Kael was not a man who dreamed. For years, the curse had made sleep a battlefield, every night a war between his body and the shadows clawing inside him. When the curse was severed, he expected silence. Peace.

But peace never came.

The first time he touched the pendant, the world slipped. He had meant only to study it Anastasia’s final gift, delicate against the steel of his chestplate. His fingers brushed the silver, and a warmth pulsed through him. His vision blurred.

And then came the whispers.

A voice, broken and soft. “Kael… please, hold on.”

He jerked awake in his quarters, breath sharp in his throat. No one was there. Only the pendant, cool and still against his skin.

He tried to dismiss it as exhaustion, the strain of preparing for war. But the second night, when he closed his eyes, the dreams deepened.

He saw her.

Not the queen he knew now, crowned and untouchable. But a woman standing beneath a storm of silver light, her eyes wet with tears, her hand stretched toward him. He

  • The Cold Vampire King's Omega   A Bond Rekindled

    The night was heavy with tension, the moon a sliver of silver fire above the horizon, casting pale light over the palace grounds. The air seemed to hum, thick with a power that was barely contained, and I could feel it brushing against my skin alive, impatient, watching.Kael stood at the edge of the balcony, his eyes fixed on the horizon, distant and hollow. Even after the trials, the curse’s remnants had left him fragmented, as though the man I loved was locked behind a veil of shadows. Yet tonight, I could feel the stirring of something deep within him a spark waiting to ignite.I stepped closer, my bare feet silent against the cold stone, and raised my voice in the quiet of the night. My song began softly, a haunting melody that wove through the wind, curling around Kael, threading through his chest, seeking the part of him that was still mine. It was a song of longing, of pain, of memories etched into the very marrow of our souls.At first, his shoulders stiffened. His jaw clench

  • The Cold Vampire King's Omega   Betrayal Within the Walls

    The moon hung low over the palace, a silver sentinel casting long shadows across the cobbled streets. I had just returned from the council chambers, still shaken from the revelations of the Trial of Love, yet determined to begin preparations for the looming war. The air was thick with anticipation, but also something heavier something I could not yet name.Kael walked beside me, silent and unyielding, his presence a tether to reality. Even though he still struggled with fragments of his memories, there was a familiarity in the way he moved, the subtle way he glanced at me as if instinct whispered truths his mind could not yet claim.We had barely reached the inner halls when the first strike came.A crash of shattered glass echoed from the council wing. Torches flickered as masked figures emerged from the shadows, daggers drawn, their intent clear: assassinate the Queen. My heart slammed in my chest, fear and rage intertwining.“Anastasia!” Kael’s roar shattered the night.Instinctive

  • The Cold Vampire King's Omega    The Trial of Love

    The Moonlight poured over the palace like liquid silver, illuminating every corner of the garden, every leaf trembling in the gentle night breeze. I knelt in the center of the Binding Circle, eyes closed, the Moon Goddess’s presence pressing against my soul. Her power was patient, relentless, like the tide brushing endlessly against the shore.“You must remember, Anastasia,” her voice echoed inside my mind, simultaneously a whisper and a roar. “Only by facing your past and your heart can you guide him back to you.”I shivered, inhaling the cool air that smelled faintly of salt and moonlight. The Trial of Love had begun. The world around me blurred, fading until only shadows remained. And then, the first memory struck a memory of Kael, smiling under the first full moon we’d ever shared.It was a simple moment, nothing grand, but it carried everything. The brush of his hand against mine, the warmth in his eyes as he spoke my name for the first time, the unspoken promise that even in a w

  • The Cold Vampire King's Omega   The Abyssal Warden Rises

    The sea churned like molten iron beneath the moonlight, waves crashing against the cliffs in rhythms that felt alive, angry, and deliberate. I stood at the edge of the palace balcony, the wind tangling my hair, my heart thudding with a warning I could not ignore.“The Abyssal Warden has awakened,” Matif’s voice came, low and urgent behind me. I didn’t need to turn; the tremor in his words alone carried the weight of doom.“Show me,” I demanded, even as dread coiled in my stomach.He held up the orb, pulsing with silvery-blue light the divine essence of the Moon Goddess, reaching out to warn us. Images flashed across its surface: villages swallowed by black tides, corpses crawling from the water, shadows twisting into monstrous forms that had once been men. And then, at the center, the Warden itself a dragon-like behemoth forged from the remnants of fallen gods, its scales jagged and gleaming, eyes burning with an eternal hunger.I felt my blood chill. Even Kael, weakened and hollow fr

  • The Cold Vampire King's Omega    A Queen Without a Mate

    Kael walked again, and to the world that was a miracle.The curse had been severed, the shackles that had twisted his bloodline burned away in sacred fire. His body moved without the violent spasms, without the dark tremors that once marked his every breath. He was no longer a man on the edge of breaking he was whole.But when his eyes met mine, I saw nothing.He looked at me like one might look at a familiar painting that refuses to stir memory. A stranger. A distant presence where once there had been fire, heat, and bond. His freedom had cost us both everything.And so, when the council gathered, it was not Kael they crowned.It was me.The ceremony was unlike anything I had ever endured. Beneath the dome of the sea temple, the ocean roared and the moon poured silver light across the waters, weaving a path straight to where I stood. The covens of the Moon and the Ocean gathered side by side, voices lifted in unison.“The Moon-Sea Queen,” they cried. “The unifier. The chosen.”A circ
