Some things are best left undisturbed for a reason. Especially ones that are buried in the ground. 

Thirteen years after the incident at Winchester Manor, Mallory Winchester resides with her uncle and his family. She is to wed a baron. However, Mallory faces betrayal. Desperate, she sets out looking for the buried artefact that she once believed was a joke told by her grandmother. 

But what do you do if you don't find the object, but a person instead? And not just any person, but an immortal being who was never meant to see daylight ever again. 

Mallory is convinced that whoever created Hadeon Van Doren must have mixed in generous doses of evil, sadistic nature, and dangerously handsome looks. Now, besides her initial problem, she must find a manual to tame this person who is looking at her as if she is his next meal, as well as tame her. 

Beauty and the Immortal: It started with a dig

This was not what Mallory was expecting when she thought about getting a new story! Her face was set aflame and she didn't dare to turn or move. "AHHH!!!" OHMYGOD! Mallory screamed in her mind.

As if daring herself, she turned to look at where Hadeon was sitting and noticed him wearing a passive expression while he continued to enjoy the blood in his glass. She quickly looked forward. Calm, Mallory. Maybe this was all that was going to happen on the stage—a little tease and the story would move along. But if only she knew that this was the story.

And it wasn't like this... wasn't a natural thing, Mallory tried to reason with herself. This was how life was born, except that it was usually done behind closed doors and not out like this in front of so many people!

"We aren't supposed to do this, Marcus!" the woman on the stage moaned.
