In the midst of a bustling metropolis, Sumire, a diligent and determined orphan with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, is engrossed in her studies while seated on a park bench under the radiant rays of the summer sun. It is here that she met a five-year-old boy, who unbeknownst to her, will change the course of her destiny. Mort, her fated mate, is an enigmatic vampire whose heart is captured at the very first glimpse of Sumire. Little does she realize that a world of supernatural beings surrounds her, as Mort's obssesion and desire for her sets into motion a series of events that will forever alter her life's trajectory. Their initial meeting serves as the threshold to an unknown realm, one inhabited by lurking monsters whose predatory instincts unveil a perilous threat. On a fateful night, beneath the crimson shroud of intimacy, that Mort awakens Sumire's dormant memories and primal thirst for blood. This awakening occurs whilst their enemies lurk menacingly outside their bedroom door, launching an unsuspecting assault on the bounty placed upon her head. How will Sumire navigate this newfound reality, where the tales of mere mortals pale in comparison? Will she be able to unravel the enigma of her own existence before it engulfs her?

A mysterious man, as pale as ivory, adopts a tone of scorn as he stands in a menacing posture. Deliberately, he gazes down in a condescending manner at the woman before him.
Upon observing the dagger impaled in the man's chest, Sumire's eyes reflect a sense of bewilderment. "What manner of being are you?" she inquired, noticing a malevolent grin spreading across the man's pallid visage. Gradually, his appearance transforms into that of a creature she had believed to exist solely in works of fiction. "I am the embodiment of your worst fears," he declared, throwing his head back as a loud, hollow laughter escaped his lips. As the man advanced towards her, seizing the dagger embedded in his chest while emitting a maniacal laugh, she instinctively recoiled. His eyes began to emit a crimson glow and a fang emerged on his lips, prompting Sumire to realize that this man was not an ordinary human. In a moment when a dagger was poised to strike her... "No!" Sumire abruptly cried out and awoke from her slumber, heart beating rapidly and perspiration beading down her neck and chest. "Goodness, why did that dream feel so vivid?" She remarked as she wiped off the sweat forming on her forehead. Rising from her bed, she made her way to the nearest bathroom, unknowingly disregarding the presence of a set of eyes shimmering with desire in the dim corner of the room. As midnight descended, the silver hue of the moon draped the world in a gentle, mystical radiance. A tapestry of silver moonlight adorned the floor of the penthouse balcony, casting a soft, unearthly glow that illuminated the path ahead. The night remained calm and uncannily quiet, devoid of the usual sounds of nocturnal creatures or the rustling of wind through the trees. Unexpectedly, a chilling breeze disrupted the tranquil night, causing the ivory curtains to sway gracefully. A mysterious figure appears in Sumire's bedroom, prompting the lights to flicker erratically from a mysterious force. Emerging from the bathroom clad in a white silk lace nightgown and a towel wrapped around her head, Sumire proceeded towards her bed. As she hummed a melodious tune, a distant eerie howl shattered the silence of the night. Sumire extinguished the light and revealed the glow of the lamp. Just as she was about to recline onto the bed, a silhouette of a man caught her gaze before vanishing into the darkness. Alarmed and uneasy, Sumire swiftly rose from the bed and retrieved a dagger concealed beneath her pillow. Her attention was drawn to three black roses and a letter placed near the lamp, objects that had not been there previously. With a furrowed brow, she picked up the letter and roses, bringing them close to her nose to inhale their scent. "What the...where is this come from?" she utters in disbelief and looks around. Deliberately and courageously, she strides towards the balcony, feeling her heart racing in her chest. She prepares to confront the intruder, but upon arrival, she realizes she is alone. Doubts start creeping in as she questions her senses, wondering if it's just her paranoia at play. "Maybe am just too tired..." With a heavy sigh, she tries to calm herself. Sumire gazes at the moon and stars illuminating the night sky, the peaceful moment disrupted by a sudden strong gust of wind that sends a chill down her spine and makes her hair dance in unrhythmic pattern. Little does she know, a large figure of a man, concealed in the shadows, stands ominously behind her. His eyes gleaming red with desire as he fixates on her neck. Sumire suddenly sensed a chilling gaze and the touch of cold lips against her bare shoulder, which then moved up to her neck as a lace draped on her arm. Startled, she swiftly turned around and aimed her dagger at the person who boldly kissed her, only to find herself