Alora is a cursed girl no one dares to look at—until a feared Vampire Prince chooses her as his bride. While the world abandons her, he alone can meet her eyes. As danger, mystery, and forbidden love collide, Alora finally tastes affection. But why is she the only one immune to his fate?
“Come with me, Magnus,” Esmond insisted, then turned to Tobias to inquire about the location of the garden. He went in that direction while Magnus remained rooted in his place. “Go on, Magnus. You don’t need to be stubborn all the time,” Izaak urged, swiftly appearing in front of him and gently nudging him forward.…
“I will follow your orders, Father,” Izaak assured him. He promised to see him off to the carriage. Esmond nodded in agreement and made his way to the foray of the house, where the carriage awaited him. As Tobias and Griffin joined them, Izaak observed his father settling into the carriage. He made a silent…
“Are you here to advocate for Alora?” Margaret inquired, her annoyance palpable. “Because of her, Magnus has entangled himself with the werewolves. Don’t you think it’s your duty to speak to your younger brother and guide him back to the right path?” The Queen pressed him. “Mother, we all understand the uniqueness of their love.…
Selvina smiled as she turned silent now, focusing on her work. She dried Alora’s hair before making two braids and clipping them at the back of her head. She kept the other hair loose. Taking a step back, Selvina told Alora to check herself and then, they would go out. “I like the hair you…
Alora sat close to the fireplace since she was a little cold. Because of the mountains, the temperature here was low. “Magnus, come here,” she invited him to join her. He sat next to her on the chaise and moved his hands to her neck to remove the cloak. As Magnus put it aside, he…
“Father and Brother Izaak said that Gloria was knowledgeable,” Magnus asserted. “The witches never liked the vampires ruling anyway. Perhaps, she hid the truth from His Highness,” Griffin deduced. He wasn’t wrong. The witches hated vampires more than the werewolves. Because they were less in numbers, they could never overpower them. “Your Highness, I’ve brought…
“That’s cheating though,” Alora said as she lifted her head from his chest. “How? You didn’t say that I cannot catch you if you fall,” he opined. “And I would not have let you get harmed by falling down.” Alora laughed lightly and tried to get away from him when he pulled her back. “Stay…
“Alora, what’s going on? Why are you speaking like that?” Magnus tried reading her thoughts, but to him, her mind appeared blank. Why? It never happened before. “Nothing is going on. I’m stating a fact. I can either live 60, 70, or 80 years. After that, I may not live. Then, what will happen to…
Alora lowered her gaze, concerned that the woman might be in danger. The voices in her ears had ceased, and she instinctively moved closer to Magnus, gripping his hand tightly in fear. “She is the one, who gave you these eyes,” Magnus said, making Alora’s eyes widen. “Why did you do this to Alora?

“Really? How?” Darcy questioned. “If you meet Alora, you will find out,” Izaak answered. “I should take my leave. It is already noon,” he said and stood up.
