"You are my salvation and an answer to my cursed eyes." 
------
In a world of vampires, werewolves, and witches, a girl is born to be the bride of the vicious and bloodthirsty 300-year-old immortal Vampire Prince. The man who could never be enticed by any ethereal beauty till now suddenly has shown interest in a woman with a curse whom everyone abandoned.

Alora Wilson, the eldest daughter of a high-noble human family, is born with the curse of an old powerful witch. 

It is the curse that burns the person into ashes if the person looks directly into her eyes. A curse that forces her to wear the blindfold since the moment she was born in this world. 

When the kids of her age enjoyed every small moment of their lives, she couldn't. No one loves to befriend her. Even her own father and siblings despise her. 

One day Magnus Lukeson, the Vampire Prince, enters her life– The man whom the entire kingdom is scared of. A man with only foes and no friends. A man who ventures his territory at night to take the fresh blood out of humans irrespective of the age or gender to quench his thirst.

The blindfold cascaded off Alora's eyes and her enchanted blue eyes met with Magnus' blood-red eyes. 

"You have enchanting eyes, Alora," Magnus pronounced. 

No one ever said that to her. But no one could look into her eyes either. Only Magnus was the exception. The reason was still unknown to her. 

"Shall we begin the night?" Magnus asked for her permission. 

"Will His Highness give me love?" Alora asked. She was desperate to be loved. The feeling she could never get from her family and only heard in the words. 

"And how am I supposed to provide love to you?" Magnus queried since he was curious to know her thoughts. 

"Holding hands, hugging each other, sleeping together, and sharing thoughts. Isn't that how you shower love?" Alora innocently asked. 

Magnus ended up smiling to hear her explanation of love. He leaned down and kissed her lips, causing her to shiver from that sudden feeling. "This is the way I shower love," Magnus pronounced, gazing into Alora's charming blue eyes.

The Vampire Prince's Blindfolded Bride

The next morning, Alora noticed Magnus was conspicuously absent and only during the family breakfast she saw him. After the meal ended, she finally found an opportunity to speak with him.

"Where were you last night?" Alora asked, her voice tinged with concern. "And even this morning, I didn't see you. Tobias mentioned you had some urgent work. What kind of work could be so pressing for Prince Magnus?"

Her perplexed gaze met his calm and measured one as they stood in the empty corridor. The silence of the hallway seemed to amplify her confusion.

Magnus's expression remained steady as he replied, "Damien is alive, and there are shapeshifters roaming within our kingdom."

Alora's eyes widened in shock. "What? So, it wasn't Damien who attacked Brother Izaak that day, but a shapeshifter?"
