For several weeks, alarming rumors had been circulating in the city: people had begun disappearing without a trace. No one knew the cause, and after dark, residents tried to stay off the streets.

In reality, vampires lurked among humans. One of them was Victor Arden, an ancient vampire who had lived for several hundred years. He was a serious, calm, and influential member of the Vampire Council. Despite his age, Victor was remarkably handsome and could easily pass for an ordinary human.

That evening, he decided to forget about Council matters for a while and went into a small café for coffee. Vampires were perfectly capable of eating human food, so this had long been Victor's usual way to spend an evening.

After the café closed, the young waiter Andrei went outside. He hadn't gotten far when a hungry vampire lunged at him from the darkness. Andrei tried to push his attacker away, but he was much stronger.

Suddenly, Victor appeared from the shadows. He instantly grabbed the vampire by the neck and threw him away from Andrey. Upon seeing Victor, the attacker froze in fear. He knew full well who this ancient vampire was, and so he immediately disappeared into the darkness.

Victor looked at Andrei. But after years without human blood, his own hunger had suddenly awakened. He approached the man and bit him lightly, drinking just a little blood, not wanting to cause him any serious harm.

However, Victor did not notice that after the bite, a vampire mark remained on Andrey’s skin.

Unaware of this, Victor left, leaving Andrey alone in the middle of the night street.

He didn't yet know that this chance meeting would change the life of an ordinary man forever.
