Coming to terms with his newfound existence, Alex is drawn to a supernatural world and a millennia-long conflict between good and evil. Alex is believed to be TheChosenOne having powers beyond that of a normal vampire and he is fated to bring an end to vampirekind. He will face many obstacles and will be assisted by a colorful cast of allies of different backgrounds to achieve his goal.

Scarlet reveals that her family is descended from a French noblewoman who was savaged raped by a werewolf and became pregnant with his children children. The hunter who saved her by killing the werewolf ended up marrying her and raised the children to hunt monsters and placed protective seals to prevent them from turning into werewolves.
