Rescued from the brink of death and thrust into the heart of the Duke's ominous castle, Allistair navigates a world filled with dark magic, forbidden desires, and chilling secrets. Duke Thales, known as the Devil's Red Rose, is a vampire of terrifying power and boundless cruelty. His victims meet their end with a twisted smile, caught between pleasure and pain. His piercing reddish-violet eyes see through the darkest corners of the human soul, and his touch ignites a blend of fear and longing in those he claims. As Allistair grapples with her fate, she discovers there is more to her blood than meets the eye, a mystery that even Thales is determined to uncover. Amidst the eerie howls of unseen spirits and the chilling atmosphere of the castle's hidden laboratory, a dangerous attraction brews between the captor and his captive. Thales plans for Allistair grow ever more complex, weaving a web of power, control, and forbidden intimacy. Caught in a whirlwind of dark romance and power dynamics, Allistair must confront her deepest fears and desires. Will she succumb to Thales relentless dominance, or will she find the strength to rise against the man who holds her life in his cold, unforgiving hands? The Vampire's personal witch is a gripping tale of dark fantasy, where love and cruelty intertwine, and the line between torment and ecstasy blurs.

"You're so useless" Can't even make the basics of spells how do you expect to live. Vile curses rained over Allister as she wished for her parents,orphaned witch and used as a punching bag in the union of witches, Allister has never had a friend, never known love,her parents died while she was 10 the only love she's ever received was cut off brutally and mercilessly the world didn't want her to know joy. And fate being fate played a cruel joke on Her she couldn't cast spells at her awakening while she was 13.
She became even more useless for the clan,her life and death?, they couldn't care less.
Another days worth of beatings huh I mused to myself as I dragged my broken body to the witch healer who'd let me wait with all of my wounds and cuts outside to fester before calling me in,at this point I couldn't find anymore feeling to express in my life, it is just on a stop not moving not flowing just stagnant staring into the air.
"I was used to it" I tried to convince myself and slowly I feel asleep.
I woke up to huge kicks on my already sore aching back, instinctively I wanted to scream and finally lash out but I couldn't, I bit my lips so hard and stood with all the pain tearing inside of me,tears staining my eyes as I tried not to cry. It was her,the doctor "why don't you just run away and take your awful sight away from here I wonder why the witch elder insists on making you get treated"She spoke with raw cruelty
I couldn't say anything and just bowed my head, already coming to terms with the fact that they hated me for no reason,no reason at all,I might as well run away I finally mustered up the courage I was just waiting for a push and maybe wanted to give the world a benefit of doubt, I sighed and told myself "Never Again".
I got my treatment and walked into a small shed they couldn't even let me stay in my parents house, I packed the little I could and waited for midnight.
I ran,ran and never once looked back.
I started to regret,I didn't know anywhere outside the witch union,my rashness starting to bite me in the face as I to a halt and sat to think things through I looked around me and saw I was in a forest with huge trees and I could see our union clearing I decided to move a lot further didn't want anyone finding me out here or I'd never live through it anymore
Running again I felt free and started to cry the winds,the air and grass beneath my feet, I didn't know how wonderful it was before now,I never wanted to go back I wanted to be remain in that state and immerse myself in the feeling.
I was tired so tired and afraid it was pitch dark I couldn't sleep,ants and forest bugs were crawling all over me, but I couldn't back out now,not even for the world.
Suddenly I heard a cart moving with horses, "people" I called under my breath,I wanted to rush over but quickly stopped myself
"What is wrong with you" I mused again as I had developed the habit of talking to myself over time, hiding behind a tree I stuck my head out and watched as the people off loaded cages "cages"? I almost screamed out loud at this point my heart was beating against my chest I crawled forward for a closer look "children" I said sadly the men arranged themselves around the carts and horses as some lit fires and others led the horses to the forest and they were coming straight at me and I panicked my mind whirling "what do I do" Run?, No, "they'll catch me" "hide"?, "Scream"? I could only do what I could do best and ran,ran as fast as my legs could take me I didn't know what they'll do to me but I definitely didn't want to be captured. But the moment I bolted the man chased after me after calling his partners I heard footsteps they weren't a lot but it didn't make it any less better, I regretted,I shouldn't have run away.
I saw my life flash before my eyes as I saw the man an arm reach away from me as I kept turning backwards I was caught and tackled to the hard soil and pain racked through me so strongly that I thought i was going to puke out my organs,I was scared and began to over think I heard them talk between themselves how lucky they were to find another catch.
I was thrust into a cage with my legs and hands tied, I was exhausted and suddenly reminded of how I hadn't eaten the whole day the last thing I thought was I'd rather be anywhere else that that evil place called home.
