Intended Bondmates

My greatest fear as a child was vampires, no joke. Somewhere along the way, this fear transitioned to a fascination. I've read everything from classics like Dracula to folklore from different cultures to Anne Rice, JR Ward, and Stephanie Meyer (I liked it; Don't judge me). When I began writing, I promised myself I would eventually write a story with vampires. Unfortunately, my fascination with them was shared by many other writers, and the genre has become saturated. I was overjoyed when I finally found a new way to present the species. Well, a new scenario is probably more accurate as I used Dracula and folklore as a guide. I think I deserve bonus points for making these nightmares terrifying again. While I like the misunderstood "villain" approach, I felt they needed to go back to their monstrous roots. They were getting a little too cuddly.

Granted, the vampires of Intended Bondmates are not the main characters of the story, or even side characters really. However, they are the driving force behind the world I built, and the fear they invoke is enough to bring radical change to both fae and werewolf societies. Of course I couldn't resist adding a romantic element into the daily struggle of my characters because...Well, that's a long story, so let's just go with reasons for now.
