"I, Drake Moretti, King of the Vampire Nation, claim you, Elena Ross, as my contract bride." Elena's silver dagger clattered to the ground, her eyes wide with disbelief. "You're insane! I'm a vampire hunter, you're the Vampire King. We're enemies!" Drake's dark eyes glimmered with amusement and something else... hunger? "Are we enemies, little hunter? Or are we pawns in a game that's been played for far too long?" As the feral vampires closed in, their howls echoing through the misty graveyard, Elena realized she had no choice. It was either become the Vampire King's bride or face certain death. "Fine," she spat, her voice laced with venom. "What do I have to do?" Drake's fangs glinted in the moonlight as he bit into his own wrist. "Drink," he commanded, offering his blood to her. "Seal our contract." Elena hesitated, revulsion warring with survival instinct. As she pressed her lips to the wound, fire coursed through her veins. The last thing she heard before darkness claimed her was Drake's whisper: "You are mine now, Elena Ross. And I protect what's mine." When Elena wakes up in the Vampire King's palace, she finds herself thrust into a world of ancient feuds, dark desires, and deadly politics.
