**A Love That Defines the Dark**
A world untouched by the supernatural, a man named Alaric faces betrayal from the very villagers he once considered family. Forced to flee for his life, he stumbles upon a dark power long buried and forgotten, an ancient force that offers him the promise of unimaginable strength and eternal life in exchange for his soul. Consumed by vengeance, he accepts this sinister bargain, awakening a darkness within himself that transforms him into the first of a new breed-a monstrous Vampire King, ruled by bloodlust and sustained by the very essence of life he now seeks to extinguish.
For centuries, Alaric's reign of terror permeates the land, his humanity stripped away as he wreaks havoc on fragile souls, turning them into slaves for his insatiable hunger. In the shadows of his dominion, the Lycans emerge, a creation borne of his wrath, further plunging the world into despair.
Elara, a courageous and compassionate dancer, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her beloved sister from the vampire king's predatory gaze. Each month, the villagers offer beautiful young women to satisfy Alaric's dark desires, and when Elara's sister becomes the next target, Elara bravely volunteers to take her place and harbors a plan to end the king's cruel cycle of destruction.
Yet, in her naivety, she underestimates the depth of his power; Alaric cannot be slain, for he is bound to the very dark entity that created him.
What fate awaits Elara when she finally encounters the being of nightmares? In this captivating tale, love battles despair, weaving a rich narrative of forbidden passion, sacrifice, and the relentless struggle to defy the darkness that binds them both.

The King Of All Vampire Kings (Book 1) ✔️ new edition coming soon:)
Book 1 of (The Awakening Series) {#1 Supernatural} {#1 Paranormal} {#1 Lycans} {#1 Vampire Romance} {#5 Royalty} The world went to shit long before I was born. Humans like me use to believe other species were nothing more than fictional characters, myths, or figures of one's imagination. But that was before vampires left the shadows and decided to reveal their species to the world. I've been told that teenage girls use to fantasize about being swooshed off their feet by those mysterious creatures. Insane. Matter of fact, insane would be an understatement, they were fucking lunatics. Vampires are not some fictional character that would love you like no other. No, vampires are not some sort of myth, and they most certainly are not, a figment of anyone's imagination. They are very real, and they despise the human race. In fact, they have enslaved my entire species and formed a new world. Each continent is owned by a ruthless, bloodsucking, barbaric, the vampire king. Every single one of them has played a part in the war of the awakening, showing no mercy, killing without question. Humans didn't even stand a chance. Our army and world leaders were killed or imprisoned in less than a couple of days. They slaughtered my race, but it didn't stop there. No, that was only the beginning of human suffering. Trust me when I say the death was truly a kindness, because anyone who survived the awakening, would beg for death. I was positive that my suffering would come to an end when I turned eighteen. I was hoping and praying to be marked as a feeder, nothing more, nothing less. Death was the only way out of this world. You see, all of the kings who ruled over the earth were cruel and calculating. They are all tyrants in their own right and they all answered to one vampire. Who was known as the most barbaric of them all and I was marked as his chosen. The King of all Vampire Kings.

"Littering, that's something that you can be sorry for." "I needed to get it out of the way for a moment," He replied absently, pushing himself off of the pillar and I blinked at him confused as he walked around to stand before me. "I'll pick it up after this." "After what-" I cut my own words off, my air catching as his warm breath fanned over my cheeks, the smell of him filling my nose. Intoxicating. "You're beautiful you know." My cheeks burned. "Like a thousand wildflowers," I said. His hooded eyes were bright in the dim light, a content smile pulling at the corners of his lips when I spoke. Dad had said that once, I had nearly forgotten it. Forgotten what it felt like to feel loved. "Like a thousand wildflowers," he echoed.

Her Secret
I sighed heavily as I scanned the forest. I had heard something or someone to be specific, wandering about. I decided I would leave once I affirmed they weren't a danger. "What are you doing in my land, human?" A deep enchanting voice spoke I sighed once again "I'm not human, just smell like one" I spoke as I turned around to see the most stunning man I have ever seen "Mate" he spoke "Find another female, Lycan" I spat He only growled at me in response. Men. My brother was the same way. It's kinda funny how all, correction, most shifter men think alike. I would've thought he would be different, after all, he is Lycan. Something of myths. But then again, so are the supernatural. I turned away from him, not even looking at him. I didn't want to remember what he looked like so I didn't give him a second glance. I heard him move closer. I quickly grabbed the knife out of my holster and threw it at a tree next to him. He stops moving then. "Heed my warning. It's the only one you'll get" I spoke coldly "I will find you. Then you will have no escape from me" he spoke as he backed away I could understand. Lycans, like lion-shifters, were going extinct. Therefore mates were even more important to them. But, even if I understood I still didn't want to be someone's mate.
