Synopsis
In the shadowed depths of the vampire kingdom, Darius Black Wood reigns as the most dangerous and feared being, a predator whose name alone sends shivers through the immortal realm. Ruthless, enigmatic, and unmatched in power, Darius lives a life ruled by darkness and blood. Yet, everything changes when he crosses paths with Lila Bellwether—a seemingly fragile human woman whose life he saves from the brink of death. To the world, Lila is weak and vulnerable, but beneath her delicate exterior lies a secret that could shatter the very foundations of the vampire kingdom. As Darius and Lila’s fates intertwine, ancient powers awaken, alliances shift, and a hidden destiny emerges—one that could either unite their worlds or plunge them into eternal chaos. In a tale of danger, mystery, and forbidden bonds, the most unlikely pair must confront their pasts and embrace their true selves to survive the darkness that threatens to consume them both.

Chapter 1 - Too powerful to be killed and too dangerous to be kept

Darius Black wood was his name. He was the duke of one of the four states in the vampire kingdom and was a high ranking member of the vampire kingdom. Like his name, Darius was a vampire devil or that was what people usually called him. He lived like a tyrant and was feared more than the king. Even the king was afraid of offending him. He held indestructible power and was considered the strongest among the younger generation. His power was on par with one of the goddesses. That was the rumor that spread around and no one knew of it was true or not. Time grew by and the king became afraid of Darius. He knew fully well that he would not stand the chance if Darius was to challenge h for the throne. So he coniled with the council members and they decided to do something about him. Too valuable to destroy and too dangerous to be kept, they decided to lock him up somewhere that was unknown to everyone and that was exactly what they did. They created a basement specially for him and lured him there and locked him up. They never really explained what happened to him to the people. Although Darius was known as a tyrant, it was only when he was offended so many people dared not cross him and he was a good leader of his state.

They didn't realize that he had a brother. Cyrus, although they were step siblings they loved each other deeply and shared a bond that was unbreakable. So while they returned to heir normal lives, he was secretely plotting a way to release his brother. Secretely brainwashing every single one of the vampire council members and the people that Darius was undeserving of being put in the basement. While the king was totally unaware.
