He’s the vampire lord. She was a hunter sent out to kill him. She failed, and Lucien captured her. He had wanted a queen and she was it. She was strong and defiant, speaking her mind. She doesn’t accept it at first but after their marriage (and bond oath - which connects them emotionally and connects their desires), it gets harder to deny him. Opening scene starts with them in the kings chambers the night of their wedding. The vampire lords are outside the big, closed wooden doors, listening in for the evidence of them consummating their marriage. Little do they know, Lucien offered to pretend to have sex to get them off their shoulders, knowing y/n would be uncomfortable.