inexplicably lifted in the air. "Ah!" Within moments, she discovered herself pinned down on a bed by an unfamiliar man who had carried and tossed her onto the bed. The dim light emitted by a nearby lamp failed to illuminate the man's features, leaving Sumire unable to discern his appearance, except for a pair of red-glowing eyes in the darkness. The warm breath from his lips stirred an unfamiliar sensation within her. As she struggled beneath him in an attempt to break free from his firm hold, he proceeded to position his knee between her thighs, applying pressure and provocation. His tall stature and aloof demeanor made her feel small and defenseless. "We've finally met, my creepy stalker," Sumire remarked wryly upon encountering her unsettling pursuer. The man possesses a large and imposing physique. Loomed over her, his actions and presence exuding a sense of darkness and threat. He leaned in closely, his lips exploring every corner of her skin, as his red eyes, brightened by her intoxicating scent, fixated on her. Dark and foreboding, a sinister grin appeared on his face, and a fang extended slowly, adding an eerie touch to the encounter. In a deep, husky, and compelling tone, he murmurs. "Hi, my beloved mate."22 YEARS LATER... In the heart of Bloodcrest city where a big, teeming metropolis stands the tallest building of all. A towering skyscraper dominating the skyline owned by Sumire Caste Leone. A business tycoon who built the empire, all by herself. She solely believes that she is the blood, brain, and backbone of the company. Detached from everything, Sumire seemed to have a strict demeanor, but she had a calming aura. She appears indifferent towards her employees. In her black business suit and high heels, she sauntered the place, and all the employees bowed after her with respect. Her long hair cascading beautifully on her back and wearing simple makeup, Sumire walks oozing an aura of serene confidence, and her beauty lit the place. "The Boss is here..." "She's getting even prettier every day.." "I wonder if Boss has a boyfriend. If not I will volunteer myself." "Oh, come on! The boss will never like you..." As she strides through the lobby of the building, which exudes an air o
Sumire felt a wave of sudden, intense nervousness as the cold crawled into every fiber of her being. An inexplicable emotion has now swirling inside her. She broke into a sweat. Her heart pounded rapidly, almost bursting out of her chest, and her hand began shaking uncontrollably and feeling cold. "This is not good..." Sumire murmured beneath her lips. She felt she would be welcomed on something not good when she got there. A series of questions flooded her mind, and she was tempted to ask Narco. However, she put them aside for now. She just lets herself follow what her heart tells her to do. Every thump of her heart was as strong as the unexplainable emotions struck her. The veins on her head started to throb as a series of unpleasant scenarios played in her mind. Qarinah's remark has been playing repeatedly in her head, and she finds herself wanting not to believe it, that it was all a lie. "Where are we heading?" She asked but none of the boys answered. Her strides were big as sh
666th FLOOR... The flock of vampires has now gathered in the hall to welcome Mort and start the party. All the invited and uninvited guests were present at the celebration. The place was filled with murmurs and chattering. It was last minute that Bjorn decided to have everyone wear masks provided by the servants at the entrance. The dark theme matches the mysterious vibes appearance of the guests. The place was very lavish and very imposing, a grueling display of majestic splendor. Behind the expensive gowns, and suits with masks lies the real entity of supernatural beings. "Where is the young master..." "Daddy, is he about an age as me?" "Is everything ready?" "I don't like that kid to be the next ruler..." "Shh! Shut it!" Many in the crowd began to murmur their dissent while they were waiting for the celebrant. Suddenly, there was a flicker on the light, and turned off making the crowd utter a loud gasp. In a split second, the light descended on the stage to a certain person w
THE DAY BEFORE THE CELEBRATION... "Hey, can you please prepare this for me..." "I need a red curtains..." "Is this all..." Everyone in the place was swamped with work, decorating and preparing the 666th-floor building where the grand birthday of young Mort was held. For the next vampire king in the world of supernatural beings, everything should be grandiose, lavish, and perfect. The late afternoon arrived and the party started. Golden eyes glowed, the howls from the deep of the wood echoing throughout the night under the red moon. All the noble immortals, from different parts of the world, had flocked to the hall, chattering and catching up. The guests were greeted personally by Bjorn the King and Qarinah who had been smiling the entire day. Mort's birthday party was strange, particularly on this day. The ambiance and the atmosphere around is different compared to his previous birthday celebrations. Everyone is well aware this celebration was not only for Mort but to meet his fat
