Bride of the vampire
Crystal Santiago was a woman of dual identities. By day, she was a waitress, known for her kind heart and sweet smile. By night, she became Jae, a stripper renowned for her looks and skill. Wherever she went, men would flock to her, completely under her spell. Her long, black hair cascaded over her bare shoulders, framing her seductive red lips and piercing blue eyes. She had the allure of a siren, and it was all too easy for her to trap men in her gaze. But beneath the surface, she was a sweet, down-to-earth girl. Crystal's life was going smoothly until the day she met him. He was powerful, ruthless, and dangerous. He ruled the city with an iron fist, and no one dared to cross them. He approached Crystal one night after her performance, his eyes filled with greed and lust. "You're mine now," he said, his voices dripping with malice. "You belong to me”.

Damien whispered excitedly.His head swivelled, his eyes locking onto crystal as she made her way towards him. She looked stunning, her hair styled perfectly, her dress hugging her curves in all the right places. Damien's heart skipped a beat as she smiled at him, her eyes sparkling with amusement."Hey, sorry I'm late," she said, taking a seat in front of him. "Traffic was a nightmare."Damien took her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. "You're worth waiting for," he said, his voice low and husky.Crystal rolled her eyes good-naturedly.Max snorted, "Yeah, save it. You're going to need all the charm you can get." Max whispered through the earpiece.Crystal's gaze swept across the restaurant, taking in the elegant decorations. The walls were adorned with intricate gold leaf patterns, and the tables were dressed in

Chapter: Chapter 101"Oh Damien, you're here?" Amelia asked, her voice laced with surprise, as Damien and Crystal descended the stairs together, their faces aglow with a warm, conspiratorial smile.Damien, dashing in his rumpled overnight attire, took Amelia's hand, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he bestowed a gallant kiss on it. "Hello, ma'am, I came here to talk to Crystal last night," he explained, his deep voice dripping with charm.Amelia's eyes narrowed, her gaze darting suspiciously between her daughter and the stranger. "Since last night...?" she repeated, her tone incredulous.Crystal, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson, looked away, her voice barely above a whisper. "Oh my goodness, Mom..."Max, who had been observing the scene with a mixture of mischief and wariness, gasped in fake disbelief. "Mom, Crystal brought a man home last night, and we didn't even know about it?."Crystal gasped as she stared at her twin brother in shock. Her face turned an even brighter shade of red as she tried

Chapter: Chapter 100“No one wants you here for dinner, fuckface. Aiden, come get your stupid mate. And yeah, thank you for ruin my fucking dinner and night”. Max groaned, slamming the door on Adrian’s face as he made his way back to the dinner table. “Get your mate and get out of here”. He said, facing aiden. “Max…”. “Get the fuck it now!”. “Do you realise I’m still here max?”. Amelia chipped in. “Mom, I really don’t want to see them right. If you know your mate is gonna come here. Why the fuck…”. He paused, running his hand through his hair. “You can’t just make assumptions max, Aiden isn’t the only person Adrian knows. I used to be his best friend too, he might be here for me”. Crystal added, getting up from her seat as she walked to the door.“Hi best friend”. Adrian smiled, immediately Crystal unlocked the door. “No one wants you here, dickface!”. She yelled, slamming the door right on his face. “Crystal, oh my goodness. Why is wrong with you two? That is not how you treat a guest!”. Amelia s

Chapter: Chapter 99Max's expression remained stoic, his voice firm. "Yes, I forgive you. But that doesn't mean I want to be with you. As a matter of fact, I think we will be better off as friends”. Aiden's face fell, his eyes filling with tears once more. "Friends?" he whispered, his voice cracking with despair.“Please..”. “Stop begging me, aiden. I don’t think we are compatible, perhaps you should get going now”. Max said, trying to make his own feelings as he moved closer to the door. “Please don’t do this, I might as well just kill me. I don’t want to be your friend, Max”. “Get going aiden”. “M..”. “Now!”. Max snapped at him. Aiden's eyes flashed with desperation and guilt, his face twisted in a mix of emotions. He made a move to leave, but suddenly spun back around, his hands grasping for Max's neck. He pulled Max into a fierce kiss, his lips crushing against Max's.Max's expression remained stoic, his body tense and unyielding. He didn't respond to the kiss, but slowly melted into it as he

