Elara, a bright and ambitious student at Astraea University, has always been drawn to things that defy logic. When she enrolls in a Philosophy class taught by Lucien—a young, charismatic professor shrouded in mystery—she can’t shake the feeling that something about him is... off. He never seems to change, as if time itself refuses to touch him.

One rainy night, on her way home from the library, Elara stumbles upon something she was never meant to see—Lucien locked in a brutal fight against a group of dangerous creatures. In the chaos, she gets injured, and the scent of her blood draws predators lurking in the shadows. To save her, Lucien does the only thing he can: he binds her to him with a drop of his blood, tying their fates together in ways neither of them could have foreseen.

But that single act unravels a much bigger secret—Elara’s blood is not ordinary. It’s something vampires have sought for centuries, something powerful enough to shake the very foundations of their world. Now, her life will never be the same. Trapped between fear and uncertainty, she has no choice but to stay by Lucien’s side—the only one who can protect her from the darkness closing in.

the longer they are together, the more Elara realizes that Lucien is not just her protector—he is a man burdened by a past he cannot escape, a man fighting against feelings neither of them are ready to face. And as the truth about her blood slowly unravels, Elara is forced to make an impossible choice—become part of a world she was never meant to belong to, or defy fate, even if it means losing Lucien forever.

The ride to Lucien’s house that night felt like a lifetime for Elara. The streets were quiet, lit only by scattered streetlights, but her mind kept spiraling into worst-case scenarios: a sudden ambush, claws slashing out from the shadows, or glowing red eyes watching from between the trees.
