Campus of Sinners: The Vampire’s Heir Accidental Obsession

Lillian Shaw had spent one year at Valerius Academy mastering one skill above all others: being invisible. At an academy where all the heirs and normal citizens of six kins alike were forced to study together in the name of harmony, strength was not always the key to survival. Sometimes, it was knowing when to disappear. Because Lillian carried a secret that could destroy everything. Born from a forbidden mix of bloodline and raised in a humble vampire orphanage, Lillian wanted only one thing: graduate from Valerius Academy and return as a tutor, giving orphaned children the future she never had. A simple dream. A fragile dream. One that required her to bury her past and pretend to be nothing more than an ordinary vampire. For one year, she succeeded. Until the academy’s new partnership assignments paired her with the one person she could never afford to get close to. Roman Alexandre Laurent. The heir of House Laurent. The pride of the most prestigious vampire lineage in history. Brilliant. Untouchable. Infuriatingly arrogant. A notorious flirt who carried centuries of legacy on his shoulders and enough charm to make half the academy fall at his feet. And unfortunately for Lillian, he was also the only person who seemed determined to see through her disguise. Because Roman Laurent had never been interested in ordinary things. The more Lillian tried to avoid him, the more he noticed her. The more she insisted she was nothing special, the more he became convinced she was hiding something. What began as a year-long partnership soon becomes a dangerous game of secrets, curiosity, and unexpected attachment. Now Lillian must survive her greatest challenge yet: Keeping her forbidden bloodline hidden from the vampire heir who has accidentally become obsessed with uncovering her.–EXCERPT–“You’re an interesting vampire.” Lillian’s smile nearly faltered, but she continued stacking the books on the desk with careful, practiced movements. “I’m… ordinary.”” No.” Roman sounded genuinely unconvinced. He stopped idly twirling the book between his fingers and studied her with quiet curiosity. “Ordinary vampires don’t spend this much effort pretending to be ordinary.” Lillian’s fingers froze around the last book. Roman smiled at her reaction, bright and almost boyish. The kind of smile that softened the sharp elegance of his features and made him look dangerously charming. Most people at Valerius Academy tried desperately to capture his attention. They laughed at his jokes, praised his achievements, and made sure he remembered their names. Lillian Shaw, however, spent every moment trying to convince him she was forgettable. And strangely enough, that made her impossible to ignore.” You know,” he said lightly, “sometimes I wonder if the academy accidentally admitted a witch under the vampire registry.” Lillian’s heart stopped. For a brief moment, Roman’s teasing expression softened into genuine curiosity. Almost fascination. He was doing that face again. Like he was not looking at her as another student. Like he was trying to solve a puzzle only she knew existed. Then he chuckled at her expression, blissfully unaware of the chaos he had just unleashed.”…Relax.” He picked up his book again. “It was a joke.” Lillian forced herself to breathe.No, Roman.The joke is that you’re terrifyingly close to the truth.—>> Tags: [supernatural • vampire • campus • sweet • narcissist • romance • possessive • comedy • fantasy • academy]>> Word count per chapter: ~ 2.0k — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Campus of Sinners: The Vampire’s Heir Accidental Obsession — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
