PROMPT#11. Vampires are bound by an ancient destiny: their soulmate is always human, and this bond is governed by three rules. The smell of their soulmate's blood is irresistible, its taste sweeter than anything else, and if the love is unrequited, it can be fatal. Fearing this inevitable bond, most vampires try to avoid it. But what happens when one of them discovers that their soulmate is a human who not only rejects them but loathes them? * * * * Maximilian Kreutz passed through Kirovka to take a shorter route to his destination. But unexpectedly, he saw Tatiana Dmitrievna Vasilieva, at that moment, it was not her beauty that struck him. There was something more dangerous, more violent to his senses, the subtle, tantalizing smell that seemed to cling to. The air seemed humming around the girl, and being a vampire, it was a trap he couldn't avoid. His fangs moved spontaneously, his body reacting before his mind could even keep up. The sweet, metallic smell of its blood seemed like an irresistible call, pulling him closer like a storm he couldn't stop. He tried to pull away, steeling himself, but that scent kept enveloping his senses, like a forbidden temptation he couldn't escape. He seemed to be going crazy with hunger and the intense desire to taste the girl's blood. He followed it out of his own accord, as if it were a shadow that could not be avoided. When the sky darkened, under the silence of the night, he secretly entered her room. He knows about the rules of his clan, but he can't control himself to taste her even if he dies. In One step-one moment-and he was about to see the blood that captured him. But at that very moment, Tatiana suddenly opened her eyes and with a skillful move she pulled out a knife from under the pillow to kill him, he was lucky because it did not hit his neck, but he was hit in the chest. At that time, he found out that the woman he wanted to taste blood was a Vampire Hunter. -L♠️
