LOGINWhen Alina strikes a desperate deal with her father, she enters the forbidden forest—only to be bitten by a venomous creature that should’ve killed her. Instead, she wakes up with fractured memories, a strange mark etched into her skin, and a bond she doesn’t understand… one that ties her to Valerian, the cold, commanding vampire who saved her life—or cursed it. As she recovers among his kind, Alina is forced to navigate the uneasy truce between Lycans and Vampires while uncovering the secrets buried by witches long ago. But the mate bond between her and Valerian grows stronger—and harder to deny. Ancient wars don’t stay buried, and neither do dangerous truths. Torn between loyalty to her pack and the dark pull of the vampire she never chose, Alina must decide what she’s willing to risk… before the blood that binds them becomes her ruin.

She’d left these clothes for me, saying it would be what I’d wear to the festival. The white gown reached down to my heels, sleeveless and elegant. A golden sash was tied tightly around my waist, and a long white strap wrapped around my neck like a choker. For weeks, I had been traveling with Valerian. I’d never had the chance to dress up, and he’d never seen me in a gown like this. Today would be the first. A flutter dropped in my stomach,
Alina pov: Tales of this kingdom had spread across the world, the kind you’d think only existed in fairytales. The land was a mystery, never found on any map, which led most humans to believe it was just a myth. But for us supernaturals—even we were considered myths—it was different. We believed the land was real. We believed it only opened its doors to those it chose. Who would've thought the Witch Forest was hidden here?If not for the urgent need to find the Witch Queen, I would’ve jumped out of the car and started my own adventure, searching for proof that all the legends I’d heard were real.Valerian kept driving along the narrow, winding path. The road wasn’t wide, and we’d been on it for almost an hour. How would we even recognize the Witch Forest when we reached it? All I could see were tall, eerie trees cloaked in thick fog, strange bird calls echoing through the stillness. The atmosphere made my stomach twist, the deeper we went.The car stopped abruptly. Valerian stepped o
Alina pov: i couldn't decide if I wanted him closer or not, the bindings held me in place— restricting my movement—his mouth was making me feel so much pleasure I hadn't even known was possible. I almost whimpered from the loss of contact when he pulled away from me Gasping, I barely had the time to catch my breath before I felt his fingers again sliding through my now sensitive spot—slow, teasing—as they brushed over the wetness his mouth had left behind. his fingers pressed on it, moving a circular motion, gentle at first, then deliberate. My toes curled. My head fell back."Mmh.." I bit my lip to stop the sound that slipped free, when I felt a sharp pain pierced through my nipples, it was so sudden that I let out a cry"Shhhhh, it'll ease" Valerian whispered as his fingers continued the circular motion. The pain did ease, just like he said—but it didn’t stop. It shifted, morphing into a strange vibration, a tugging, pulling sensation that shot down to my core. "Ah—aah—mmm" My b
Alina pov By the time we returned, night had already fallen. My shoulders felt light, still wrapped in the afterglow of our outing. Valerian had taken me mountain climbing and skydiving. It was easily one of the best experiences of my life.Standing at the peak of a mountain, screaming into the open sky without a care in the world, then plummeting through the air only to bounce back up—it was wild, freeing, and so alive. I’d had so much fun, I hadn’t even noticed the sun had dipped below the horizon. We had to cut the adventure short and return back.As we stepped into the house, I noticed something odd—the sitting room lights were still on, which was unusual during this time of the night. Usually, everyone would be off doing their own thing.“Xavier,” Valerian called out, slowing beside me. I followed his gaze.Xavier sat on the arm of the couch, arms crossed.
