RUBY POV

The drive back home was unusually quiet, and Zyren seemed lost in thought the entire time.

We finally got home after what felt like an eternity. The moment the car stopped , I jumped out like a dog that had just been unleashed.

I impatiently waited for Zyren to walk over and carry me like a baby.

Instead, he took his sweet time adjusting his shirt before casually making his way inside, leaving me to walk all by myself.

He strolled in like a king, completely forgetting there was a littl

  • Sold To A Vampire    Bad dream

    ZYREN Some nights, the past didn't ask permission. It just walked in.The dream always started the same way — the cold first, then the smell of blood I hadn't wanted, then his voice, patient and amused, waiting for me on the other side of sleep like he'd never left at all.I was young again, small enough that the world still felt too big for me, standing over something I didn't want to look at, my hands shaking with a hunger I hadn't learned to control yet. And Andrew was there. He was always there, in every version of this memory my mind refused to let go of.I woke before it finished. I always did."Zyren." Ruby's voice, soft, pulling me back. "Hey."I opened my eyes too fast, breath sharp in my chest, and for one unguarded second I couldn't get the mask back up in time. I felt her see it — whatever was left on my face before I managed to smooth it into something calmer."Bad dream?" she asked, careful, like she already knew not to push too hard."I don't have those." The lie came

  • Sold To A Vampire    “Everything, Including Her”

    ZYREN I heard him before I saw them.Andrew's voice, easy and warm, the same voice he used on every woman who ever made the mistake of thinking he meant it. I was halfway down the hall when the words reached me, clear as anything.I love you. I'd do anything for you.Something in my chest went very still, and very cold.I don't remember deciding to move. One second I was standing at the top of the stairs, the next I was watching my own hand wrapped loosely around the banister like it was the only thing keeping me from doing something I couldn't take back.He was too close to her. That was the first thing I noticed. The second was the look on her face — not soft, not swooning, nothing close to what he probably wanted. Just tired. Wary. Like she'd heard this before and hadn't liked it the first time either.That should have made it easier to breathe. It didn't."Take your hand off her."I hadn't touched him yet, hadn't even raised my voice, but I felt the room shift the second I spoke —

  • Sold To A Vampire    Not Yours”

    RUBY Morning came softer than I expected.Zyren was still beside me, one arm slung over my waist like he had no plans of letting go anytime soon. For once, the house was quiet. No, Cecilia. No stepmother barking down the hall. No Isolde reminding everyone she existed.I let myself enjoy it. Ten whole minutes of peace felt like a luxury these days."You're staring," Zyren said, without even opening his eyes."I'm allowed to stare. You're in my bed.""Technically, it's my bed.""Not really," I said, and he laughed, low and rough with sleep, and pulled me closer.For a second, everything felt normal. Like we were just two people, not a vampire prince and the girl he kept on a leash. I could almost forget about the chain of cuffs still sitting in my drawer, waiting for the next time he decided I needed reminding of my place.Almost.Of course, it didn't last.A knock hit the door , it was sharp, impatient, the kind of knock that already knew it was interrupting something."Go away," Zyre

  • Sold To A Vampire     Are You Jealous?

    RUBY POV Not being myself for weeks had gotten difficult, mostly thanks to my stepmother and stepsister, who had all but moved in at this point, unpacking their lives into every corner of a house that used to feel like mine. Zyren's sister had turned up a few days ago too, though honestly, I couldn't bring myself to care about that particular addition to the chaos.My life was a mess. But then, whose story wasn't, if you looked closely enough.I'd tried to move on from my past. Simple enough in theory. Not that hard, right?Wait — who was I kidding.It had been brutal, actually, and it had taken days just to stop crying myself to sleep like some tragic heroine in a novel nobody asked to read. Eventually I'd had to grow up, put on my big-girl face, and act like an adult for once in my life.So I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom.The mirror was not kind. My hair looked like it had survived a small war, and my eyes were swollen from more crying than I'd like to admit to. I

  • Sold To A Vampire    Fake Tears

    RUBY POVThey threatened me. If I didn’t let them stay here, they said they would kill my father.I had no choice but to ask Zyren to let them remain in the mansion. I could have told him about the threats… I really could have. But I couldn’t bring myself to risk my father’s life.As much as I wanted to trust Zyren, they still had my dad wrapped around their fingers. One wrong move from me could cost him his life, and I wasn’t willing to take that chance.She slowly raised her head, and just like that, the fake tears returned. Her face twisted into a pitiful expression, as if she were the victim instead of me.She lowered her head back as fresh tears streamed down her cheeks. Her shoulders trembled, and for a brief second, she looked like a broken woman carrying the weight of years of regret. Even Cecilia stood quietly beside her, her eyes lowered to the ground as though she was too ashamed to look at me.“I’m sorry, Ruby,” my stepmother whispered, her voice cracking. “I know I don’t

  • Sold To A Vampire     The Lie Unravels

    RUBY POV “It’s time to wake up, little one. I have a surprise for you,” Zyren said. I was forced to open my eyes because he wouldn’t stop tickling me. “Good morning, boss,” I groaned lazily. “Morning,” he replied with a smile. “I have a surprise waiting for you outside,” he whispered. “What is it?” I asked, giggling. “Hmm… it’s a surprise. Come outside and see it for yourself,” he teased. “Dang…” I pouted, already dying of curiosity. He probably got me my favorite thing… my piano. I remembered telling him how much I loved playing it. “Let’s get you blindfolded,” he said with a smile. “And no collar or cuffs today,” he added. “Really?” I asked, my eyes lighting up with excitement. We walked for about a minute before we stopped. Zyren slowly removed the blindfold. “Tadah!” he said with a proud smile. I was expecting to see a beautiful piano, but I was wrong. Standing right in front of me were the two people I had hated my entire life—my stepmother and Cecilia my step-
