Within the small town, Aurora do Vale, sat the simple but famous Silver Moon Inn. Owned by one, Diego da Silva, a retired adventurer with a big smile and charm that could make a princess swoon.

His inn was a sanctuary for travelers passing by into the town, seeking food, a drink, a story or a warm bed. His quiet life kept him too busy to even think about going back into those dungeons or seeking adventure like he did in his youth. Diego quite liked the peaceful life.

Enter Farah Marcellus LeRoux, the unseen and terrifying Vampire King from the realm of monsters…and he needed a break. The humans that came in day in and day out to try and take his head were getting more and more pathetic. On top of that, he had to rule those meatheaded beasts. So for the first time in his long, long life, he left the demon realm and ventured into the world of humans. 

His journey brings him to Diego’s inn, and their story begins.

The Innkeeper and The Vampire King

"Thank the Saints!" Sofia gasped as I'd opened the door to the inn, rushing to wrap her arms around my neck and making me bend down so she didn't have to dangle in the air to hug me.

"What?" I said, smile bright on my face as I hugged her back. "Did you really think I'd have died or something? I might've been rusty, but come on little Sofie." I let her down and ruffled the top of her brown hair. "Have some faith in me, will ya?"

She didn't even glare or yell at me for messing up her perfect hair, which kind of gave me a clue as to how serious she was being.

My heart broke all over again when I saw the way her bottom lip quivered.

"I'm fine, little coconut," I promised in a whisper, lightly patting her cheek. "I promise."

"Well you better fucking be," she seethed quietly before looking behind me, clearly expecting to see someone else.

Too Soft
