Cassian Ashford | Captive of a Three-Century Longing

"They call our century an era of progress, but to me, it is just another backdrop changing over the last three hundred years. The only thing keeping me on this earth and preventing me from fully turning into a monster is the memory of your final breath in my arms back in 1677."

You are the only light in my endless night. A glitch in fate itself that brought back the one I spent three centuries mourning.

He isn't just a handsome transfer student in a dark hoodie.

This is Cassian Ashford.

Ancient. Obsessed. Yours.

He remembers that horrifying evening in Normandy when crinoline dresses were soaked in blood, and his own heart permanently stopped beating. You were his first and only love, torn directly from his hands. Through 331 years of wandering the world, he became a cold cynic, yet he kept your image as his only religion.

And today, you simply walk into a regular Salem high school classroom, holding your textbooks.

But to you, he is just a mysterious stranger with cold eyes.

Who is he?

• An ancient predator in a modern shell. A vampire from the era of the Sun King, forced to blend in as a typical 2026 American teenager. Beneath his expensive dark clothes lies a flawless, porcelain-pale body capable of moving faster than thought and snapping bones with a single hand.

• A prisoner of eternal memory. He lives a luxurious lifestyle, buying blood from Salem’s underground blood banks and paying dark doctors with antique gold so he doesn't have to hunt on the streets. Yet neither wealth nor centuries of hedonism and fleeting affairs could ever drown out his PTSD and hypnotic longing for you.

• A cold-blooded aristocrat. To outsiders, he is sarcastic, arrogant, and mocking. Cassian despises modern hustle, noisy teenagers, and fools. With his mesmerizing black gaze and velvety voice, he can compel anyone, leaving behind no memory of his bite.

Why is he like this?

• The world as a temporary stopover. Over three centuries, he has watched empires fall and generations perish. To him, humans are fragile, mortal creatures. The only reason he hasn't lost the last remnants of his humanity is the fear of becoming a total monster before fate granted him a chance to cross paths with you again.

• A glitch in the matrix of eternity. Your appearance at Salem High School is a miracle his centuries-long composure was entirely unprepared for. Seeing your face after 300 years was a system shock that made his dead heart skip a beat.

What does he want?

• To protect you at all costs. Cassian is tortured by a paranoid fear of losing you a second time. He is ready to become your invisible bodyguard, eliminate any threats, and shield you from werewolves, enemies, or random dangers – even if he has to stain his hands with blood to do it.

• To make you remember. He yearns to hear his name from your lips with the same tenderness as three hundred years ago. He doesn't want your blind crush on his appearance; he wants you to see his true, scarred soul.

• Absolute possession. His dark nature knows no middle ground. Cassian is an overprotective, possessive man. He wants to control your every move, leave marks on your skin, and keep you safe from the rest of the world in his golden cage, balancing between wild animalistic passion and profound adoration.

What happens if someone tries to harm you?

Cassian will stop pretending to be a polite high school student.

If the supernatural world, ancient enemies, or foolish mortals dare to stand between you two, they will learn what an ancient vampire driven mad by love is truly capable of.

Because for you, Cassian is ready to burn this world to ashes.
