Morbid Attachment

A golden grave, a tarot card in flames, nauseating sex sounds between her best friend and her musician boyfriend, one curse, extreme poverty, and ruined mental health... what could be the peak of this madness? A fated mortal bride to the Vampire King. ☆ Wish had always tried to be strong, but life's trials always held the upper hand—until she stumbled upon a peculiar grave among many lonely ones. That discovery marked the beginning of her rebirth and her journey toward being fated to a devastatingly handsome, funny, and weird—yet slightly dangerous—Vampire King from a whole new dimension of monsters. He fell for her first, but she fell even harder, and at the speed of light, they became inseparable and deeply in love, regardless of their race, status, pasts, fears, or strengths.

It all seemed easy at first—a love worth fighting for and a feeling you could hold on to. They believed nothing could tear them apart; all he needed was a glimpse of his beautiful, shy bride to keep him sane, and everything was promised to be alright as long as they remained faithful. What they didn't see coming was that their union in unholy matrimony would soon mean they’d never see each other again, and their love and passion would be put to the trial by fire and countless tribulations—challenges Wish never imagined she could survive. ☆☆☆☆☆ | Fast Paced Romance Novel| |Mature Content| | Daily Updates Is Promised|

Adeline Smith's life took a sudden and dangerous turn when her grandmother’s will named her as the sole heir to her massive fortune, leaving her uncle with nothing. But the rules that came with the inheritance only made her a target, as her uncles would stop at nothing to claim what they believed should have been theirs. When one of her uncle’s murderous schemes left her gravely wounded and on the edge of death, she was found by Enzo Laureati, an annoying, yet breathtakingly handsome man. What she did not know was that Enzo was no ordinary man—he was a vampire prince who had abandoned his world and royal duties to live among humans just for fun. The moment he saw Adeline, he knew she was his mate, as his heart that had remained dormant for hundreds of years suddenly began beating. But despite knowing what she meant to him, he felt no love or attachment toward her. Out of curiosity, Enzo saved Adeline’s life and proposed an unusual deal: he would become her fake fiancé, help her expose her uncles for trying to murder her, and secure her inheritance. But he didn't propose this deal because he wanted to help her, but because he was simply bored. Adeline agreed, unaware of the chaos that was about to come her way. At first, their partnership was nothing more than a random deal. Living with Enzo wasn’t easy, as he was infuriatingly confident, annoyingly flirty, and had a knack for driving her crazy with his nonchalant attitude. When Adeline finally discovers who Enzo truly is, will she see him as a monster or the man who had always protected her from her uncles? And will Enzo be able to embrace their mate bond, or will secrets tear them apart?

Handling of weapons, including in magical form. Murder, manslaughter and the normal dose of intoxicants such as drugs, tobacco and enchantments. Human lives are more likely to be regarded as collateral damage here. When spirits, gods and demons fight each other, you shouldn't attach too much importance to that. Trust, a stable environment, mental health and spiritual mentality are also reduced to rubble. Friends, family, cities and entire regions. Have fun :D
