All Chapters of Claimed By The Blood Sovereign : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Cold metal bit into my wrists as heavy iron chains slammed me against the velvet-draped pedestal. My bare feet trembled on the freezing marble floor. Bright spotlights blinded me, but I felt the weight of hundreds of dark, predatory eyes locked onto my skin like starving wolves.“Look at her,” the auctioneer’s booming voice echoed through the underground ballroom of the Crimson Gala. The Gala was a secret market where ancient vampire lords bought human servants and rare bloodlines. “Pure, untouched human blood. No chemicals, no alterations. Starting bid: five million dollars.”My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. I did not care about the money. I cared about the sole reason I was standing on this stage—my seven-year-old sister, Lily. My uncle had used my life to cover his half-million-dollar gambling debt, leaving Lily locked in a lower-district cage as collateral. If I was sold to a low-tier vampire tonight, I would be drained dry before sunrise, and Lily would be t

Pain flared through my chest like hot glass. The Thrall Bond was tearing at my organs, punishing my body for the distance between Julian and me. Every breath felt like inhaling sharp razor blades. I clutched my ribs, trembling on the cold marble floor as the massive vampire intruder stepped through the shattered wooden door.He was huge, covered in thick iron armor splashed with crimson blood. His yellow eyes burned with wild greed as his gaze locked onto me.“So this is the girl,” he growled, his voice sounding like grinding stones. He wiped his bloody blade on his leather pants, taking heavy steps toward me. “Lord Victor will pay fifty million for your head, human. Or perhaps I’ll take a taste of your sweet blood first.”My heart slammed against my ribs. The physical agony in my chest almost made me black out, but the terror running through my veins forced my muscles to move. I couldn't die here. Lily was still trapped in that cage, relying on me to save her.“Stay back,” I rasped,

The fire under my skin wasn't just heat—it was a roaring inferno consuming every cell in my body.I writhed on the silk mattress, my fingers clawing at the sheets as the glowing golden crest above my hipbone pulsed like a second heart. Every beat sent a wave of liquid electricity through my veins, making my hips arch upward involuntarily. My vision swam with gold and crimson, the world blurring into pure sensory overload."Elena, look at me," Julian’s voice commanded. It wasn't loud, but it cut straight through the haze in my head, vibrating directly inside my mind.He hovered over me, his massive frame blocking out the light of the burning courtyard outside. His large, cool hands framed my face, his thumbs pressing firmly against my flushed cheekbones. The moment his cold skin met mine, a sharp gasp burst from my lungs. The contrast was so intense it made my entire body shudder."It hurts..." I choked out, tears of heat stinging my eyes. "Julian, it feels like I'm burning alive!""Yo

The ground dissolved into a void of crumbling stone and roaring darkness."Elena!" Lily screamed, her small hands clawing at the fracturing floor as the marble slabs tilted downward into the abyss.Before she could slip, Julian moved with violent speed. He grabbed Lily by the scruff of her shirt with one hand, throwing her effortlessly up onto the solid ledge near the throne platform. In the exact same breath, his other arm locked around my waist, pulling my body flush against his chest as the ground under our feet caved in completely.We fell together into the dark.Wind whipped my hair into my face as we plunged straight through the shattered foundations of the citadel. I clung to Julian's neck, my face buried in the crook of his shoulder, inhaling his scent—a lethal blend of cold rain, ash, and pure power.Julian’s warrior runes flared bright gold, casting blinding light across the falling debris. With a deep growl, he thrust his sharp claws directly into the sheer stone cliff face

Julian’s shadow magic crashed through the subterranean cavern like an iron curtain.The gold radiance pouring from my collarbone cut straight through the obsidian spear’s dark suppression field, completely shattering the Executor’s anti-magic grip. Released from his shackles, Julian moved faster than human eyes could track.He closed the distance to the nearest guard in a fraction of a second. His bare hand slammed into the soldier’s chest plate, tearing through the tempered steel and ripping the guard’s throat open before the man could raise his broadsword. Blood sprayed across the ancient stone wall."Kill her! Target the human!" the Grand Executor screamed, backing away into the shadows while waving his remaining three guards forward. "Her blood is breaking the field!"Two armored guards rushed me, their heavy double-edged blades raised.I didn't cower. The ancient Sun-Queen mark on my throat burned hot, filling my veins with a fiery, instinctual power that made my skin hum. I swun
