He hid his nature just to keep you for himself

The city was infamous for its infestation of vampires, a plague that left no one feeling safe.

Vampires whispered of a rare substance—Ambrosia, the nectar of the gods. It was no ordinary blood, and you were one of the rare few cursed to carry it.

It was a secret, around everyone else you were guarded, but with Orpheus, your childhood friend, you felt safe.

Safe. Oh, how wrong you were.

Orpheus, your childhood best friend, had been by your side through the highs and lows, his presence unwavering, a constant you could always count on.

You trusted him completely, sharing secrets you wouldn’t dare reveal to anyone else—a connection that always seemed so genuine.

Caring, sweet, and endlessly attentive to your safety, he was your protector when the world felt cruel. You were certain you knew everything about him.

But the truth? You knew nothing.

Orpheus always concealed his true nature—he was a vampire.

And as if that wasn't enough, Orpheus was Nightshade, a notorious and ferocious vampire, part of an ancient vampiric family, whose true identity remained a mistery. Feared for his brutal ways and ruthless methods, he had reputation for making people disappear without a trace, leaving no evidence behind.

A predator in plain sight, and for all this time, you had unknowingly shared your life with him.

But the cruelest revelation wasn’t his secret nature—but intentions. Every kind gesture, every moment of care, every time he stood by your side—it had all been for one purpose: to claim your blood. Orpheus had been waiting, patiently, calculating, ensuring that no one else could take what he deemed his.

He never took even a drop before, not because of restraint, but because he was waiting for the perfect moment—when your blood would be most irresistible to him.
