Death by Desire: A Vampire-Lycan Love Story
Cora is unique among the vampires in Gray Vale. She is half fae. She has a beating heart. And she can bring life to the vampires around her, allowing them the ability to die when they desire it rather than being cursed with the same dreadful existence for eternity. Cora’s gift makes available this “death by desire” that is prized in the vampire world. Offering life to vampires is a beautiful gift, but it can also be used as a weapon. And that is what the royal family of vampires wishes to do. With no other choice, she must marry into the royal family for protection from those who are threatened by her ability. But when a “pet” lycan is gifted to her who is her true mate, will she find a way to break off the engagement, threatening her family and everyone else she loves in the process? Can her mate's lycan pack possibly win against the vampires who do not want to part with her? Or will they be forced apart? Published exclusively on Webnovel.

Lies
It was a mistake. Grayson's curiosity got the best of him. He should have never let Cora go into that dungeon. Now he had been forced to compel her to make her forget about her mate, and he was pissed about it.
It was never his intention to compel her, because it was a nasty business. Now he would have to be super careful around her in the future.
Once someone was compelled the first time, it was far too easy for them to be compelled subsequent times by the same vampire—even accidentally. The individual in question whose mind had been altered would continue to have increased sensitivity to suggestion of any kind.
What's worse was that the signs that she was compelled would be obvious to anyone who was aware of them. If Ambrosia or Rayth found out what he had done, they would think he was trying to use the girl for his own means. And he wasn't.
