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 lay awake in the grand chamber, the moonlight spilling through the arched window, casting silver patterns across the stone floor. Lucian was nowhere to be seen. He had left her with more questions than answers, his words echoing in her mind.

She shivered, not from the cold but from the way his presence consumed her. Every moment near him sent a fire through her veins, awakening something inside her that she wasn't ready to face.

With a frustrated sigh, she sat up, slipping out of the bed. The silk nightgown Lucian had left for her clung to her curves, the fabric whispering against her skin as she moved toward the window. The castle stretched beyond the cliffs, bathed in darkness, its towers reaching for the sky. Somewhere out there, Lucian prowled the night like the predator he was.

A sudden shift in the air made her freeze.

Sophia spun around. Lucian stood in the doorway, his golden eyes glowing, his presence thick with something dangerous. He stepped into the room, closing the door behind him, his movements slow, deliberate.

"You left," she accused, her voice quieter than she intended.

"I had things to handle." His gaze dropped, raking over her bare arms, the delicate curve of her collarbone. "But I never left you."

Sophia swallowed hard. He was too close now, the scent of fire and something intoxicating clinging to him.

"Why do I feel this way?" she whispered.

Lucian exhaled, his fingers lifting to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear. "Because you are mine, Sophia. You always have been."

Her heart pounded. "That's not fair."

Lucian tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. "Nothing about this is fair."

For a moment, silence stretched between them, thick with tension. Then, as if pulled by an unseen force, Sophia leaned into him, her breath mingling with his.

Lucian's fingers tightened against her jaw. "Careful, little fae. If you come any closer, I won't be able to stop."

Sophia shivered. But she didn't move away.
