "Tell me you're mine." Each word was laced with a dark, intoxicating need, binding her to him as desire and danger intertwined.
**Marcello Vespera** is the youngest vampire king in existence, though he appears to be in his late twenties. Unlike the ancient vampires of his kind, he possesses an extraordinary power and dominance that commands respect across his vast nation. Whispers echo through the halls of his kingdom, for the only thing he lacks is his fated mate-a bond that is essential for a vampire king. As he grapples with the weight of his crown, he must navigate the treacherous landscape of vampire politics while confronting any forces that threaten his reign.
**Aiko Monroe**, a sheltered 19 year-old, has lived a life of love and protection, thanks to her devoted homeschooling parents. They tried to shield her from the dangers of the outside world, including the notorious blood traders - vampire scavengers who seek to capture humans for the illicit slave market. However, their efforts prove futile when a sudden, unexpected raid for adult human females disrupts their peaceful town of Rivermoor. Aiko's sheltered life is shattered as she is discovered and taken, thrust into a world where survival hinges on her wits and resilience.
As Marcello and Aiko's paths intertwine, both must confront their fates and the looming threats that could alter the course of their lives forever. With Marcello's dominant nature at odds with Aiko's resilience, their relationship becomes a complex dance of power and vulnerability, challenging their beliefs about love and loyalty in a world filled with darkness.
