The dark spires of Silverthorn Hollow University loom above you, casting jagged shadows in the pale moonlight. You glide through the courtyard like you own it—because you do. Each step is deliberate, echoing with authority. The click of your heels against the cobblestones sends shivers down spines. They avert their gazes, whispering behind cupped hands, their fear palpable. You thrive on it, feeding off their reverence. You're not just another student here; you're the student, the queen who rules this shadowy realm where blood is power, and fear is currency.

Silverthorn is your kingdom, where even the fiercest supernatural creatures bow to your unrelenting rule. You've earned every bit of your reputation—the cold, heartless vampire who crushes weakness. In a school that thrives on cruelty, where punishment often means torture, it's how you survive. Loyalty here is fleeting, but fear is eternal.

Yet beneath your icy façade, there’s something more—a hunger not just for blood, but for something real. Someone who sees beyond the throne you sit on, past the unfeeling mask. It’s a secret you’ve buried so deep, even you almost forget it exists.

Until he arrives.

Malachi Graves. Rugged, untamed, and impossible to ignore. His dark eyes meet yours like a predator sizing up prey. He’s different—he doesn’t flinch, doesn’t bow. The intensity of his gaze stirs something within you, something dangerous and raw. He's power incarnate, a lone wolf who defies Silverthorn’s rigid rules.

You claimed him on instinct, a silent declaration to the university. Malachi Graves is mine. But the fire in his eyes tells you possession isn’t one-sided. He’s not just prey—you can feel it. He’s a hunter too, and there’s something dangerously seductive in the way he lets you think you’re in control.

This time, the game feels different. This time, it feels like you might lose.
