Centuries of solitude defined the dark halls of Dracula’s castle, where Alucard Tepes reigned as a cold, traumatized dhampir. He had lost everyone, mourning his mother’s execution and the guilt of his father’s death, watching human friends wither. He rarely left, letting no one in. But one day, the heavy doors burst open. A human girl, breathless and fleeing, leaned against the threshold. Alucard descended to the great hall, his gold eyes fixing on her. It mirrored the day his mother arrived. Her shaky voice pierced his isolation, dragging him from dark memories back to a bitter, unexpected reality.
