The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย An Evil Plan
The door creaked open, revealing Elder Eric. He wore a golden robe embroidered with intricate patterns and a tall, gleaming golden cap that symbolized his high status. Three men stood at his side, their expressions neutral yet watchful."Asmada Ezra," he said, his deep voice echoing slightly in the grand chamber.She turned gracefully, adjusting the delicate bracelets on her wrists. She was already dressed for the grand celebrationโKing Dravenโs birthday. The dark red gown she wore clung to her frame elegantly, accentuating her regal presence. The glimmering jewelry around her neck and wrists only enhanced the power she exuded."Hello, Father," Asmada greeted, her tone neutral, yet there was an unmistakable edge to it. "What brings you to my room?"Elder Eric's gaze lingered on her attire before he spoke, his voice laced with subtle disapproval. "You plan on attending the Kingโs birthday?"She arched a perfectly sculpted brow. "Do you have a problem with that, Father?" She turned her

A Dangerous CelebrationThe grand hall shimmered with an ethereal glow, bathed in the warm glint of gold and silver decorations. The walls, painted with fine layers of glittering paint, reflected the glow of the chandeliers, making the entire room seem like it was draped in stars.All around, high-ranking vampires conversed in hushed tones, sipping from crystal glasses filled with dark red liquid. These were not just any vampiresโthey were the elite, the powerhouses of the Vampire Kingdom. Each one either controlled vast business empires or held dominance over vampire packs, making them some of the most influential figures in their world.King Draven stood at the far end of the room, his piercing dark eyes scanning the sea of elegantly dressed guests. Every man was clad in finely tailored suits, and every woman wore luxurious gowns, their outfits reflecting the color theme of the evening. But Draven cared little for any of them. His thoughts were consumed by one personโhis mate.He ha

Dravenโs eyes blazed a deep, furious red, burning with jealousy as he watched the scene unfold before him. He had anticipated Auroraโs arrival, had waited impatiently for her presence to grace the hall. But now, a vampireโan audacious oneโhad dared to approach her.His enhanced hearing caught every syllable the man spoke, every arrogant inflection in his voice.โMy name is Philip. I hail from the Eastern lands of the vampires. So, tell me, what is a beautiful lady like you doing here all alone?โAuroraโs heart pounded in her chest. Philip stood barely two feet away, his sharp features illuminated by the chandelierโs golden glow. He was undeniably handsome, but he reeked of something sinisterโdanger, blood, and centuries of experience in the art of deception.She turned slightly, her gaze flickering to where King Draven stood. The shattered glass was gone, replaced by a new drink in his grasp, yet his grip on it was tight, his knuckles white. His intense stare made her shudder.โThe pa

Aurora froze when she saw the woman standing just a few feet away from her. It was none other than the strange woman who had been punished by King Draven.At first, Aurora had thought Doctor Bella was the most beautiful woman at the party, but this woman had changed that mindset instantly. There was something ethereal about herโsomething dangerous yet alluring."You still remember me, she-wolf?" the woman said, her lips curling into a smile that could be seen as pleasant to those unaware of the tension between them.Aurora swallowed. "I'm sorry for the punishment that was meted upon yโ""I plead with you, do not speak of the punishment," the woman interrupted sharply. "Remembering it only aggravates my anger toward you."Her words carried an unmistakable edge of hatred. Aurora's eyes widened. Had she heard correctly? She shook her head slightly, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears."I'm Asama," the woman continued, her voice dripping with venom. "I think itโs best I i

Asmada frowned. She did not like what was happeningโeverything seemed to be favoring the she-wolf.Still, she forced a small smile. There was time. Rome wasnโt built in a day, was it?Aurora turned her attention to the Vampire King, King Draven. Something about him was unsettling. He spoke more than necessary, his words slurred as if he were not in his right mind. Everything about him feltโฆ odd.She narrowed her eyes. How much had he drunk?From the way he lounged carelessly with his men, it was clear he had more than his fill.โOh, here she is. She finally decided to come back to her senses,โ Draven said, his voice laced with amusement.The men around him chuckled, shaking their heads as they joined in his laughter.Aurora inhaled sharply, her fists clenching at her sides. There was no way she could leave the king like this. Letting him remain in this state, surrounded by his men, could lead to something drastic.She recalled the vampire queenโs words: Take him away from his human fr

Aurora felt her breath hitch at Dravenโs words and actions. The Vampire King was a blunt manโhe had no filter, no restraint, no hesitation in saying exactly what was on his mind.โYouโre drunk,โ she stated firmly, her eyes locking onto his. โYou need to leave until youโre sober enough to be at this party.โDraven smirked, tilting his head as he studied her.โDo I hear concern in your voice?โ he mused, his deep voice dripping with amusement. โCould it be that youโre starting to care for me?โAurora narrowed her eyes but said nothing.Draven continued watching her, his gaze sharp despite his intoxication. โSo tell me, what does my dear mother want this time? I assume she sent you?โAurora hesitated for a moment before speaking. โYour mother, the Vampire Queen, saw how drunk you were when you were with yourโฆ human friends. She fears you might let something slipโmaybe a secret.โDravenโs smirk vanished. His eyes darkened, irritation flickering through them.โMy human friends?โ he repeated

