For centuries, werewolves and vampires have lived on opposite sides of an ancient war, each taught to fear and hate the other. Seraphina Vale has just become the Alpha of Mooncrest after her father's death. Young, fierce, and determined to prove that she can protect her people, she refuses to show weakness, even when the most powerful vampire in existence crosses into her territory.

Now Seraphina must choose between the hatred she inherited and the love she never expected, while Lucien must decide whether he is willing to sacrifice his crown for the woman who once rejected him. Because if the prophecy is true, their love may save both kingdoms or their bond may become the reason one of them dies.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife,” the priest announced, a knowing smirk tugging at his lips. “You may now kiss your bride.” Enzo Caruso’s jaw tightened. His new wife was nothing like the woman he expected. “Don’t expect me to be gentle,” he warned. He didn’t wait for permission. His hand locked around her chin, and his mouth crashed against hers—dominant, demanding, and meant to remind her who was in control. But he forgot one thing. Lokie Martin never submitted. She bit him. Hard. Enzo stumbled back with a sharp hiss, blood dripping from the corner of his lips and staining his perfect white sleeve. “Psycho bitch,” he snarled. Lokie only smiled. Slowly, she licked the blood from her lips, her eyes gleaming with something dangerously wild. “Now,” she whispered, “we’re married.” And for the first time in Enzo Caruso’s life, he wondered if he had just married his greatest enemy… or his greatest obsession. Everyone knew Lokie Martin. A psychopath. A monster. A woman who wore violence like a crown. She never denied the rumors.

A woman with sharp teeth, a sharper tongue, and a soul too broken to be tamed. Their marriage was supposed to be a temporary alliance. Until hatred turned into fascination. Fights became the only moments they understood each other. Till neither of them could walk away.
