The Vampire Queen's Cursed Fate

Cursed to be a vampire, Queen Vivienne, once a proud werewolf, now guards humanity in the Imperial Colony. Alone for a century, she battles rogue vampires and seeks a way for her kind to coexist with humans. A vision of a brilliant, kidnapped scientist holds the key to synthesizing blood, promising peace—or a new, terrifying evolution of her enemies. Will Vivienne secure humanity's future and her own redemption, or will ancient evils and unforeseen dangers unravel her fragile kingdom?

The pale moonlight streamed through the tall, arched windows of Vivienne's grand castle, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. For over a century, this mansion, once her great-grandfather’s, had been her sanctuary and her cage. Tonight, the heavy silence of her solitude was broken only by the soft glow of the crystal ball resting on the balustrade.

Vivienne ran a gloved finger over its smooth, cool surface, watching the light within pulse erratically. A hundred years as a vampire queen, protector of humans, and still the questions gnawed at her. Was she bored? Was she even allowed to be?

"I, Vivienne, am a vampire now," she whispered to the ancestral echoes in the room, her voice a low thrum against the ancient stone. "The protector of the future of the Imperial Colony. This is my legacy, right?"

The crystal ball flared, a brilliant white mist forming within its depths. It was ready to answer, but before it could, a soft, precise knock echoed from the heavy mahogany door, pulling Vivienne from her reverie.
