The Devil's Bride~

Within the forbidden walls of a dark castle, there was a being whose existence was feared by everyone. Rumours whispered he was the Devil. It was said that the king of Velmont was a two-horned monster, possessing a pair of crimson eyes that burned maliciously in the darkness. Black wings erupted from his back—they said, as black as hell. His claws were sharper than a blade, they could rip humans apart in a heartbeat. Some claimed his body was covered in horrifying, demonic scales. Others said he had the most terrifying face anyone had ever seen. But no one truly knew what the king of Velmont looked like, except for the vampires in his court, because if anyone dared so much as step into the castle, uninvited, they disappeared mysteriously—never to be seen again. All her life, Jasmine has been regarded as the royal family's black sheep. By being born to a maid who was romantically involved with the king, she was considered illegitimate and a disgrace to royalty. Forced to reside in an old, crumbling tower in the farthest part of the castle, Jasmine spent her life lonely and isolated, where she constantly wished to live a normal life in the kingdom. However, on her nineteenth birthday, she was released. Jasmine thought she was finally free—finally accepted by her kingdom and by the royal family. But how would she have ever imagined her freedom would surface into a nightmare? How would she have thought she would be married off as a tribute bride to the King of Velmont? King Hades. Jasmine thinks she is ill-fated and unfortunate—marrying a man who was said to be the Devil. A man who ruled a kingdom of vampires. A man who could end her fragile life with a snap of his finger. She had heard how his ruthlessness knew no bounds. He loved to spill blood everywhere he went, even kings were threatened by his name. However, when she had arrived at the kingdom of Velmont, this very Devil had ruthlessly beheaded a noble vampire who had tried to drink her blood. And when she finally looked into the eyes of the monster she had been forced to marry, they weren't crimson and malicious. They were silver. And they were the most enchanting pair of eyes she had ever seen.
