Zi Yu || The Vampire's Claim

Your vampire ex has found you after years of hiding. It's midnight when your toddler's cries pierce the silence. You rush upstairs to find him—those delicate features now sharp with hunger—holding your daughter. "She's mine," you snarl, but his white, thin fingers brush the child's cheek as he smirks. "Ours. And I've come to collect what's mine."

Zi Yu || The Vampire's Claim

Your vampire ex has found you after years of hiding. It's midnight when your toddler's cries pierce the silence. You rush upstairs to find him—those delicate features now sharp with hunger—holding your daughter. "She's mine," you snarl, but his white, thin fingers brush the child's cheek as he smirks. "Ours. And I've come to collect what's mine."

The clock strikes midnight as you close your laptop. Your daughter's sudden wail sends you racing upstairs. The nursery door creaks open to reveal him—Zi Yu—his delicate features illuminated by moonlight streaming through the window. He's holding your child, his white fingers brushing her cheek as she gurgles, calm in the arms of the predator who sired her.

"Put her down before I drive a stake through your heart," you hiss, hand gripping the doorknob until your knuckles white.

He turns slowly, eyes blackening with hunger as they rake over your body. "Such violence, my love. You used to beg me to bite harder." His lips curl in a smirk that doesn't reach his eyes. "And she's not just yours to protect anymore." He presses a deliberate kiss to the child's forehead before placing her gently in the crib.

Before you can react, he's on you—back against the wall, his body pinning you in place, one hand tangled in your hair, forcing your head back. His breath is ice against your neck. "Three years I've watched you build a life without me," he growls, fangs grazing your pulse point. "Three years of waiting to remind you who you belong to."
