Destined: the Vampire's Soulmate
A human girl full of secrets, a vampire, and a city where both can live free.
* COMPLETED *
When Julia appears at the city gates, she's tired and scared. All she asks for is shelter, and she's willing to accept anything to avoid going back to the hunters. She brings with her a secret that would cost her her life.
Leo is the one that senses her presence, and he doesn't like how all his instincts draw him to her. Yet, he can't resist it.
When his urges become invincible, he proposes a contract. In exchange for protection and safety, he wants her everything.
In a world where races are at war, two souls meet.
Can love bloom from a bond that was forced from fate? Can their feelings become genuine, even if determined by destiny?

I caress her arm, reaching her hand. I bring it to my mouth and prick her forefinger with my fang. When a single drop of blood spills out, I pass my tongue on it, healing the wound I made.
«Just as I thought,» I whisper. «Delicious.»
Julia opens her eyes but soon turns her gaze to the side, light blushing covering her cheeks. Her breath is heavy, but she tries to hide it. It's that excitement from before, that feeling of expectation for something that won't happen.
«But I won't bite. You can stop freezing every time. As you can see, I can control myself.»
«You don't have to,» she mumbles, and I almost grab her again.
Is she really this naive, or just stupid? But most importantly, does she say that every time someone aims at her blood?
«You shouldn't say these words to a vampire.»
«You're thirsty, and I am prey. I understand how you feel.»
«You don't understand a thing.»
«But I know that this is how things work. You need blood to survive, and I happen to have plenty.»
«I don't want your blood.»
She winces, and her smile falters. As if I've just offended her. Yet, she doesn't want to make me notice.
«Sorry for not being to your taste,» she shrugs.
What the hell? Ah, I just wanted to comfort her. Why is she pretending to be sad now?
I grab her shirt and push her against the wall. I don't use any strength; I don't want to hurt her. I just want her to notice my presence, to feel cornered. To realise that she shouldn't say words that she would regret later.
When she lifts her eyes to look at me, I kiss her lips with more strength than I have initially planned to.
Though she doesn't complain about that.

Here author's review :) This will be the story between a vampire and a girl, drawn to each other by obscure forces... There will be love, a lot of passion, and a few mysteries to solve. It won't be long (I'm currently planning between one and two hundred chapters; unless I have a huge inspiration, it won't be longer than that), but it will be full of fluff, juicy moments and a lot of irrational, destined love :D
I simply love this!!!! its such an amazing book! The author is doing such a good job creating suspense and attraction without it being cheesy! I cant get enough! Need more chapters ASAP!!!! 😍😍😍
Well written and draws you in easily. I binged all available chapters in one reading. I am happy the author updates regularly so I wont wait long to find out what happens. I am used to fantasy romance books where the male characters dont have so much self control and give into their passions. To read about a ML that is so restrained is new to me and I secretly wish he would let go as obviously the FL desires him. But I know its a slow burn so I am patient and hoping it will get more intense
The povs... my goodness author! You really know how to write into their character! The mystery is neat to read and the story is intriguing. Only thing I would recommend is to change their speaking to quotes. I am not one for pov jumping from one character to the other, but I think the author maintained it well! READ THIS NOVEL!!!
As I write this review, the book is still new and has less than 10 chapters. Yet I can say it's one of my favourite stories in this app. First, because the author has already proven her talent with her first two published novels. And most of all, because thie relation between Julia and Leo is one of the most heartwarming relationship in Webnovel. In the first chapters, they're oblivious for their shared love but you can feel how natural the tenderness and affection they have for each other and it melts your heart. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this wonderful love novel !
Although I'm in chap 2 it is still amazing it's like drawing you into the world . Pls keep it up !!
This is the first novel with first person POV I've read, I just tried to read it because it seems interesting and I'm thankful to this novel and the author because it beautifully done, i had really fun reading this, I love the story and the characters. great job author.👍
I love supernatural genres...The synopsis hooked me to read further...The dialogues in the story are splendid...OMG! The POVs of the main protagonists are amazing & on point...well-portrayed characters...Looking forward to reading more chapters...added to my library...Excellent work, Author!
The story was on the run and is not stopping. There is a build-up of plot and storyline and I am impressed by the author's writing style. Lots of love from your reader. The author is talented so this novel was in good hands. Peace ✌️
I have to say, this was a really fun read. I lovw how mysterious it is, the author leaves many unanswered questions which really draws you in to the plot and characters, as well as some fantastic world building to suppliment the vivid imagery they create. I love the dual perspective and the fact the reader gets to see the emotions and thoughts of both a human and a vampire reallt adds a layer of depth to the story. Also can I just say, I love Leo. He has a perfect mix of 'scary imposing vampire that could realistically kill you in a heartbeat' combined with a more gentle natured sterotype. His shifting moods and inner turmoils are something I really enjoy reading. Fantastic work author
This story deserves five stars. The author describes everything perfectly. I felt like I was actually inside the story. I like the main lead, Leo and Julia. They make a perfect pair. Looking forward to reading more of this story .
The back story of the characters was informative. Enjoyed the perspective from both Julia & Leo. The more you read the mor you wanted to see what would happen next.
This book is worth reading and it's wonderful that it's finished. The POV experience is quite enjoyable. My only wish is that there was a few more chapters to wind down the ending, maybe a wedding or something... otherwise, awesome!
I have lost my own WORLD, have indulged my self with these books and stories. They are so magnetic I can't resist. THANK YOU MR. AUTHOR. Thank you so so much
Read the completed story and loved it. The plot keeps you interested throughout and you become really invested in the characters. I thought thr author did a great job also alternating the narration point of biew without compromising story flow!
