Serena Alaric wanted nothing more than a quiet life, far from the shadows of her family’s dark past. But when masked enforcers storm her home and drag her into the clutches of the Council of Vitae, she learns her blood is the key to a deadly legacy she never asked for.


Lucian Draven is the cold and ruthless leader of a powerful mafia syndicate, cursed to endure unimaginable pain. The Council claims Serena is his only salvation. Yet beneath the Council’s polished facade lies a web of lies, experiments, and betrayal that runs far deeper than either of them imagined.


Forced into an uneasy alliance and given a time limit to produce an heir, Serena and Lucian must navigate a treacherous world of power and manipulation, where trust is a rare commodity. As they uncover the truth about the Council’s sinister plans, their hatred begins to give way to something unexpected—a bond forged in fire and blood.


But with enemies closing in from all sides and time running out, Serena and Lucian must decide: will they fight their fates, or embrace the dangerous connection that could either save them, or destroy them both?

The Blood Contract

<p>"We discovered three more families who are openly opposed to the council and everything it represents. Their defiance was a promising development, but we had to tread carefully. We have not officially approached them yet, as we need to ensure we aren't inadvertently bringing spies into our circle." Don Jon Caster, one of Lucian's most trusted allies, reported this development to him. </p>

<p>The meeting took place in Jon Caster's exquisitely furnished office, a space that exuded power and refinement. The room was adorned with dark mahogany furniture, shelves lined with rare books, and a large, ornate desk that commanded attention. </p>
