Startled, Sakura hesitated. No human had ever acknowledged her presence before. She had always been a shadow, a whisper in the night.
Sakura was perplexed. How could he possibly understand her nature? And yet, there was no fear in his voice, no panic. Just a calm acceptance.
Over the next few nights, Sakura found herself visiting Kaito more frequently. They talked about everything and nothing, from the fleeting nature of dreams to the permanence of the night. Sakura discovered that Kaito was not just any man; he was an empath, capable of feeling the energies around him. He sensed her hunger, her need to feed, and yet, he offered her something different—a connection.
After the events of the first chapter, Sakura found herself both intrigued and troubled by her encounters with humans. As a succubus, her existence was one of eternal night, preying on the dreams of men to sustain her own life force. But there was something about her recent interactions that stirred a peculiar feeling within her—a blend of fascination and perhaps, something akin to longing.
But not all succubi approve of Sakura's newfound relationship. A powerful succubus, Arachne, learns of Sakura's interactions with Kaito and sees it as a threat to their kind's secrecy and way of life. Arachne confronts Sakura, warning her that her actions could lead to the downfall of their world.
The night air seemed to vibrate with anticipation as Sakura made her decision. She would protect Kaito, not just as a source of energy, but as a friend, a person who had seen beyond her nature and accepted her for who she was.
