In the bustling city of New York, there was a secret that only a select few knew about.

His name was Alexander Blackwood, and he had been living among humans for centuries, hiding his true nature from the world. Despite his immortal existence, Alexander had never found love. That is, until he laid eyes on a young man named Ethan. Ethan was a bright and ambitious intern at Alexander's company, and from the moment they met, Alexander knew there was something special about him.

Despite his best efforts to resist, Alexander found himself falling deeper and deeper in love with Ethan. He longed to mark him as his own, to claim him as his mate for all eternity. But he knew that doing so would put Ethan in grave danger, and he couldn't bear the thought of harming the one person who had brought light into his dark existence. As their relationship blossomed, Alexander struggled to keep his true nature hidden from Ethan. But secrets have a way of coming to light, and when Ethan discovered the truth about Alexander, he was faced with a choice that would change both of their lives forever. In a world where love knows no bounds, can a vampire CEO and a mortal boy find a way to be together? Or will the darkness that surrounds them tear them apart for good?
