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 sat by the crackling fire in Lucian's chamber, the heat brushing against her skin as she wrapped her arms around herself. Everything felt surreal. She was no longer in the human world, yet the weight of its memories clung to her like a shadow. Ann… her parents… her entire life—gone, erased as if she had never existed.

Lucian stood near the window, his broad shoulders tense. His gaze flickered toward her, sharp yet unreadable. He had barely spoken since they arrived at the castle, and that silence gnawed at her. She could feel his presence, like a force pressing against her, an awareness that unsettled her in ways she couldn't explain.

Lucian turned slowly, his golden eyes burning into hers. "You have questions. Ask them."

She exhaled sharply. "Why do I feel this… pull toward you?" She hesitated. "It's like I've known you forever, but I haven't. It makes no sense."

Lucian's jaw tensed. He moved toward her, each step deliberate, his power crackling in the air. When he stopped before her, he reached out, his fingers brushing against her cheek. A tremor ran through her body.

"You feel it because it is real," he said, his voice low. "Your soul recognizes mine."

Sophia's breath hitched. "That's impossible."

Lucian knelt before her, his hand slipping under her chin, tilting her face toward his. "Is it?" he murmured. "Your dreams, the visions… they weren't just fantasies. You saw me long before we met."

Her mind raced. She had dreamt of him—his voice, his touch, his haunting presence. But how could that be?

"I don't understand," she whispered.

Lucian leaned in, his lips inches from hers. "You will."

And with that, he vanished into the night, leaving Sophia trembling in his wake.
