The Bloodbound Awakening
Werewolf "Bloodbound Awakening" is a darkly seductive Gothic fantasy that weaves together romance, betrayal, and supernatural intrigue. When seventeen-year-old Elian arrives in the ancient, mist-cloaked town of Veyruhn on a school trip, she expects cobblestone streets and historical tours-not the haunting visions that plague her from the moment she steps off the bus. Shadows whisper her name, dreams drag her into candlelit corridors of a past not her own, and a name echoes in her mind like a curse: Raelith.
Driven by curiosity and an inexplicable pull, Elian sneaks into the forbidden Museum of Veyruhn, where a life-sized statue of a fanged king waits in a circle of iron runes. When a drop of her blood awakens the stone, the vampire Raelith rises-centuries-old, betrayed, and bound to her bloodline. He recognizes her immediately: the last living descendant of Seraphina, the woman who cursed him.
But Elian is no willing pawn in this ancient game. As Raelith's presence consumes her-his voice in her mind, his memories bleeding into her dreams-she learns the horrifying truth. Seraphina didn't betray him out of cruelty. She was manipulated by a secret Order, tricked into binding Raelith's soul to their bloodline so that one day, a descendant like Elian could finish the job.
Now, as the blood moon approaches, the past and present collide. The Order's hunters descend on Veyruhn, determined to kill Raelith-and Elian, the key to his destruction. Torn between her growing connection to the tormented vampire and her loyalty to her friends, Elian must confront the darkest parts of herself. Is she merely a vessel for Seraphina's legacy, or can she rewrite fate?
With lush, atmospheric prose and relentless tension, "Bloodbound Awakening" explores the thin line between love and obsession, destiny and free will. As Elian and Raelith navigate treacherous catacombs, forgotten magic, and their own tangled desires, they must face an inescapable truth: some bonds are stronger than blood. And some betrayals echo forever.
Perfect for fans of:
"A Court of Thorns and Roses" (Sarah J. Maas) – for its seductive enemies-to-lovers tension
"The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" (V.E. Schwab) – for its haunting exploration of memory and identity
"From Blood and Ash" (Jennifer L. Armentrout) – for its blend of Gothic atmosphere and heart-pounding stakes
Themes:
Destiny vs. Choice – Can Elian escape her bloodline's curse?
Love as Salvation or Destruction – Is her bond with Raelith real, or just magic?
The Cost of Power – What will Elian sacrifice to survive?
Why Readers Will Love It:
A morally gray vampire antihero with a tragic past
A strong but conflicted heroine wrestling with inherited guilt
Lush, immersive worldbuilding blending European folklore and Gothic horror
Slow-burn romance laced with danger and deception
Twists that reframe everything-including who the real villains are
Final Hook:
As the blood moon rises, Elian must make an impossible choice-complete Seraphina's betrayal and kill Raelith, or bind her soul to his forever. But the Order isn't the only threat lurking in Veyruhn's shadows. Something older than Raelith stirs beneath the town, and it hungers for them both...

From the author of the international bestselling book: "The Alpha King's Hated Slave." Don't Leave Me, Mate
AlisTae "Ahh!"
She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him.
His hands began to move all over her body.
She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed.
"D-Don't touch m-ummm!"
His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body.
With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear,
"I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything. Every time you touch another man, you will only think of me."

The Lycan Prince's Puppy
chavontheauthor "You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck.
A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself.
He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken.
What was I doing?
In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement.
"You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate."
"And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go."
"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
