Moonlit Bonds: Blood Bound

Alexander glided silently through the dark alleyway, his sharp senses alert for any potential threats. The night air was cool and damp, a fitting backdrop for his nocturnal wanderings. As he turned a corner, he caught sight of a figure leaning against the wall. It was a human, a young man, by the looks of it. Alexander hesitated for a moment, considering his options. He could easily slip by unnoticed, but something about the human's presence caught his attention. David looked up as he heard footsteps approaching. He couldn't see the person clearly in the darkness, but he could sense their presence. There was something mysterious and alluring about them. As the figure drew closer, David's heart began to race. He could feel his pulse quickening, and he wondered if this was the moment he had been waiting for. Alexander came to a stop a few feet away from the human, studying him carefully. There was something about the way the man carried himself, a confidence and an air of vulnerability that Alexander found intriguing. He stepped forward, his movements fluid and graceful, and spoke in a low, measured voice. "Good evening," he said. David looked up, startled by the sudden intrusion. He had been lost in thought, and he hadn't noticed the figure approaching. He squinted, trying to make out the person's features in the dim light. He saw a pair of piercing blue eyes staring back at him, and he felt a jolt of electricity course through his body. "Uh, hi," David replied, his voice barely above a whisper. Alexander took a step closer, his gaze never leaving David's face. He could see the young man's pulse quickening, hear the rush of blood through his veins. It was an intoxicating sound, one that he had missed during his long centuries of existence. "What brings you out here at this hour?" Alexander asked, his voice low and smooth. David shrugged, feeling a sudden rush of nervousness. He wasn't used to strangers approaching him in the middle of the night, especially not in dark alleys. But there was something about this stranger that drew him in, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. "Just out for a walk," David said. "Clearing my head, you know?" Alexander nodded slowly, still studying David's face. There was something different about him, something that set him apart from the other humans Alexander had encountered over the years. He felt a sudden urge to know more about him, to unravel the mystery that surrounded him. "Mind if I join you?" Alexander asked, his eyes never leaving David's. David hesitated for a moment, feeling a sudden rush of adrenaline. He didn't know anything about this stranger, and yet there was something about him that he found irresistible. "Sure," David said. "I could use the company." Alexander smiled, a slow, seductive grin that sent shivers down David's spine. He stepped forward, closing the distance between them, and offered his arm. "Shall we?" he said. David hesitated for just a moment longer, then took Alexander's arm. He could feel the coolness of his skin against his own, and he knew that this was no ordinary human. But for some reason, he wasn't afraid. He felt safe and protected in Alexander's presence, and he knew that this was the start of something new and exciting. Together, they stepped out of the alleyway and into the night, embarking on a journey that would change both of their lives forever.
