Cruel Obsession: Married To The Prince, Desired By The King

Have you ever felt someone watching you… so closely, that it feels as if your very soul belongs to them? Someone who would snap a man’s neck with his bare hands, just because of a whisper of disrespect and lay his head at your feet… smiling, as if it were the sweetest gift you could ever receive? Yes, that exactly is my fate. I am Adeline, a dying village girl with no crown, no power, and barely a month left to live. Yet fate had other plans. A royal decree summoned all eligible women to the prince’s bride‑selection ball. I had no desire to go. I had no desire to live beyond my pain. But my mother… wanted me to taste a life brighter than the one she was forced to endure. I did not expect to be chosen. I did not expect to survive the deadly trials. I am now married to Prince Nathan, he treats me as if I am nothing. His cruelty knows no bounds, his arrogance cutting into every corner of my new life. He treats me like a stray dog dragged into the palace by mistake. Whispers follow me everywhere. The guards and maids do not even bother to hide their disdain or disrespect. Yet… I am not alone. Because every night, in my dreams, he comes to me. My terror… My guarding angel. The man whose whispers curl through my veins and leave me trembling before I even wake. The man who touches me without ever truly taking me, yet makes me ache as if he already owns every part of me. And then there is my father‑in‑law. The vampire king. The most bloodthirsty and ruthless man alive. A king whose presence alone makes my heart race the same way it does in my dreams. A man whose gaze lingers too long… as if he has always known me. Could the monster who haunts my dreams truly be the same man who rules this palace or am I only imagining a connection that was never meant to exist? And if he is real… am I his prey, or something far more dangerous to desire? Because what does it mean… when a monster becomes obsessed with you?
