**In a world tainted by jealousy, hatred, and secrets, Amelia finds herself living with Delilah's parents-a family she has no blood ties to. But why? Everything happens for a reason, and the truth is always waiting to be uncovered.
Lia-who is she? What is she? Her every move reeks of suspicion. And then there's Axel...
A ruthless vampire with a mind as twisted as his past, Axel hides his face beneath a curtain of white hair, his brutal words as sharp as his fangs. He lives by his own rules, showing no mercy, no hesitation-until Amelia stumbles into his dark world.
One fateful night, Amelia witnesses something horrifying. Bound and bloodied, innocent lives hang in the balance. As she tries to escape, Axel stops her. He forces her hand-literally-guiding her fingers over the trigger, making her pull it. The deafening gunshot seals her fate.
Shattered, terrified, and furious, Amelia turns the weapon on Axel, but he remains unfazed. "I could kill you and your friend just as easily," he says, his voice calm, his gaze cold.
She fires-but the bullet only kisses the sky.
"You think killing is a way to live?" she cries.
Axel smirks. "It teaches you survival."
Before she can resist, he slings her over his shoulder like a mere possession and walks away, leaving nothing but corpses in their wake.
Who were those people? Why was Amelia forced to kill them? And what dark fate awaits her under Axel's control?
Secrets will unravel. Blood will spill. And in the midst of it all, an unexpected bond will form between a ruthless vampire and the girl trapped in his clutches.
Dare to step into the darkness? Your curiosity won't let you stop reading.**
