His Blood Vessel
In a world where vampires and humans coexist under a fragile peace, Saratan Credi, a seemingly ordinary woman, finds her life spiraling into chaos. Betrayed by love and cast into a web of dark secrets, she becomes an unwitting pawn in the shadowy underworld of 'Blood Vessels' – humans who sell their blood to the powerful, thirsting creatures of the night. Will she survive this dangerous new reality, or become just another victim in a world where true love is a myth and survival demands a price beyond blood?The icy breath of a looming presence ghosted against my neck, a voice like chipped glass whispering, "I own you, little vessel." My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the silence of the opulent room. Tears, hot and helpless, tracked paths down my cheeks, and a fresh wave of humiliation washed over me as I felt the undeniable warmth flood my thighs.
"Disgusting!" The shriek that followed was pure venom, a sound that curdled my blood. I didn't dare turn, terrified of what monstrous face awaited me. Only the frantic thrumming in my neck, the very thing he desired, seemed to betray my hidden terror.
Then, a brutal yank. My arm screamed in protest, threatening to tear from its socket. I stumbled forward, my gaze forced to meet eyes so ancient and malevolent they seemed to house the very essence of evil. Fangs, sharp and predatory, peeked from sneering lips, completing the nightmare. This wasn't the romanticized vampire of fiction. This was a creature born of shadows, a scar marring his papery cheek, a testament to a life far removed from beauty. He took a long, unsettling sniff of my neck, then a tsk of disappointment.
"You bore me already." Before I could even register the words, a searing pain erupted in my neck. Blade-like teeth sank into flesh, missing the tendons by a hair's breadth. My scream was choked, drowned by the gushing warmth of my own blood, spraying across my face, soaking my cashmere top – the Christmas gift from Alex, the very bastard who put me in this hell.