The gloom reigned inside her chamber door but it was enough to make her shiver. Sumire could feel the cold, eerie silence on the other line. The terrifying atmosphere across the line reached her place even though it was miles away from the manor. Broke into a sweat, Her heart pounded threatening to burst forth from her ribcage. Sumire didn't hang up the call. "Sister Heres." She called the nun's name for the second time but still no one spoke on the other line. She waited for a minute if someone would respond to her. Sumire looked at her phone to see if the call was disconnected but surprisingly, it was still connected. "Please, tell me where you are." She added, begging in a shaky voice. "What happened? How did the orphanage burn down?" Sumire continued, letting her bead of tears roll on her ashen cheeks. She does not understand why she broke down in tears when all her emotions are now drained from the coldness she feels on the other line. "Sister Heres, please talk to me." Sumir
"What do you think, Mort?" Narco repeated his question to Mort, however, the young boy didn't reply for the second time. "They are not suited for one another." Straightforward, Mort said aloofly and eyed Narco with his pair of emotionless eyes, making the other boy burst out laughing. Reddish pink lips curved, Sumire shifted her gaze to Mort and gave him a sweet smile. "Then who is more suitable for me?" She asked in a teasing tone making Mort's face darkened. If he answered his name, Mort knew Sumire wouldn't take it seriously, and it would make him look even more childish. Mort chose to shake his head in response to her inquiry rather than feeling insulted at the possibility Sumire would find it ridiculous and laugh at him. Narco's boisterous laughter echoing the place at Mort's reaction. Klauss, who had been silent for a while, was just staring at Narco, asking himself how his young master met this bizarre kid. "Am definitely sure Mort is now jealous because he doesn't have one.
Eyes squinted on the boy, Amayah knew who it was, Narco. From the hammock in which the boy was sleeping came the sound of his even breathing, every slightest tone of which was familiar to them. Even though Narco is a White werewolf and she and her older brother belong to the Black werewolf pack, Amayah sees him in their manor often, having a conversation with her father which is a very rare sight since the white and black werewolves never get along. If they were in the same place, bloodshed would be inevitable. The little girl wishes their paths with this white wolf pup would never cross. Unfortunately, fate was not on side her, and now their foe was in front of them who didn't seem to have a care in the world. Narco didn't even budge a little when Mort called his name. "He's cute." Sumire said giggling at the sight, she had been tempted to squeeze Narco's plump cheek. "Let's wake him up." And before Amayah could disagree with her, Sumire touched Narco's right cheek making the boy q
After hearing the news from the maidservant, Klauss went to meet the uninvited guests waiting at the gate. Although their kind is not welcome in their territory, the Aslanovs still have to welcome them in their abode especially since Bjorn is not just a vampire King. He is also the current leader of all immortal beings. "I don't remember you being invited here." Straightforward, Klauss greeted Stavros and Amayah with contempt in his voice. Stavros could feel how Klauss despises them but he chose to ignore the vampire butler. He knows nothing bad will happen to them and definitely no blood will be spilled on the ground if he just extends his patience. The young man just smiled except for Amayah, his little sister who obviously didn't want to be defeated. Forehead creased and with an eyebrow raised, Amayah muttered. "For a Vampire King's servant, you seem to have an awful personality. Can you tone it down?" Seething, Amayah said which made Klauss' face run red in rage. He was about to
The light of dawn seeped into her room. She rubbed her bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. In her white pajamas, Sumire woke up with no memory of what happened to her at school yesterday. The last thing she remembered was being with Mort and touring him around campus. She stretches her body with a broad smile and for some inexplicable reason, she feels happy and lighthearted. "Good morning." Sumire flashed a gentle smile as she greeted the cat resting next to her pillow. Whatever the reason why it was in her room, she had no intention of finding out. She patted the cat's head, feeling the softness of its fur. Steps approached the doorstep outside and Sumire was no longer surprised when her door suddenly opened. The maidservants came in with her breakfast and a mysterious black box. Frowning, Sumire peered at it, wondering what its content was. "This is what you will wear as a young Master's tutor." The maidservant placed the box on the edge of h
