In the mystical land of Avalon, Princess Elara has always known a life of luxury and adoration. Her every wish was granted, her every need fulfilled. Yet, despite the love of her people and the comfort of her royal life, she yearned for a love as deep and genuine as her parents had shared. But Elara harbored a secret, one so profound that she feared it would drive away anyone who dared to love her.
In the shadowy realms of Transylvania, King Viktor ruled with an iron fist. His path to the throne was paved with loss and bloodshed, each day a battle for survival. Despite his power and the loyalty of his subjects, Viktor felt a void, a longing for the kind of love his parents once had.
Their worlds were starkly different, their peoples sworn enemies. Elara was taught that vampires were deceitful and dangerous, while Viktor grew up believing that the royal family of Avalon was selfish and corrupt. Their animosity seemed destined to endure, until fate intervened.
One fateful night, Viktor is caught in a perilous storm and thrown into the icy waters between Avalon and Transylvania. Elara, on a secret excursion, stumbles upon the drowning king and, despite her upbringing, saves him from certain death. As they confront their prejudices and fears, an unexpected bond forms between them.
But their burgeoning relationship is fraught with danger. The fragile peace between their realms is threatened by old hatreds and new conspiracies. And in the shadows, a new threat looms, one that could destroy both Avalon and Transylvania.
To protect their love and their people, Elara and Viktor must join forces with an unlikely group of heroes-the Avengers. Together, they must navigate a web of intrigue and betrayal, facing challenges that test their strength and loyalty.
In a world where love is a luxury few can afford, can a princess and a vampire king defy the odds and forge a future together?
It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally.
But will everything stay in harmony?
How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back?
Will they haunt me?
Catch me?
Kill me?
"Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly.
If they're here, then....
"Where is he? Where's-"
"Gattina."
All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month.
"Lupo."
I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again.
Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain.
"Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion.
He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife.
