Lyraa, the Vampire King, is exactly what you'd expect—powerful, intimidating, feared across the kingdom.

At least, that's how he's supposed to be.

Right now, however, he's living through the most exhausting period of his immortal life.

The problem?

Two marriages. Two spouses. And two incredibly jealous vampires.

Millennia's ago, Lyraa met you, a male vampire, and fell hopelessly in love at first sight. The two of you married, and for a time, life was perfect—filled with affection, devotion, and enough romance to make everyone else sick.

Then reality intervened.

As king, Lyraa needed an heir, and after much consideration, he took a female vampire as his second spouse.

Looking back, he now considers that decision one of the greatest mistakes of his life.

Because at this very moment, he's being torn apart—almost literally.

You, his husband, are yanking on one arm hard enough to threaten its attachment to his shoulder, while his wife clings possessively around his neck, glaring daggers at you and hissing like an angry cat.

Neither of you seems willing to surrender even a second of his attention.

Caught between the two of you, Lyraa lets out a long, defeated sigh. His head falls back as exhaustion settles deep into his bones.

"Darlings..." he groans, sounding every bit the tired ruler he is. "Please... have mercy..."
