Paradise Bay is a haven for supernatural beings, but not all coexist peacefully. But Vampires and Shifters are sworn enemies, bound by ancient laws that forbid any mingling between their species. Freyr, a brooding vampire with a hunger he cannot explain, becomes obsessed with Alpha Tor, the enigmatic leader of the Bay Shifter pack. His craving isn't just for blood—it's for something deeper, though he cannot name it. For weeks, Freyr stalks Tor through the misty forests and treacherous cliffs of Hanka Island. He doesn't realize that Tor has been aware of his shadowy admirer all along. Curiosity ignites a fire within the alpha, and he lets the vampire's stalking game continue, waiting for the perfect moment to confront him. But destiny intervenes when a violent avalanche traps them together in the icy depths of the mountains. The storm leaves them with no escape and nowhere to hide. For the first time, Freyr and Tor come face to face, and the truth cannot be avoided: Freyr’s forbidden hunger and Tor's dangerous intrigue blur the lines between the predator and the prey. Excerpt from Alpha Tor's POV: “So, you’ve been pretending to keep a distance but here you are,” Tor’s deep growl echoed in the icy cavern. His golden eyes caught the flicker of torchlight, his breath misted in the freezing air, curling like smoke between them. The figure across from him stiffened, pale as moonlight, eyes sharp and predatory, the vampire stepped closer, but not too close. He was cautious and calculating. “What gave me away?” Freyr’s voice was low, smooth yet filled with a low hiss that escaped his mouth. Tor laughed a deep rumble that shook the cavern walls. “You reek of desperation. Do you think I didn’t notice your scent clinging to the trees? Are your footprints melting the frost? What is it, vampire? What do you want from me?” Freyr’s jaw clenched, but his gaze didn’t waver. “Your blood,” he admitted finally, his voice sharper now. “Your kind is... intoxicating. Forbidden. I can’t stop myself.” The admission sent a chill down Tor’s spine—not from fear, but something far more dangerous. He should’ve torn this vampire apart the moment they were alone. But here, under the weight of the mountain and Freyr's unrelenting gaze, his desire rose, and he chose to get closer to him. ******************************************************************************* Trapped together in the harsh wilderness, the lines between hunger, hatred, and passion blur as Freyr and Tor wrestle with their forbidden connection. In the shadows of Paradise Bay, they must decide whether to defy the ancient laws that bind their kind—or risk everything for a love that could shatter their worlds.
