The Nun's Lustful Desire
My wife does not join them.
Saraphina sits beside me, straight-backed and calm, her sharp eyes moving across the room. She watches the nobles like a merchant checks his books—who drinks too much, who whispers too closely, and who still owes her family a debt.
Eight hundred years old, yet she looks like she stepped out of an unfinished painting. Pale skin, black hair pinned with silver thorn-shaped combs, and eyes like old wine.
My Luna, Saraphin, is an ancient vampire—elegant, brilliant, and dangerous. She controls the realm’s taxes and royal treasury. Vampires think in centuries, not days, and Saraphina’s greatest weapon is wealth.
