Bound to the vampire lord
“Your father’s debt is now yours to pay,” he said. The words were quiet, but they hit like a hammer. “Whether you like it or not, it’s either you serve me or you die.”
Santa Griffin has always lived life on his own terms, bold, flirtatious, and unapologetically reckless. But when his father is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Santa is dragged into the shadowy world of the Otho family, the most powerful clan of vampires in the city. There, he learns the truth: his father’s debt has fallen onto him, and Lord Perth Otho demands repayment in the most terrifying way possible.
Forced into servitude, Santa becomes Perth’s personal slave. But what begins as a cruel punishment twists into something far more dangerous. Perth toys with him mercilessly, savoring his defiance, but beneath the ruthless control lies an attraction neither can deny.
As tensions rise, Santa is caught in a deadly web. Perth is bound by duty to marry the pureblood ed vampire, Xedra, a union that could secure power for the vampire elite. But when vampire hunters launch a brutal attack, Santa risks everything to save the very man he swore to hate, setting into motion a chain of events that will change everything.
But when the hunters strike and their leader is revealed to be Santa’s long-lost mother, vengeance and blood ties collide. Caught between the woman who gave him life and the vampire who now owns his heart, Santa must decide where he truly belongs, because in a world ruled by darkness, love itself could be his undoing.

Chapter: Chapter 24I woke up the next morning feeling like my bones were made of sand. Everything inside me felt heavy, foggy, worn thin. The night kept replaying behind my eyes, looping over and over like some kind of cruel show I didn’t sign up for.For a second, I just lay there staring at the ceiling, letting my mind drag me back into everything I had seen. The vampires. Their eyes glowing like embers. The feeders on leashes. The collars. The fear. The powerlessness. All of it swirling in a sickening mix under my skin.I lifted my hand slowly and touched the side of my neck.The collar wasn’t there anymore, but somehow the phantom weight still was.Before I’d reached my room the night before, Perth had stopped me in the hallway and told me quietly—no, commanded me—to return the collar. I had slipped it off right after, relieved for even a moment of freedom, but the pressure of it, the tightness, the humiliation… my hand could still feel all of that as if it were carved into my skin.A breath tremble

Chapter: Chapter 23The vampire stepped back the moment Perth’s voice sliced through the hallway. He dipped his head slightly, shoulders tight, the blood on his chin catching the dim light as he murmured, “Sire.”Perth’s footsteps echoed closer. His tone was sharper this time, clipped and irritated. “What is going on here?”The vampire finally straightened his spine a little, though his head remained bowed. “I was just asking if he had seen my companion.”Perth turned to me. His eyes were unreadable. “Have you seen his companion?”My throat went dry instantly. I cleared it, stalling, feeling Jerome’s fear radiating behind me like cold air. I paused, fighting with myself about whether to tell the truth or not. But I’d already committed. I shook my head.Perth walked up to me so smoothly it made my stomach twist. He tilted his head, examining my face. “You’re lying, aren’t you?”“No,” I said, though it came out a bit too fast. “I’m not lying.”He stared at me in silence. I could feel the weight of his gaze

Chapter: Chapter 22I crouched down in front of the boy, my knees bending until I was almost sitting on my heels. Up close, he looked even worse. His breathing was fast and shallow, and there was a long cut across his arm that was still seeping blood.“Hey,” I said softly. “Can you stand?”His eyes flicked up to mine. Bright blue. Shaking. Terrified.“I… I don’t know,” he whispered. His voice sounded like he had swallowed sandpaper.“Okay, let’s try.”I slipped my arm under his and slowly pulled him up. He let out a quiet sound — pain or fear, I wasn’t sure — but he didn’t fight me. He was so light it scared me a little. Like if I pulled too hard, he might break.“Come on,” I murmured, guiding him toward the room. When we made it inside, I shut the door quickly and pressed the lock.The boy sagged against me, and I half-carried him to the couch. He sank into it like someone whose body had finally given up.“Just stay here,” I said, brushing his hair out of his eyes. “Let me look for a first aid box or so

Chapter: Chapter 21He was standing behind me.I froze, my fingers still hovering over the glass I’d meant to pour from. The air between us felt charged — heavy, like the few seconds before a storm.“I’d also like a drink,” Perth said quietly.My chest tightened. His voice was close, too close, and I could almost feel the words brush against the back of my neck. “O–okay,” I managed, my voice sounding small even to my own ears. “I’ll make you one.”I reached for another glass, but before I could even lift it, his hand came down over mine. Cool. Firm.“Not that kind of drink,” he said, his tone unreadable.He took my wrist gently but with an authority that made resistance feel pointless. I felt him draw my hand closer, until my pulse beat right beneath his fingertips. Then, to my surprise, he didn’t bite — not yet. He only breathed in, as if the air around my skin carried something he needed.The sound of his breath was quiet, almost thoughtful. And when he finally pressed his nose lightly to my wrist, I

Chapter: Chapter 20The hand on my shoulder tightened slightly, and I spun around, my breath catching in my throat.Perth stood there, tall and composed, his expression unreadable under the dim, bluish glow of the luminite. His black shirt blended almost completely into the shadows, but his eyes—sharp and pale like glass in the dark—fixed on me with quiet disapproval.“I thought I told you not to wander too far,” he said, his tone calm but edged with something cold. “What are you doing here?”My heart was still racing. I swallowed hard and glanced back toward the wall, where that strange metal object had been lying just a moment ago. “I was just—” I stopped, blinking. The spot was empty.The dust had shifted, like something had been dragged away, but there was no sign of the equipment. No gleam of metal, no faint crest in the dirt. Nothing.“It was just here,” I muttered under my breath, crouching slightly, running my hand over the ground. “I’m not seeing things. I swear, it was right here—”Perth’s voic

Chapter: Chapter 19When I opened my door that morning, the sight that greeted me made me pause. Kieran was leaning casually against the wall, arms folded, his expression unreadable. It looked like he had been there for a while.“Have you been standing here for long?” I asked, brow raised.He shrugged lightly. “Not long.”For some reason, that small exchange made me feel oddly self-conscious. His calm presence always had that effect.He straightened and gestured down the hall. “I’m here to escort you. The car’s ready.”“Of course it is,” I muttered, pulling the door shut behind me. My boots echoed against the marble floor as we walked side by side down the long hallway, past the tall windows where morning light spilled through sheer curtains.When we stepped outside, two sleek black cars waited in the driveway, their polished surfaces gleaming under the pale sunlight. One was parked just ahead of the other. Kieran moved ahead and opened the back door of the second car. “After you,” he said, his tone pol
