Our blood-oath ceremony was on the horizon. But my fated mate, Darius, told me he had to forge a blood bond with another woman. Livia. He claimed her life force was unraveling. That without his blood, she would fade to nothing. I fought him. But the next day, he moved Livia directly into the Prince's Chambers in the Coven’s castle. That was the suite reserved for the future Prince’s mate. My suite. He tried to soothe me, sinking to his knees, his crimson eyes pleading. “Once she’s stable, I swear I’ll break the bond. You are my only eternity. You always will be.” But then Livia found me. She showed me the fresh, golden mark on her wrist—the symbol of an Eternal Bond. They had already completed the sacred rite. Long before Darius ever confessed to me. My heart shattered to ash. I dragged my nail across the calendar, carving a vicious X over the date that was supposed to be our blood-oath ceremony. Then I opened the encrypted message from the Vienna Coven Academy. “I accept. I’ll leave on the day of our ceremony.”

"If I can cheat, so can you. It’s an open marriage, babe. Get used to it." Those were the words my husband spat at me after I caught him with his third assistant this year. So, I took his advice. He thought he could break me. After ten years of his "open marriage" demands and revolving door of mistresses, I decided to play his game. So, I bought a man. A cold, nameless call boy to help me settle the score. I left $5,000 on the nightstand and slipped away before dawn, finally feeling even. Until I missed my period. Two hours after that, my husband dragged me to his firm's annual gala to meet the new CEO; the man who holds my husband's entire career in his hands. My heart stopped. Standing there in a $10,000 suit, looking like a lethal god, was my "call boy." Julian Vane isn't a sex worker. He’s the most powerful man in the state, my husband’s biggest rival, and... he’s the father of my baby.

Eli lives by structure, routine, and emotional restraint. As a university student, he finds comfort in libraries, late-night study sessions, and the certainty of logic. Feelings, especially complicated ones, are easier to ignore. That is, until Noah quietly becomes part of his world. What begins as shared academic spaces and casual conversations slowly turns into something heavier. Lingering glances, accidental touches, and silences charged with meaning begin to unravel Eli’s sense of control. He doesn’t understand the pull toward Noah or why his body reacts before his mind can catch up. Confused and afraid, Eli retreats, creating distance through denial and miscommunication, even as his feelings deepen. Noah remains patient and steady, offering closeness without pressure. As the tension between them builds, Eli is forced to confront the truth he has spent so long avoiding. Set against the quiet intensity of academia, this slow-burn romance explores longing, identity, and the fear of wanting something that feels both forbidden and inevitable.

Nachdem meine Eltern gestorben waren, wurde ich völlig unerwartet vom Alpha und der Luna adoptiert – und war damit der einzige Mensch im Rudelgebiet der Werwölfe. Zwanzig Jahre lang überschütteten mich ihre Zwillings-Nachfolger, die künftigen Alphas, mit Zuneigung. Ihr Werben und ihre Bevorzugung machten alle rasend vor Neid. Doch als ich mir einen von ihnen als Gefährten wählen wollte, wiesen mich beide als Gefährtin zurück. Kane sagte: „Ich will mich zuerst darauf konzentrieren, unser Rudelgebiet zu erweitern. Ich will noch nicht so früh eine Gefährtin finden.“ Liam sagte: „Menschen können Alpha-Blut nicht ertragen.“ Am nächsten Tag, bei meinem Geburtstagsbankett, machten beide gleichzeitig der Tochter einer Omega-Bediensteten einen Antrag. Um sie glücklich zu machen, zwangen sie mich, die Spirituose „Blood Flame“ zu trinken – etwas, das kein Mensch je hätte aushalten können. Ich war völlig am Boden zerstört. An dem Tag, an dem ich aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen wurde, rief ich meine Adoptivmutter an. „Ich bin bereit, den Vampirkönig zu heiraten.“
