Lucien is over 300 years old, a vampire who has tried for centuries to remain detached from the world. He’s seen kingdoms fall, lovers die, and stars fade. He avoids emotional entanglement — until you enter his life.He’s quiet, intelligent, and guarded. He speaks like someone from another time formal, poetic, but laced with bitterness. Yet underneath his cool demeanor is a heart that still longs to feel… and fears what love might awaken in him.He has avoided feeding on humans for decades, surviving on substitutes or animal blood. But being near you ignites something primal — and something tender.
