Chapter 3

Penulis: Levinne
Elena’s POV

When I went back home, I wrapped my arms tightly around my parents.

In my previous life, when I ignored their advice and insisted on staying by Kael’s side, my family had already been hurt by my choices.

They still supported me from behind, yet I could feel the distance and awkwardness in our conversations.

I was the one who betrayed their kindness.

I chose to stay with a vampire regarded as a disgrace.

In the end, I even caused their tragic deaths.

They spoke in hurried concern,“Elena, what is it, did something happen?”

I shook my head.

“It’s nothing. I just missed you……so much.”

My mother brought a towel and gently dried my hair.

My father sat nearby, repeatedly asking if I had encountered anything upsetting.

My parents had always doted on me.

They had always supported every decision I made unconditionally.

In my previous life, I had distanced myself from such a lovely family for Kael.

After a moment of thought, I decided to tell them the truth.

Kael had chosen to cancel the engagement, and I did not oppose it.

They fell silent for a brief moment.

“Elena, it’s good that you were able to think it through on your own. Kael and that human have already become the laughingstock of everyone.”

My mother held my hand.

“This is my daughter. No matter what decision you make, you will always be my only heir.”

“Breaking off the engagement is fine. Kael is already seen as a disgrace among vampires. Even if he had not brought it up, we would have.”

I smiled and teased my father.

“If Kael and I don’t marry, what about the cooperation between our families?”

To my surprise, my father looked at me seriously.

“My daughter is exceptional. You don’t need to rely on cooperation with anyone.”

Hearing the certainty and pride in his voice, my eyes grew moist.

I took a quiet breath and pressed the surge of emotion down.

“Then,” my voice was clear and steady, carrying the strength of renewal, “let me begin by making decisions that truly benefit our family.”

In just three months, I would be fully prepared to leave the sphere of Kael’s family power.

After that,

I would have nothing to do with Kael ever again.

    Elena’s POVThe wedding was held on a private island blessed with breathtaking scenery.We invited only our closest family members, along with a few elder vampires who had once looked after us in the north.That night, the sea was calm and the moonlight clear.I wore a silver white gown with clean, precise lines, my hair swept back in a simple updo.Riven stood before me, his gaze steady and intent.“I, Riven, choose to share my eternity with Elena.”“I, Elena, choose to share my eternity with Riven.”Before our witnesses, we affirmed our choice of one another.Just as we finished exchanging our vows and he leaned in toward me, a sudden disturbance rippled from beyond the island’s perimeter.A hoarse, unrestrained voice cut through the night.“Elena, how could you choose someone else?”The crowd fell briefly silent.I saw the figure held back beyond the barrier by the guards.Kael.He was almost unrecognizable.The once proud and upright heir was now gaunt, his clothes disheveled, his

She still loved me. I knew that.She could never possibly let go of everything so quickly.But when she stood in front of me, calm and unfamiliar, I lost control anyway.She was different from before. More composed, more restrained, dressed not in a gown but in practical hunting clothes. That unfamiliarity unsettled me, even frightened me.The sharp words slipped out before I could stop them. I mocked her for running away, desperate to catch even a trace of attachment in her eyes.There was nothing.I forgot why I had come. I had meant to apologize, to beg for her forgiveness, to ask her to return to my side.Elena could not have missed how undone I was. The news of my lost inheritance must have reached the north long ago.The Elena I once knew would have held me gently, comforted me, helped me re

    Elena’s POVThe northern wind carried the scent of ore dust and ice, scattering the damp heaviness of the southern lands after rain that lingered in my memory.In the six months I spent here, the numbers on the ledgers kept rising, and more new routes were opened under my direction.I shed ornate gowns and instead wore dark hunting attire suited for movement, passing freely between mines, warehouses, and negotiation tables.At first, the vampire nobles of the north regarded me with scrutiny and doubt.But it did not take long for them to realize that this young heir brought not only abundant capital, but also fairness and a pragmatic approach.My family’s influence took root in this land long dismissed as peripheral, and expanded steadily.From my father’s letters, I read relief and pride.From occasional news drifting up from the south, I learned that the Aurelian family had fallen into ongoing trouble after the collapse of several key trade lines.I thought I would never see Kael aga
