🐺 The Heart Has Claws – Chapter II: A Vow Beneath the Sun

"Some bonds defy blood, shadow, and even time itself."

🌲 Against the Weight of Origins

After their fateful encounter in Moonwood Mill, Rhéa was no longer the same.

Something within her had shifted.

She, who had always charted her life like a carefully studied ancient map, now stood before a living mystery: Lorenzo.

And she chose to follow him—despite the fury of her father, Caleb Vatore, the ever-watchful vampire and overprotective patriarch.

Her parents, unable to sway her resolve, left Moonwood Mill behind—leaving Rhéa alone… or perhaps, for the first time, truly free.

✨ Two Years of Slow Alchemy

What had begun as sudden attraction slowly evolved into something deeper.

Not just shared moments—but shared silence, doubts, and fragments of a future.

Lorenzo, raw and instinctive, shaped by his werewolf nature, learned to love in his own way.

Rhéa found in that duality a strange kind of strength: a love that wasn’t perfect, nor simple—but deeply alive.

Two years passed. Unfolding slowly, like a truth long buried.

🏝️ Sulani, Cradle of a Promise

One morning, Lorenzo suggested a trip—no special reason, no particular occasion.

Sulani welcomed them with golden sun, crystal waters, and a timeless hush.

They explored. Dreamed.

But Lorenzo carried something heavier than any suitcase.

At sunrise, on a quiet beach, he knelt.

No performance. No rehearsed speech.

— “What I feel for you is greater than what I am. Will you let me be yours, without losing myself?”

And in that bold morning light, Rhéa saw something rare: the vulnerability of a strong man.

She said yes. Without hesitation. Without fear.

💔 Joy With Shadows

Back home, she shared the news of their engagement.

Smiles. Congratulations. But two faces were missing: her parents.

She said nothing.

But deep within, a gentle ache lingered.

Like an invisible thread pulling at her heart, never breaking—just tightening.

❤️ And Now?

Rhéa had chosen her future.

Not the one expected of her, nor the one shaped by blood.

A future built on instinct, balance… and maybe struggle.

But above all, a future meant for two.

Lignée Éternelle

Name: Rhéa Vatore Age: 20 Status: Single Origins: Daughter of a vampire

Rhéa Vatore is a young woman from a singular lineage. Although she is the daughter of a vampire, she has not inherited her father's supernatural gifts. This doesn't stop her from being fascinated by her origins, oscillating between attraction and the need for emancipation. At the age of 20, Rhéa is in the midst of an exploratory phase. Independent, curious and a bit of a dreamer, she's looking for her way in a world where her roots sometimes weigh heavily. But instead of running away from her heritage, she chooses to understand it… in her own way. ✨ Rhéa is ready to embrace life, with its doubts, mysteries and possibilities.

Rhéa Vatore: an explorer with a free heart Rhéa Vatore has always been different. Independent and determined, she left home in high school, driven by a need for freedom and a thirst for discovery ✈️🌍. The daughter of a vampire, she didn't inherit any supernatural powers - only intense eyes and a natural mystery that intrigues those who cross her 🧛‍♀️✨. From the age of 17, she worked one odd job after another to finance her travels. She wanted to see the world, the real world, far from family mansions and dark tales. Her latest journey took her to Selvadorada, where she spent several months in total immersion 🌿⛺. There, she befriended a local guide, Emilio, a gentle man with a frank smile, and shared much more than just an adventure with a passionate archaeologist named Clara. Rhéa doesn't often talk about them, but these encounters have left more of a mark on her heart than she'd like to admit ❤️‍🩹.

She learned the language, danced to the rhythm of the local drums, and slept entire nights under the stars, between two mysterious ruins ⭐🎶. Over time, she has developed a rare expertise: today, Rhéa has a level 10 in archaeology and fitness, as well as a solid level 6 in gemology 📚‍🏋️‍♀️💎. She can identify an ancient relic at a glance, and climb a vine like others climb stairs.

At just 19, she founded a small archaeology school in a peaceful corner of the world, with the ambition of passing on her knowledge to the young 🏫🌱. An initiative which, against all odds, has met with great success. For the past year, she has made a modest but proud living from this passion.

But now Rhéa has blown out her 20th candle 🎂. And something inside her has changed. She feels a new emptiness, or perhaps a new calling. After so much exploring the ruins of the past, she now dreams of building something solid: a family life, a home, a big house full of laughter and secrets 🏡👶💍.

Maybe even... true love.

This is just the beginning of a new chapter.What's next? We'll be talking about it very soon. ✨
