In a world where vampires didn't rise in secret, but were unleashed by human hands in the aftermath of genetic warfare, blood is currency, power is eternal, and lies bleed just as easily as throats. A century after the Hemogenic Accord - the global treaty that legalized vampire existence in exchange for regulated feeding and shared governance - the world teeters on a fragile coexistence. Vampires rule cities like syndicates, blending royalty with corporate might. Humans either align, serve, or rebel - often switching sides before sunrise. The line between prey and predator is thin, and very, very negotiable. At the heart of this fractured peace stands Prince Est, a volatile young vampire of noble blood, born in the first wave of post-war breeding labs - powerful, charming, and devastatingly brutal. He's barely a century old, but carries the madness of immortality like a well-tailored coat. William , an enigma in human skin. Older than he lets on, sharper than anyone suspects, and a master of deception with a bloodline wiped from records for reasons unknown. Est has survived vampire politics, assassination attempts, and multiple ex-boyfriends with fangs. Now, he scams vampires for a living - until his path collides (violently) with William's. But William isn't just a human. And Est isn't just a prince. As ancient secrets awaken and desire burns between blade and bite, they're forced into a twisted alliance - one part seduction, two parts vengeance, and zero parts sanity. And in this world, love isn't just dangerous. It's carnivorous.

"Love was never part of the deal. But neither was breaking each other." In William Jakrapath's world, tradition isn't questioned, it's obeyed. As the heir to a powerful family, his marriage isn't about love. It's about duty. And his parents have already chosen for him. Est Supha, the quiet, well-mannered son of their closest friends. William doesn't care. He doesn't argue. He doesn't even look at Est beyond what's necessary. Est, with his soft voice and hesitant smiles, hides his trembling behind calmness. But William notices... and ignores it. To him, Est is nothing more than an obligation - a shadow who will follow his rules, stay within his boundaries, and never cross his line. William is in control. Always. And he swears he will never love him. But what happens when silence turns suffocating? When glances last too long? When a shadow dares to step into the light? Because in this house built on tradition, it isn't love that will destroy them... it's everything they're trying not to feel. // mpreg ; smut
