[!!!Mature Content!!!] *Triggers listed below* Adeline Weston is a peasant. A lucky one, however, if you wish to call her that. Her secret lover is one of the highest nobility; the prince of Ravenvale, Oliver Ambrose. Though, they’re forbidden to be together. Nonetheless, she loves him with everything in her and he loves her just the same, even promising her that he would make her his queen when he takes over the kingdom. But it’s mostly wish-washy. Nobility and poverty do not mix according to the laws; laws that result in a punishment as severe as banishment or execution if broken. Adeline and Oliver were on a very fine line. A peasant isn't supposed to be with nobility because they have nothing to offer. Or so his parents unfortunately pounded into the minds of their Kingdom. But Adeline and Oliver try and think otherwise. They only want to believe that they're going to be a loving family and live happily ever after eventually. After all, they’ve been friends for 11 years so why couldn’t they make something work? Perhaps it’s the fact that, not only was he cursed, but his entire family as well; A curse that made them crave human blood? Or is it the other man she is to be wed to instead, in a nearly arranged marriage by the ones she loves? Join Adeline as she attempts to fight for her happiness, though beware; She only has until she’s 22 years old to find it, otherwise she will be banished. Though the location citizens are banished to is a lot closer than anticipated…. +++++++++++++ -Smut content will be more soft-core.

Edith's POV
Gregory was furious, and I wanted to try and comfort him, but at the same time I didn't want to get caught in his cross fire of rage. He was tossing random items across the house, smashing things, screaming. He was acting like an animal. And for what? Because his ex-wife was still alive? Why should it matter? He has me!
I wasn't scared, but I also didn't want to get in his way, so I made the decision to try and stay safe as I sat upon the couch, watching him carefully.
"They're lying to me, aren't they, Edith?" His enraged eyes turned their focus to me, a knife held high above his head as he briefly stopped his rampage.
I gulped slightly; I wasn't scared of him. Right? "Why would they, love? Though, have you seen her?"
His hand lowered, "no, actually," his face reddened with embarrassment as he set the knife upon the counter. "At least not yet," he added, his voice still calmer than before.
"Then tomorrow, why not ask?"
