ExtinguishedLight

When Lucien McNamara’s father remarries, he meets his new stepbrother Blaise Laurent. Blaise, the black sheep of his family, is promiscuous, conceited, and callous - but also magnetic, charismatic, and seductive. Lucien is immediately entranced by him. Blaise, after having a falling out with his uncle Raphael (an object of brooding and obsession for Blaise, and the only person who seems to actually get under his skin), must return to his family’s home to live. However, none of his family seems to want him there - especially his mother. Lucien takes pity and attempts to befriend and fix Blaise, but Blaise keeps trying to seduce Lucien. Lucien resists, knowing Blaise doesn’t love him, but continues to try to help him, and he finds himself more and more entangled with this enigmatic but frustrating being. Then Lucien makes a shocking discovery - Blaise is a vampire! Not only that, but he was turned by his own Uncle Raphael, an evil man with whom he has a very twisted relationship. Uncle Raphael wants Blaise to join the Vampire Nobility, but Blaise actually regrets being turned into a vampire. Lucien begins to see the cracks in Blaise’s callous exterior as slowly he begins to let Lucien into his heart. Can Lucien help Blaise find his way out of this dark world, or will he be dragged down with him?

My Stepbrother, the Vampire (BL)

Lucien's gaze fixed on Raphael, allowing his eyes to wander over every aspect of the man's appearance. Raphael was extremely thin, and his pale complexion made him look almost like a walking corpse. When he smiled, he noticed odd copper jewelry on his fangs, drawing attention to them as if he were proud to be a vampire. His eyes were violet like Blaise's, and they bore into Blaise, who couldn't contain his eagerness to reach out and greet him.


"Raphael! I had no idea you were coming!" Blaise cried, smiling.


As Blaise made a sudden move to run towards Raphael, Troy and Lucien's father swiftly intervened, their hands reaching out to grab and restrain him. Blaise struggled against their grip.


Marie's voice pierced through the tense atmosphere. "Raphael, you are not permitted to set foot in this house! Leave immediately!"
