Born in the slums, Estelle is known to be the cleverest in her district. After seeing the sufferings people of the slums suffered, she decided to take the role as a phantom thief, stealing from the wealthy to return the rights of the poor— that is until a horrible accident happened which almost took her life and made her decide to quit for good. 

Things went even better for Elle, or worse, as she was revealed to be the missing daughter of Count Arthur. A wealthy noble’s daughter anyone had dream to be! 

While her father seemed delighted to greet her, her step mother and sister seemed to have held an opposing emotion. She thought she could ignore their bullying or perhaps continue her life back in the slums but realized that her father seemed to hold more secrets than he shows- a secret that could get her killed by the supernaturals who seemed to have regarded her as their "prey"

She thought things couldn't get even worse, but god she was wrong!

Out of everything she could do, Elle had mistakenly caught the eyes of Lord Magnus- the great Lord known for his handsome face, charming actions, and kind behavior... or at least that was how he appeared to others except Elle who unluckily discover his secret, a bigger secret that could either kill her or save her. 

Can Elle survive in this new world of nobles and supernaturals. What if the secret her father hold would eventually kill her? Or would she first die in the hands of her step families?

The Dragon’s Sweet Prey

Elle gulped, "You didn't kill her?"

"Something worse than killing," he remarked.

She should feel guilty but somehow Estelle felt relived. It would be a lie to say that she was deeply holding a grudge against Caroline who had made her suffer multiple times, even trying to have others violate her until finally taking the chance to kill her. She thought slapping the girl will bring her some understanding of how it feels to be on the other end of violence but the girl instead done the worse thing possible.

She wondered how they could even share the same blood line.

A sigh stifle in Estelle's throat.

"But you didn't kill her," she said, somehow amazed.

"You want me to kill her?" A delight pass in Magnus's eyes. He seemed to be overly joyful to hear that she was disappointed he didn't kill her. "Should I go and kill her now?"
