They called her weak. They mocked her silence. They thought she was nothing. But Avelyn was never powerless-she was just patient. When her fated mate cheated on her and rejected her, Avelyn's world shattered. Her village turned its back on her, spitting on her pain and branding her worthless. Humiliated and heartbroken, she vanished into the shadows-burning with betrayal, rage, and a thirst for revenge. But fate wasn't finished with her. A twist of destiny lands her in the feared Vampire King's palace-and in his arms. Fierce, ruthless, and impossibly magnetic, King Kaelen Varyn sees what others ignored. He doesn't just want her. He claims her. And then, the unthinkable- He's her second-chance mate. As secrets unravel, enemies gather, and the ghosts of her past rise, Avelyn must make a choice: Forgive those who broke her... or make them bleed. One thing is certain- The hidden queen is done staying silent.

The Vampire King's Hidden Queen Chapter 1 Prologue: The Night of the Mark

The wind howled through the trees like a living thing wild, relentless, thick with ash and murmurs older than time.

Elara Draven stood at the center of the ancient grove, her cloak snapping in the wind, blood trailing from her palm as it dripped onto the cold surface of the obsidian altar. Moonlight, pale and unwavering, spilled through the tangled branches above, casting silver shadows across the runes that encircled her. They pulsed faintly, each one thrumming with a restless, ancient energy.

She didn't flinch.

Not even as the forest watched her, its silence heavy with judgment.

"One child," the prophecy had warned. "Born of blood, marked by flame, hidden from fate."

And tonight, the mark would awaken.

In her arms, a tiny whimper stirred. Avelyn, barely a few weeks old, curled against her chest, her skin soft and unmarred. Innocent. For now.

Elara's lips brushed her daughter's forehead in a trembling kiss. "Forgive me," she whispered, eyes glistening. "This is the only way."

From the darkness behind her, a second presence emerged steady, measured, dangerous in its stillness.

Thorian Draven stepped from the shadows, his sword untouched at his hip, but his eyes, golden and intense burned with conflict. Her mate. Her warrior. The man who had begged her to choose another path.

"Elara," he said, his voice gravel and grief. "We don't have to do this. The elders... they don't have to know."

"They will," she replied, never turning from the altar. "The moment she learns to walk, they'll sense it. Feel it in her blood. And they'll fear her for what she is."

"She's our child," he growled, stepping closer. "Not a weapon."

"She will be both," Elara said softly, "and more."

The runes answered her words, flaring to life no longer dormant. The grove trembled as the ancient magic stirred, as if recognizing the power in the infant's veins.

She turned to the altar and gently laid Avelyn down upon the stone. The baby cried out, her tiny fists clenching at the sudden cold.

Elara drew the ceremonial dagger once more. Her hand didn't shake.

In the language of the old blood, she spoke the words, each syllable steeped in power. Her blood trickled into the carved grooves of the altar, fusing with the symbols etched deep into the stone. They drank it greedily, like fire racing through cracked earth.

"Hidden you must be," she chanted, "until pain wakes your flame. Until betrayal births your crown. Until the King finds the Queen."

The wind screamed.

The runes blazed.

Avelyn's skin shimmered, and then it began.

A mark slowly emerged over her heart delicate, yet unmistakable. Flames woven with stars, glowing faintly beneath her skin. Not a clan sigil. Not even the crest of noble blood.

It was the seal of the Shadowblood Line ancient vampire royalty, thought to be lost to time and ash.

Elara stepped back, eyes wide as the grove heaved around her, the trees groaning under the weight of the magic. The spell was complete. The seal had taken.

Avelyn's fate was no longer just hers.

It belonged to prophecy.

To power.

And to war.

Thorian moved forward, lifting their daughter into his arms, cradling her as if to protect her from what had just transpired. "She won't understand why we did this," he murmured, voice rough with sorrow.

"She will," Elara replied, her voice breaking on the wind. "One day, she'll remember. She'll know we believed in her... even when the world didn't."

Above them, clouds crawled across the moon, dimming its silver eye.

The forest held its breath.

And far to the north, across frozen peaks and scorched lands, in a forgotten palace veiled in fire and shadows, a king stirred in his sleep-dreaming of a girl with flame in her blood... and vengeance burning in her eyes.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
4.5

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
