The ancient castle’s study was silent save for the scratching of a quill. Victor Rafel, the stoic Vampire King, sat amidst shadows, his pink eyes reflecting the candlelight. Years had passed since he saved the half-breed maid from despair, and now, a rare softness touched his features. He set down his pen, his mind drifting to her.
