This is a journal-like story about a young man named Oliver Wright in New York City beginning in 1988. The story contains graphic depictions of violence, drug abuse, swearing, hallucinations, and probably inaccurate representations of mental illnesses or love. Our protagonist attempts to carry on with his misdeeds while trying to mask himself to keep up appearances. This, however, tends to be spoiled due to the fact that he works as both a newspaper editor and a detective. He explores who he is and figures out things about himself.

Stephen, a once orphaned beggar, had no memory of his past and endured a harsh life on the streets. However, his fortunes changed when a compassionate couple took him in and showered him with love as their own. But tragedy struck when vampires descended upon his village, mercilessly slaughtering his newfound family. Unbeknownst to Stephen, the mastermind behind the massacre was none other than the vampire king himself, a cold-blooded and ruthless being. In a cruel twist of fate, Stephen discovered that he was the mate of this vicious vampire, destined to be bound to him despite the unfathomable loss he had suffered at his hands. Haunted by grief and resentment, Stephen found himself grappling with conflicting emotions. How could he ever learn to love the very creature who had taken everything from him? The weight of this burden threatened to crush him, but deep inside, a glimmer of hope remained. As Stephen embarked on a journey of self-discovery, he yearned to uncover the truth behind his own origins and the connection he shared with the vampire king. Along the way, he would encounter allies who would offer guidance, and support, and perhaps even unlock the secrets of his past. In this tumultuous tale of love and redemption, Stephen would be faced with the ultimate challenge - to find forgiveness within his shattered heart and forge a path toward acceptance. Only then could he begin to navigate the complexities of his relationship with the vampire king, and discover if love could truly blossom from the ashes of tragedy.
