"Yes." Her voice, loud and clear, resounding in the silence of the cold car. "I will do it." She said and paused. "But on one condition." "And what would that be?" he asked impatiently with brows raised. "Be my Lover." A senile father, a demeaning slave-driving job, and a life devoid of joy were the perfect descriptions for her life. Avery, a regular human girl never thought it would get any worse but it did. Everything was falling apart and as inconsequential as she was in the grand scheme of things, she couldn't do anything to stop her government and the famed and powerful vampire clan from doing whatever they wanted. Damien had never been one to submit to power or will and not especially now when his vampire counterparts and even the weaker humans were blindsided by the power they thought they had. They were causing havoc in the name of making peace and he wouldn't stand for it. Power he would lose, acceptance and dignity would flee from him but he wouldn't stand and watch injustice take place. What happens when these two determined souls find each other? Do they connect beyond understanding and achieve their common dream or would everything that separates them be what would end them?

CHAPTER ONE

"Thank you," Avery said with a smile as she received a tip from the last customer. Gathering the nearly empty bottles and glassware from the table, she proceeded towards the counter.Her muscles were tense, and she felt fatigued from the demanding workload. She glanced at Jeffrey, who was meticulously wiping a wine glass while wearing a smirk.Having worked tirelessly throughout the day without breaks, Avery noticed that her colleagues would take their lunch breaks while she remained at the bar. Their boss had promised to increase the wages of the employee who demonstrated the most dedication, and Avery needed the additional income.Facing financial constraints at home, Avery intended to restock their food supply from the local grocery store. However, given her current state, she was limited in what she could accomplish."Would you please refrain from staring?" she politely requested, following it with inaudible mumbling that only she could hear, while Jeffrey chuckled to himself.

CHAPTER TWO

"What the hell?!" She exclaimed and forcefully pushed Liam away from her. With a bewildered expression, she questioned his actions and instinctively took a step back. For several tense moments, Liam remained silent, his disappointment evident. As he approached her, Avery retreated, her gaze fixed on both Liam and the jar. Confusion clouded Avery's mind as she demanded an explanation, 'Why are you doing this?' A sense of urgency surged through her as she realized it was nearing curfew. She needed to leave before risking arrest by the military. With an imploring look, she locked eyes with Liam. 'Please reconsider,' she pleaded, tightening her grip on the jar. Suddenly, the door burst open behind them, startling them both. Avery's heart leaped, fearing it was a patrolling military guard who had overheard their conversation. Escape seemed impossible, as the government had declared severe consequences for offenders. 'Sir Liam.' Thankfully, it was not a military guard, but Jeffrey! A

CHAPTER THREE

The cold barrel of the weapon pressed against Avery's neck, sending a shiver down her spine and causing goosebumps to form on her skin."Do you already know who we are?" The woman inquired before pulling the gun away, gripping Avery's shoulder with a force that threatened to sprain it.Avery gritted her teeth, enduring the pain as numbness spread through her shoulder. She found herself exposed to the rest of the mercenaries, who cast cold glances in her direction.With a rough push from the woman, Avery began to move forward, her mind racing as she searched for an opportunity to escape."Don't attempt anything funny... You won't even twitch before your head is separated from your body," the woman warned, instilling fear in Avery, who swallowed hard in response.She didn't want to meet her demise at the hands of these bloodsuckers, who possessed the speed of a moving car and the strength to demolish buildings with their bare hands."They must be Vampire novices," she pondered. Based on

CHAPTER FOUR

In a dimly lit room, illuminated by a flickering ceiling light bulb that seemed on the brink of failure, a man with a bag over his head endured the merciless hold of two menacing individuals. They relentlessly submerged his head in a large bathtub filled with water, only to yank him out moments later for further interrogation.The room bore the evidence of their struggle—water pooled on the floor, a result of both his resistance and the dampness of the bag. The man, shirtless and kneeling, bore numerous wounds adorning his chest. As they removed the bag from his head, he gasped for air, coughing in response.The attention of both the captive and his tormentors was captured by the creaking sound of the metal door, announcing the arrival of their superior.A figure dressed in a black overall entered the room, his coal-black eyes piercing the atmosphere. His dark, silky hair and pale complexion added to his striking, yet sinister appearance. His slightly pink lips gave him an air of both