Chapter: Chapter 98“Who is it?”. Max asked.“Aiden”. Max's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in a mix of surprise and wariness. "Aiden? What does he want?"Crystal's smile faltered, her eyes darting back to the door as if unsure what to do next. “I don’t know, you ask him”, she responded, stepping aside for Aiden to walk in. Aiden played with his fingers as he stared at Max nervously. “Hey”. He managed to speak. Max's expression remained guarded, his eyes fixed on Aiden with a mix of scepticism and caution. "Hey," he replied curtly, his voice firm but neutral.Aiden's eyes darted around the room, as if searching for something or someone. "I, uh, I was wondering if we could talk?" he asked, his voice laced with nervousness.Max raised an eyebrow, his gaze never leaving Aiden's face.“Of course, he would love to talk to you. Why don’t I walk you both to his room, huh?”. Crystal chipped in, grabbing her brother by his arm as she pulled him along. “Come on, aiden. Don’t be shy, don’t worry my mom already

Chapter: Chapter 97“Max! Max! Calm down. I know you don’t wanna hurt him. Calm down please”. Crystal said, hurriedly pulling him into a hug as he broke down completely in her arms.“I tried so hard to please him. E..every decision I ever made was for him and Damien. And he.. he…”. Max's body shook with sobs, his fists clenched as he buried his face in Crystal's shoulder. Crystal held him tight, her own tears falling as she tried to comfort her brother. "Shh, Max, it's okay. I'm here for you. I'm here."The room was silent, the only sound was the heavy breathing of the three of them. Crystal's eyes never left Lucian's face, her gaze filled with a mixture of anger and sadness.“I’m glad I don’t have a father”. She whispered, staring directly at him. Lucian's face crumbled, shaking his head as he made to speak but stopped. Carlos walked closer to Lucian, tapping him gently on his shoulder. “Uncle, I think you should give them some space for now”. He whispered, giving him a light squeeze. Lucian nodded, h

"I need more time!""There is no more time," Kayla said, trying to stay calm. "We need to get you dressed and out the door right now."“How long will you keep the poor man waiting?”. Her mother asked.“We are almost done!”. Sophia said, curly the last of Ava’s hair.“Ain’t you going to the wedding?”. Kayla asked Sophia.“Why won’t i? Of course I’m going!”. “And you ain’t dressed yet?”.

You've got this.""Okay, okay," he said, waving his hands in surrender. "I'm being ridiculous. But it's a big moment for me, and I want everything to go perfectly.""Of course you do," Ethan said, his smile softening. "But remember, the most important thing is your love for each other. All the other stuff - the flowers, the fancy restaurant, the perfect proposal - that's all just icing on the cake.""I know," Lucian said, taking another deep breath. "Thank you!”. “She’s here!”. Enzo announced as the light immediately went off.Lucian's heart leapt into his throat as the reality of the moment hit him. In just a few minutes, he would be asking Ava to spend the rest of her life with him. "We will leave you to it," Ethan said, giving Lucian a final smile.

Ava was getting ready for her date with Lucian, and the girls were determined to make sure she looked absolutely stunning."Okay, what about this one?" Sophia asked again, holding up a beautiful, flowy gown. "What do you think, Ava?". She asked, showing her the eighth dress.Ava examined the dress and nodded in approval. "I love it. It's perfect for tonight."“No, that looks too simple. We need something hot”. Kayla disagrees, searching for something else."You don't want to look too simple,"Sophia said. "We need something that will make Lucian's jaw drop.""What about this one?" Sophia asked, holding up a black, sparkling dress."Oooh, now we're talking," Kayla said, winking at Ava. "That will definitely make an impression.""But is it too much?" Ava asked, feeling a little unsure. "I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard. It’s just a date""Oh please," Kayla

You are all a part of my heart, and that will never change."“What are you saying?”. Drake chuckled, looking at everyone.“Who said you’re leaving without us?”. Enzo added, smiling as he lock hand with drake.“We are all going with you!”. Kayla said.Lucian's eyes widened in surprise, and he felt a wave of hope wash over him. "Are you serious?" he asked, his voice full of wonder."Of course we're serious," Drake said, a smile spreading across his face. "We're your pack, and we're not going to let you leave without us. You're stuck with us, whether you like it or not."Lucian felt his eyes well up with tears, and he couldn't help but laugh through his tears.

