The Crimson Deception by _vyomish

A woman steps into a world where power is everything, but the truth is the deadliest weapon. Seeking refuge, she finds herself entangled in a family bound by deception, haunted by betrayals, and hunted by enemies lurking in the shadows. As secrets unravel, hidden bloodlines come to light, and old wounds are torn open. Love and trust turn into weapons, alliances shift like sand, and the line between loyalty and vengeance begins to blur. But the real enemy isn't the one they see-it's the one they never suspected. In a war where the past refuses to stay buried, survival means destroying the very foundation they once stood on. And when the final truth is revealed, no one will be the same.

Sweet Like Poison...(BWAM, Mature Paranormal Romance 18+) by Rachael_Abeauty

Vampires; I'd only ever heard stories about them, never had the privilege of meeting one in person. The rules that had been enacted and enforced by the human faction's government, run by my father, forbade that anyone venture into the southern forests. And so, we humans went on with our daily routine, no one daring to spare the cursed forests even a single glance. What I had not anticipated, was that, a mistake foolishly made by my own father; the breaking of a blood covenant, would effectively result in me coming face-to-face with the head of these nightly creatures; the one and only hybrid. And this volatile man, was the epitome of darkness, and the embodiment of death... ALL CONTENT WITHIN THIS BOOK IS PURELY FICTIONAL AND WORKS OF MY IMAGINATION. MY BOOK IS NOT FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN!!

The world has been overcome and infected by monstrous freaks of nature known as primals.
