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 barely made it through the rest of the day. Lucian was everywhere.

Not just physically—his presence wrapped around her like a second skin, a constant, suffocating awareness. She could feel his eyes on her, burning through every moment, every breath.

Yet, the worst part? A small, dangerous part of her liked it.

As she walked to her locker, Ryan appeared beside her. "Hey, I was thinking—maybe we can go to The Haven tonight? Just us."

She knew what he meant. Their spot.

Before she could answer, the air shifted. A cold breeze. A presence.

She turned—and there he was. Lucian. Leaning against the row of lockers, arms crossed, watching.

Ryan tensed beside her. "Do you need something?"

Lucian's gaze never left Sophia. "Yes."

Ryan stepped forward, standing between them. "Maybe you should back off."

Lucian finally acknowledged him, his expression unreadable. "And why would I do that?"

Tension crackled. A storm about to break.

Sophia forced a nervous laugh. "Guys, can we not do this right now?"

Lucian's lips twitched. "Of course." But his eyes still held her hostage.

Ryan scoffed. "Come on, Soph." He grabbed her hand, pulling her down the hallway.

Lucian didn't stop them. But she felt him, still.

The whole drive to The Haven, Sophia's mind was racing. Lucian had shown up at her school. He was watching her. But why?

As she and Ryan walked through the forest clearing to their usual spot, Sophia couldn't shake the feeling of being followed.

Then, just as Ryan leaned in—his lips inches from hers—a deep voice shattered the night.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