Draven's voice echoed through the night air, his deep tone sending a shiver down Aurora's spine."Strip, Aurora."His words caused a tingling sensation to spread through her inner thighs, a mix of anticipation and hesitation washing over her. She crossed her arms over her chest, staring at him with narrowed eyes."And why exactly should I strip? What reason do you have for making such a request?" she asked, her voice laced with defiance.Draven closed his eyes for a brief moment, as if collecting his thoughts. When he opened them again, his dark, piercing gaze locked onto hers."Because you are my mate, and I want you to enjoy this cool water with me," he said before dipping his head beneath the surface.Aurora remained frozen on the spot, his words stirring up memories she had long tried to suppress. Lucas had once uttered a similar command, his voice filled with cold authority, stripping her of her last shred of dignity without remorse. But Dravenโs words felt different. His tone he

Her pulse thundered in her ears, drowning out everything but the steady hum of Dravenโs deep, smooth voice."Why are you scared, Aurora?"His words curled around her, making her shiver despite the heat of the water. His arms framed her on either side, trapping her in a cage of warmth and power. The weight of his presence pressed against her back, igniting something dangerous inside her.Aurora swallowed hard, her throat dry. Her entire body trembled, though whether from fear or something else entirely, she wasnโt sure. โBecause I am naked,โ she admitted in a whisper, her voice barely audible over the rippling water.Dravenโs smirk was slow, deliberate, teasing. His piercing gaze never left her as he shifted slightly, closing the last inch of space between them. Her breath hitched when she felt himโsolid and unmistakably arousedโagainst her lower back.His lips brushed against the curve of her n

The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย Heirs of Power.
Years passed like whispers in the wind. The Vampire Kingdom flourished under King Draven and Queen Auroraโs reign, their love a symbol of unity and strength. But the greatest marvels in the realm were not the towering castles or glowing blood lakes. They were the twin heirsโLucien and Selene.From the moment they could crawl, the twins were different.Lucien, with eyes like molten silver and a voice that echoed like thunder, had an aura of fire and resolve. Even at the age of five, he could summon bursts of heat from his palms, often setting the garden leaves ablaze during tantrums. The servants whispered that he was born with the flame of the first vampire king.Selene, in contrast, moved like moonlight on still water. Her eyes shimmered with shifting violet hues, and she could vanish into shadows without a sound. Animals followed her, flowers bloomed at her touch, and sometimes, when she sang, the wind itself obeyed.โTheyโre not just heirs,โ Lilith once whispered to Draven as they

