Just a gay, vampire, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance. TW for death, cursing, kidnapping, and content of the sexual variety. And religious trauma. Basically this is mature and 18+. ♱ Desc. ♰ Victor Salouese is son to town's priest, Marcus Solouese. His father's and mother's main occupations were to hunt vampires and exorcize evil spirits, until Victors mother mysteriously passed when he was only 7. 13 years later, he now helps his father around the church and lives a fairly peaceful life, besides his lingering trauma and his daily night terrors.

Find out what happened to Victor and what will become of him in my novel, Philophobia. ♱ Original story created by (me) Salem M. and edited by my good friend Crow.
