"You smell like you're mine. Like you belong to me." his word comes out slow, a slight hint of desperation in his voice. His grip weakens and I pull my arm out of his grasp. I look up at him for a few seconds and forget how to breathe completely. This man was gorgeous, majestic even. His eyes the prettiest dark I've ever seen complimenting his super pale skin and eyelashes so thick it looks like he was wearing eyeliner. Being able to see him this close, felt overwhelming. And yet I caught a quick glimpse of sadness lingering behind those intimidating eyes.
Nadeline Thornhale has spent her life isolated in her mother's estate, hidden away due to her unique heritage as a half-vampire, half-human. Her world changes when she receives a letter from the vampire King, commanding her to attend the Royal Assistance Academy just like her sister.

Can she blend in with the other students, or will she be caught and need to make a perilous deal with the royal prince to protect her mother's secret?
"You know, don't you?"
I took a deep breath. His gaze was still on me. "What do you mean-"
"Don't play dumb," he cut me off, and I swallowed.
"I..." I paused and stared at the ground. "I don't know much... I don't know yet."
"Do you know who I am?"
I shook my head. "I know you're not normal." I looked up. "But I don't know why."
His eyes flashed silver as I tried to read his expression, but came up empty.
"I know your eyes change color because of your emotions. But I don't know what it means."
As the room fell silent, he averted his gaze.
