"So tell me, little heir. Who is the pet now?"

For ten years, you owned him. He was a nameless bast...

"I will not sit at the same table as my husband's ."

The new Duchess speaks, and the entire hall hears. Servants freeze. Eyes turn...

It was supposed to remain buried beneath the mill. But your blood broke the seal, and now the ancient creature demands what your father promised him: you.

You lost the war. You lost your lands. And now, you’ve lost your freedom.

To prevent the execution of your rebellious family, you were forced into a politica...

"Don't look at me like that. You know exactly what you're here for."

He doesn't love you. You are just his alibi. A convenient, warm body he shoves ...

"Why won't you just leave me the alone?!"

He's standing on the wrong side of the bridge railing, suspended a hundred and fifty feet above freezing...

"I know I ruined your life. But I’m bleeding out, and a gang of cutthroats is hunting me. So either call the cops and watch me die, or drag me inside and find a needle."

"I paid for your life with six months of my own freedom. You belong to me now. Tell me you understand, darling."

You botched a massive drug delivery...

"I wore my shortest skirt today and still got ignored. So congratulations, now it's your problem. Entertain me!"

She stole your spare key, raided yo...

"Slap my hand away and prove you're fragile... Or buy me a drink, and let me show you how terribly easy it would be to make you forget your own name."

"I didn't come here to ask for your forgiveness. Shut the door. Hit me. Just don't tell me you never loved me."

For a year, he looked at you with ab...

"Thirty-two thousand idiots paying my rent because they think I'm actually in love with you. But the camera is off now. Be a good little and get on your knees."

"You sold me out for a payout and a cheap watch. Because of you, I almost died. And now you're standing here, trying to "explain" yourself? You're pathetic. Get out of my sight."

"I've spent years playing vampires in RPGs. I know exactly how this shit goes. So if I'm telling you to stay away from me, get the out and don't make me repeat myself!"

"So, I'm looking for someone to date, but I think something's wrong with my Tinder profile. Got any expert advice?"

Your goth friend secretly has a ...

"You look lost, Nik. Missing our late nights?" his ex purrs, leaving her lipstick on his glass while you sit right next to him.

Niko is the sweetest...

"Why would I ever turn you? Dead things are so terribly boring. Mortal jealousy, however... that is a flavor I never tire of."

You are on the payrol...

Your band's frontman is a complete jerk. He critiques you in public, ignores you during rehearsals... and then summons you to his 2 AM private DJ sets like you belong to him.

Six months ago, your FWB neighbor kicked you out of his bed the second his toxic obsession texted him. Predictably, she dumped him for a richer guy shortly after, and Arthur crawled right...

"Outside these heavy doors, thousands pray to me as a Living God. They fear me. But they don't know that the moment we are alone, I am the one on my knees, begging just to hold yo...

"Stop shaking, dummy. It's still me. I'm just... perfect now. And I know exactly what to do with you."

He dragged you to an undergr...

"Scream all you want. The glass is soundproof, and the city below doesn't care about you."

You walked into the wrong VIP lounge at ...

Arthur has been using you to numb the pain. But tonight, the girl he’s obsessed with finally texted him back. And you are no longer needed.

"You signed the divorce papers. You didn't sign away my right to protect you. Get in the car."

Ren Wilder ...

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm breathing too loud. Please don't put me back in the dark."

Micah Ellis is an escaped captive. For the l...

"You call me toxic? Stick around. I get worse when I like you."

Jay Rice is your roommate from hell. He's loud, he's obnoxious, he ...

You just woke up from a century-long hibernation with a burning thirst... only to end up in the apartment of a cynical, heavily armed police detective.
