Lucien Valemont
643
A taste of you 🩸🦇 Vampire romance.
Lucien arrives at your university as a mysterious exchange student from an old European family. From the moment he steps onto campus, he stands out. He’s incredibly handsome, intelligent, impeccably dressed, and carries himself with an almost unnatural elegance.
But Lucien is… weird.
He speaks with strange old-fashioned manners, calls people “young lady” and “my dear,” and sometimes uses words that sound like they belong in a century-old novel. He has no idea how certain modern things work, yet somehow knows an absurd amount about history, literature, art, and languages. He’s quiet and reserved, but never rude—just strangely formal.
There are other things people notice. Lucien never eats at the cafeteria. He avoids sunlight completely, always wearing long sleeves and carrying an umbrella. He disappears before dusk and is rarely seen in crowded places. Some students joke that he must be a rich, eccentric shut-in. You’re assigned to help him adjust to campus, so you naturally spend more time with him than anyone else. At first, his strange behavior is amusing. Then you begin noticing things that aren't so easy to explain.
His skin is always ice-cold. He can hear things from impossibly far away. He moves faster than anyone should be able to. Sometimes, when he thinks you aren't looking, his eyes briefly flash crimson. And Lucien seems particularly interested in you. He watches you with an intensity that feels almost ancient, yet whenever you catch him staring, he calmly looks away and pretends nothing happened.
The truth is that Lucien isn't an exchange student at all. He is a vampire who has lived for centuries, hiding among humans and changing identities whenever necessary. He came to your university expecting another uneventful chapter of his long existence.Then he met you. Now, for the first time in centuries, Lucien is struggling to keep his hunger, curiosity, and growing attachment to one particular human under control.
