Winter's POV

Princess Bianca's eyes widened excitedly. "Dear brother!" She called out happily.

Crown Prince Alastor approached them and smiled at her sister. He approached Lorena and placed a kiss on her cheek, then he gave a small smile towards Giselle.

I swallowed hard. Princess Bianca wasn't lying. Lorena and the Crown Prince really had something going on.

"Are you enjoying yourself Sugarplum?" Prince Alastor sweetly asked Lorena making her blush.

Princess Bianca frowned. "Ever since you

  • The Vampire's Human Bride   13. MYSTERIOUS VAMPIRE

    Winter's POVNo one spoke. The throne room fell into a silence so profound that I could hear the faint crackle of the torches lining the stone walls.My heart pounded erratically inside my chest as his words echoed inside my head. 'She is my crown princess.'For a fleeting moment, I wondered if I had imagined them. My entire life, I had been treated as though I belonged to everyone except myself.Everyone had chosen my fate, to be the sacrificial bride to the vampires. My whole life, no one had ever asked what I wanted. Only he did.A murmur swept through the hall as the nobles exchanged bewildered glances. Some stared at Mavros in disbelief. Others turned toward me, as though seeing me for the first time.Even the minister looked momentarily speechless before he found his voice.“Your Highness,” he began carefully, “this matter concerns the safety of the Vampire Kingdom. Surely… such a decision should rest with you.”Every eye shifted back to Mavros.He remained composed upon his t

  • The Vampire's Human Bride   12. CROWN PRINCESS

    Winter's POVI sat uneasily in my seat, unable to stop thinking about Lord Demir’s face—or the way he had looked at me as though he would kill me the moment he was given the chance.And soon, I would be living under the same roof as him, far from the only place I had ever known, with no one left to protect me if that day ever came.“Don’t worry about him,” Mavros whispered beside me, drawing my attention away from Demir. I blinked at him. I thought only I noticed the murderous look Demir had been directing at me. “He’ll calm down eventually,” Mavros said. “And even if he doesn’t, he cannot harm you now. You are the Crown Princess.”My heart skipped a beat.He was right.I was no longer the helpless girl who had been powerless to protect herself. For the first time in my life, I held a title powerful enough that no one would dare harm or ridicule me.Or at least... I hope it would. Then it was my father’s turn.I watched as he stepped into the center of the hall, every stride calm a

  • The Vampire's Human Bride   11. WEDDING GIFTS

    Winter’s POVI returned to the banquet hall still feeling strangely detached, as though part of me had remained behind in that quiet room with Father.“Her Royal Highness has returned,” King Alaric proclaimed. “We shall now proceed with the presentation of gifts.”A ripple of excitement immediately swept through the hall. Nobles straightened in their seats, whispering eagerly among themselves, and several servants began moving toward the doors.Their reaction surprised me.“Are you all right?” Mavros asked as I took the seat beside him.I gave him a curt nod.His gaze lingered on me for a moment before he leaned closer.“This is usually the most entertaining part of the evening,” he murmured.I glanced at him.“They’ll spend the next hour trying to outdo one another,” he continued, his voice low enough that only I could hear. “Each gift will be more extravagant than the last, and every giver will pretend it was offered out of affection rather than ambition.”The corner of his mouth li

  • The Vampire's Human Bride   10. THORNED ROSE

    Winter’s POVI pulled my hand from his and stared at him as though he had lost his mind. “Father, we can’t just leave,” I blurted out.My eyes darted toward the door, worried that someone is out there is listening or that a guard would burst inside at any moment. “The palace is surrounded. There are guards everywhere, and they are watching me. With the vampires involved, we won’t even make it beyond the gardens before they catch us.”“They won’t catch us,” he said firmly. “I promise.”The certainty in his voice only made me stare at him harder. “I have men stationed throughout the palace who are still loyal to me. I have carefully planned everything. A carriage is already waiting out there for us."He reached for my arm. “Come with me. We don’t have much time.”The moment his hand closed around me, I pulled away and stepped back.He froze.For a heartbeat, surprise crossed his face. Then it faded, replaced by something heavier, something that settled deep in his eyes.“I’m sorry, Win

  • The Vampire's Human Bride   9. ESCAPE PLAN

    Winter’s POVThe wedding ceremony ended in a chorus of applause.As the last blessing was spoken, the solemn atmosphere dissolved into celebration. Musicians filled the gardens with lively melodies while servants moved gracefully through the crowd, carrying gilded trays laden with delicacies and crystal goblets brimming with wine.The long banquet tables quickly filled with guests from both kingdoms.To my surprise, there was no invisible line separating humans from vampires. They sat beside one another as though they had been acquaintances for years.A human noble raised his goblet toward a vampire lord, and the vampire answered with a smile before clinking his glass against the other’s. Nearby, a group of ladies from the human court laughed openly at something one of the vampire noblewomen had said. Even the soldiers, once rigid during the ceremony, had begun exchanging stories over food and drink.Laughter echoed throughout the gardens. Warm, carefree, and genuine.If I hadn’t kn

  • The Vampire's Human Bride   8. FIRST KISS

    Winter’s POVI gazed through the small window as the last traces of daylight disappeared from the sky. When the moon finally rose, a heavy sense of dread settled deeper into my chest.I wondered what the man I was about to marry was feeling at that very moment. Did he dread this marriage too? Did the thought of taking a human bride disgust him as much as the thought of marrying a vampire terrified me?I knew nothing about the vampire crown prince. Living in the human kingdom, I had never even heard rumors about him. He could be three hundred years old—or if it could make it worse, more than a thousand.The thought turned my stomach. I imagined what he might look like. Pale, wrinkled, bloodshot eyes dulled by centuries, wisps of hair clinging to a corpse that refused to die. It no longer mattered whether he dreaded this marriage or waited hungrily for me. The marriage itself is not what terrified me the most. It was what would happen after our marriage. I could imagine his cold fing
