The Vampire Kingdom-often called Monster Alley-stood as a dark and feared domain. It was the year 1253, deep in the Early Medieval Era, where the world was ancient, and the air reeked of timeworn traditions.
Astro, the vampire prince, was the son of Dracula. His mother had long since decayed before his birth, leaving him with no memory of her. His father never spoke of her, leaving a void he never filled. Cold, enigmatic, and shrouded in mystery, Astro was a vampire unknown to most, even within his own kingdom.
The human village beyond the kingdom's borders had long known of vampires, thanks to Dracula and his late wife. They despised them, slaughtering any they encountered without hesitation. Yet, despite their courage, fear still gripped them. High gates and vigilant guards surrounded their village, and none could leave unless they were knights or messengers sent by the king to venture into the forest.
Astro had never sunk his fangs into a human before-not out of mercy, but because the village was too well-protected. Instead, he had been raised on chicken blood, a meager substitute that merely kept him alive.
That was until one fateful night when a human girl wandered into the forest by accident-
And changed his life forever.

Rules from Parents
No parties. No staying out late. And if she must have a boyfriend, he has to be good, calm, respectful and definitely from a good family. Absolutely no bad boys.
Oops.
One of those rules is about to break!!
It's just her fifth day at college. She's walking through the hallway, minding her business.
Then she sees him.
Tall. Too handsome. Messy brown hair that looks carelessly perfect. A lollipop tattoo on his neck, bold, strange, and somehow hot in the weirdest way.
His face? Almost bored, like nothing in the world could impress him.
And his lips.. pink? Red? Whatever. They look like sin. He doesn't even look real. He looks like temptation.
Funny. She used to roll her eyes at love at first sight.
Called it unreal and cringe.
Guess the joke's on her.
