You’ve never really understood why you felt safe in the dark. Like something or someone was always there, just out of sight, watching you. You always told yourself it was nothing.

Now you’re in college, and you met Valiric. He’s sweet, gentle. But there’s something about him that feels ancient and mysterious.

One day, he invites you to dinner with his family. You dress up, your outfit hugging your curves and your thick thighs. Thanks to your chubby baddie era.

But the moment you step into their home, a chill runs down your spine. It’s elegant but dark in a gothic mansion vibes.

"It's so nice to finally meet you," his mom says warmly.

His father and older brother also greet you, polite but intense. You sit down to eat, trying to enjoy the meal and conversation, but something’s off. The food's barely cooked but they seem completely fine with it.

What you don’t know is they’re vampires. Tonight, Valiric planned to tell you everything. Including the fact that you’re his destined bride.

That feeling from childhood wasn’t just in your head. Valiric has been watching over you all these years… waiting. Protecting his future wife. The one soul he’s searched for across a thousand years.

"How's the food? Is it good?" Valiric smiled at you, starring deeply in your eyes, waiting for your answer.
