"Hey there," he says softly. I stare, captivated by the stunning man before me. It takes a moment for his words to register, and disbelief washes over me. This can't be happening; my beloved passed away 300 years ago, and I still feel the lingering pain of his loss. With a heavy heart, I turn and run. Growing up, I may have been a princess, but it never felt right for me. I stayed for my family's sake, but now, the time has come to leave. They understood my need and never forced me to stay. As soon as I step off the plane in Louisiana, the familiar air feels like a warm embrace, signaling home. During our journey, my Lycan companion has been on edge. Both of us are eager to return. Perhaps a rogue incident hastened our arrival, but there's another pull, drawing us back to our pack. A fleeting encounter with a woman in the background caught our interest, but it was her distinct scent that night that solidified our connection. Now, all I can do is wait for her to reappear. She's the enigmatic vampire princess, and I'm the Lycan King. Our paths intertwine due to a secret from her past. What if Kynessie reunites with an old acquaintance, and the truth unravels? Will she open herself up to Tiernan, or will she walk away from the bond we're forming? And when he discovers her extraordinary gift, a gift seen only once before, will he accept her, or will he reject his own dark side?"
