Synopsis

Tragic Love

Plot Twists

Vampire

Winning Back the Wife

Countdown

Awakening

In Onyx City, the ancient Thorne clan lived by a ruthless blood-pact law. If the clan Lord granted a new fledgling his absolute protection, the reigning Consort had to yield her place. She was required to remove her bloodstone collar—the ultimate symbol of his patronage and power—and fasten it around the neck of the new ward herself, right in front of the entire clan. Mia was that fledgling. Today marked exactly one year since she had been taken under the wing of Lord Luca, the man I considered my mate. Every vampire in Onyx City was waiting for me to break down. After all, I had been his closest companion and deepest obsession for ten years. I was the dying stray he’d saved from a hunter’s silver blade. I had craved him like a drug. I used to wake up in the dead of night, begging for his bite, his blood. I only felt peace when his scent swallowed me whole. They all knew my sickening dependence on him. They had even placed bets, swearing I would never let go. Yet, as Mia tilted her pale, fragile neck at me, taunting me with her sickeningly sweet voice, I didn't shed a single tear. Without a moment's hesitation, I unclasped the heavy bloodstone collar and fastened it around her throat myself. Luca lounged on his dark velvet throne, swirling the blood wine in his goblet. His scarlet eyes gleamed with amusement. "Elara. You've finally learned how to please me." I lowered my eyes, my fingertips brushing my bare, cold collarbone. I said nothing. Luca didn't know the truth. My sealed memories had awakened a month ago. I wasn't some lowly stray who had been clinging to life on the streets. I was the lost princess of the Nightshades, the oldest and most formidable Original bloodline in the dark world. In three days, my brother would arrive to take me home. I would reclaim my true identity.

Chapter 1

The Thorne Castle banquet hall reeked of sweet blood and heavy musk.

Mia flaunted her new bloodstone collar to the clan elders. Fake gasps of admiration echoed around her. Instantly, countless mocking stares shot toward me from the corners.

Luca sat on his throne at the head of the table. His cold, careless gaze cut through the crowd. It landed right on the side of my face.

After soaking up all the flattery, Mia swayed over to me. She held a glass of crimson liquid.

Her eyes locked onto the flawless amethyst daylight ring on my finger.

A year ago, on our blood bond anniversary, Luca bought it for a fortune at a dark magic auction. Just to make me smile.

Mia giggled and leaned close to my ear. "Elara, you already gave up the collar. Don't you think it's pathetic to keep clinging to the Consort's things?"

She reached out to touch the ring. I smoothly stepped back.

The main event of the night was about to begin.

By tradition, I was supposed to present the nether-rose. I had spent six months growing it with my own lifeblood.

It sat on a black crystal stand in the center of the hall. A gift for Luca's Centennial Blood Moon Festival.

But Mia beat me to the stand. Her voice was soft and overly sweet as she announced, "Luca said I get to present the festival gift tonight."

Before I could react, she grabbed a vial of liquid silver. With a deliberate flick of her wrist, she splashed it over my black rose.

A harsh hiss filled the room. The luscious petals instantly melted into a foul-smelling black puddle.

The crystal vase slipped and shattered on the floor.

She immediately grabbed her wrist. Her eyes turned red. Tears spilled down her cheeks.

"Elara, I was just trying to help... If you didn't want me to touch it, you could have just said so. Why did your magic hurt me?"

The decadent classical music stopped dead.

Every vampire in the hall snapped their eyes to us.

In the past, Luca would have used dark magic to tear apart any woman who dared to provoke me.

I used to be so horribly insecure.

If another woman even looked at Luca, I would hide in his arms and cry. I'd cry until he threw her into the deepest, sun-starved dungeon of the castle.

But this time was different.

Luca turned into a blur of black mist. He materialized between us and shielded Mia behind him.

His eyes fell on a barely visible scratch on Mia's pale skin. His handsome face twisted into a frown.

"Enough, Elara." His tone was pure accusation. "Mia is just a fledgling. Her newborn senses are fragile. Did you really have to scare her with your dark magic just to get attention at my banquet?"

I looked at the face I had loved with everything I had. A sharp pain ripped through my chest.

I took a deep breath and forced back my tears.

I didn't defend myself. I didn't grab his cloak and beg like I used to.

I just looked up. I coldly pulled the amethyst daylight ring off my finger.

While everyone stared in shock, I handed it to Mia.

"If you wanted, take this. I'm sorry my gift hurt you."

