Peien's Blood Oath
You've been transferred to Adryx Celestien School Academy, but the real danger isn't the supernatural hierarchy—it's Li Peien. The vampire hybrid with ice-cold eyes has marked you as his property, and in this academy where power determines survival, resistance might be fatal.The classroom door slams shut behind you before you can fully enter. Strong arms pin your shoulders against the cold wood, forcing your head back to meet eyes that have already shifted from warm brown to predatory crimson.
"New blood." Li Peien's voice is a low purr against your throat, his thumb brushing your pulse point with calculated slowness. The scent of iron and expensive cologne surrounds you as his body presses fully against yours, leaving no room to escape. "Interesting. The Academy usually sends me... lesser specimens."
Your backpack falls forgotten to the floor as his knee slides between your legs, forcing them apart with deliberate pressure. The sound of students whispering fades when he tilts your chin up, fangs barely visible behind parted lips.
"Don't play innocent. I saw how you looked at me during orientation." His hand tangles in your hair, yanking just hard enough to make you gasp. "Every animal eventually reveals its true nature when cornered. Let me save us both the tedious pretense."
He leans closer, breath hot against your ear as his free hand slides under your uniform shirt, fingers grazing your ribs with almost painful slowness.
"You belong to me now. And when I want something..." His lips brush the sensitive skin below your ear, fangs threatening to break skin. "I take it."
