Beauty and the Immortal: It started with a dig

[Mature Content] Some things are best left undisturbed for a reason. Especially ones that are buried in the ground.  Thirteen years after the incident at Winchester Manor, Mallory Winchester resides with her uncle and his family. She is to wed a baron. However, Mallory faces betrayal. Desperate, she sets out looking for the buried artefact that she once believed was a joke told by her grandmother.  But what do you do if you don't find the object, but a person instead? And not just any person, but an immortal being who was never meant to see daylight ever again.  Mallory is convinced that whoever created Hadeon Van Doren must have mixed in generous doses of evil, sadistic nature, and dangerously handsome looks. Now, besides her initial problem, she must find a manual to tame this person who is looking at her as if she is his next meal, as well as tame her.

Bearing a fate never asked

Thank you for reading the book everyone <3< strong>

The switcher let out a mocking laugh, seemingly unfazed by their current predicament. "What makes you think I am male?"

Hadeon arched an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Well, isn't it obvious? Women can barely pass me without ogling. I'm simply too dazzling to be ignored." He circled the chair, his eyes never leaving the switcher. "So, back to the question—why do you want her dead?"

Mallory couldn't fathom why anyone would want her dead. She had never harmed anyone. Hattie had been innocent too, yet she was gone.

The switcher remained silent, provoking Hadeon to take action. With a swift movement, the rod in Hadeon's hand descended on the switcher's foot, specifically targeting the little toe. The agonised scream that followed echoed through the nearby corridors, "AHHHH!!" But Hadeon wasn't finished. He pulled the rod away and struck again, this time hitting the next toe.
