Precious "Roses and blood" (Tagalog) (BL)
I'm Zephyr.
And for centuries, I've wandered the Earth, haunted by the memory of Nieves, the mortal woman who stole my heart. Our love was forbidden, and fate tore us apart, leaving me with a wound that refused to heal.
Then, the Moon Goddess Selene, in her infinite wisdom, gave me hope. She revealed that Nieves had been reborn, twenty years ago. On the next full moon, the reincarnation of Nieves would release a strong scent of roses, guiding me to her.
My heart, a withered husk for so long, flickered with renewed hope. I had to find her. But the prophecy also warned of danger. The alluring scent of roses would attract other vampires, both those who sought to protect Nieves and those who sought to exploit her. I had to race against time to reach her before it was too late.
Then the night has come...
The full moon was upon me. The scent of roses, strong and intoxicating, filled the air. I followed it, my heart pounding in my chest, my senses heightened...
And there...
I found her.
Or rather, I found him.
A man. A man with the same eyes, the same mischievous glint in his gaze that had captivated me centuries ago. But he's a man. My Nieves, my beloved, is a man.
"You're a guy!" I whispered, my voice hoarse with disbelief.
He looked at me, his eyes wide with surprise. "Of course I am!" he said, his voice laced with amusement.
My world shattered. My heart, which had just begun to heal, was ripped open again. The scent of roses, once a beacon of hope, now felt like a cruel joke. How could this be? How could my Nieves, my love, be reborn as a man?
Can I love him? Can I love a man who's the reincarnation of my beloved? Or will my love, my centuries-old yearning, be consumed by this doubt?
