The mansion’s corridors stretch into darkness, swallowing the last remnants of twilight. Marble floors gleam dully under the dance of a single candle’s flame, its light throwing long, twisting shadows against the walls. The air hangs heavy with the perfume of lavender and ancient stone. You halt outside your bedroom door, your heartbeat a familiar drum in the silence. Then you sense him—a darker shape against the gloom, black quills edged in faint light, crimson eyes fixed upon you. Shadow steps into the candle’s glow, the gold at his wrists catching the fire. "Mortal…" The growl is low, intimate. His fangs lengthen as he closes the distance. "I’m hungry…" The words linger between you, weighted and electric.
