Blood bound

Introduction
As a feared vampire hunter, Briar believed monsters were simple: find them, destroy them, move on. That certainty shatters the night she is captured by the ancient vampire Alaric desperate to break a centuries old curse threatening the realm of Kaelindor because her blood is the only thing that can save them.
The ritual goes wrong.
Reborn through forbidden magic and bound to Alaric by an unbreakable bloodbond, Briar’s life now depends on his survival. As the curse breaks and Kaelindor is spared, a new conflict rises: the Moonstone, a relic older than vampires themselves, draws the attention of werewolves long thought weakened by its loss.
Caught between immortal politics, rising monsters, and an artifact powerful enough to awaken old enemies, she must navigate a world that sees her as both a weapon and a threat.
Bound by blood, haunted by her past, and evolving into something the supernatural world has never seen before, Briar must decide who she is now.
Hunter. Monster. Or something far more dangerous.
Chapter 1
The night was cold, the moon full as Briar stalked through the woods, bow drawn taut. It unnaturally was quiet. Not even the insects made their usual incessant noise. It was as if they knew something else walked through the woods with her. She had been on the hunt for three days in search of the vampire that had terrorized the village of Creekwood for months. She wouldn't normally come this remote but the pay was good , business had been slow and she needed the money.
According to the chief, every other hunter had been killed by the vampire. So much so that no other person would agree to help them. Not her though. Briar wasn't any other hunter. She liked those odds. A twig snapped to her left. She turned sharply. Vampires were masters of stealth. They could remain silent as death if they wanted. A sound like that meant one thing:
It was here and it wanted her to know.
“ Why don't you come out nicely and I'll make your death less painful for you.” She said loudly, the wind carrying her voice.
Another snap of a twig to her right. Briar's heart began to beat faster from the anticipation. She channelled everything she had into that one arrow because from her experience with Vampires, you almost always had one shot.
A blur of shadow ahead and she moved in that direction. She was grateful for the moonlight because this Vampire already had the advantage of seeing in the dark. This forest was filled with numerous traps she had set but the it had managed to evade every single one of them to her frustration.
She moved silently not wanting to make a sound. Briar had learned the art over the years. If you wanted to succeed as a hunter, you must become the predator you want to catch. Think like them. Act like them. Being human was already a disadvantage.
Another blur at superhuman speed but she could see a streak of red. Strange. The first one was entirely black.
Two?
She waited, her attention a sharp pointed thing. Then, the two blurs went in opposite directions. Her assumptions were right. The Chief didn't say she was dealing with two vampires. Not that it mattered. She would take them down and charge him double. She heard chuckling. They were taunting her. She growled. On impulse she wanted to bring out her wolfsbane bomb but she restrained herself. She needed something that would bring them to her not repel them.
Briar unsheathed her blade.It gleamed in the moonlight. In one smooth quick motion, she slashed her left forearm through her protective clothing. Blood ran in rivulets down her arm. She knew Vampires couldn't resist the smell of blood. Since they were two she strapped her bow and arrow to her back not wanting it to slow her down.
She felt an otherworldly chill in the air. Even after five years of hunting vampires it never seemed to unnerve her. The cold death-like feeling that you felt when one of the undead was nearby. The stakes at her hips and the knife in her hand reassured her as she stalked through the forest. She was hunter and they were prey.
Briar felt it before she saw it. One of the Vampire's bore down on her and bit on her bloody arm. Pain tore through her but she didn't let that slow her. The vampire hissed in pain as she slashed it quickly with her blade. By the time she turned fully it was gone. But she had already established something–it was male. Her hand was bleeding profusely now where the Vampire bit her as its venom wouldn't allow the blood to clot. A small price to pay for the little victory she had just had.
Briar drank wolfsbane every morning and night so her blood was laced with it. That vampire was probably hacking his guts right now. There was a circular clearing ahead illuminated by the moonlight. Perfect. She ran towards the centre of it,waiting.
Then she saw it.
The vampire entered the clearing walking slowly, emerging from the darkness. It seemed to part ways for him. He was tall. Taller than any man she had ever seen; six foot five if she could fathom a guess. Long dark shoulder length hair framed a face that was too beautiful to be human. It never got old–the allure of their beauty. Even now she was struck by it but she forced herself to focus. His red eyes were a stark contrast to the pale skin of his face. Clad in all black, he had a lean muscled build.His lips pulled back into a smile his fangs gleaming in the moonlight.
“Your days of terrorizing this village are over.” She said.
He chuckled, a low condescending thing that made her feel uneasy. He kept walking towards her and Briar had the urge to run but she held her ground.
“Stay back.” She said but he just kept sauntering towards her. She started to feel a surge of panic. She threw her silver laced knife at him. It lodged in his thigh causing him to stumble and fall to his knees. She then threw her wolfsbane bomb and it exploded, the mist filling the air causing him to choke and retch.
She unsheathed one of the stakes strapped to her hips walking towards him cautiously, her senses alert. She still had to be wary of the second vampire as this could be a trap. She kicked the vampire to the ground and drove the stake through his stomach. He grunted in pain as she drove it deeper.
There was a rustle of leaves in the woods then a blur of shadow flying up into the sky. Briar wasted no time. She extracted her bow from her back, took an arrow, aimed and let it fly. The vampire flailed in the air but managed to fly away. She stomped her foot in annoyance.
Briar turned back to see the other vampire at her feet already unconscious. The wolfsbane would keep him out for a few hours. She wouldn't kill him just yet. She searched him carefully for any weapons though she doubted there would be any. He was already a weapon on his own. Reaching into his pocket she felt something and pulled it out. It was a small piece of paper. Opening it, it read in scrawled rushed handwriting:
Find the hunter.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

The Legacy Game
When scholarship student Chris Linds stumbles onto a mystery someone has killed to protect, she becomes the next target. The only person standing between her and death is Ashen Ford, the academy's cold, untouchable Student Council President—and heir to one of Corvain's founding families.
As anonymous invitations summon twelve students into the legendary Legacy Game, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and every challenge brings another deadly truth to light. But the greatest secret isn't who will win.
It's why one winner vanished without a trace... and why someone will do anything to make sure history repeats itself.
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

And I don’t want him to stop.
