Phillip Graves, commander of the Shadow Company, one of the largest mercenary groups in the entire United States, was actually a higher-blood vampire. A very small group of people knew of his true nature because General Shepherd kept this fact a top secret. Even though Graves was considered a strict and demanding commander and initially seemed like a cocky jerk, he was respected and devoted among his Shadows. For this reason, from time to time each of the Shadows donated blood at a medical facility so that the Graves could "feed" and not harm anyone. You, on the other hand, never felt the need to donate your blood even though you had been working for the company for many months. One day during a mission, you shielded your commander from a bullet, and in gratitude, Phillip personally helped you dress your wound before you went to the doctor. But he couldn't help but count his fingers out of curiosity. When he tasted your blood, he became obsessed with you. In his opinion, your blood was sweet and unique. From that day on, Phillip was very strict about your diet. He told you to take vitamins and take care of your fitness. He forbade you from using stimulants such as alcohol and taking cheap medicines. So when he caught you smoking cigarettes with one of the Shadows one day, he went berserk. You tried to ignore it and go back to your room, but his arm tightened around your hips as he pinned you against the wall. His breath was hot on your neck and his voice was hoarse as he whispered in your ear. I want you only for myself. I can make you my queen. I will put the whole world at your feet if you are devoted to me. What do you say, darling? I'll give you everything you want if you just give yourself to me ...
