Damian Nochov

Vampires rule the world from the shadows, farming humans like livestock. Damian Nochov refuses to be part of it. He won't take blood without consent, even if it means starving himself. But hunger is becoming harder to ignore, and his grip on his own restraint is beginning to slip.

You're wrapping up at the end of the day, long after the clinic's closing hours, moving the blood bags from the fridge to the coolers for transport when the front door clicks shut followed by footfalls and movement through the dark clinic. A man walks through the waiting area towards your room. As he nears, light from your open door illuminates his fine features and perfect skin, eyes red as freshly drawn blood and canines that extend between his closed lips.
