She lost everything in one night-the screams of her coven, the blood of her brother, the betrayal of someone they trusted. Ten years later, Seraphina Nightborne lives hidden among common vampires, pretending to be weak while silently preparing for revenge. But at a royal gathering, fate plays the cruelest trick of all. Her fated blood-bond mate walks in, Damien Valcourt. Future Vampire King. The man tied to the night her family died. The one who believes she's long dead. Her heart screams to reject him. Her vampire spirit refuses to bow, but Damien has waited years for his destined queen-and he will burn kingdoms before letting her disappear again. Forced into his world, torn between rage and the irresistible pull of destiny, Seraphina is determined to uncover the truth... even if it destroys her. What happens when the girl he mourned becomes the queen who hates him? What happens when Seraphina learns the true traitor is someone she still trusts? And when darkness returns... will she choose revenge? Or the vampire fate chained her heart to?

Bound by fate marked by betrayal Chapter 1 The Night of Blood

The air smelled of iron and fire.

Seraphina Nightborne, just nine years old, crouched behind a marble pillar in the throne room of the Northern Territory. She could hear it all-the screams of her coven, the clash of steel, the crackle of flames consuming everything her family had built for centuries.

Blood had a scent she would never forget. Sweet, coppery, suffocating. The kind that lingered in the air long after death claimed the body.

"Seraphina!"

Her brother, Lysander, came rushing through the smoke, sword in hand. His eyes were wide, panicked. "This way! Now!"

The child clutched his arm as he dragged her toward the secret passage under the castle. Her mind struggled to process what was happening. Her parents? Her coven? The family that had raised her, protected her... destroyed before her eyes?

"Where's Father? Mother?" she gasped.

Lysander's grip tightened. "We don't have time. Someone we trusted... betrayed us. They wanted us gone. You must survive!"

A shadow moved behind him. Seraphina froze.

It was one of the Nightborne's own-a vampire they had trusted, someone who had sworn loyalty to her father. Now, he wielded a sword with a casual ease, his eyes cold and unreadable.

Lysander turned, facing the intruder. "You will not take her. Not while I breathe."

Steel clashed.

The next moments were a blur. Lysander fought with the ferocity of a lion, but numbers and betrayal were against him. Seraphina watched in horror as the man, once an ally, drove a blade through her brother. His hands were bloodied as he fell, and in the moment before darkness could claim him, he pressed his face to hers.

"Run," he whispered. "Live. Remember."

The world collapsed around her.

Seraphina ran, dodging flames, broken stone, and falling bodies. Her small hands clutched her dagger, useless against the carnage but a reminder she had to fight. She did not look back, even when the cries of her coven echoed in her ears, even when the life of her brother faded from memory.

By dawn, Seraphina had crossed the territory's border. Exhausted, bloodied, she collapsed near the river, shivering from grief and adrenaline. The Nightborne castle, once a fortress of power, was nothing but smoke and ruin behind her.

She had lost everything.

But she was alive.

And with survival came a plan-a thirst for vengeance that would consume every part of her being.

She would find the traitor. She would uncover every lie. She would make them pay. And when she did, the world would remember the Nightborne name... through her fury, her power, and her unbroken will.

Years passed. Ten long years of hiding. Seraphina became a shadow in the Southern Territory, concealing her heritage. She moved among common vampires, appearing weak, timid, and unremarkable.

No one suspected that beneath the calm exterior lay a predator, trained in stealth, combat, and ancient blood magic. No one suspected that the little girl who had survived a massacre was now a vampire of lethal skill, intelligence, and patience.

Her revenge had become her life. Every day, she learned, observed, and prepared. Every night, she whispered the names of those she would destroy.

And now, destiny had chosen to play its cruelest trick.

A grand council of vampire lords had been announced, a gathering of power, politics, and intrigue. Among those summoned was Damien Valcourt-the future king, the heir of the North, the man who had been closest to her brother.

He believed she was dead.

Good. Let him mourn a ghost.

But the bond they shared, twisted and fated, would not be denied forever. And when she saw him again, the man tied to the night her family died, Seraphina would have to confront the pull of destiny-even as rage burned hotter in her veins than blood itself.

The Nightborne would not fall quietly. Not again.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
