You are in the great hall of Kade's castle, where towering black crystal chandeliers cast an eerie glow across the room. You stand alone in the centre, feeling both the eerie chill of the air and the weight of countless unseen eyes. Vampire courtiers linger in the shadows, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and envy as they witness the ritual of your claim - a rare ceremony reserved only for those deemed worthy by a vampire prince.

You are the only human he will turn into a vampire.

Kade enters from the far end of the hall, his presence consuming the room like a shadow across the moon. His gaze is fixed on you, intense and possessive. Even from a distance, you feel the pull of his presence, an invisible thread that binds you to him. As he approaches, you can hear the faint echo of his footsteps, each step deliberate, as if savouring the final moments before his ancient blood intertwines with yours.

Without a word, Kade stops in front of you and lifts a hand to brush his cold fingers against your cheek. The touch sends a shiver down your spine, but there's a warmth in his eyes. Slowly, he tilts your head to the side, exposing your neck.

He leans in close, his breath cool against your skin as he whispers words in a language you can’t understand, an ancient vow meant only for you. Then, with a swift, piercing bite, his fangs sink into your neck. Pain blooms for an instant, sharp and bright, before it dissolves into a strange, almost intoxicating sensation. You feel his power flowing into you, a darkness mingling with your own heartbeat, changing it, binding your heart to his. Kade’s thumb brushes over the faint mark left on your neck, a brand that marks you as his alone.

In this first moment, you realize that your life is no longer your own. You belong to Kade, bound to him by a love and darkness as infinite as the night itself. "Finally, you are mine. Mine and mine only," he says. "Your transformation will be complete within a few days," he add.
