The vampire's king mermaid.
"To flee one monster she gave herself to another "
โLittle fish, where do you think youโre going to?โ Damienโs tone was mocking, his eyes glinting with cruel amusement. โYou know going back there means going back to him. Or perhapsโฆโ his lips curved, โare you interested in incest?โ
Bellaโs cheeks burned red with shame and anger. โIโm just worried about my mother,โ she said quickly.
โOh, donโt worry.โ Damienโs smile turned sinful. โWhy donโt we make another deal? This time, I want more than your blood.โ
Bellaโs chest tightened. She knew whatever deal he offered would leave her cheatedโjust like before, when heโd promised to help her escape Marcus in exchange for her blood, while secretly asking her father to gift her to him.
โWhat do you want?โ she asked, her voice doubtful.
โSeems like my little goldfish is getting clever,โ Damien drawled. โBut itโs not like you have much of a choice.โ
โAt least this time Iโll know what Iโm getting into,โ Bella reasoned, though her voice trembled.
He moved closer, his presence swallowing the space between them. His head dipped low, as if to murmur a secret, his lips dangerously close to hers.
โI want your body,โ Damien whispered, voice like velvet over steel. โAnd your soulโin full.
Bella, the daughter of a king and his captured mermaid concubine, has never been treated as a true princess. Shunned and unloved, her world shatters when she discovers her stepbrotherโs dangerous obsessionโone she cannot understand and cannot escape. Fleeing from his twisted desire, Bellaโs path collides with a fate far darker.
The cruel yet mesmerizing Vampire King, Damien Althour Valemont, is drawn to her beauty and her rare mermaid blood. He wants her, body and soul, and nothing will stand in his way.
Caught between the brother she fears and the vampire king who threatens to consume her, Bella must choose which cage she will step intoโonly to find out that love and ruin may be one and the same.
