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 sat in his nearly dark room, a sense of unease settling upon him. He stared at the blank paper before him, the weight of Aunt Sonia's letter still lingering in his thoughts. Writing a response felt like accepting defeat, admitting that he couldn't go to her house as planned. He couldn't bring himself to face that reality just yet.


With a sigh, Lucien set the letter aside and turned his attention to the stack of books about vampires resting on his desk. Their worn spines and dog-eared pages were a testament to the countless hours he had spent immersed in their words. It had become his obsession, his desperate attempt to find a solution, a way to break the curse that bound Blaise. If he could ever find him, of course.
