Mara Averill has spent her life invisible by design: an icy, brilliant legal aid built on discipline, distance, and doors that never fully open. But the night a specific contract makes it to her desk for her to sign, her world tears wide enough for monsters to slip through. A single drop of her blood shatters the balance. Every vampire in the city can smell her: raw, intoxicating, impossible. And the first to find her is Lucien Vashkiel, an enforcer forged for obedience and violence... until he tastes her. What should have been a routine extraction becomes a catastrophe. Her scent unravels him. Her power burns through him. Her defiance only makes the hunger worse. Now Mara is hunted by creatures older than law and hungrier than death. Some who want to drink her dry, others who want to chain her, and one rumored king who might kill to claim her. But Mara is no lamb. And whatever sleeps inside her, whatever the scar in her palm was meant to cage, is waking. As the city descends into a silent war for her blood, Mara must decide which monster she'll gamble her life on: the enforcer losing himself to want... or the king whose throne is built on it. One thing is certain: Her blood won't just change their world. It will remake it. ⚠️CONTENT WARNING⚠️ This story contains: Violence, blood, and supernatural injury Abduction, restraint, and power imbalance Vampire feeding and blood-related themes Explicit sexual content Addiction-related themes Coercive situations and intense predator/prey dynamics Psychological distress and mature themes This work of fiction is very much intended for mature audiences.

Izuku was known to be an only child who was born with no quirk. Despite this set back he still aimed to be a hero, but no one believed in him. No one gave him that time of the day to try and cheer him up, instead they put him down. He was bullied by his childhood friend for being quirkless, and told he'd amount to nothing, not even his mother had faith in him. It made him feel like it was just him against the world, in order to attain his dreams... except, it wasn't just him. Did you think All Might was the first to believe in him? You're wrong, it wasn't him. No... it was someone before him. Someone who gave him hope. Someone who cheered him on and kept pushing him forward. Someone he never thought would be his motivation to keep going, even more so, when his quirk 'manifested' late. After all, she was only a kid... A kid that played a role so large in his life that when it took a turn, he never expected for her to be the one he'd rely on. The one to brave the world with him.

Additionally, they face a monster called a Bon-crocker, which takes over people's minds after they die.
