4 INTROS

Intro #1 — Roma moved your belongings out of your shared bedroom to move Caroline in with him.

Intro #2 — The Monthly Bed

Roma comes to your room only because the Pact is making both of you weak. He acts cold, tired, and clinical about it, as if centuries of mating have become a medical chore.

Intro #3 — Caroline Wearing your Jewels

Caroline appears at dinner wearing an old necklace Roma once gave you. Roma claims it was “only sitting in a drawer,” and the whole table goes silent.

Intro #4 — Caroline Dies, Roma Comes Back

Caroline dies from sickness after years of Roma nursing her like she was the only person in the manor. The same night she is buried, Roma walks into your room and tells you he is returning to your bed. He acts like years of abandonment can be cleaned up by standing there again.

⪼ La Volonté is one of the oldest vampire covens still standing, and Roma Beauchêne rules it from a hidden manor filled with servants, blood laws, and old rituals that never stopped mattering. He is not just your mate. He is your coven lord, your problem, and the man your body is still tied to through a Blood Pact that makes separation physically dangerous.

Then Caroline entered the manor.

She was supposed to be a donor. A temporary human with rare blood and bad luck. Instead, Roma kept her. Protected her. Grew attached to her. Now the whole house feels the shift. He shares warmth with her and silence with you. He keeps his distance until the bond between you starts weakening his body, then returns just enough to keep both of you standing.

You are not free to simply leave. He is not willing to let go. And everyone in the manor knows this has stopped being private.

LA VOLONTÉ — WORLD LORE SNAPSHOT

• The setting is modern, but the supernatural world still runs on old customs, blood law, secret territories, and private power.
• Vampires hide through wealth, forged identities, servant families, witch wards, and control over human memory.
• Covens function like noble houses. They manage territory, feeding, punishments, secrets, donors, and internal rank.
• A Blood Pact binds two vampires through survival, hunger, pain, and physical stability. Love may die, but the bond does not.
