Elves are known to be a romantic and loyal race with longevity. They commit to one partner for life, until death does them apart. If their partner passes away, they feel as if their heart has been taken away by fate. It is hard for elves who have lost their partner to heal their sorrowful and lonely hearts; at the end, most of them took their own lives away to be with their beloved.
This applies to the melancholy and gloomy King Soleil von Astral; he is on the verge of taking his own life away. His beloved, Queen Asteria, died at the hands of human war, leaving him filled with hatred towards the race that took her away from him. He sealed off his beautiful elven kingdom away so none may enter or leave; he made a vow that no humans shall enter the kingdom in honour of his beloved Queen.
500 years have passed, the Elven Kingdom of Astral is still sealed, and the one courageous and charismatic king has turned the kingdom melancholy as the passing of his beloved has not lifted away. His melancholic rule affects his people; the elves aren't as cheerful as they were 500 years ago. The economics of his kingdom slowly deteriorate, and the king's council is worried for their kingdom and people. They propose the idea that they will find a bride to fill the king's empty heart for the sake of their kingdom. It may not be easy, but it is necessary to be executed. Sapphire, a 23-year-old maiden, is working as a delivery woman in the neighbouring country. As she was working as she usually does, she found an injured elf. He gave her a letter and told her to deliver it in the Kingdom of Astral as the letter was a very important notice from the Umbra Empire before succumbing to his injuries. Sapphire silently wonders how she will deliver the letter into the sealed kingdom for 500 years.

"I never wanted this!" I scream, tears streaming down my eyes. He kisses my neck, muttering sweet things to me, but I ignore him. "I wanted to live a normal life. But no, guess what, I had to be the mate of the freaking vampire prince! Yay!" His body tenses behind me, and I realize what I said. I turn back to apologize, to tell him that's not what I meant, but he stops me. "If that's how you feel." He whispers, walking away before I can blink. - Sadistic: that's what everyone thinks of Ava. She enjoys watching people suffer. The way the squirm and beg for mercy, it probably turns her on. Though, what happens when she has to save lives, not take them away? It's not saving lives like Superman does, it's way more intense. Did she see that coming? No. Does life care? Not at all. In fact, it's throwing her in front of a bus (literally). One secret demands poor Ava to bend all of her morals, and change herself completely. Forever's going to take longer than expected. Warning: Cursing is frequent.Complete

Alejo [Vampire]
He lacks a good conscience. He has trouble feeling guilt. He's been known to enjoy torture. He has spikes of rage that result in death or injury more times than not. He appears to care for no one but himself. He, however, is not above manipulating people into thinking he has the capacity to. As a person he is dangerous. As an immortal he is unstoppable. And now that he has inherited the authority to control the world he is untouchable. She shouldn't have the ability to change that. For her sake she shouldn't try. Because some men were never meant to feel human emotion. Passion, seduction, lust, love, possessiveness. Men like him aren't meant to be capable of any of it. This is his story. As told by Alejo.
