Chapter 1

Elena’s POV

When I descended into this world as a pure blood vampire, I already knew that Kael would be my mate.

My father told me that Kael’s father was his longtime friend, the alliance between our families would bring immeasurable wealth.

My mother told me that the moment Kael was born, he foresaw that I was his destined wife.

My parents believed I would be as happy as they were.

Sharing immortality.

Sharing love.

So I always regarded Kael as my future husband.

I gave him all my devotion and care.

Until that day.

He appeared before me with a human blood servant.

His eyes were cold.

There was no trace of the love he once had for me.

“Elena, I am canceling the engagement.

The one I have always loved is Sylvia.”

Sylvia.

A low ranked blood servant he had mentioned to me before.

She had entered vampire territory because of poverty and hunger.

She begged Kael to turn her into a blood servant.

I wanted to persuade Kael to send her back to the human settlements.

But Kael seemed moved by her fragility and stubbornness.

In the vampire world, low ranked blood servants are living blood supplies.

They face the risk of death at any moment.

So Kael kept her by his side for protection.

He even refused to see me for three months, only because I said I wanted to send the human away.

I thought Kael was only acting out of temporary sympathy.

I believed he would soon return her to a safe place.

But the next time we met, he asked to end our engagement.

“She is different from you.She needs my protection.I will turn Sylvia.Do not stand in my way.”

I could not believe it.

The gentle and composed Kael wanted to turn a human without the elders’ approval.

He denied our love and fell in love with a human instead.

I could not accept it.

So I told everything to our parents.

Later, the human woman was sent back to human territory by my family.

She was even given generous compensation.

But after that, Sylvia trespassed into vampire territory again.

This time, she was not so lucky.

She was drained of blood by several low level vampires.

When Kael learned of her death, he fell into a silence like death itself.

He stopped feeding on blood.

Several times, he tried to walk into the sunlight to die with her.

I still loved him.

So I abandoned everything.

I even defied my family and stood by his side.

Kael’s starvation and his defiance of his father had already become public knowledge.

He almost lost his right of inheritance.

It was I who stayed with him every day.

I used my family’s wealth to seek rare medicines to heal his body.

I cried and begged him to stay alive.

It was also I who argued with his father.

I promised I would bring Kael back to himself.

I begged his father not to expel him from the territory.

Months later, Kael finally spoke to me again.

The warmth and light returned to his eyes.

He gave me a weak smile.

“Elena, thank you.”

“You made me see your love.”

At that moment, I believed everything had finally returned to the right path.

I thought I had recovered our love.

Soon after, we got married.

I even gave birth to adorable vampire twins for him.

But gradually, my body began to fail.

I even showed signs of aging.

That day, as I lay in a sickbed, Kael entered the house holding a familiar woman’s hand.

Sylvia.

She was not dead.

When I saw her crimson eyes,

I smelled a familiar scent on her.

The scent of blood.

My blood.

“Elena, thank you. For exchanging your blood with mine. Your blood turned me into a vampire.”

Sylvia leaned against Kael’s chest, smiling sweetly.

I recalled all the years after our marriage.

Every time I lay down in my coffin to sleep, my body always felt unbearably heavy.

The cold disgust in Kael’s eyes confirmed my suspicion.

Before I could even break down, I saw a scene that shattered my heart.

My twins ran happily into Sylvia’s arms.

They clung to her and called her mother.

“My children…my children…”

Hearing my broken sobs,

Kael laughed softly.

“Your children were killed by me on the day they were born. These two are the children Sylvia and I conceived.”

He looked down at me from above, a vicious smile appeared on his face.

“Sylvia was successfully turned yesterday.You are no longer useful now. So why don’t you die now?”

He stared at me coldly.

And drove a cross into my throat.

At some point, I had already lost the speed and strength of a vampire.

I could only watch as everything before me blurred away.

“It was your disgusting love that ruined my life with Sylvia.”

He whispered to me.

“Do not be afraid.Your parents will soon join you.They will not escape either.”

After my death, he successfully inherited his family’s wealth and power.

He framed my family.

My entire clan was slaughtered.

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day he asked to break off our engagement.
