"Evelyn Vane. You conspired with the Fallen. You tried to murder Tania Swann, future Lady of the Nightfall Court. Today, your blood wakes the Blood Mirror. We will rip out your memories. We will seal your fate." In the ancient catacombs, the Blood Mirror cast a dark red halo in the candlelight. My former fated mate lounged on his black velvet throne. He was Valerius Cross, the noble Lord of the Nightfall Court. Those eyes used to look at me with love. Now, they held only disgust. "The Blood Mirror will show every betrayal you've committed against this Court. Our entire kind will see the monster hiding under that pretty skin!" Tania clung softly to Valerius's broad chest. She traced lazy circles on his skin. A sweet, smug smile played on her lips. She was so sure the mirror would condemn me tonight. She was so sure I'd burn to ashes. The rune-carved silver chains bit deep into my flesh. Black smoke hissed from my burns. Even so, I spoke. My voice was broken. "Valerius, are you sure about this? Do you really want my blood to show you my memories? Once it starts... none of you can turn back."

Chapter 1
Bound to the cross, I slowly looked up. My voice was hollow."Valerius, do you really want to see? Once the mirror wakes, there's no going back."His hateful eyes instantly flared with rage.He crushed his wine glass. He roared. "Enough! Who are you threatening? Today, you will apologize for terrifying Tania. You will pay for betraying our Court!"The vampire elite hissed in agreement."Tear the traitor apart!""She sold us out to those Fallen! All because she envied Lady Tania!""Start the mirror! Let her burn in agony!"Valerius looked down at me. His voice dripped with fake pity. "Evelyn, apologize to Tania now. Confess your sins. I might make your burning... a bit faster."Tania looked up at him. She whispered weakly, "Don't be like that, Valerius. I believe Evelyn didn't mean it..."She turned to me. Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked so kind. She looked so innocent. "Evelyn, just confess, okay? Please. I don't want to see you suffer."I stared at her. My eyes were dead. Her

The Blood Mirror pulsed violently. It looked like a giant, floating heart.The dark red glow grew brighter. It turned the catacombs into a thick sea of blood.My blood flowed along the runes. It poured into the ancient glass.Through the blinding pain, I felt my life fading away.Ashen cracks spread across my pale skin. My veins bulged like black vines."Finally!" Tania smiled in excitement. "Now everyone will see this traitor's true colors!"In the crowd, my kin pointed. They whispered cruel jokes."You can never really know someone. A traitor like her should burn alive in sunfire!""She always acted so high and mighty. Who knew she was such trash inside?""Look at her sickly body. How dare she try to steal the Lord? Thank God she's not our future Lady. The Nightfall Court would be doomed."Valerius sat like stone. He watched my execution with dead eyes.Finally, the image in the mirror steadied.Everyone expected to see my dirty deals with the Fallen. But the scene on the glass plung

Julian shook uncontrollably.His lips trembled. He couldn't force out a single word.He remembered perfectly. Five years ago, after that attack, everyone told him a story. They said Tania risked her life. They said she ran into the sunfire to save him.When he woke up in the dark, her face was the first thing he saw.She held him and cried. She talked about how scared she was. She claimed she conquered her terror just for him.As for me... when the Court doctors pulled me from the rubble, I was burnt crisp. I was barely alive.I screamed in a pitch-black recovery room for three whole months. I hovered on the edge of death before I finally got a bit of my strength back.Everyone thought I just got hurt running around blindly. Julian included.He even yelled at me for it. He called me a coward. He said I only caused trouble. He said I was nothing compared to the brave, selfless Tania.Now, the Blood Mirror shoved the bloody truth right in his face.Tania went pale too. She grabbed Valeri

In the memory, I didn't pause for a second."I accept.""So quick to agree! But what if I told you someone else has to feed him this serum for it to work? Still want to do it?"The alchemist leaned in closer. His voice was pure malice. "You save his life. But he will never know. He will think the one who feeds him is his true mate. He will give her his heart. He will give her everything.""Even so, do you still want to make the deal?"I looked up. There was no hesitation in my eyes. "As long as he lives to see the night, it doesn't matter who has him."A shocked gasp ripped through the noble vampires.Trading immortal regeneration for someone else's life. Asking for nothing in return. It was madness. They couldn't understand it.Valerius's massive frame went completely rigid.He stared blankly at the glass. The breath caught in his throat.After he was poisoned, he remembered waking up. He found Tania by his bed, day and night.She came to him in tears. She held a bowl of strange, swee

