Chapter 1 Prologue

Separated from human civilization by a magical wall, there was another world deep into the forest where magical creatures lived, goblins, elves, pixies, fairies were almost extinct and lived in hiding from the majority 'The Vampires'. Vampires who were the most powerful creature, a world ruled by the Vampire King and Vampire Council, members of which comprised vampire sorcerers, sorcerers who had turned into vampires by making the contract with the pure-blooded vampires.

Werewolves who rivaled them in strength and powers, their sworn enemies lived separately between the magical world and the human world at the periphery of the forest, marking their own territories.

Placed on a high mountain was an old castle. The castle glowed with lights that night for the celebration of the Vampire king's birthday. The sound of the celebration echoed in the entire forest. Even the hidden creatures came out to celebrate their King's birth anniversary dancing along the path. The castle was loud with cheer, all the noble Vampires lined up to wish him, all the girls awaited his presence, they were all glittered up to impress him, today was the night he was going to choose his queen.

A carriage made its way to the castle, hearing the creak of the wheels, all the creatures ran back into their hiding place, the castle's enormous gate opened for it to enter, it stopped in front of the entrance.

"Look at those fools. We arrived a little late, and they dared to think they have a chance against you, my lady?" The girl helped her mistress with her dress as she stepped out of the carriage.

"That's the difference you fool, those useless fellows are supposed to arrive earlier to glorify ours." Said the other one.

"Those low lives need to learn their place, the queen has already been decided, only the official announcement remains." They reached the door of the castle. Once the door opened, a powerful presence penetrated the warm atmosphere. All eyes were down and the servants practically lied flat on the floor while the nobles bowed down to her presence.

Rebecca Williams made her way inside the castle; she was the daughter of the head of the Vampire council and the most suitable candidate for the Vampire Queen. At another part of the castle, there was restlessness; the king had disappeared from his own birthday party. His ministers dispatched a search team for him.

Adrian was the fifth king of the Vampire world, the kings reigned for thousands of years until they found someone more worthy of the throne, be it their son/ grandsons/ or further down the line.

Adrian's ancestor ruled for 3000yrs until finally he was born with dark powers, the powers superior to anyone, the same powers which kept others away from him and all his life he faced loneliness. The only one that could enter his world, piercing the surrounding darkness, was Gabriella Blakesley. She belonged to a powerful ancient werewolf clan ruled by the female alfa; she was born with the birthmark of the moon, making her the female alfa chosen by the moon goddess herself.

When Adrian reached their meeting place, he found Gabriella staring at the full moon; the pixies were dancing around her; he smiled as he looked at his beloved, one pixy spotted him and stopped on her track, the others collided right into her and stabilizing themselves they scolded one another, then they all immediately bowed to their king, Gabrielle still hadn't noticed his presence, he gestured them to leave quietly; they obliged and took off. He then approached his beloved quietly and hugged her from behind.

"Happy Birthday!" She smiled as she leaned her head back. He pressed a kiss to the nape of her neck, licking the mark, his mark on her. She shivered at the sensation.

"How? I thought you were too busy staring at the moon." He groaned, breathing her scent.

She turned to him and leaned in to catch his lips in a brief kiss. He pulled her in a deep kiss, parting he rested his forehead against hers.

"I can't do anything about this jealousy of yours." She smiled, caressing his cheeks.

"I don't ever get it, what's with you and the moon?" He rolled his eyes. "Forget that. Here," He extended his hand.

"what?" She raised her brows.

"What's with that look? Do you think you can get away with it? My birthday present. Where is it?" He inquired.

She then held his hand and guided them to her belly.

He frowned, "this....is that...."

She nodded.

The ground shook, "Don't lose it, idiot!" She slapped his back as his powers created turbulence in nature.

"I love you." He picked her up and spun around, "Thank you, this is the best gift ever." Slowly lowering her to the ground, he claimed her lips in a sweet kiss.

His happiness was short-lived when he heard the footsteps from miles away, "Damn!" he swore under his breath.

"Your soldiers have arrived, your majesty." She smiled bitterly.

"I've discussed the proposal with the council, we won't have to sneak in the dark to meet each other, very soon I'll make you my queen. You, me, and our child, we'll live happily like any other family." He smiled at her.

"Is it really possible? This dream, can we live it for real? Thousands of yrs of enmity. Can we erase it?" She questioned.

"Our clans didn't clash in ancient times. Didn't you tell me the stories of the ancient times when our clans lived in harmony with each other?"

"Yes, but those stories were tens of thousands of years ago, now they're enemies, hunting each other, that's what they live for. I'm scared. They will hunt us down like others who dared to love the opposite clan? Will our child be able to--"

"Shh." He sealed his lips with a slow and sensual kiss on her lips, breaking apart he looked into her eyes. "We'll bring the change, I am the vampire king and you're my queen, we have the support from your family, one of the most powerful clans among others. We'll have our dream turned into reality, Vampires and Werewolves, both clans will come together again, there won't be any casualties. I promise." He sealed it with a kiss on her lips. When she opened her eyes he was gone.

"I'll be waiting." She whispered into space.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge.

Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
