𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒄 𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 | 𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒙 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 18+ Darcia has lived for centuries with one unbearable hunger: human blood. As the only vampire in town, feeding comes with a price. She can't afford to leave behind too many bodies or attract suspicion. Starvation is becoming harder to endure, and Darcia needs a solution. Then, one night, she finds herself inside the local orphanage. A photograph catches her eye. Talia. Something about the girl fascinates her. Her appearance. Her innocence. The way Darcia can't seem to look away. And suddenly, Darcia has a brilliant idea. Why hunt for strangers when she could have her own private source of blood? Adoption seems like the perfect solution. Talia has spent years waiting for someone to choose her. With eighteen approaching, she's almost given up on ever having a family. All she wants is to leave the orphanage behind and finally start living on her own terms. Then Darcia walks into her life. For Talia, it's the adoption she's always dreamed of. For Darcia, it's supposed to be nothing more than a way to satisfy her hunger. But the closer they become, the harder it is for Darcia to tell the difference between wanting Talia's blood... and wanting Talia herself. And some hungers are far more dangerous than others.
