Two years ago, an Elder vampire's explosive reveal in Times Square sparked a civil war between vampire clans. Some wanted to remain in the shadows, while others longed for the world to discover the truth about vampires' true nature. 

Odette Zaleria, an heiress to the New York clan, gave up her rightful place as ruler to fight for a cause she believed in. Now, with vampire hunters closing in, she must reclaim her seat on the dangerous Family Council, and convince her kin of the real and imminent threat. 

However, she has since been replaced by her sister's fiancé - a ruthless manipulative vampire and her former confidant, Dorian Darascu.

To succeed, she devises a daring plan - to seduce a vampire hunter and former military official, Jax, who has been dishonourably discharged. But Jax proves to be hard to fool and even harder to resist. 

Odette is tangled in a web of lies and secrets, forced to choose between her family, her future, and the truth she's only just beginning to uncover.All Rights Reserved

Bleeding Through the Veil of Scars by IrisThorn02

Sinscared Series #1 A forbidden love. A betrayal lurking in the shadows. And a world built on blood, deception, and vengeance. In the ruthless world of the Italian mafia, loyalty is power, betrayal is death, and love... is a dangerous game. Serafina Moretti is no stranger to violence. Born into the mafia, she was shaped by its rules-cold, unforgiving, and unyielding. But there's one rule she can't control: the way she feels for Lucien Beauchene. Lucien has always been there-her protector, her confidant. But he's never been hers. His heart has always belonged to another woman. Now, bound by an arranged marriage that neither of them wanted, Serafina is forced to face a truth she's spent years running from: Lucien's love is a ghost. And as the Russian mafia closes in, their fragile peace teeters on the edge of destruction. Serafina must navigate a dangerous world of blood, betrayal, and lies, while fighting a love that was never truly hers to claim. In the end, the question isn't how far she'll go to save Lucien-but how much of herself she's willing to lose in the process?

VAMPIRE POSSESSION by hehe_jennyy

"Now now, my sweet human queen. I'm going to take you to my dark world, where you will rule by my side as my queen,"the blood sucker said while grabbing my chin gently. "Please, I beg you. Let me go. I don't want to be with a blood sucker like you. Why can't you understand that?" I said while trying to push him back, but he didn't move. Suddenly, his eye colour turned from dark grey to crimson red, and his fangs started growing out from his mouth. My heart began to race at the sight. "Now now, my Evelyn, you know I can hear your human heart beating, don't you? Now, don't make me claim you here and mark you as mine. Behave, or my people will not hesitate to kill those humans by drinking their blood," he said, moving his fangs toward my neck. ______________________________________ Meet Evelyn Roy, a middle-class girl living in a small town in Florida with her grandma.
