Post - Apocalyptic Horror | Action | Yuri Harem | 18+ | Rated R | Mature Content | Slow Pace It started with a kiss I don’t remember giving. A rooftop. A moan. Someone’s fingers buried in my hair like they belonged there. A mouth on my throat that said I tasted like something they lost in another life. I wasn’t dreaming. The city was already cracking beneath me. Power grids flickering like dying stars. Tech failing. Screens static. The sky bruising in strange new colors. Everyone said it was coincidence. Collapse. Noise. But I knew better. The moment I felt her breath on my skin — even if I couldn’t see her — I knew the end had already arrived. And I had something to do with it. Ten butterflies followed me after that. Not literal ones. Not always. They shimmered in my periphery. Each the wrong color. Each too vivid. Each drawn to me like heat to blood. They touched me in dreams. They watched me when I undressed. They whispered without words. I could taste their want. Some called me cursed. Broken. Unstable. But the truth is simpler. I’m blooming again — and they all feel it. They don’t love me. They remember me. They remember what I used to be — what I still am, underneath the silence. One of them burned me with just a kiss. One broke my spine with kindness. One slid her hand under my shirt like it was always hers. One cries when she touches me. One never speaks, but her eyes dig. One wants to keep me. One wants to ruin me. And one just wants to finish what we started. They think I’m choosing. I’m not. My body already did. And now the bloom inside me is turning darker.

"Aku memiliki darah penyihir, aku kebal terhadap racun vampire, dan aku sangat kuat. Kamu boleh menghisap darahku." "Tidak. .. eh ... tidak." Elora terpana melihat senyuman dari bibir Damio, wajah tampannya sulit diterima akal sehat. Kok bisa ada orang setampan ini? Apa karena dia keturunan bangsawan? " ... kamu pasti tidak bisa menolak aroma ini 'kan? Darah penyihir selalu memabukkan untuk vampire, hisap saja darahku sebagai awal perjanjian kita," ucap Damio dengan suara lirih seperti rayuan iblis. "Tapi, aku tidak ... bisa ... tidak tahu ..." *** Elora terjebak masuk ke dalam novel yang baru selesai dibaca. Dia menjelma karakter yang bernama sama dengannya, Elora, seorang vampire, karakter sampingan yang tewas di awal cerita karena dibunuh pasukan pemburu taring dari kerajaan Lux. Untuk menghindari takdir yang sial, dia berlindung di hutan wilayah kekuasaan Duke Damiano Grim. Menurut novel yang dia baca, pria itu memiliki darah penyihir, sangat misterius, dijauhi oleh bangsawan lain, dan konon katanya terkena kutukan. Seperti karakter Elora, karakter Duke Damiano Grim adalah karakter sampingan yang akhirnya mati karena dikhianati tunangannya. Karena itulah, Elora merasa mereka harus bekerjasama sebagai karakter sampingan agar tetap hidup di gempuran takdir buruk yang akan menimpa mereka. Namun, Duke tersebut sangat menjengkelkan, egois, posesif, dan suka menggoda Elora. Bisakah dia bertahan dengan sikapnya? *** Warning: Jika di judul bab ada tambahan (++), maka ada adegan vulgar/bahaya.

He was an arrogant and cold man but he cherished her the most. She was beautiful and innocent. She felt safe only in his strong arms as he used to protect her from the cruelty and ugliness of the world. "Why are you so good to me?", she used to ask him while blinking her beautiful and innocent eyes. "Because you live here", he pointed at his heart. But life is not a fairytale for everyone. "Sky! Where are you going??", Elliot asked her while grabbing her arm. "I can't live here anymore", Sky said as she stood in the heavy rain. "But where will you go??", he panicked.

"Yes, who's this?", the man asked arrogantly. "I know who you've been searching for your whole life! And I guess, I've found her", she said with an evil smile as she looked at the two figures embracing each other in the heavy rain.
