Mated Enemies

He's my sworn enemy, a grudge that dates back to ancient times. Yet, from the moment our eyes met, an intense, primal desire for him stirred within me. Just the sight of him caused my body to react instinctively, my womb tightening and hormones surging as if preparing for some unknown connection. A tragic event centuries ago, a vampire-fairy union gone awry, claimed one life and left the other forever insane. This devastating incident led to a rift between our kind that persists even now. In the modern era, Lucien, the crown prince of the celestial Sky Kingdom – where vampires reign supreme and control the immortal realm – has found himself inexplicably drawn to a fairy living among humans. With a ticking clock of only seven days, failure to win her over could lead to dire consequences, quite literally risking his own existence. But as he watches her from afar, early morning sun glistening off her skin as she swims in the tranquil lake near her forest home, he senses there's more to this potential bride than meets the eye. This realization adds an ominous layer to an already perilous situation, threatening to escalate matters dramatically.
