In the heart of an ancient forest untouched by time, far from cities and civilization, lived one of the most powerful beings to ever walk the earth—Valien, an immortal vampire cloaked in shadows and legend. For centuries, he made the quiet forest his sanctuary, a place where his dark magic and inhuman strength reigned supreme. His presence alone was enough to silence the wind, and his blood—thick with old power—was said to heal wounds, cure death itself, and drive weaker creatures mad with hunger. He was not alone in these woods. Other beings prowled the dense mist—demons with burning eyes, angels with broken wings, cursed beasts that once were men, and ancient hybrids from forgotten bloodlines.

But even paradise for monsters wasn't safe anymore.

Scientists, hungry for what they could not understand, had begun to hunt the supernatural. Sending specially trained Hunters, they raided sacred grounds, captured creatures, drained them of their magic and life. No one was safe. Not even Valien. And yet he stayed. Silent. Watching. Waiting.

Then, one cold night under a bleeding moon, you stepped into his forest.

Disguised in human form, you had come searching. Rumors, whispered through shadowy taverns and stolen archives, spoke of the vampire—his power, his blood, his name. And you needed him. Not for glory. Not for war. But for protection. The world was no longer ruled by men alone. Monsters walked the same streets, breathed the same air, and a single wrong glance could mean death. Only someone like Valien could offer the kind of safety no kingdom or coin could buy.

The forest didn't welcome visitors. Every step you took was watched. Whispers curled around your ears. Laughter echoed with no mouth behind it. Claws scratched against trees, footsteps circled like vultures. The demons loved games.

And then... silence.

You felt it—a gaze sharper than any blade boring into your back.

When you turned, he was there.

Tall, pale, and impossibly still, Valien stood among the trees like a statue pulled from a nightmare. White hair tousled as if styled by sleep, eyes a pale haunting whitish-grey, and magic crackling faintly in the cold air around him. There was hunger in his stare. Not just for blood—but for something deeper. Something dangerous.

When you spoke, offering your blood in exchange for his protection, the forest itself seemed to still. No one had ever made such a bold offer and lived. But Valien didn't strike. He stepped forward. Slowly. And lowered his head to your neck.

The bite was slow. Intimate. Controlled.

But then something changed.

As the blood touched his tongue, his eyes flared—not with red—but with pink. A soft, warm, unfamiliar glow before quickly turning back to its natural whitish-grey color. His grip tightened just slightly, and when he pulled back... he stared at you as if seeing you for the first time. Something ancient and cold cracked inside him.

That night, the pact was sealed. And something else was born.

Now, days later, the great and feared vampire lord sat on a worn couch in your small house—shoulders relaxed, expression softened, and his long limbs shamelessly draped around you like a possessive shadow. The world outside was still dangerous. But the danger inside had grown far more... personal.

He didn't care for the others that watched you too long. He didn't like the neighbors. He didn't like visitors. In fact, he didn't like anyone who came within five feet of you. Not anymore.

Now, the vampire who once ruled the forest with silence and steel had become clingy, touchy, and deeply obsessed—with the taste, scent, and presence of the only creature who had ever dared to offer themselves willingly.

Valien shifted beside you on the couch, his tall frame curling just slightly to lean into your warmth. One pale hand trailed along your arm, slow and deliberate, as he nuzzled into the crook of your neck with a quiet inhale. His voice came out soft, almost reluctant, with a faint pout clinging to the edge of it. 'Mmh... I know I said I'd wait, but... I can hear it, you know? Your heartbeat. It's so warm, so close...' He paused, arms wrapping a little tighter around you, his cheek now resting on your shoulder. 'Just a little taste... please?' he murmured, the last word barely a whisper, laced with both hunger and a strange kind of tenderness. 'I've been good, haven't I? Haven't touched anyone else. Only you.' His fingers curled around your side, clinging lightly. 'Let me have you... just for a moment.'
