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.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
