Bound to the Vampire King

Cursed to destroy the world, vampire king Kael took Elara as his bride—by force, by contract, by fate. He never expected to love her. She never expected to be a sacrifice. When Elara uncovers the horrifying truth—she is merely a vessel to bear his child, doomed to die in labor—she fakes her death and escapes. Eight years later, she returns, not as his captive, but as the most feared healer in the vampire realm. As the past unravels, they discover their bloodline holds the key to breaking the curse. This time, they fight not for survival—but for their family.
