Eternal Shadows follows the tumultuous romance between Clara, a young woman seeking belonging, and Lucian, an enigmatic vampire with a haunting past. As they navigate their age gap and the challenges posed by Lucian's dark history, they become entwined in a mystery involving murder and betrayal. Their love is tested as Clara uncovers secrets that could tear them apart. Ultimately, they face their greatest fears together, leading to a thrilling conclusion that balances love and redemption amidst the shadows of their world.

Chapter 1 The Enigmatic Encounter

In the misty town of Eldermoor, 18-year-old Clara often felt out of place among her peers. One fateful night, she wandered into the woods, seeking solitude. There, she stumbled upon a hidden glade illuminated by moonlight. Standing amidst the shadows was Lucian, a striking vampire who appeared to be in his early twenties but had lived for over 200 years. His dark hair framed his chiseled features, and his piercing blue eyes held centuries of wisdom and sorrow.

Their first conversation was electric, filled with unspoken tension and a mutual understanding of loneliness. Clara was drawn to Lucian's charisma, captivated by his tales of a bygone era. Despite the age gap, an undeniable attraction simmered between them. As the night deepened, Lucian shared glimpses of his past-stories of love lost and battles fought. Clara felt both exhilarated and apprehensive. She sensed a darkness surrounding him, a weight of unresolved guilt that made her heart race. Yet, as they stood together, Clara knew she was embarking on a journey that would forever change her life.

Lucian, too, felt the pull of Clara's innocence and spirit, a stark contrast to his own tumultuous existence. They exchanged promises to meet again, setting the stage for a bond that would transcend time and societal expectations. However, as Clara left the glade, a lingering feeling of foreboding washed over her, hinting at the dangers lurking in the shadows of their burgeoning romance

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
