Contemporary Paranormal Web Novels & Vampire Betrayal Stories

Nikolai Volkov is the Beast of the Ice—a scarred, aggressive hockey captain and the future leader of the Northwood Demon Syndicate. He lives for two things: the violence of the game and the burden of his father’s dark legacy. To save his family's future, he’s agreed to marry Chloe Moretti, the perfect, golden-haired woman the world expects him to want. But Nikolai has a secret. One night of masked passion with a stranger has left his inner demon burning for a woman he doesn’t know. Enter Bella Moretti. She’s cold, brilliant, and a powerful vampire hired to manage Nikolai’s chaotic career. She’s also Chloe’s sister. The moment they lock eyes in the boardroom, the truth hits like a body check: the stranger from the club is his future sister-in-law. Bella is no damsel. She’s a vampire who runs a business empire and isn't afraid of Nikolai’s horns. They are fated mates—a dynamic so rare for demons it is thought to be a myth—bound by a blood-link that could destroy two powerful families and a multi-million dollar hockey franchise. Now, they’re forced to travel together, work together, and pretend they don’t want to tear each other’s clothes off—all while the wedding countdown begins.

My aunt says I don’t belong at Blackthorn University. That girls like me don’t earn scholarships without giving something in return. I told myself I’d prove her wrong, that I'd keep my head down, follow the rules, and survive. But at a school like this, rumours spread faster than truth and now I’m one accusation away from losing everything. So when Adrian Laurent offers me a way out, I say yes. Even though everyone at Blackthorn knows one thing about him: Nothing he does is ever harmless.

“I’d rather embrace death than let that man lay a finger on me.” Those were the last words I hurled at him before darkness claimed me.
