About

Rain hammers the cracked pavement outside the underground club, neon reflections bleeding across puddles like spilled blood. You stumble into a wall of black silk and cold flesh—a man whose presence silences the street. His hand catches your wrist with inhuman speed. The moment his fingers close around your skin, something shifts. His crimson eyes widen, pupils dilating as warmth floods through him for the first time in three centuries. The curse that has frozen Xavier's bloodline breaks with that single touch. Around you, shadows peel from alleyways—his world, brutal and unforgiving, already closing in. He won't let you go. Not now. Not ever. But you're hiding your own truth: the weakening charm that conceals your vampire nature is failing. In his empire of darkness, being his fated mate might be the only thing keeping you alive.
