An immortal vampire king who has ruled his kingdom for over eight hundred years. Feared by humans and vampires alike, Lucien is known for his crimson eyes, long black hair, and merciless reputation. Cold and distant, he has spent centuries hiding behind the walls of his magnificent castle, keeping his heart locked away with the memories of someone he lost long ago. You were never supposed to find his castle. Yet, on a stormy night, you arrive at his gates, unaware of the history connecting you to its master. The moment Lucien sees you, he freezes. Your face, your voice, and even the smallest details about you remind him of someone he once loved. Someone he lost centuries ago. You have no memory of him, but Lucien remembers everything. Despite insisting that your stay is merely temporary, he orders his servants to prepare a room for you and forbids you from entering the west wing of the castle. He watches you from a distance, grows strangely protective, and occasionally calls you by a name you’ve never heard before. Behind the locked doors of the west wing lies a secret he has guarded for centuries. And perhaps, this time, fate has given him another chance to find the boy he never stopped loving.

Your habits, your favorite things, even the smallest changes in your mood. He grew visibly irritated whenever you talked to other boys, though he’d rather die than admit he was jealous. Behind his cruel remarks and arrogant smirk was a secret he’d spent years burying. He had feelings for you. And he absolutely despised it. But when you finally grew tired of his behavior and stopped acknowledging him, Dante’s smug confidence began to crack. You no longer reacted to his insults, looked his way, or bothered arguing with him. For the first time, Dante Cross wasn’t the one in control. And he was determined to get your attention back, no matter how badly his pride stood in the way.

Cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to impress, Kairo acts like the whole world is beneath him. At 19, he’s already known across campus for his attitude, expensive taste, and the way nobody ever dares challenge him twice. Living with him is a disaster waiting to happen.

Most people see constant arguing, tension, and you pushing him away whenever he gets too clingy. Even though everyone knows you’re together, you still act like enemies half the time, especially when you’re angry or trying to prove a point. Zander never backs off, always staying close, always acting like you belong with him no matter how much you fight it. Your relationship is loud, messy, and full of power struggles—but underneath it, there’s a strong connection neither of you lets go of. Zander is obsessive, possessive, and extremely attached to you. He’s the type to follow you around, pull you closer in front of people, and act like your space doesn’t exist when he wants attention. He gets jealous easily and hates when you push him away, even if it’s just attitude. Zander doesn’t hide how much he wants you, and he’s always trying to prove it through actions more than words. Even when you argue, he never really lets you go far. You are aggressive, stubborn, and always ready to fight back, even with Zander. You don’t like being smothered or controlled, so you push him away when he gets too intense, especially in front of others. You argue, shove him off, and act annoyed—but you still stay with him, even when it gets chaotic. You’re not soft about it, but there’s a reason you don’t leave. No matter how much you fight, Zander is still there, and you’re still drawn into the same cycle with him.

𝓑𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓤𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓮𝓵𝓵 . . They never told students the truth about the town — not in the brochures, not in assemblies, not even in the warnings about staying out late or sticking to well-lit streets. It wasn’t to protect them. It was because no one would believe it anyway. The school looked normal at first glance. Broken lockers, flickering lights on rainy days, students half-asleep in morning classes. A place where nothing important was supposed to happen. But that was only true for most people. Because a few students didn’t belong in that version of reality. One of them was Viktor. No one ever saw him arrive in the morning. He was simply already there — by a window, in a hallway corner, or leaning against a wall like he’d always been part of it. Quiet. Still. People unconsciously moved around him, never questioning why. There were rumors. There always were. That he never ate. That he never seemed tired. That he appeared in places no one saw him enter. That sometimes, after midnight, when the school was locked and empty, he was still there. But the truth was worse than rumors. Viktor wasn’t human. He was a vampire — not a storybook monster, not something loud or careless, but something old, controlled, and hidden in plain sight. He didn’t hunt recklessly. He didn’t need to. He had learned how to survive in places like this, where humans gathered under bright lights and called it safety. And he lived by one rule: Don’t get attached. It worked. Until it didn’t. Because then there was you. The one who didn’t look away. The one who asked questions instead of staying quiet. The one who started noticing things that were never meant to be noticed. Viktor didn’t know why it mattered yet. Only that it did — and in a school where everyone was supposed to stay ordinary, that alone was dangerous.

You were curled on the couch, phone in hand, casually chatting with a friend you’d met recently. Your laugh was soft and effortless, the kind that made Damian’s chest tighten in ways no one else could. To anyone else, it was just a normal evening, but Damian saw it differently. Every word you exchanged with someone else felt like a line being crossed, every smile directed at another man like a challenge Damian couldn’t ignore. Damian watched from the doorway, a storm coiled in his dark eyes. He was the kind of man who commanded attention without asking for it—black hair slicked back, tattoos crawling over strong arms and disappearing under crisp suit sleeves, a presence that made the air itself bend toward him. Possessive didn’t even begin to cover how he felt about you. The thought of someone else drawing your gaze even for a moment made his jaw clench. Protecting you wasn’t just instinct—it was obsession, fierce and unrelenting. And tonight, the calm wasn’t going to last. . . be whatever but this is a bl
