This is my submission for this year's WSA. In a realm where humans and vampires coexist under a fragile truce, Princess Elara is thrust into an arranged marriage with Prince Draven, the enigmatic and feared vampire heir. The wedding, meant to secure peace between their kingdoms, takes place under the shadow of night—a fitting beginning for a union neither of them desires. Draven, the youngest son of the vampire king, has long been an outcast in his own court. Scorned by his father for resembling his deceased mother and tormented by his elder half-brothers, he has learned to endure loneliness and rejection. Marrying Elara was a desperate attempt to gain his father’s approval, but instead, it only intensifies the hostility within his fractured family. For Elara, entering the dark and unfamiliar world of the vampire court is terrifying. Stories of bloodthirsty monsters haunt her thoughts, but the man she meets is far from the monster she expected. As she navigates the labyrinth of vampire politics, family grudges, and ancient traditions, Elara begins to see beyond Draven’s cold exterior to the pain he hides. Together, Elara and Draven must confront not only their own fears and prejudices but also the enemies who conspire to destroy their fragile alliance. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, they find themselves drawn together by a bond neither anticipated. But love in a world of shadows comes at a price, and both Elara and Draven must fight to protect what they’ve found in each other before the darkness consumes them.

It started with a dare. Marrying Zeath Lupin was a blessing until he showed up with a pregnant woman at a family gathering. Now fighting for my marriage would be easier if he didn’t make divorce my choice.

It was annoying and irritated him, but he still closed his eyes silently and rested his back against the tree.