He said, his tone serious, causing Lucain to disengage from Enzo and far him.“What’s wrong?”. Lucian asked, turning to face drake.“I c-can’t feel your alpha aura!”. Drake murmured. Lucian's heart skipped a beat as he processed what Drake had said. "What do you mean you can't feel my alpha aura?”. He closed his eyes, trying to sense his own alpha aura, but it was gone. He opened his eyes, and saw the concern on Drake's face. "It's like you're no longer a werewolf," Drake said, his voice filled with worry. "But you're not a human either”. Drake looked at him, worry etched on his face. "I don't know," he said. "You feel...different."“Oliver!”.

Chapter: He’s not coming Lucian stood still, his eyes fixed on the horizon. He didn't know what to say, or how to respond. Part of him wanted to lash out, but he knew that wouldn't help. And not long after, the goddess came back.“Lucian, what do you wish for?”. She asked, her tone firm and commanding.Lucian smirks, taking two steps closer.“I wish to sever all connections with the werewolves," he said, his voice steady and resolute. "But I want to keep my lycan. I want to be free from their influence, and I don't want to lose a part of myself in the process."“What???”. She gasped in surprise.“That is two wishes not one!”. “So? Two wishes is too much for your powers and you can’t fulfil them?”. Lucian asked arrogantly.The goddess raised an eyebrow, looking amused by Lucian's cheeky remark. "Two wishes is not too much for my powers," she said, her tone teasing. "But I am curious why you would make such a request. Why are you so desperate to escape the werewolves? Or you’re just a coward, just a little pa

Slowly, she turned her head back toward him, her eyes sharp.“Court?” she repeated, her voice low but steady. “Really?” Liam nodded, that smug smile tugging at his lips like he’d already won.Her gaze hardened. “Then maybe I should sue you and your entire family for emotional distress, adultery, bullying, and public defamation. Shall we go to court, Liam?”For the first time, his smirk slipped.“Cat got your tongue now?” She mocked, turning on her heel before he got a chance to respond. Liam’s jaw clenched as he watched her walk away. When he finally turned back, his eyes landed on his mother and sister. “Care to explain?”His mother scoffed, folding her arms. “I can’t believe you’re taking that gold digger’s side.”“Yes,” Lily added quickly. “She was so rude to Mother, and you—what? You wanted to apologize to her? I thought you didn’t want her anymore!”Liam’s gaze hardened. “Not want

He tried to sound dismissive, but his voice came out tighter than he wanted.Mark hesitated, then lowered his eyes back to the papers. “She didn’t sound too happy.”Liam let out a sharp breath through his nose, more like a scoff than a laugh. “Happy? She should be grateful I even put up with her this long.”Mark stayed quiet, flipping a page, though the tension in the room made it clear he didn’t believe a word of it.Liam reached for his pen but didn’t write. His thoughts kept circling back to Natalie’s voice, confident, steady, like she wasn’t afraid of him anymore. His jaw tightened as he picked up his phone, dialing his mother. The line rang, once, twice… then cut off. No answer.He leaned back in his chair, the phone still in his hand. “Unbelievable,” he muttered. “The one time I need her to clean up her own mess…”Mark shift

Chapter: Chapter twenty twoMrs. Brooks’s face darkened, outrage flashing in her eyes. Clearly, she wasn’t used to anyone speaking to her in such a level tone, let alone contradicting her in public. “I can’t believe you would actually sleep with someone like him. How disgusting!” “Ma’am, I’m going to have to ask you to leave our mall. I am not sleeping with Miss Natalie, the owner is literally her….”. “There’s no point wasting breath on her,” Mia cut in, stepping forward with fire in her eyes. “People like this thrive on shamelessness.” She turned to face Mrs. Brooks directly, her voice carrying across the gathered crowd. “You want drama? Fine. I’ll give you drama.” Gasps rippled through the onlookers as Mia continued, “Since everyone’s already watching, let’s tell the truth, shall we? This so-called dignified woman has been clinging to her son’s marriage for years, depending on him like he’s her husband.

