Her Dark Obsession

A Dark Fantasy Romance

Prologue: The Unseen Watcher

The night air was thick with magic. Lucian stood in the shadows, watching her. He had watched her for years, unseen and unnoticed, his presence lingering in the corners of her world.

Sophia was human—or so she thought. Living a normal life, laughing with her friends, excelling in school, and basking in the love of her foster parents. She was perfection wrapped in innocence, oblivious to the dark forces that circled her, waiting for her awakening.

And now, the time had come.

Her transformation was beginning.

Lucian clenched his fists. He knew what this meant. Every supernatural being that felt the surge of her power would come for her—some to worship, some to kill, and others, like him, to claim.

She was his fated mate. The prophecy was clear. And yet, she didn’t know him. Not yet.

But she would.

Her Dark obsession

Sophia woke up feeling restless, her skin still tingling from the night before. Lucian. His presence outside her window had been so real, yet he had vanished like a shadow.

She sat up in bed, hugging her knees. What do you want from me?

Her mind was in turmoil, but she pushed it aside as she got ready for school. She couldn't let her thoughts consume her.

At school, she moved through the halls as if everything was normal, but she could feel him. Somewhere. Watching.

Ann nudged her. "You good? You've been acting weird since prom night."

Sophia forced a smile. "Just tired."

Ann gave her a skeptical look but didn't push.

The moment Sophia walked into chemistry class, her body tensed. Lucian was there. Sitting at the back.

Ryan appeared beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist. A habit. But today, it felt different.

Lucian's gaze snapped to Ryan's hand. A chill crept up Sophia's spine.

"Since when do you take chemistry?" Ryan asked Lucian.

Lucian leaned back lazily, his eyes never leaving Sophia. "Since today."

Sophia swallowed. He was here. In her class.

The whole period, she couldn't focus. Every time she glanced back, Lucian was already looking at her.

When the bell rang, Sophia rushed outside. She needed air.

He grabbed her wrist, pulling her into the empty hallway.

His fingers didn't budge. "Tell me, Sophia," he murmured, "do you feel it yet?"

Lucian tilted his head, studying her.

"The pull," he said softly. "The truth. That you belong to me."

Her pulse hammered as Lucian slowly raised a hand, his fingertips brushing against her cheek. His touch was electric.

Lucian's lips parted as if he was about to say more—but then, a voice cut through the air.

Sophia didn't know whether to feel relieved… or disappointed.
