CLAN

Morgan never imagined that a single, accidental collision in a campus hallway would alter the course of her destiny.
Rafael never imagined either that after centuries of existence as a vampire-a creature sustained by blood, power, and darkness-he would come to a halt because of a girl whose heartbeat he could not hear.
She was supposed to be prey.
She was supposed to be a target.
But Morgan was no ordinary human.
Behind her innocent smile and a courage far too reckless for someone so fragile, she carried something the vampire world had never possessed: empathy. And when a forbidden ritual was performed to shatter the cruel clan system, the world shifted.
War erupted.
Blood was spilled.
Clans fell in a single night.
The vampire order collapsed.
For the first time, monsters began to feel.
But every transformation demands a price.
Rafael could annihilate an entire clan before dawn.
He could survive any wound.
He could exist beyond the limits of time.
But he could not stop Morgan's time.
The ritual that saved their world brutally shortened her life instead. White strands appeared in her hair far too soon. Each year, her breaths grew a little shorter. And Rafael could only watch-because he was eternal, unchanged, untouched by age.
For the first time in centuries, he was truly afraid.
Afraid of loss.
Afraid of silence.
Afraid of a heartbeat that would one day cease.
This is not the story of a vampire who finds love.
It is the story of a monster who learns how to be human.
Of choosing-again and again-even when he knows that in the end, he will be the one left behind.
