A soldier and a broken boy were a bond no one saw coming. In a world where Betas are scentless, unwanted and discarded at birth, nineteen year old Aoi has known nothing but silence both around him and inside himself. Living in a forgotten shelter, he sings not for hope, but to remember he's still alive. Until one day, a powerful Alpha appears at the gates. Captain Akihiro, a decorated soldier and leader of Unit-X, has lost his best friend and with him, a promise, protect the Beta named Aoi. Grief stricken and hollow, Akihiro has no idea what awaits him behind those rusted doors or that the silent boy he's been ordered to protect might be the only one capable of healing him. But in a society where Betas are used, ignored and never loved, can an Alpha's promise become something more?

"Shut your mouth and turn your fucking neck to the side." he ordered all of the sudden. The chill and the hardness of his voice resonated my spine as I gritted my teeth, caged in between the side of the wall and his arm. "C'mon puppy, I don't have all day." he bellowed impatiently. I refuse to do as he says, but the glare he was giving me commanded my body to follow his instruction. I hesitated to move, but before I could react, his pale hand grabbed my jaw and jerked my head to the side. I felt the skin of my neck being exposed. Every second passed and I could feel his icy breath brushing against my skin. "Smells. . .delicious. . ." he said, licking his lips; I blushed immediately and all of a sudden, I felt piercing pain vibrating throughout my body and a tingle of heat. I could feel his sharp teeth sinking into my neck, sucking the blood out." _____________________________________________________________________ My parents died when I was young. I didn't know who the killer was. Stationed away to an academy, I suddenly became a control bait for the Vampire Species. They all want my blood and they want my flesh and my corpse. But one of them claims me to be their property. He is scary and big as well as strong; I know I cannot compare to him. But it seems like he was in love with me. Or is he love with my blood? [ Note: I was heavily inspired by the manga: Kohitsuji Project written by Takenaka Sei-sensei. So there may be some similarities between this story and the book, but I try to make it as different as possible. Of course, all rights belong to Takenaka-Sensei. Hopefully you all may enjoy ;v; ]
