In a realm where humans and vampires are bound by an uneasy truce, Aurora Wynters, a fierce vampire hunter, lives for vengeance. Ever since losing her family to bloodthirsty vampires, she has trained with a mysterious group of hunters, sworn to rid the world of their monstrous enemy. But her unyielding resolve is tested when a fateful encounter leads her to the heart of Darkhaven, the vampire kingdom ruled by the enigmatic and ruthless Prince Zach Darkhaven. Zach, the eldest of three brothers, is destined to inherit the throne and shoulder the burdens of his fractured kingdom. Cold and commanding, he has buried his kindness deep beneath the expectations of leadership. Yet, when Aurora is brought to him as a prisoner, her defiance and fiery spirit ignite something within him that he thought long dead: a spark of hope—and perhaps love. Caught between her vow to destroy vampires and the growing connection with the prince who is supposed to be her enemy, Aurora must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, political intrigue, and forbidden desires. Her captivity sets off a chain of events that not only threatens Zach’s reign but also the fragile balance of the entire realm. As Zach struggles to protect Aurora from his conniving brother Elian, envious allies like Kayla, and the ever-growing human threat, Aurora faces her own battles. Can she trust her heart with a man who embodies everything she despises? And can their bond survive the secrets, conspiracies, and betrayals that surround them? "You make me question everything, Aurora," Zach murmured, his voice low and rough, as if he hated himself for the admission. His hand brushed against her cheek, lingering as if tethered by an unseen force. "You shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t want you... but I do." In this tale of love and war, where blood is currency and alliances are fragile, Aurora and Zach must decide if their love is worth defying fate—and tearing their worlds apart.

Il y a 5 ans, la Terre a été le théâtre d'un événement désormais connu sous le nom de “L'Éveil du Monde”. À ce moment-là, le monde a complètement changé. Le mana s'est réveillé dans le monde, les portails ont commencé à s'ouvrir, et un écran holographique est apparu devant les yeux de chaque humain, qui détaillait leur “statut”. Chaque individu s'est vu attribuer un talent pour commencer, allant de capacités simples comme une vue améliorée à des trucs de fantasy fous comme la pyrokinésie. Et au sein de cette myriade d'abilités, Damien s'est éveillé à une affinité spatiale avec la compétence de “téléportation à courte distance”. Au début, il était excité, pensant à des combats intenses et à acquérir un grand pouvoir, mais la réalité a été rapide à le ramener à la raison. Son habileté ne fonctionnait que dans la zone de 10 mètres autour de lui, et ses statistiques physiques étaient incroyablement faibles, le laissant fatigué après avoir utilisé son pouvoir quelques fois. Désillusionné par sa faiblesse, Damien a vécu une vie tranquille en faisant tout ce qu'il pouvait pour joindre les deux bouts, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, tout change. Damien a été trahi et jeté dans un portail, laissé pour compte à se défendre seul dans un labyrinthe de bêtes. Quelque chose a craqué en lui ce jour-là. Il refusait de rester faible et de baisser la tête plus longtemps. Lorsqu'il émergea des ténèbres, il se retrouva dans un nouveau monde, sans idée de comment retourner sur Terre. Cependant, il n'était plus le même enfant qu'au moment de sa chute. ===== Discord : https://discord.gg/sEfafFXazb ===== Couverture par Lia.Audelia

He inches closer, a single finger roaming her heated skin. Breath mingling with breath. A loud bang vibrates through the room, so thunderous as if god himself was furious. Slowly he looks up staring out the large glass windows to the backyard, "You have a visitor." His rasps calmly. "Who?" Rose quickly fires, feigning ignorance. She knew well enough who it was. Her nightly visitor has arrived. Surprising, He only visits when she is alone. "One who comes out at night. Lurking in the shadows, in the darkness... just like its intensions." He looks down still leaning on top her, once more pinning her with his intense gaze. "Are you afraid?" His voice dead serious, eyes going back to look outside. And Rose lied, "No." But is it a lie when her fear was never really rooting enough to make her run the other way but instead often getting mixed with exhilaration. "You should be." He leaves her staring wide eyed on the sofa and goes to stand before the glass panes. "It's not happy to see me here. I can see the raging pits of fire in it's gaze. Ready to burn me right where I stand." he chuckled, sounding most sinister, "It definitely wants to rip my innards out." "You should take off your shirt." He suggests casually. "Excuse me?" "Let's see if it riles him up even more to shatter instead of just slamming the windows like a wuss." He rouses under his breath, his excited provocative tone not escaping Rose's attention. What the hell is he up to? "This isn't funny." Rose sputters out, standing up from the couch. "I'm not trying to be." He faces her again, sporting a deadpan face. "Whatever. You think I'm one of your stupid fan girls to take my shirt off just because you want to rile someone up? Besides, there's probably no one outside and you're only making it up to see my boobs like a pervert." His eyes roams her from top to bottom, there was distaste evident in his gaze. "When he comes at night and leaves a little something for you, maybe then you take off your clothes for him... like a slut." Rome stared into her eyes with nothing behind those icy orbs to show for a lack of meaning behind his words. Because he means every single thing he says to her. "Get. Out. Now!" Rose boomed furiously. "Whatever, I was leaving anyway. This has become boring." He walks towards her front door. "Wait. How do you know he comes at night and leaves something?" her eyes narrow. "Because I've seen it before." "You saw him? It is a real guy?" Rose wanted to confirm, for some reason she thought otherwise. "I never said I saw him. I've only seen it happening to someone else." "Whom?" "You don't need to know." He closes off. "Then at least tell me what happened to her? Can I meet this person?" "You can't." Refusing calmly he was almost out the door when Rose pleads against hope. "Please." "You can't because she disappeared." Those were the words that finally did it. Brought her racing heart and buzzing head to a sudden halt. "Never to be seen again." "When he stops visiting, that's when you should be most afraid." His words rang like a siren in the silence of her mind as he left. Now she felt true fear for the first time. == In the embrace of her ancestral town, Rose seeks refuge from the echoes of her past. Little does she know, her return to her roots will awaken dormant shadows, shattering ordinary her existence. For when the darkness falls over the town, from the pitch black rises a shadowy figure that haunt her nights.
