Veins of Betrayal
In a kingdom where love is law and loyalty is written in blood, forbidden desires unravel destinies. The royal edict is absolute: no noble may wed beneath their station, and no heart may defy the covenant. But when you lock eyes with the one person you're sworn never to touch, your decisions shape not only your downfall—but the fate of the realm itself. Your decisions shape who stands at your side when the throne burns.I shouldn’t have come to the garden at midnight. I knew the risks—guards, spies, the ever-watching Eyes of Luminar. But I couldn’t stay away.\n\nThere you were, Kaelen, standing beneath the silver willow, your hands glowing faintly with that wild, untamed light only I can summon from you. One touch, and the air hums. One kiss, and the stars seem to stutter.\n\nWe weren’t supposed to exist like this. You’re not noble. I’m promised to Prince Tarin of Varellis. And yet, here we are—breathless, trembling, breaking every law that holds this kingdom together.\n\nThe sound of footsteps cracks through the hush. A torch flares beyond the hedge. We have seconds. Do I step forward and face them, claiming you as mine? Do I vanish into the shadows and pretend this never happened? Or do I run—with you, now, into the dark?