Chapter: Chapter nineteen Natalie had not woken up planning to host half the population of the city. Especially after she had gone to sleep angrily because of the foolish stunt Liam had pulled. She’d actually wanted the opposite. Her plan had been to drink her coffee in peace, scroll through the latest design trends and gallery openings, and maybe… maybe work on the sketch she’d abandoned five years ago. The universe, however, apparently thought her villa was a community center. The first knock came before she’d even finished her coffee. She opened the door to find Noah, standing there with a sheepish smile and both hands occupied, one with a box from a bakery so exclusive they didn’t even have a sign, and the other with a paper bag of what smelled suspiciously like the dim sums she used to adore as a child. “Good morning, Nat,” he said, like they hadn’t just seen each other two days ago. “I was passing by and thought you might need breakfast.” She gave him a flat look. “You don’t pass by this neigh

Just two days until his sons came of age, and the thought alone made his chest tighten.“She can’t be their mate,” he muttered to himself. “She mustn’t be their mate.”He had sacrificed too much to get here—his title, his status, his power. Everything he built could vanish because of one twenty-two-year-old girl, why didn’t she just follow her mother? “Isaac?” His mate, Luna Anna, walked in quietly and wrapped an arm around his shoulder.He didn’t turn to look at her. “I’m scared.”“I know,” he whispered, rubbing her arm gently.“What if the curse takes—”“It won’t,” he cut him off. “I’ll make sure she’s not their mate.” Kissing her cheeks gently, Isaac relaxed slightly against her touch, though his thoughts stayed dark. Anna believed he was afraid for their sons. She was wrong.He didn’t care what happened to them, only that nothing, not even a cursed mate, would take his position away.Anna sighed soft

I blinked, trying to adjust my eyes, but there was nothing—no light, no sound except for the faint echo of my own breathing. The air smelled damp, almost metallic, like wet stone and rust. My hands instinctively reached out, brushing against the cold, rough floor beneath me.My heart pounded hard in my chest. Where was I? Who the hell took me?“Hello?” I called again, louder this time, my voice trembling despite how hard I tried to sound firm. “I swear if you don’t—”“You’re not very much different from your mother, you know.”I froze. The voice came from behind me, smooth but mocking, almost amused.My breath caught in my throat. “Who’s there?” I didn’t dare turn around immediately. My instincts screamed danger.

Never with this much distance, this much cold silence between us.“If you’re just going to stare at me—” he started, his tone clipped.“I’m sorry,” I blurted out, cutting him off.He gave a humorless laugh and turned as if to leave. “Try again.”Panic surged through me. I moved fast, pressing my back against the door to block him. “Please, Silas. I’ll do anything to earn your forgiveness.” I said before I could think better of it. My voice trembled, but I meant every word.That made him stop. A slow, dangerous smirk tugged at his lips as he leaned back against the chair behind him, crossing his arms.“Anything, Lyra?”I swallowed hard and nodded.“Then come here,” he said quietly.I hesitated for half a second before stepping closer, my pulse hammering in my ears.His gaze darkened. “On yo

He chuckled and my stomach twisted. Of course she could make him laugh. My fingers curled into fists before I even realized it.Zayn sat beside me, Ezra on my other side. The silence between the three of them was loud enough to choke on. None of them were speaking — not to me, not to each other.Zayn turned slightly, his voice low. “What did you do?”I bit my lip. How was I supposed to tell him I’d moaned the wrong name when I was with him? My cheeks burned.“I don’t know,” I said finally, forcing a shrug.His eyes narrowed. “Lying’s a bad thing, Lyra. Do you want to get punished for it?”The way he said punished sent a shiver down my spine. My fingers tightened in my lap before I could stop them.

His jaw clenched, his words trembling with restrained fury. “Ezra. I knew there was something off between you two. The way he looks at you. The way you let him treat you.
