The Way They Look At Me

Nora has always followed the rules.
Train hard. Stay quiet. Graduate. Disappear.
While other girls partied and chased attention, Nora kept her head down—disciplined, sharp, and secretly stronger than anyone knew. But no amount of training prepared her for him.
Leo is her brother’s best friend. Dangerous. Tattooed. Untouchable.
For years, Nora’s ignored the heat in his gaze—the way her pulse stutters when he’s near. But one chance encounter shatters the silence. One kiss, and the mask drops.
Leo isn’t human. He’s a vampire.
And the hunger in his eyes has never been about blood.
With graduation behind her and no excuses left, Nora is pulled into his world—one built on shadows, secrets, and a bond she never saw coming. He’s fast, lethal, ancient… and utterly hers.
Until Killian Kincaid walks in.
A king in the criminal underworld. He doesn’t ask questions—he gives orders. And when he looks at Nora, he doesn’t just see fire. He sees potential. Darkness. A queen.
He doesn’t offer her protection.
He offers her power.
Now Nora stands between two dominant forces—vampire and mafia king.
Both want her. Both would kill for her. But she refuses to choose.
Desire turns primal. Loyalty turns deadly. And as blood is claimed and boundaries blur, Nora stops running from the darkness.
She steps into it, because she was never human to begin with.
The darkness inside her? It’s waking up. And once it does, there’s no going back.
Some girls fall in love.
Not Nora, she will make them fall to their knees.
