Morning arrived quietly at Aurelion Elite University.
Sunlight crept across the ancient towers, warming the stone walls that had witnessed centuries of supernatural history.
But beneath the calm morning atmosphere…
A storm had already begun moving.
Far beyond the university.
Deep within the mountains of Eastern Europe stood a fortress older than most kingdoms.
The hidden seat of power for the Crimson Council.
Its walls were carved from black volcanic stone, and the air around it carried the scent of ancient blood and darker secrets.
Inside the council chamber, a massive circular table stood beneath a ceiling painted with the history of supernatural wars.
Seven powerful figures sat around it.
Ancient vampires.
The rulers behind countless hidden conflicts.
And today…
Their attention focused on a single name.
Selene Valkrith.
The messenger vampire knelt on the cold marble floor.
His voice still trembled.
"We confirmed it."
Silence filled the chamber.
One of the elders leaned forward slowly.
His long white hair fell across his pale face as crimson eyes glowed faintly.
"You saw her yourself?"
"Yes," the messenger whispered.
"And you are certain?"
The messenger swallowed.
"I have never felt power like that."
Another council member spoke.
"Describe her."
The messenger hesitated for a moment.
Then he said the one thing that made the entire room grow colder.
"She feels like royalty."
One of the ancient vampires slammed his fist onto the table.
"Impossible!"
The sound echoed through the chamber.
"The Valkrith Dynasty was exterminated."
Another council member spoke calmly.
"Clearly not."
A heavy silence followed.
Because every single one of them remembered the night ten years ago.
The night they united to destroy the dynasty that had ruled them for centuries.
The night the Valkrith Castle burned.
And yet…
Somehow…
The heir had survived.
The eldest vampire finally stood.
His name was Lord Malveris.
One of the oldest beings in the supernatural world.
His cold eyes looked across the council.
"If Selene Valkrith lives…"
His voice carried centuries of authority.
"Then everything we built after the war is threatened."
Another council member nodded.
"The wolves will rally behind her."
"The witches may restore their old alliances."
"And the vampire houses that once served Valkrith may rebel."
Malveris' crimson eyes darkened.
"We cannot allow that."
He turned toward the messenger.
"Where is she?"
The messenger answered immediately.
"Aurelion Elite University."
Murmurs spread through the chamber.
One council member sighed.
"Of course."
Another shook his head.
"The university is neutral territory."
Malveris smiled coldly.
"Neutrality ends when dynasties rise."
He turned toward the chamber doors.
"Release the hunters."
Heavy iron doors opened slowly.
Footsteps echoed through the dark corridor.
Five figures entered the chamber.
Each one cloaked in black armor.
Each one radiating terrifying power.
The council's most feared weapons.
The Blood Hunters.
Elite assassins trained specifically to destroy supernatural royalty.
Malveris stepped forward.
His voice was calm but deadly.
"You have a target."
One of the hunters removed his helmet.
His face was scarred.
Cold.
Emotionless.
"Name."
Malveris answered.
"Selene Valkrith."
For the first time…
Even the Blood Hunters looked surprised.
"The Valkrith heir?" one asked quietly.
Malveris nodded once.
"She survived the purge."
A dangerous smile spread across the hunter's face.
"Then this will be interesting."
Back at Aurelion Elite University.
Students filled the campus again.
But the rumors had only grown overnight.
Selene Valkrith.
The mysterious silver-eyed girl.
The student who fought the Alpha heir.
The possible survivor of a destroyed dynasty.
Every hallway whispered her name.
Inside the university cafeteria.
Raven dropped her tray on the table beside Selene.
"You've officially become campus gossip."
Selene calmly sipped her tea.
"I noticed."
Raven leaned closer.
"Half the vampire nobles think you're lying."
Selene nodded slightly.
"Understandable."
"And the other half think you're actually the Valkrith heir."
Selene glanced at her.
"And what do you think?"
Raven grinned.
"Oh I definitely think you're hiding something."
She stabbed a piece of meat with her fork.
"But honestly?"
She shrugged.
"I don't care."
Selene raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
Raven's golden eyes sparkled with amusement.
"Because mysterious people make life more fun."
At that moment…
The cafeteria doors opened.
And the entire room suddenly grew quiet.
Kael Draven walked inside.
His crimson eyes scanned the room.
And immediately landed on Selene.
Raven groaned.
"Oh look."
"The angry wolf is back."
Selene continued drinking her tea.
Kael walked directly toward their table.
Students watched nervously.
Because the two most talked-about students in the university were about to collide again.
Kael stopped beside their table.
His gaze remained locked on Selene.
"You made a mistake."
Selene looked up calmly.
"What mistake?"
Kael crossed his arms.
"You let those vampires live last night."
Raven nearly choked on her drink.
"Wait."
She looked between them.
"How do you know about that?"
Kael ignored her.
His voice remained low.
"You sent a message."
Selene tilted her head slightly.
"Maybe."
Kael's wolf instincts were restless again.
"You just told the entire Crimson Council that you're alive."
Selene calmly placed her cup down.
"Yes."
Kael stared at her.
"You realize what that means?"
Selene answered without hesitation.
"They'll come."
Kael nodded slowly.
"Not just vampires."
His voice darkened.
"Real hunters."
Selene's silver eyes remained steady.
"Good."
Silence filled the cafeteria.
Raven blinked.
"Good?"
Selene stood up slowly.
Her gaze met Kael's.
"I've been waiting ten years."
Her voice was calm.
Cold.
Patient.
"For them to come find me."
Kael stared at her in disbelief.
"You're insane."
Selene picked up her bag.
"Maybe."
Then she walked past him.
But just before leaving the cafeteria…
She spoke one more sentence.
"If they want war…"
Her silver eyes gleamed faintly.
"They should have prepared for it."
Far away…
Five Blood Hunters were already moving through the night.
Heading toward the university.
And every single one of them carried the same order.
Kill the last heir of the Valkrith Dynasty.
But when the legendary Blood Hunters finally arrive at Aurelion Elite University, will they discover that the girl they were sent to kill is no longer a helpless heir—but the beginning of a new supernatural war?