Auroraโs pregnancy was nothing short of extraordinary.From the moment the palace healers confirmed the life growing within her, the Vampire Kingdom rejoiced. But beneath the celebrations lay a current of uncertainty. A royal child born of both vampire and werewolf blood had never existedโlet alone twins.Auroraโs body changed rapidly. Her senses grew sharper, her energy surged unpredictably, and the bond between her and Draven deepened to near-telepathic levels. Some days, she could feel his heartbeat echoing in her chest. On others, he could sense her nausea before she even opened her eyes.โYou donโt have to hover,โ she teased one morning as Draven helped her sit up in bed. โIโm pregnant, not made of glass.โHe smirked, placing a kiss on her belly. โTell that to the kingdom. Half of them think you're the vessel of a prophecy. The other half think youโre going to sprout wings.โโWouldnโt that be something,โ she murmured, brushing a strand of hair behind his ear. โOur childrenโdo you
The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย The Blood Moon Union
The blood Moon rose high above the Crimson Citadel, casting its ethereal glow over the marble spires and silken banners fluttering in the night breeze. The air was rich with rose incense, and the palace gardens had been transformed into a realm of twilight wonderโlaced with petals, lanterns, and crimson flame. Tonight was not about power, politics, or vengeance. Tonight belonged to love.Aurora stood before her mirror in a gown of shadowed silk and garnet lace, her crown replaced with a delicate circlet of moon-kissed pearls. Her heart beat fiercely beneath her ribsโnot with fear, but with wonder. From the outcast of the Red Moon Pack to Queen of the Vampire Kingdomsโฆ and now, she was about to become Dravenโs mate fully.Behind her, the door creaked open and Lilith stepped inโa vision of timeless beauty in silver robes, her black hair falling like water. She had insisted on preparing Aurora personally for this night.โYou look breathtaking,โ Lilith whispered with a motherโs warmth. โD
The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย The Crowning
The crimson banners of the seven vampire kingdoms fluttered in unison, heralding a day unlike any in their long, immortal history. At the heart of the capital, within the High Spire of Eclipsiaโa spired palace of black marble and ruby glassโthe coronation of Aurora was set to unfold.The courtyard of the palace had been transformed into a field of splendor. Velvet drapes spilled like blood down obsidian columns, golden torches lined the arches, and musicians played ancient hymns from silver flutes, their melodies echoing into the mountain winds. Nobles, royals, and warriors from all seven vampire kingdoms had gathered. Never before had so many fanged dignitaries stood together in peace.Aurora stood at the base of the obsidian steps, cloaked in a royal gown the color of moonlight over water, inlaid with threads of starlight and crystal. Her dark curls had been braided and crowned with a circlet of silver vines and bloodstonesโDravenโs personal gift. She looked not like a girl who once
The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย Trial under Crimson Citadel.
The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale silver glow over the great hall of the Crimson Citadel. Within its stone walls, a storm of judgment brewed. Rows of vampires, nobles and elders alike, filled the arched chamber, their crimson eyes gleaming with anticipation and disdain. At the head of the hall sat the council of judgmentโKing Draven, with his dark crown of thorns, Queen Aurora beside him in regal silver, and five ancient elders robed in twilight silk.Chained in obsidian manacles, Asmada Ezra stood before them. Her once-arrogant expression was twisted in rage and desperation. Her crimes echoed through the kingdomโpoisoning Aurora, murdering a vampire at the gates of the capital, and conspiring with Kael and Elder Eric in treason against the vampire realm."Asmada Ezra," Elder Tullius began, his voice heavy with centuries of wisdom and authority. "You are accused of high treason, attempted assassination of the queen, and the slaughter of a royal guard. How do you plead?"Ezr
The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย Sanctum of Shadows
Deep within the Withered Mountains, past the charred trees and forgotten trails where even the wind dared not linger, lay the hidden sanctuary of Elder Ericโthe last untouched corner of the old world. Here, ancient power still thrived, pulsing beneath the stone like a living heartbeat. The mountains whispered secrets no man should know, and shadows moved even when no light touched them.Carlos crouched low at the base of a moss-cloaked boulder, eyes fixed on the narrow crevice ahead. The entrance to the hideout was cleverly hiddenโa jagged slit in the rock, barely wide enough for a man to pass. The scent trail lingered in the air like a ghost: old blood, bitter herbs, and an undercurrent of twisted magic. It reeked of Elder Ericโs presence.He signaled to the elite trackers behind himโsilent shadows in black cloaks, hand-picked by King Draven for this mission. With blades drawn and senses sharpened, they followed him into the tight crevice.The passage twisted and narrowed as it led d
The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย The Final Battle.
The air still quivered with the echoes of battle, thick with the scent of blood, sweat, and burning magic. The eastern courtyard had become a battlefield once more, as the remaining werewolf warriors surged forward in a final attempt to protect their AlphaโKael.But Aurora and Draven stood as an unbreakable wall.They moved like shadows and flameโhis strikes calculated and devastating, hers swift and precise. The synergy between them was unmatched, as if their souls had memorized each otherโs rhythm. They fought back to back, blades singing through the air, cutting down enemies with ruthless efficiency.Yet, their eyes never strayed far from Kael.The werewolf Alpha roared across the field, his eyes glowing a sickly red, corrupted by the dark spells that now pulsed in his blood. His body bulged with unnatural power, veins blackened, muscles trembling from the strain of magic-enhanced strength.โThis ends today,โ Draven murmured, the silver gleam of his elder-forged sword catching the
The Dark Lord's Mate.ย ย ย The Sun King.
Asmada Ezraโs screech cut through the throne room like a blade. She lunged at Aurora, claws flashing in the violet torchlight. Aurora ducked, her instincts sharpened by battle, and countered with a quick, slicing blow across Asmada Ezraโs ribs. The dark-haired vampiress hissed, crimson eyes burning with fury."Youโll regret ever stepping into this world," Asmada Ezra snarled.Aurora didn't waste her breath on an answer. Her body moved on its own, vampire speed surging through her veins, colliding with Asmada Ezra again and again in a blur of flashing steel and snarling fangs. They tore across the throne room, knocking over columns and scattering the dying embers of shattered torches.Lilith fought her own battle at the other side of the hall, keeping the hybrid creatures at bay, but she could only spare a glance. She trusted Aurora to surviveโand to win.Aurora ducked under another claw swipe and slammed her shoulder into Asmada Ezraโs midsection. The impact sent them crashing through

Carlos and Aurora emerged from the tunnel, the hidden panel sliding shut behind them. The passage had left streaks of ash and blood on their clothes, but there was no time to restโnot while the scent of betrayal still lingered in the air.โWhere now?โ Aurora asked, eyes scanning the dim corridor. Her body remained tense, alert, even as her breath slowed.Carlos narrowed his gaze, nostrils flaring. โBack to the dungeons,โ he said. โIf Kael and Elizabeth were released from there, someone had to break the lockโor use a key.โThey moved swiftly through the lower levels of the castle, avoiding the main hallways where patrolling guards could be seen in the distance. Carlos kept to the shadows, Aurora moving beside him with the grace of a predator. The halls beneath the palace had always felt heavy with secrets, but tonight, the air seemed denser. Something foul lingered in every breath.As they neared the entrance to the dungeon wing, Carlos halted, raising a hand.โYou smell that?โ he aske
