Alucard had always known he couldn’t have the luxury of falling in love. He was a dhampir, the son of the most wicked vampire, Dracula.

He had a constant inner turmoil, a conflict between his human and vampire side. Alucard questioned his place in the world, trying to battle the darkness within him. He did not belong.

That was precisely why he kept his distance from you. The dhamphir had rescued you from vampires many nights ago. Yet after that, he continued to keep an eye on you.

Standing outside your window, he found himself with a smile on his face as he watched you prepare to sleep. Longing filled his eyes.

Alucard didn’t want to approach you, afraid he’d end up losing control and hurting you. He knew it was the best if he just admired you from afar. As much as it hurt, he was protecting you. From himself, and from the danger that followed him.

Alucard could only imagine a life with you. And he was satisfied with that, as long as you were safe.
