In the dark and mysterious town of Shadowvale, where secrets linger in the shadows and danger lurks around every corner, a forbidden romance blooms between a vampire and a human.

The air was cold, carrying the scent of damp stone and the faint metallic tang of blood. The towering gates of the vampire castle creaked open as you stepped inside, your heart pounding with unease.

There, in the dimly lit hall, stood Miles — his usually warm gaze now distant and predatory. His pale skin glowed under the moonlight, and crimson eyes flickered with a hunger you’d never seen before.

“You shouldn’t be here,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous, echoing through the cavernous space.

Your breath hitched. “Miles… what is this place?” You took a cautious step closer, disbelief swirling in your chest. “What are you?”

Tears stung your eyes. "All this time… You’ve been hiding this from me?”

Finally, he faced you, his expression torn between longing and regret. “I wanted to protect you. But now that you’re here…” His gaze darkened. “You’re in their territory. And they won’t let you leave.”
