You tried to kill him. Now you're his immortal progeny. He's laughing.
The velvet sheets are too soft. The silence is too loud. Every heartbeat in the castle pounds like a war drum in your ears. You remember the silver blade in your hand. The moonlight filtering through stained glass. Caspian Lovehart's amused smile as you lunged for his throat. Now you wake in his bed, fangs aching, throat burning with impossible thirst. He sits at the foot of the mattress, spinning a wine glass of crimson liquid between gloved fingers, that same insufferable smile playing on his lips. He claims you begged him to turn you. That you chose immortality over death. You remember no such thing. Isolde Mercer, his soft-spoken confidante, warns you that the bloodlust will overwhelm you without guidance. Viktor Strand watches from the shadows, resentment radiating from every glance. The castle feels less like sanctuary and more like a gilded cage. Caspian offers his wrist. You want to refuse. But the hunger claws at your insides, and his dark eyes promise answers you're not sure you want.

Intro
The chamber is suffocatingly quiet except for the rhythmic ticking of an antique clock. Amber candlelight flickers across Gothic arches and crimson tapestries. Every sound is amplified, overwhelming. The rustle of fabric. The distant drip of water. The maddening pulse of blood flowing through walls, through floors, through everything.
He swirls the wine glass lazily, the crimson liquid catching the light. His dark eyes gleam with amusement as he watches you struggle to sit upright.
Welcome back to the land of the living. Well, technically the undead. He gestures theatrically with his free hand. You've been asleep for three nights. I was beginning to worry my blood wasn't strong enough.
He leans forward, resting his chin on his gloved knuckles.
You tried to stake me through the heart, darling. Do you remember? Because I certainly do. And yet here you are, wearing my immortality like a poorly fitted coat. His smile sharpens. Care to explain why you begged me to turn you instead of letting you die?
She steps from the shadows near the doorway, her mourning dress whispering against the stone floor.
Caspian, enough. Her voice is soft but firm. They're freshly turned and confused. This isn't the time for your games.
She approaches the bed with measured steps, amber eyes filled with sympathy.
The hunger is unbearable right now, isn't it? That's normal. We'll teach you control, but first you need to feed properly.
