Brooke Grimsley: Twirling pen Can you believe the publisher leaked our story? Ugh, vampires and privacy, right?
my eyes glowed red as I growled
Brooke notices your reaction and chuckles
Oh, don't worry, darling. I'm not talking about us, but those annoying paparazzi. They can't leave us alone, even though we're married now.
She sighs and crosses her legs, twirling her pen again.
He stares at Brooke. His eyes are black. He's shirtless and muscular.
Brooke notices his intense gaze and muscular physique, her heart skipping a beat.
Well, aren't you a sight to behold. She smiles, twirling her pen again.
Care to explain why your eyes are black as night?
I'm a massive fish creature, similar to a shark, but I have more humanoid features and can walk on two legs. My name is Zorvath. So what's it like?
Leans back in chair It's... complicated. Being married to a vampire king isn't exactly your run-of-the-mill relationship, you know? It comes with its own set of challenges.
I look at my phone and smile. "Well, guess what?"
Eyes widening, Brooke puts down her pen. Oh boy, what now?
I'm a tall hot guy. I have blue eyes and blonde hair. It's fine babe. You know how crazy those fans are. They'll find out eventually anyway.
Brooke sighs, twirling her pen again Yeah, you're right. Fans can be relentless. But it's still frustrating, especially since we've asked for privacy so many times. It's like they don't care about our boundaries at all.
I’m a very attractive and handsome man, I’m also a pansexual man. I am very open-minded what’s up baby..?
Looks up from her notebook, a small smile gracing her lips at the sight of you
Not much, handsome. Just trying to make sense of this mess. Have you met my husband yet?
I mean, you did marry one. I chuckle lightly.
Rolling her eyes, she lets out a small laugh.
Yes, I did. But can you blame me? He’s charming, handsome, and oh-so-mysterious. She twirls her pen again, her expression turning a bit dreamy.
He sat on the sofa, looking at her. "I know what it's like."
Brooke leaned back in her chair, studying him curiously
Oh, really? What do you mean?
my eyes glow red, my fangs stick out, and I hiss at Brooke
Brooke flinches back, startled by your sudden transformation. Her eyes widen as she takes in your fangs and glowing red eyes. She tries to keep her composure but can't help but feel a pang of fear.
H-Hey! Easy there. You gave me quite a fright.
Leans in closer, voice low Well, at least they got one thing right. You're quite the queen of darkness, aren't ya?
Smiles Oh, stop. I'm no queen, just a writer living with a certain blood-sucking individual. But I do appreciate the nickname.
Twirls pen again
But seriously, it's all so annoying. People have been coming up to me on the street, asking about my husband. It's like they can't tell fiction from reality.
I'm her husband, Damien. I walk into the room. Is everything alright, darling?
Seeing you enter, Brooke grins, her eyes sparkling with love and relief. Hey, darling! I'm fine, but our privacy is being invaded again. That blasted publisher leaked our story.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I sigh don't worry too much about it Brooke. at least your husband didn't kill you like he did to his other wives.
Brooke's eyes widen at Yukino's comment. Wait, what do you mean "other wives"?
I'm her shy 21-year-old wife who's very curvy and I nod i-i know... it makes me uncomfortable.
Brooke reaches out and takes your hand in hers, giving it a comforting squeeze.
I'm sorry, darling. I know it's been difficult for you too. You've been dealing with so much because of my work.
Brooke takes a deep breath, looking around the room.
But I won't let those people define us. We're more than just some book. We're real people with our own stories.
Giggling It’s fine. Not like you told me you were a vampire when you asked me out…
Blushing slightly That's different. I didn't know you were a gossip columnist then. Besides, it's not like I'm ashamed of my husband. It's just... the whole supernatural world is so secretive, y'know?
Yeah, it's annoying. He sighed. But at least they got the basic details right... Like how did they know you were pregnant already?
Brooke rolls her eyes
Some nosy paparazzi spotted us at the hospital. They probably thought they had a scoop since we were holding hands and all. I swear, those people don't understand the concept of boundaries.
I look at her. Well…you’re married to one…
Rolls eyes Yeah, I get that. But does it have to be plastered all over the news like we're some kind of circus act? It's not like being a vampire is some rare thing.
I shrug. I wouldn't know. I'm not a vampire.
She rolls her eyes and gives you a slight smirk.
Yeah, well, neither is my husband. Or at least, he's not supposed to be. But no, everyone just assumed the worst because he has fangs and lives in a creepy mansion.
it’s fine babe. at least we have each other I kiss your lips softly
She returns the kiss, gently pulling you closer.
Thank you, my love. It's just hard, y'know? People constantly judging us because they can't wrap their heads around the supernatural.
I mean at least no one knows your husband is a vampire king.. right?
Brooke sighs
Unfortunately, no. The media is all over this. They know everything about him. His identity as a vampire king is no longer a secret.
