Chapter 23

🔒 This chapter is locked · 20 Quills

Annie Carter wanted nothing more than a quiet life, until heartbreak found her. Lucian, the man she secretly loved, got engaged to someone else to rescue his family from ruin, and Annie gave up on love. Then came Alaric Cavendish: enigmatic, commanding, dangerously magnetic, and the new owner of the old hilltop mansion that villagers speak of only in fearful whispers. The instant their eyes meet, Annie feels a strange familiarity, as if her soul has met him before. Alaric wants her, claims her, and will stop at nothing to make her his. But he is not an ordinary man. He hides a secret that defies life, death and time itself. Torn between shattered promises, forbidden longing and a dark, addictive passion, Annie must choose between the love she thought she knew and a destiny written in blood. Some love outlives death, and some vows wait centuries to be fulfilled.
