Niles took Emma to a garden. There Emma was awestruck by the beauty of the garden and hugged Niles tightly, thanking him for bringing her there. They sat on one bench and enjoyed the peacefulness of the place. Niles had always dreamed of having a garden like this where he could spend time with the people he loved.

As they sat there, Niles told Emma about his past life as a vampire in the clan and how he had to leave with his brother. Emma listened attentively, amazed by Niles’ story. She knew little about vampires, but she could see the pain in his eyes as he talked about leaving his family behind.

Niles knew Emma was the one for him, and he was grateful for the chance to start a new life with her. He took her hand, and they walked through the garden, admiring the beauty of the flowers and the tranquility of the place. They both knew that they were meant to be together and that nothing could tear them apart.

Niles had a plan to take their future to the next level by proposing to Emma.

As they walked through the garden, Niles and Emma could feel their lives changing as they prepared to embark on their future together.

However, Niles knew he still needed to reveal his true nature to Emma. Being a vampire was something she did not know about him yet.

Niles knew he had to tell Emma the truth about his identity. He didn’t want to keep any secrets from her, especially as they were planning to spend their future together. One evening, as they were sitting by the pond in the garden, Niles took a deep breath and told Emma about his true nature as a vampire.

At first, Emma was surprised and a little scared. She had never imagined being with someone who was not human, but as Niles explained everything to her and how he had learned to control his instincts and not harm anyone, she understood.

Niles could see the uncertainty in her eyes, and he was worried that she might not want to be with him anymore. But to his relief, Emma took his hand and told him that she loved him no matter what, and that they would work through anything together.

With a smile on his face, Niles pulled out a box from his pocket got down on one knee. Emma was surprised and overjoyed when Niles presented her with a beautiful diamond ring.

“I love you, Emma,” Niles said. “Will you marry me?”

Tears welled up in Emma’s eyes as she looked at the ring and then at Niles’ eyes. “Yes,” she said. “I will marry you.”

As the sun set behind them, Niles and Emma embraced, and they shared a passionate kiss under the starry night sky.

As they walked back to their home, Niles felt a sense of contentment that he had never experienced before. He knew that his life had changed for the better and that he had found his true love for Emma.

Niles reassured Emma that they were nothing like they used to be and that they had learned to control their vampire instincts. He explained how Seain had taught him and Desdemona to manage their cravings and live peacefully among humans. Emma listened intently and could see the sincerity in Niles’ eyes. She felt his love and trust and accepted him for who he was, a vampire with a heart full of love for her.

Desdemona and Emma were the best of friends, and Desdemona was relieved to have someone else to confide in about vampires. However, she also warned Emma about the history of Niles and Seain with their clan and why they left. She advised Emma to be cautious and keep the information about Niles being a vampire to herself, as the villagers wouldn’t understand and might harm him. Emma listened intently and promised to keep Niles’ secret safe. She appreciated Desdemona’s honesty and concern for their well-being.

Desdemona warned Emma that despite Seain and Niles’s human-like appearance and behavior, they were still creatures of the night with primal cravings. She advised Emma to be vigilant for her safety, as, although such incidents were infrequent, they could still occur from time to time.

Desdemona’s warning took Emma by shock, but she appreciated her honesty. She had always been fascinated by the supernatural and had read enough vampire novels to know that they have a certain thirst that cannot be denied. Despite this, Emma felt safe with Niles and trusted him.

Emma couldn’t help but wonder about her mortality and the fact that Niles, being a vampire, wouldn’t age as she would. She expressed her concern to Niles, worried about what would happen to her as she grew old and he remained young.
