******************************************

A long long time ago, when there were less humans and more monsters living on the earth. Among all the species, the strongest being on the earth was called 'vampire'. They live on blood and to survive, they were experimenting on other creatures who'd help them alter their food from blood to something else. But, every time the vampire scientists tried discovering something new which could keep them from extinction, they failed.

At this point, their leader passed an order which was to mate with humans. Nobody in the clan can choose their mates among the clan. They must hunt humans, not for their blood, but for their womb who'd carry their children. The fact that vampires had the ability to impregnate even males. And about ninety percent of vampires were males.

That's how it passed generation after generation and the kids of the clan must go to the human world to find their perfect mate once they come of age. And once they find the most attractive woman for them, they'd either seduce them or bring them their homeland directly even if by force.

It was the day when Yeonjun, the elegant hybrid, born from a British lady and a royal vampire, just turned 130. As he was a royal, everyone from the clan came to congratulate him for his coming of age. He also was excited to go meet new people, new world since he was always curious about the outer world. The curious, naive, young boy who had the special ability to enchant anyone with his sparkling eyes, though he never used his power on others.

His father, Count Eloisen had prepared everything to send his son to the human city.

But that night, when everything turned back tranquil, Yeonjun prepared himself to hit the hay, a question arose in his young heart. When his father came to say goodnight to him, he finally asked him, "Father!"

"What if I can't find my true mate?"

"Haha, my little boy. It's okay if you can't find tomorrow. You can go to the human city next year. But, remember, you'll only get three chances. If you can't find anyone, you'll be shifted to a night searcher. And after that, you can't fall in love, you know that, right?" His tone was soft as he brushed his finger through Yeonjun's hair.

Yeonjun lay down while sighing. A night searcher, huh? That kind who hunts other creatures and kills them to provide blood to the clan? With his soft heart, he can never get that job. That's why he must find a mate, a true one.

"Father?" His curiosity only grew.

"Hm?"

"How did you find mom? How did you know that she was the one for you?" He looked at his father with his doable eyes.

"...I saw her during my hunt. I spotted her amidst a crowd. But, as soon as I saw her, my heart started racing, as if she casted spell on me. I couldn't shake her out of my mind for even a second for the next week. That's when I realized she was the one."

"You'll also know when the time comes." He chuckled.

"If you loved her so much, why did you let her die?" Yeonjun asked again.

And for a long minute, his father stayed quiet. Then, with a big sigh, he began, "Sometimes, you have to do those things you don't want to. I had to let her go, for her sake." His smile fainted as he caressed his son's forehead one last time before stepping out.
