Hidden

She was never supposed to happen.

Our coven was one turning from whole. A born vampire, his second, and the human we hadn’t dared to change. We had everything the blood asked of us. We needed no one. Not even her.

She walked into the gala she built, and every instinct three centuries had sharpened went quiet.

Leif knew first. The half-moon at her thumb he never noticed before, the pulse that called across a crowded hall.

Enzo circled her all night and couldn’t say why.
Davi crashed her party and ruined her against a locker before any of us understood what she was.

A Bride. Unclaimed. The thing a coven never knows it’s missing until she’s standing in it.
She gave us one night. Then she gave us the word covens almost never hear.

No.

So we did the merciful thing. We reached into her mind, gave the night back to her clean, and let our Bride walk out the door remembering nothing.

We’ll find her again. They always come back.

She’s already gone.

Except she remembers every second.

Hidden is a spicy, why-choose vampire romance novella and the Book 0 prequel to The Sanguine Agreement Series. Expect a born vampire and the coven he hasn’t finished building, one reckless night, a heroine who says her own no, a mentor whose warning outlives her, and a complete origin story that lights the fuse for Cascade. No cliffhanger, just the match.
