In the shadowed world of vampire clans, a tale of love, revenge, and secrets unfolds as Lysander Darkwood, a formidable vampire prince, and Rosalind Seraphim, a vampire princess, find their destinies intertwined in an age-old feud.
Lysander's life was forever scarred by the brutal murder of his parents, a heinous act committed by none other than Rosalind's own clan of vampires. Fuelled by vengeance, he orders his loyal army to capture the princess who embodies his family's torment. However, Rosalind, sheltered from the harsh realities of their world, lives a sheltered existence as a newling in training, completely unaware of the sins of her clan.
Deception weaves a dark web around Rosalind when she is tricked and spirited away to Lysander's foreboding castle. There, he presents a twisted tale of destiny, proclaiming her as his mate and weaving an intricate web of enchantment to make her fall in love with him. As their emotions entwine, they are both caught in a whirlwind of passion and secrets.
Beneath the veneer of their tumultuous relationship, the vampire clans harbor long-guarded enigmas. Lysander's desire for revenge conceals a deeper motive - to uncover the secrets concealed within Rosalind's clan. What he doesn't know, however, is that some of these powerful clans have a well-guarded secret of their own - the existence of priestesses. Priestesses are pure-hearted souls endowed with healing powers, and their presence is a closely kept secret.
Rosalind, with her kind and pure soul, is mistaken as the princess, leading to her abduction. In the midst of this enigmatic and perilous world, a profound connection between Lysander and Rosalind unfolds, and their entangled fates may just hold the key to unraveling the hidden truths that could reshape the vampire clans forever. As they navigate a treacherous path of deception, love, and betrayal, they are bound by a destiny that neither of them could have foreseen.

In the kingdom of Volturn, where alliances are forged through bloodlines and ambition, Prince Cid Volturn-the Cold Prince-has always stood apart. Born of the third queen and hardened by loss, Cid rejects the court's demands for a political marriage, refusing to chain his fate to hollow vows. To him, love is a weakness, and duty is a cage. But fate often defies even the coldest heart. During an unremarkable ride through the lower city, Cid's gaze falls upon a slave girl on the auction block. Lyra-pale as moonlight, with silver hair matted by dust and eyes like fractured starlight. Fierce, defiant, and drowning in sorrow. Without a second thought, Cid outbids the crowd, paying an outrageous price for a girl whose worth only he seems to recognize. Back at the palace, Lyra expects cruelty or indifference, but instead finds freedom in the most unlikely place: the heart of a prince who claims he seeks no love, only loyalty. When the king demands Cid marry for political gain, Cid makes an even bolder move-offering Lyra not servitude, but marriage. "You are the only soul in this court untouched by ambition," Cid tells her. "If I must marry, let it be to someone who understands the cost of chains." Bound by defiance and trust, they challenge the court's expectations and the shadows that seek to tear them apart. Yet, as Lyra's past resurfaces and Cid's enemies close in, they must decide if love, fragile and unspoken, is enough to withstand a kingdom built on ice and betrayal. For in the coldest heart, even the smallest flame can spark a revolution.
Oblivion, A Timeless Void
❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 11] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For, to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. - What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carries, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out to find the Elementals-a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
