"Three bloodlines must merge within one person!"

I stood at the edge trembling like a leaf, as I pushed my body against the wall.

My eyes fixed on the approaching man with red eyes and sharp fangs.

Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with him not to harm me, but deep down I knew this was my destiny.

The prophesy tells that I would be bitten by the most powerful vampire while carrying the child of an unscented wolf in my womb.

"Sophia!"

The sound of that echoing voice snapped me back to reality. I blinked trying to shake off the remnants of my dream yet still feeling its presence as if it were real.

Was I so engrossed in the book I was reading that it invaded my dreams?

"Do you want to get yourself killed?"

"Huh?" I automatically responded processing the words of my friend Bella in my mind. "Why are you sleeping here as if it's your own house?"

I hadn't even looked at her yet but I could imagine her rolling her eyes and gesturing frantically to the surroundings reminding me that I wasn't at home.

"Our boss, who's loving but heartless, has been calling you multiple times."

My heart thumped loudly in my chest, causing me to sit up and gaze at her foolishly. "A-Are you sure?" I quickly corrected myself, wiping my lips and asking, "I-I mean, why?"

I was curious about what our boss needed from me. Did I do something wrong?

But it was too late.

I swallowed hard as I realized I had fallen asleep in the middle of my work. How long had I been like this?

I knew I was sleep deprived because I felt exhausted.

After finishing my shift at Hildart, I still had tasks waiting for me at home.

But why was I complaining?

Even if I explained my situation, it would be pointless because Sir Eros didn't care. Who was I, anyway?

Taking a deep breath, I turned to face my printer. It was still on and I hadn't finished the printing task Miss Bimbie had assigned me. I was in trouble.

Shaking her head, Bella said, "I don't know. Maybe he needs the document Miss Bimbie gave you to print?"

I exhaled, trying to calm my fear. But as I bit my bottom lip. my gaze focused on a circle that resembled a drop of liquid on the topmost bundle of papers on my desk. My eyes widened as I realized it was my saliva.

Swallowing hard, I looked at Bella and asked, "Has it been 10 minutes since he called?"

"It's only been about 3 minutes," she replied with a shrug. "Remember, there was one time it took five minutes because I had a hard time waking you up..." She glared at me. "It's best to keep your distance. Don't get too close to him or you'll end up dead."

I breathed a sigh of relief at the mention of those '3 minutes,' but it didn't mean I was out of danger. I still had two consequences to face. First, I hadn't finished printing all the paperwork Miss Bimbie had assigned me. And secondly, my saliva had soaked the topmost paper.

Tidying up my messy hair into a bun, I forced myself to stand up. I knew Sir Eros didn't want an ugly employee, but it didn't matter. If he wanted to kill me, I would let him. After all, I had a tragic life, and it was exhausting.

I was living with my aunt, who was my mother's cousin and mated to a powerful warrior.

She had a son and two daughters, but they didn't treat me well.
