Description
◆The vampire headmaster craves it all:
Her blood.
Her body.
Her love.
She's powerless to resist his demands—except when it comes to her heart.◆
When night falls at Volmasque Academy, vampires visit the beds of wolf shifter students, craving more than just their blood to satisfy their dark desires.
Hiding in her dorm room and watching over the first years, wolf shifter Susie is stunned when Headmaster Arken arrives to knock on the door of a vulnerable student. Haunted by her own trauma, Susie faces a difficult choice: to protect another, can she bring herself to invite the monster into her room—and into her bed?
Haunted by his tragic past, Headmaster Arken seeks solace in drink to numb his pain, trudging through the daily grind at the academy. But when Susie catches his eye, she shatters his monotony and offers a glimmer of hope for the future. Inspired by her vision to transform the academy, Arken finds himself longing not only for her blood, but her companionship as well. But to win her heart, he must confront the toughest challenge of all: transforming himself.
As darkness looms over Volmasque Academy, Susie and Arken's forbidden bond exposes them to danger. Will Susie be the one to redeem the besotted headmaster, or will his love doom her to be a victim forever?
Indulge in this HOT, emotional Dark Fantasy Romance featuring a forbidden teacher / student love story that pushes the boundaries of morality and desire. Set in an 18+ castle academy where wolf shifters are subjugated by vampires, this addictive tale will keep you up all night with fiery tension, steamy spice scenes, dangerous secrets, court intrigue, and a battle for redemption.
This is Book 1 of Susie & Arken's Duet, which serves as the prequel to Collared by the Vampire Prince (but either series can be read first).

Advance Praise
"Another well written escapist fantasy from Darcy Fayton!"
"WOW! I wasn't expecting all that had happened in this book! To start with this book had a hold over me! Between the character development and the plot of the story, I was engaged and did not want to put it down. I thought Darcy did a fantastic job with the details in the book and drawing your attention. I have read books similar to this and this one by far takes the cake!"
"If you enjoy twisted dark romances with gripping storylines, a FMC who isn't afraid to be both submissive and dominant, and confront monsters, and a MMC who is hopelessly besotted, eager to satisfy and intensely possessive, this is the story for you!"
"Just when I thought I liked Nathaniel the most from [Collared by the Vampire Prince], here comes the alluring headmaster of Volmasque Academy, Arken, to take the first place... I love how Arken’s character manages to combine in him the most gentle goodness and at the same time viciousness birthed from all that he went through."
"[Bedded by the Headmaster] is a steamy paranormal romance involving wolves and vampires. When Susie (a wolf) invites the headmaster at their school to feed from her to save another student, she has no idea what she is in for. This book is full of little plot twists and also illustrates the corruption of their world under the vampire king."
"The story revolves around Susie, a wolf shifter, and Arken, a vampire, navigating their complicated relationship at Volmasque Academy. It's a world where wolf shifters like Susie are at the mercy of vampires, and let me tell you, the power dynamics are intense! While there's some world-building sprinkled throughout, the main focus is on the romance and, let's just say, things get pretty heated. If you're into fast-paced dark romances, then this book is for you. I'm already itching to dive into the sequel!"
"This is a very spicy book, that focusses on the exploration of Susie’s goal of bringing more equality and choice to the lives of wolf-shifters and Arken’s exploration about himself and his inaction. If you liked [Collared by the Vampire Prince] I think you will like this duology as well. My personal opinion is to read this after [Collared by the Vampire Prince] , however [this] duology is considered a prequel, so the choice is yours."
"This isn’t a book I would typically pick up! But I was so glad I got the opportunity to read this eARC! Definitely a dark romance/fantasy. Liked that there was an option to skip over the very dark part!"
