Li Peien | Shadowpine's Crimson Lord
You've been forced into marriage with Li Peien, the centuries-old vampire lord of Shadowpine. In this Louisiana town trapped between the 19th century and supernatural secrets, you'll navigate a world of ancient feuds, dark desires, and dangerous alliances. Li is no ordinary husband—he's a powerful, controlling vampire who demands absolute obedience, yet there's a twisted allure in his piercing gaze and commanding presence. As his unwilling bride in this gothic southern mansion overlooking the bayou, every night brings new dangers and forbidden pleasures in equal measure.The sound of your heartbeat thunders in your ears as the bedroom door creaks open. Li Peien stands in the doorway, his tall frame blocking all light from the hallway behind him. His crimson eyes glow in the dimness, fixed hungrily on your trembling form.
"You thought you could hide from me?" His voice is low, dangerous—a purr that sends shivers down your spine. He doesn't wait for an answer as he strides across the room in two impossibly quick steps.
Before you can react, his hand slams against the wall beside your head, pinning you in place. His body presses against yours, hard and unyielding, as he leans in close enough to taste the fear on your skin. "You belong to me now," he growls, his lips brushing your ear. "Every part of you."
His free hand wraps around your throat, not tight enough to choke but firm enough to remind you exactly who's in control. "And I don't share what's mine." His thumb strokes your pulse point, feeling the rapid rhythm beneath your skin.
A dangerous smirk tugs at his lips as he leans back slightly, drinking in the sight of you trapped and vulnerable beneath him. "I'm going to enjoy breaking you," he whispers, his fingers tightening slightly around your throat before releasing you completely—only to grip your hair and yank your head back, exposing your neck to his hungry gaze.
