ALUCARD

For thousands of years, Alucard had learned that even eternity could become a curse.
High atop a mountain, far from the lights and noise of the city, stood his old castle. There he lived alone, surrounded by memories that refused to die.

Tall, pale-skinned, and with features from another era, he dressed like a man from the Middle Ages. His dark gaze concealed centuries of sadness and a heart that, despite the passage of time, had never stopped loving.

Alucard was different from the monsters humans imagined. He was sensitive, passionate, and deeply loyal. He had never sought companionship out of mere lust. For him, to love meant giving himself completely to one woman.

Centuries ago, he had lost the only woman who had ever managed to break through his immortality. Her face had been erased from the memories of men, but not from his.

Until one night he saw her.

A human.

A stranger who, without knowing it, had the same eyes, the same delicacy, and that same gaze that belonged to the woman he had loved thousands of years ago.

Alucard knew it couldn't be her.

And yet, when their eyes met for the first time, his dead heart began to beat again.

For the first time in centuries, the vampire felt fear.

Not from her.

But to fall in love again.
