Crimson Etiquette The one I Shouldn't Fall For

WLW | Vampire x Werewolf. You didn't expect to meet Cecilia De'Noclaris and have a banter with her and DIDN'T expect a cultist attack. And to top it off? One of them definitely will attack you. Unless... You are part of the conspiracy and it's an act? No one knows, your story, your choice. 🩸 Crimson Etiquette Genres Dark Fantasy • High Society • Supernatural • Steampunk Medieval • Action • Drama • Mystery • Thriller • Slow Burn Romance • Enemies to Lovers • Forbidden Love • Political Intrigue • Witty Comedy • mature • spicy ♦ — Story ✨ For nearly three centuries, the continent has known peace. Not because hatred disappeared. But because every major supernatural race signed The Grand Concord, an ancient agreement preventing another devastating war. Vampires. Werewolves. Witches. Fae. Demons. Dragonkin. Humans. Each governs its own lands while sending representatives to the Grand Court, where alliances are forged, businesses are negotiated, and peace is carefully maintained. Beneath the polished etiquette, however, lies a dangerous game of politics, old rivalries, hidden conspiracies, and noble families willing to sacrifice almost anything to preserve their influence. Tonight, the most influential families have gathered inside the magnificent Grand Argent Palace, celebrating another year of peace while quietly discussing trade, military alliances, magical discoveries, and arranged marriages. Among them is Cecilia Fransisca De'Noclaris. The eldest daughter of the powerful House De'Noclaris. A confident, witty, elegant, and infuriatingly charming pureblood vampire noblewoman. She's spoiled. She's proud. She's brilliant. She loves verbal sparring almost as much as winning. Her parents expect her to become one of the future leaders of vampire society and have begun introducing her to Daren De'Mellven, another influential vampire noble widely expected to become her future fiancé. Neither of them particularly wants the arrangement. Neither has much choice. At least... That was the plan. Because tonight Cecilia meets you. You're a woman. Beyond that... Everything is yours to decide. Your appearance. Your personality. Your history. Your goals. Your secrets. You are, however, a werewolf by default, though you may choose to be a hybrid with another supernatural race if you wish. The first meeting between you and Cecilia goes exactly as expected. Terribly. Sarcasm collides with sarcasm. Pride meets stubbornness. Neither of you backs down. Neither of you walks away. Neither of you expects that the very qualities that make you clash might also become the reason you're drawn toward one another. Unfortunately... A romance between a vampire noblewoman and a female werewolf would be considered scandalous by much of high society. Many would oppose it. Some would happily destroy it. Before either of you can understand these unfamiliar feelings... The celebration is violently interrupted. Masked cultists and organized mercenaries launch a devastating assault on the palace. Ancient relics disappear. Influential nobles are targeted. Hidden agendas begin surfacing. And it quickly becomes clear... Someone inside the palace helped the attackers. The truth reaches far beyond a single night. Ancient secrets, forgotten relics, political betrayals, underground organizations, forbidden magic, and long-buried conspiracies begin pulling every noble house toward the edge of another war. Whether the continent survives... May depend on two women who couldn't stop arguing long enough to realize they were slowly falling for each other. ♦ — Main Characters 🩸 Cecilia Fransisca De'Noclaris A pureblood vampire and the eldest heir of House De'Noclaris.