CHAPTER FIVE

It had been a week since the previous incident, and this time, Avery made a point to rush straight home to avoid any repeat encounters with rogue vampires. She was determined not to fall into another dangerous situation like before, where she had barely managed to survive.Avery was well aware that not all vampires could resist the overwhelming urge to satisfy their thirst for blood. The experience with the mercenaries had left her questioning her initial assumption that they were novices. Their controlled demeanor and restraint in the face of her bleeding had made her doubt their level of experience. They hadn't attempted to pierce her skin with their canines or quench their dried throats with fresh, warm blood.Having apologized to Jeffery for her behavior during their previous encounter, Avery was relieved that he understood the difficult situation she had faced. He graciously accepted her apology, and their relationship had regained a sense of understanding.That particular day, Av

CHAPTER SIX

Avery slowly raised her head, delicately moving the strands of hair away from her face. Her gaze locked directly onto the lady, who responded with a warm, friendly smile."Good, there's nothing to be scared of," the lady assured her, squinting her eyes before waving her away.Relieved, Avery sighed as she walked past the other customers and returned to the counter. She was grateful that they hadn't caused any trouble, although she doubted they had simply come to eat."What's happening over there?" Jeffrey asked suspiciously, giving her a questioning look. His gaze shifted back to the guests, but he quickly averted his eyes when he noticed the lady smirking at him."Nothing is going on," Avery reassured him with a forced smile, walking past him and into the kitchen after informing him about the drinks ordered by the guests.Carrying the new orders on a tray in her left hand, she made her way to the guests' table, attempting to maintain a smile. Her legs moved steadily as she approached

CHAPTER SEVEN

In a room, large and spacious with high ceilings that are adorned with intricate carvings and frescoes. The walls are lined with gold and silver accents, and large windows let in plenty of natural light, casting a warm glow throughout the space. One would be struck by its grandeur and opulence, as soon as they stepped in. Along the walls are elegant tapestries, depicting scenes of battles and triumphs, and tall candelabras that cast flickering shadows across the room. The floors are made of polished marble, gleaming in the light and reflecting the grandeur of the surroundings. This was the prince's room and only the royals in the palace had rooms, this big to themselves. In the center of the room sits a massive, King sized bed, adorned with a velvet cover. Prince Rohan sat on the bed, bare-chested. His eyes surveyed the room, as he had just woken up. Soon, a light knock came on the door and after he had granted access, it was pushed open and a servant walked in with a tray of food.

CHAPTER EIGHT

"What is it, Father?" he asked, turning to face his father, who gave him a displeased look.Lord Ericson entered the room and scanned it with his eyes. "Son of a bitch! Instead of finding the blood ring as we hoped, you choose to consort with the servants?!" he yelled."I will find it, Father.""You better, or else I'll throw you into the dungeon for wasting my time. I'm doing everything within my power to ensure you become king, and you should be doing the same," Lord Ericson said with a disapproving look, squinting at his son."I will, Father," the prince replied nonchalantly, averting his gaze from his father.Before he could react, his father forcefully grabbed his face and turned it towards him, staring directly into his eyes."Do. Not. Test. Me!" his father seethed, tightening his grip on his son's cheeks, causing grunts and bone cracks to fill the room.He released his hold, coldly watching as his son worked his jaw and sighed in relief.Rohan gave his father a cold, disdainful

CHAPTER NINE

Ding!The sound of a bell chimed as Avery pushed open the store's door and stepped inside. Her car was being refueled while she took the opportunity to grab some groceries from the adjacent store. She entered cautiously, scanning the surroundings for any potential threats. The sight of people bustling around with shopping carts brought her a momentary sense of relief, although her recent encounter at the coffee shop had left her perpetually on edge.Four days had passed since the incident, and although she should have felt relieved that her pursuers were no longer after her, it only heightened her need for constant vigilance. As she made her way to the dairy section, she picked up cartons of milk and loaves of bread, acutely aware that they were running low at home. The spoiled milk in the fridge was a ticking time bomb, as her father's day would be ruined without his beloved beverage.Avery nodded politely to the passersby, greeting some of them while receiving acknowledgments from a

CHAPTER TEN

It was pitch black, so dark that the body lying on the ground in the cramped room was barely visible. The figure, a female, stirred awake and was seized by panic as she struggled to see her surroundings in the darkness. With her hands groping the walls, she attempted to stand up, but the sharp pain shooting through her legs caused her to collapse. Avery winced as her legs gave way, realizing she had sprained her ankle. Just then, she heard the metallic sounds of gears and locks. For a fleeting moment, silence engulfed the room, followed by creaking noises, and suddenly, a bright light flooded the space. It was so intense that she had to shield her eyes until they adjusted. "The Boss wants you," a deep, husky voice declared, drawing her gaze in its direction. "F*** you!" Avery cursed, glaring defiantly at the stranger. "I won't budge from here unless you tell me where I am." The man entered the room, towering over her, and stared down. "I forgot to mention one thing—it's not a reque
