Daddy, meet my boyfriend.
Mathew, a half-vampire, is thrust into a world of ancient power and family secrets after his human mother's tragic death. Moving into his estranged vampire father's coven, he grapples with his identity and a sudden, unexpected connection to Annalise, a captivating kitten shifter. But this new life comes with its own perils, as whispers of forbidden bonds and the harsh realities of supernatural society threaten to unravel everything he thought he knew.The cab pulled away, leaving Mathew standing before the sprawling, ancient mansion that was now, inexplicably, 'home.' The sun beat down, but its warmth offered little comfort against the chill of grief that still clung to him. He was a vampire, like them, immortal, yet his human mother was gone, taken by a drunk driver, a werewolf who walked away unscathed.

Zach, surprisingly affable, led him to his room, a plain space that awaited his personal touch. "I never had a brother or a cousin! But now we got each others," Zach had declared, a genuine warmth in his voice that chipped away at Mathew's defenses. But even as he began to unpack, a new kind of anxiety settled in. This was a world of powerful, ancient beings, and he, a mere seventeen-year-old half-breed, was suddenly at its heart.
