Obsidian Bride

In a kingdom ruled by vampires, peace between rival blood clans is fragile—held together by an ancient pact requiring the vampire High Lord, Dorian Veyr, to take seven brides, one from each clan, every hundred years. This time, however, Dorian has a secret. He doesn't care for politics, nor for the war-thirsty nobles that circle like vultures. He only wants her—Kaelira, the sixth bride. But Kaelira isn't who she seems. A commoner posing as a noble, she's been trained since childhood to infiltrate the palace and assassinate the High Lord. Her people have lived in the shadows, suffering under vampire rule, and she’s their last hope. She’s meant to kill him on their wedding night and disappear into legend. What Kaelira never expected was to find herself drawn to Dorian- his kindness, his loneliness, his terrifying beauty… and the way he looks at her as if he’s known her forever. Because he has. Centuries ago, Kaelira lived another life as the mortal woman who betrayed Dorian and sparked a civil war that nearly destroyed the vampire race. Reborn with no memory of who she once was, she now finds herself caught in a deadly tangle of past and present, love and vengeance. But the seventh bride is arriving and she’s not a pawn. She’s a weapon. As betrayal brews and ancient prophecies awaken, Kaelira must make an impossible choice: fulfill her mission and kill the only man who’s ever truly loved her, or protect him, and watch the world burn.

But when her service nears its end, a new chain is fastened around her neck, marriage to Luca Morano, the family’s feared and volatile heir.

What if the very secrets hold were the reason her father died? Will Lorenzo rise again not as her saviour but as her enemy? Or rise from the ashes of her past and take control of a world that tried to silence her?

For fourteen years I’ve slept beside a stranger, Lupus Caspian, the Silver Fang Alpha everyone fears…and the male I was forced to marry. We share a bed, a title, a pack, but never a heart. At least, that’s what I believed, then blood hit stone. An ancient intruder tore through our manor wards and cracked open the crypt under our home, waking a curse older than the pack itself, and calling to me. In that rush of moon-fire, secrets snapped free: I’m not just his Luna by contract, I’m the last living blood of the Moon Priestess. My pulse can seal the rift splitting our territory…or feed the darkness clawing through it. Now the pack whispers that my death could save them! Rivals circle, prophecies twist, and Lupus...the cold Alpha who never touched my heart, suddenly won’t let me out of his sight. His claim burns, his enemies want my blood, fate wants my life. But If I choose the pack, I might die, if I choose myself, the pack might bur, and if I choose him…everything changes. I was given to the Alpha as a bride, and I may rise beside him as something far more dangerous. The question is: Will I sacrifice myself? Or survive…or rewrite a destiny set in stone?

The moonlight spilled through the canopy of the dark forest, casting an eerie glow on the man lounging against an ancient tree. Morris was impossibly handsome—too handsome to be real. His sharp jawline, framed by tousled black hair, was shadowed by the flicker of firelight in his golden eyes. He swirled a goblet of wine lazily in his hand, his lips curved into a devilish smirk. Elowen froze, captivated. He looked like a prince from a forbidden story, but something in the air warned her he was no mortal. “Lost, little lamb?” His voice was velvet, dark and smooth, wrapping around her like a spell. “I was...just—” she stammered, but he stood in one fluid motion, closing the distance between them. “Just wandering into my domain,” he interrupted, his tone teasing yet dangerous. “How bold of you.” His gaze raked over her, and her heart pounded under the weight of his attention. “You shouldn’t be here,” he murmured, stepping closer until she could feel the heat radiating from him. “Do you know who I am?” She shook her head, her throat dry. “I am Morris,” he said, his voice dropping to a low, seductive growl. “The devil. The one your kingdom fears, the one your priests curse. And now,” he leaned in, his golden eyes glowing like embers, “you’ve wandered straight into my hands.” The shadows around him seemed to ripple with his amusement as a smirk played on his lips. He extended a hand, his voice both a command and an invitation. “Come closer, Elowen. Let me show you what happens when innocence meets the devil.”
