Brielle’s POV

I didn’t expect silence to be the loudest thing left.

After the council fractured.

After the humans retreated.

After the mansion stopped bleeding secrets.

The world didn’t end.

It simply… paused.

Leo was still alive.

That alone felt impossible.

They brought me to him at dawn, when the mansion’s shadows were weakest. The seals had been eased—not broken, never broken—but softened enough for him to breathe without the walls pressing back.

He looked nothing like the monster the storie

  • KIDNAPPED BY THE VAMPIRE PRINCE   Chapter Fourty

    Brielle’s POVI didn’t expect silence to be the loudest thing left.After the council fractured.After the humans retreated.After the mansion stopped bleeding secrets.The world didn’t end.It simply… paused.Leo was still alive.That alone felt impossible.They brought me to him at dawn, when the mansion’s shadows were weakest. The seals had been eased—not broken, never broken—but softened enough for him to breathe without the walls pressing back.He looked nothing like the monster the stories promised.Just a man sitting on the edge of a stone bed, hands resting on his knees, eyes tired in a way that came from centuries of choosing others over himself.“So,” Leo said quietly, looking at me. “You’re the one who refused to believe the lie.”I swallowed. “I didn’t do it for you.”A faint smile. “That’s why it worked.”Caden stood behind me, silent. He hadn’t spoken much since the battle. Leadership had carved something deeper into him—less prince, more consequence.“You’re free,” Cade

  • KIDNAPPED BY THE VAMPIRE PRINCE   Chapter Thirty-Nine

    Caden's POVDawn broke like a warning.I felt the humans long before they crossed the outer gates—their fear sharp, metallic, laced with fury. Heartbeats thundered against the earth in uneven rhythms, dozens of them, armed and desperate. That kind of desperation always came with demands.And today, they carried a name.“Leo.”The first shout echoed through the valley just as the mansion’s wards flared to life. Flames of old magic crawled across iron gates, responding to the threat. I stood at the highest balcony, hands clasped behind my back, watching torches gather like fireflies with teeth.So the truth was no longer buried.“Summon the council,” I said to the guard behind me. “Immediately.”Within minutes, the great hall filled with shadows. Elders emerged from darkness, from smoke, from thin air itself—creatures who had ruled before kingdoms had names. Their eyes fixed on me, sharp with accusation and hunger for control.“You allowed this,” one of them snarled. “A mortal inside ou

  • KIDNAPPED BY THE VAMPIRE PRINCE   Chapter Thirty-Eight

    I found the truth where no one bothered to look anymore.Behind a sealed door buried beneath the west wing, past a corridor even the servants pretended didn’t exist. The air down there tasted old—dust, iron, and something like regret.My candle trembled in my hand.This was where Leo ended up.The room was small, carved from stone, stripped of anything unnecessary. No chains. No torture devices. Just a desk, a broken chair, and walls etched with symbols I didn’t recognize at first.But I felt them.They weren’t wards to keep Leo in.They were seals—to keep something else from getting out.I swallowed.So this was the lie.Leo wasn’t imprisoned because he betrayed the vampire council.He wasn’t a criminal.He was a containment.On the desk lay a leather-bound journal, brittle with age. I hesitated before opening it, as if the words might bleed.If you’re reading this, then I failed.My chest tightened.Leo had discovered something centuries ago—a fracture in the boundary between worlds

  • KIDNAPPED BY THE VAMPIRE PRINCE   Chapter Thirty-Seven

    Brielle’s POV Caden was dangerous.Not because he was a vampire prince.But because he noticed things.“Caden,” I called, forcing softness into my voice as I approached him.The moment his eyes landed on me, I felt it—that invisible wall he never fully lowered. Every step I took closer felt like stepping into a snare.“Do you need something?” he asked.“I was wondering…” I tilted my head, letting curiosity play across my face. “Would you mind if we walked around the mansion?”His reaction was instant.One second, he was standing across the hall. The next, I was pressed against the wall, cold stone biting through my dress as his arm blocked my escape. His eyes burned into mine, ancient and sharp.“Who are you?” he demanded.My heart slammed hard against my ribs—but I laughed.Light. Careless. Believable.“What?” I said. “It’s me. Brielle.”He didn’t move.“Why do you want to walk around the mansion?”Because Leo’s secrets are buried here.Because you’re guarding them.Because I need

  • KIDNAPPED BY THE VAMPIRE PRINCE   Chapter Thirty-Six

    Brielle continues her plan to seduce the vampire prince, and if Caden finally trusted her, she's able to know about Leo's case. "Caden," she approached the prince. Caden couldn't help but to feel nervous around her. "Do you need something?" he asked. "Would you mind if we walk around the mansion?" Caden's expression changed. He stare at Brielle, knowing if she is planning something or what. He approached Brielle and pinned her on the wall. "Who are you?" he asked. Brielle laughed, "What? It's me, Brielle!" "Why do you want to walk around the mansion?" he asked again. She gulped.Caden's sharp gaze followed Brielle as she strolled through the dimly lit corridors of the ancient mansion. His instincts, honed over centuries, whispered a warning of potential danger. The subtle rustle of her footsteps echoed in the silence, amplifying his suspicion. As the vampire prince, Caden couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that Brielle harbored secrets that could disrupt the delicat

    Brielle's breath caught in her throat as Caden Rhett, the enigmatic vampire prince, guided her into the dimly lit room."Caden, what... what just happened?" she stammered, her eyes wide with both confusion and a hint of curiosity.His crimson gaze met hers, a sly smile playing on his lips. "My dear Brielle, I merely used a touch of my powers to make this encounter more... memorable," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down her spine.As the room's atmosphere thickened with tension, Caden closed the distance between them. "You have a unique energy, Brielle, one that intrigues me," he murmured, his velvet tone wrapping around her like a silk thread. Brielle, torn between fear and fascination, couldn't deny the magnetic pull of his presence. "What are you?" she asked, her voice barely audible. Caden chuckled softly, his breath brushing against her ear, "I am a creature of the night, and you, my dear, are now part of this nocturnal dance."Brielle struggled to conceal the burgeoning
