เข้าสู่ระบบMy blood-bonded vampire mate left me while I was pregnant to be with his "first love" in the human world. When danger struck, he abandoned our son to protect her human child, who was not in any danger. While our son was struggling with lethal UV burns and calling for his father through a high fever, he was celebrating under citywide fireworks with that human boy, who only had a common cold. He even took the life-saving serum I had prepared for our son, just to use it for the boy’s "pre-transformation conditioning." He coldly stated, "Vampires are resilient; he’ll endure it. Human children are too fragile." After four years of raising our son alone, I finally decided to leave. I officially cut our blood ties and moved away with our son. Only then did he find out that his "first love" had been lying to him all along. After learning the truth, the arrogant vampire prince wept and begged for us to come back.
ดูเพิ่มเติมThe Covenant Council opened a formal review of Kaelan's conduct three weeks later.Abandonment of a blood-bonded fledgling during a critical awakening window. Misappropriation of a Dhampir's emergency stabilizing elixir. Prolonged dereliction of territorial governance — four years of records I'd kept showed every gap, every absent signature, every decision that should have been his and had been mine instead.He entered no defense.The Council stripped him of jurisdiction over one third of his territory and placed his remaining lands under a two-year oversight committee. His authority over the elite young bloods compound was dissolved permanently.In three centuries of rule, it had never happened before.He accepted every ruling without appeal.He still came to the border.Not every night. But often enough that Aurora's guards stopped treating it as a threat.He would stand at the outer perimeter for an hour, sometimes two. Never crossing. Never sending word ahead.Then he would leave b
Aurora's border guards stopped him at the outer perimeter.Four of them, armed with concentrated UV emitters — the kind used against vampires who don't respond to verbal warnings."Turn around," the senior guard said. "Standing orders. No exceptions, regardless of rank.""I know," Kaelan said. "I'm not here to fight."He kept walking.The first UV blast hit his left arm and burned deep. He didn't stop. By the time he reached the inner border he had burns across both arms and along his jaw.He went down on one knee outside the healing wing.He was still there when I came out.I looked at him for a long moment. His burned arms. His ruined coat. Three centuries of pride on its knees on someone else's stone floor."I know the truth," he said. "All of it. Vivienne set that night up. She paid someone to dose my drink and make sure you were there. She'd known about the bond for years and she used it." His voice wasn't steady. "You saved my life that night. You recognized what had been done to
It took him three days to pull the records together.Every entry log from the night of the gathering. Every purchase record from the weeks before. Every movement, every communication, every transaction that could be traced.Three days. Every thread led back to the same place.Vivienne.She'd been there that night. She'd had access to his drink. She'd been tracking the fated bond for years — knew exactly what it was, knew what would happen if his defenses came down at the right moment.She hadn't been trying to bring them together. She'd wanted him to wake up believing I'd engineered the whole thing.She'd known his pride would do the rest.And it had.For four years, his pride had run exactly the way she'd designed it to.She hadn't counted on me staying.She hadn't counted on Luka.When that stopped being enough, she came back in person.He confronted her the night he finished putting it together.The evidence laid out on the table between them. Purchase records. Entry logs. A stateme
Meanwhile, Kaelan had just watched the last firework fade from the sky.Vivienne had worn herself out and was sleeping on the settee, Damian curled beside her.Something felt off in his chest.Not the muffled quiet of a blocked connection. Something different. Something permanent.He sat with it for a moment, not moving.Then he thought about the call.My voice, from hours ago: Luka is surging. He needs the elixir. Please.He'd told me to figure it out. He'd told himself I was exaggerating, that I was using Luka to pull him back, that I always landed on my feet and this time would be no different. He'd hung up and gone back to the fireworks.He picked up his phone.Called my number.The line was dead.He reached through the blood bond.Void.Not a block. Not distance. A permanent, irrevocable severance — the kind that only happened one way.He was on his feet before the thought finished forming.He reached Luka's room before dawn.The bed was made. Perfectly, carefully made. The traini