Luca's massive frame stiffened.A flash of shock crossed his deep scarlet eyes. His frown deepened.Mia froze, completely forgetting to squeeze out more tears.I pulled out a silk handkerchief. I casually wiped away the silver burns on my fingertips and dropped to my knees.I kept my head down, blinking hard to stop the tears from falling.Without even casting a shield spell, I used my bare hands to pick up the sharp, silver-soaked glass. I tossed it into an obsidian waste bin.A shard sliced my palm. Beads of crimson blood rolled down, but I didn't even flinch.When I was done, I stood up and shot Luca a glance."I ruined my dress. I'm going to my room to clean up."I turned around, keeping my spine perfectly straight. I headed for the stairs down to the crypt.Luca's eyes burned into my back the entire way.I pushed open the heavy stone door of my tomb and magically locked it behind me.I slid down the door to the floor. Hiding in the dark, I finally let the silent tears stream down

But now, he casually told me to hand this priceless token over to another woman.My nails dug into my palms so hard I almost drew blood.I met Luca's cold, entitled gaze. Finally, I gave a slow nod."Fine. I'll send a thrall with it in the morning."Luca's eyes flickered. He gave me one last, deep look before turning away.His soft, soothing whispers drifted down the hall, followed by the heavy click of the master bedroom's stone door shutting.Numb, I turned to a stone sarcophagus. I pulled out an old parchment calendar.I took a quill dipped in dead-blood and drew a huge red 'X' over today's full moon.Two days left until my brother came for me.I stripped off my ruined dress and stepped into the scalding bath.The hot water washed over my exhausted body.Through the rising bloody steam, I stared at my own dead-pale reflection in the mirror.Luca, you saved me from a hunter raid ten years ago. Let's say I owed you my life.For a decade, I took silver bullets for you. I cleaned up you

Luca scoffed. His tone bled absolute arrogance and certainty."Give up? Elara bet her entire life on bonding herself to me. Don't worry, she can't leave me.""Without my blood, she has absolutely nothing."The tray tilted in my hands.A few drops of the boiling potion splashed onto the back of my hand.Angry red burns instantly blistered on my pale skin.I stood there, frozen. I didn't feel the pain until the burns swelled high.I couldn't even tell if the pain was coming from my hand, or my heart.I gripped the crystal vial and walked to the end of the hall.A row of withered vines sat there, allegedly transplanted from a fallen angel's courtyard.With a tilt of my wrist, I poured the potion I'd spent three hours brewing straight into the dirt.Just then, Mia strutted over. She swung the badly scratched bracelet in her hand.She watched me dump the potion, a victorious sneer on her lips."Elara, Luca just told me the moonlight in the master bedroom is better for my health.""You know,

Luca's POVTen minutes later, a servant ran back into the hall dripping with cold sweat.He was deadly pale. Shaking violently."My Lord." He dropped to his knees. His voice trembled. "There is nothing outside. No ashes. No clothes. No trace at all."I crushed the crystal glass in my hand to dust.Sharp shards dug deep into my palm. Blood dripped through my fingers."Impossible."

Luca's POV8:00 AM. I sat in the alchemy lab, my face pale and grim.A fresh bowl of healing potion sat in front of me.But without Elara's pureblood to refine it, it smelled like rotting garbage.I fought back the nausea and took a sip. A second later, the old silver wound on my chest tore open with agonizing pain.I bent over, in too much pain to breathe. Black blood spilled from my mouth.I swept my arm and smashed the bowl on the floor. Clutching my chest, I roared at the servant: "Go find Elara! Tell her to get her ass back here and make my potion right now!"The servant shrank back and whispered, "My Lord, Lady Elara has been gone for three days."His words pierced my heart like a silver needle.The old wound exploded with tearing pain. I slumped into the chair, drenched in cold sweat.Then, a horrifying truth hit me.For ten years, Elara never needed my blood.I needed hers.I was in withdrawal.My broken body craved the Original heart-blood she secretly slipped into my potions.

I hugged Elara's old canvas bag until dawn.Tonight, I took Mia to the neutral zone.I booked the entire luxurious Scarlet Palace. I tried to beg the Nightshades for peace."Luca, are you sure this will work?" Mia grabbed my sleeve nervously. "Maybe we should just leave Onyx City."I shook off her hand. "Shut up. Just keep your mouth shut tonight and don't mess this up."The palace was brightly lit.All the prominent vampire families were here.I could feel their mocking stares right on me.At midnight, all the candles in the hall suddenly went out.Heavy shadows poured in from everywhere. A suffocating pureblood aura instantly covered the who

Elara’s POVThe hall was dead silent. Only Luca's harsh, painful gasps echoed.The pure silver gun was pressed hard against his forehead.The deadly heat of the silver made his skin smoke.But he completely ignored Gabriel's murderous intent.His bloodshot eyes looked past the cold barrel and locked onto my face."Elara. Tell them this is just an act." He coughed up a mouthful of black blood. His voice was trembling wildly, but it still held that disgusting arrogance. "You want to punish me. I get it. Are you satisfied now? Come home with me."I stood on the stairs, looking down at him. I felt absolutely nothing."You can have the Lord's ring back." He crawled forward a half-inch, trailing blood on the floor. "The master bedroom is yours. You will always be the only Lady of the Thorne family. I'll give it all back to you."His tone of a gracious savior sounded completely ridiculous now.I lifted my heavy black skirts. In my black-diamond heels, I walked steadily down the cold marble st
