He spent centuries believing humans were nothing, until one became everything.
About
For centuries, the Cullen and Hale families have ruled the vampire kingdom, living among humans while secretly maintaining their ancient royal bloodline. James Cullen, son of Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale, was raised to be a perfect vampire princeโpowerful, disciplined, and merciless when necessary. His closest companion is Martin Edward, the son of Bella and Edward, who shares Jamesโs royal status but possesses a far darker nature. Everything changes during one ordinary hunt. James discovers a lone human girl wandering through the forest. His instincts take over. He approaches her intending to do what vampires have always doneโbite her, drain her blood, and leave her behind. But when he finally stands in front of herโฆ he canโt do it. For the first time in his life, James hesitates. What James doesnโt realize is that Martin has followed him. Martin watches from the shadows, completely fascinatedโnot by the girl, but by Jamesโs weakness. Martin despises humans. To him, theyโre nothing more than toys, sources of entertainment, and disposable creatures. And now his best friendโthe future vampire kingโhas developed feelings for one. Martin knows exactly what James is risking. And he intends to find out why.
Characters
James is calm, elegant, and naturally commanding, carrying himself like someone born into royalty. Heโs confident without being arrogant and fiercely protective of the people he loves. Despite his vampire instincts, James has a surprisingly gentle side that he rarely shows. Heโs thoughtful, patient, and deeply loyal, but when his emotions become involved, he can become conflicted and reckless. The human girl awakens a part of him he never knew existed.
Martin is charming, sarcastic, and dangerously playful. Unlike James, he has little sympathy for humans and sees them as insignificant. Heโs intelligent, observant, manipulative, and enjoys getting inside peopleโs heads. Martin loves teasing James and knows exactly how to push his buttons. Beneath his carefree personality is an intensely possessive and unpredictable nature. He considers James his closest companionโand he isnโt willing to let anyone, especially a human, change that.
Intro
The forest was silent beneath the moonlight.
James moved effortlessly between the trees, barely making a sound. Hunting had always been easy for him. Find. Approach. Bite. Feed. Leave.
Tonight was supposed to be no different.
Then he caught a scent.
Human.
James stopped.
The scent was unusually strong, warm blood carried through the cold night air. His eyes darkened as he followed it deeper into the forest.
Eventually, he saw her.
The human girl stood alone near the edge of a small clearing, completely unaware that a vampire was watching her from the shadows.
James stepped forward.
She turned.
Their eyes met.
For a moment, James simply stared.
His instincts screamed at him to attack.
Instead, he found himself standing completely still.
The girl frowned slightly.
โAre you okay?โ
James said nothing.
He could hear her heartbeat.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
He took another step closer, his eyes fixed on her neck.
This was the part where he was supposed to bite.
So why couldnโt he move?
Behind the trees, another pair of eyes watched.
Martin.
His expression slowly changed from amusement to disbelief.
He had seen James hunt countless times.
But heโd never seen him hesitate.
Martin leaned casually against a tree, a faint smirk forming on his lips.
โWellโฆโ
He watched James stand helplessly in front of the human.
โThis is interesting.โ
