Novel Web Fantasy & Cerita Vampire Forbidden Love Dark Romance

Everyone believes Elara is the unwanted daughter of one of the kingdom's richest merchants. Cold, unloved, and treated as nothing more than a burden, she expects her father's final betrayal—but not this. On her twentieth birthday, she is offered as payment to the most feared vampire lord in the realm. Lord Damien Ashcroft is as dangerous as the stories claim—cold, infuriatingly handsome, and armed with a wit sharp enough to cut through anyone's pride. He has no interest in a human bride, yet he accepts the bargain for reasons he refuses to reveal. Their marriage begins with resentment, sarcasm, and endless clashes. She despises his arrogance. He mocks her stubbornness. Neither has any intention of falling in love. But strange things begin to happen. Ancient vampires who have hidden in the shadows for centuries suddenly emerge. Assassins hunt Elara wherever she goes. Secrets buried for generations begin to unravel, revealing a truth more terrifying than either of them imagined. The man she called Father was never her father. Elara carries one of the last surviving bloodlines of an ancient race—a bloodline powerful enough to save the vampires from extinction... or destroy them forever. Now every vampire kingdom wants her. Some want to protect her. Others want her blood. As enemies close in and old prophecies awaken, Damien must choose between the survival of his people and the woman he never meant to love. Because in a world ruled by hunger... Love may be the deadliest thirst of all.

My father disappeared a year ago after giving me one piece of advice. Never go anywhere near Vivian. Vivian just happens to be my mother. The same mother who walked out of my life eleven years ago. When she suddenly invites me to move into her fancy Manhattan mansion with her ancient vampire bloodmate, I say no. Then I realize something. If anyone knows what happened to my father, it's probably the people he warned me about. Now I'm living under the same roof as a ridiculously attractive vampire who might have murdered my dad, pretending to be the perfect intern while secretly investigating him. As if that isn't enough, a terrifying Alpha werewolf takes one look at me and decides I'm his fated mate. Apparently my life wasn't chaotic enough already. The more questions I ask, the more bodies turn up, the more secrets I uncover, and the more I realize my father wasn't hiding from monsters. He was hiding me.Now someone wants my blood, two supernatural enemies refuse to leave my side, and if I don't uncover the truth soon...I'm probably going to end up as the next body.