Cassian jerked back, his face deathly pale."No... no..." He shook his head, trembling. "Please, stop..."But the Blood Mirror had no mercy. It wouldn't stop for anyone's begging.It had already caught the scent of the third memory and began frantically draining the last drops of blood from my body.White-hot agony ripped through me. The world began to blur, my consciousness fraying at the edges.My skin was practically translucent now, my veins branching out like black spiderwebs.Images began to surface in the mirror.The mirror showed a battle on the clan borders, two years past.As the clan's top assassin, Cassian had infiltrated the Fallen's lair alone. But it was an ambush.In the vision, he was covered in blood. A Fallen’s claws had torn open his throat, severing the carotid artery.Black venom was creeping into his veins.It was Fallen necro-venom. Left untreated, the victim would devolve into a mindless Ghoul within three days."Throw him in the dungeon!" Julian's voice echoed

Chapter 6
The Blood Mirror let out a piercing hum. The entire catacomb trembled.Cracks spiderwebbed across the ancient stone pillars. The candles flickered wildly, casting eerie shadows."Impossible..." The elder backed away, shaking. "The mirror is moving on its own? This breaks all the ancient laws..."But the mirror was beyond anyone's control now.It ruthlessly drained my very last drops of blood. The crimson light was blinding.I could feel the last bit of warmth leaving my body, but at the same time, a twisted sense of satisfaction washed over me.The Blood Mirror didn't just extract memories.When the blood of the accused runs dry, the mirror reveals the Final Truth—a reflection not of memory, but of absolute reality.A scene surfaced. It wasn't a distant memory.It was from half a month ago—the real truth behind this so-called "murder."An abandoned clock tower stood stark against the night sky.A figure in a black cloak waited on the roof.It was the leader of the Fallen, a traitor exi

Everyone froze and slowly turned to the altar.On the cross, my body was like porcelain shattered from within, a web of ashen cracks spreading across my skin.My fingertips were already turning to dust, blowing away in the cold draft of the crypt.The Scarlet Judgment had taken my very last drop of blood.I was disappearing."No... no..."Valerius dropped Tania instantly. She crashed to the floor, but he didn't care.In a flash of desperate speed, he was at the cross, his bare hands reaching for the pure silver chains.The burning silver instantly seared his flesh to the bone. The smell of burning skin filled the air.But he felt nothing.He ripped the chains apart with his bare hands, letting the lethal silver poison flood his veins."Evelyn... Evelyn... please... look at me..."He carefully pulled me down from the cross.I weighed almost nothing now, ready to fade away at any second.Julian and Cassian scrambled up the altar.Three proud, untouchable men, now brought to their knees i

Chapter 8
It was blood-red lightning, carrying fury and judgment.The catacombs shook violently. Spiderweb cracks tore through the stone walls.The law of the ancient Blood Bond is absolute. A life for a life. A power for a power. A betrayal for a reckoning.Three years ago, I sacrificed my immortal healing to save Valerius's life.And now, as the one who benefited, he had personally sent his savior to her death.This betrayal completely shattered the balance of the Bond.The moment Valerius's blood touched my heart, the dark, ancient Blood Pact materialized in the air and burst into flames."Argh!"Valerius let out a blood-curdling scream and convulsed violently.The immortal healing in his body—my power—was being violently ripped out of him by an unstoppable ancient force.The pain of having his soul torn apart forced him to his knees."What... what is this..." Julian backed away in terror."The Bond backlash!" the elder stammered. "The pact is balancing its scales! The power he stole is being

Chapter 9
The catacomb was dead quiet.Only Valerius's heavy breathing echoed against the stone walls.Without the immortal healing, his body was now enduring the same crippling weakness and pain I had suffered every day for three years.But the physical torment was nothing compared to his mental agony.The three men crawled to me on their knees, the sound of flesh scraping against the bloody stone deafening in the silence.Valerius’s trembling hands retrieved something from the floor.The Blood Bond ring.Three years ago, when he chose Tania over me, I had taken it off and thrown it on the ground.Now it lay in the dirty blood, dull and lifeless."Evelyn..." He held the ring, sobbing like a lost child. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I was blinded... I forgot everything you did for me...""Please, give me one more chance. I'll spend eternity making it up to you! I'll love you with my life, I'll never let anyone hurt you again!"He tried to slide the ring back onto my finger, but I gently pulled m
