Synopsis

Tragic Love

Bias

Mistress

Winning Back the Wife

Cheating

I was at the Blood Registry office to reissue my Blood Covenant Certificate with Lord Ethan when the registrar looked up at me and said, “Your Blood Covenant Certificate is forged.” “There is no record of your bond in the vampire consort system.” I froze. “That’s impossible,” I whispered. “I registered my union with Lord Ethan five years ago. Please check again.” The clerk searched once more. “Lord Ethan’s record is here,” he said calmly. “His lawful consort is Ella.” Ella? The name fell like a blade. Before he said it, I still hoped it was a clerical mistake. But Ella… was his childhood companion. In that moment, everything made sense. In five years, he had never marked me. He had publicly acknowledged me as his Blood Queen, letting the entire Coven believe I stood beside him by right. He had given me titles, a throne at his side, and a crown to wear in front of the world. Titles can be announced. Only the Registry makes it law. The certificate he gave me had been nothing but a beautiful lie. The five years I believed were happiness— were nothing more than a carefully forged illusion. An illusion crafted to keep me obedient, grateful, and blind. If none of it was ever truly mine, if even the title of “Blood Queen” was only a performance, then leaving should be easy.

Chapter 1
I returned to the manor shrouded in night, the forged Blood Covenant Certificate still clutched in my trembling hands.A Blood Covenant Certificate is the official decree granted to every vampire couple who completes the Crimson Bond Rite. It was the document that proved I was his wife in the eyes of our world.Without it, I was nothing.I forced down the chill rising in my chest, but before I could push open the doors, I heard Ethan’s voice drifting from the study, low and deliberate, speaking with his adjutant.“My Lord, it has been five years. Will you not complete the formal registration with Lady Vivienne?”My hand froze on the handle. Even my breath ceased.After a brief pause, Ethan’s voice answered, calm and controlled.“Not yet. Ella carries only a trace of vampire blood from generations ago. In our world, that means she has no protection, no name, no power.”The adjutant hesitated.“But Lady Vivienne has no official entry in the Blood Registry. If she ever learns the truth, s

Chapter 2
Ethan’s voice was steady and resolute as he assured Ella that no one would take their daughter away from them.They stood far too close, and when he bent his head to comfort her, the tenderness in his expression felt effortless, as though they had been destined to stand side by side.Within moments, Ethan guided Ella up the marble staircase to the second floor of Saint Nocturne Orphanage. Only then did I step out of my car and follow, my heels echoing against the cold stone steps.Near the director’s office at the end of the corridor, several attendants of the Nightfall Dominion had gathered. They spoke in hushed tones, yet every word reached me with merciless clarity.One of them remarked that the child must be the girl Lord Ethan intended to bring back to the estate, marveling at how strikingly she resembled him, calling it an extraordinary twist of fate.Another insisted with quiet certainty that the girl was the Lord’s biological daughter, merely presented publicly as an orphan so

“Don’t worry. I’m not misunderstanding anything.”My voice was calm when I told Ethan to continue with the adoption proceedings and that I would wait in the car.Relief visibly washed over him, and he even allowed himself a lighter smile as he told me to wait obediently and promised he would return shortly.I turned toward the black town car parked beneath the night sky. As I walked, I passed attendants from my former Coven and servants of the Nightfall Dominion. They did not bother to lower their voices. Their glances lingered on me with something dangerously close to pity.Someone murmured that I was truly pathetic, that I had no idea what was happening around me. Another remarked that the Lord visited the orphanage almost daily to accompany Ella, and that rumors claimed they had already secured a legitimate Blood Covenant registration and completed the Crimson Bond Rite. Meanwhile, I—the publicly acknowledged Blood Queen—appeared to be nothing more than an inconvenient afterthought.

Chapter 4
I opened my mouth to respond, but Mia suddenly began demanding to play on the terrace swing.Ethan set down his crystal goblet without hesitation and rose at once, lifting her into his arms and saying he would take her upstairs.The moment he disappeared with the child, the dining hall fell into silence.Only Ella and I remained.The tears vanished from her face as if they had never existed. She looked at me with open mockery.“Vivienne, how does it feel to spend five years as a counterfeit consort?”She took a slow step closer, her tone soft but venomous.“Oh, and Mia is my daughter. You didn’t know that, did you?”She moved nearer until I could clearly see the contempt in her eyes.“My Blood Covenant with Ethan is the one recorded in the Blood Registry. You were never entered into the Blood Registry. You’re nothing but a ceremonial illusion. If you have any dignity left, you should leave on your own instead of clinging to a throne that was never yours.”“Even the Covenant’s official

Ethan PovThe moment I felt the severing of her presence in the estate, something inside my veins recoiled as if struck by silver. The bond I had always taken for granted—her nearness, her scent threaded through these halls—was gone, and the absence roared louder than any accusation.I tried to reach her through the private blood-link we once shared, but the channel returned nothing but silence. Not resistance. Not anger. Just void.For the first time in centuries, fear did not feel like a distant concept. It felt immediate.I seized my adjutant by the collar and ordered every gateway sigil within the Dominion sealed. No portal would activate without my authorization. No vessel would depart the coast. Every shadow network we controlled was to report movement under her name. I wanted confirmation that she still existed within the same world as I did.Hours passed. Every search returned empty.By the time I returned to the estate, the grand hall felt cavernous and unfamiliar. I stood the

Chapter 6
I spent my days moving between the Royal Gateways and the Dominion’s shadow network, neglecting council matters entirely.Word of Vivienne’s departure spread quickly through the Covenant, and the elders began arriving in calculated succession.“Lady Ella is your legally registered consort, and the child carries your blood. Why chase after someone who chose to leave when you already have a family?”I kept my voice steady at first, but anger sharpened every syllable.“The woman I love is Vivienne. My history with Ella was obligation, not devotion. If Vivienne returns, I will revoke every provisional heir declaration.”The chamber fell into an uneasy silence before one of the nobles dared to speak what the others only thought.“You formalized a Covenant with Ella and fabricated one for Vivienne. Was that not your intention from the beginning—to replace one with the other when it became convenient?”The control I had been clinging to snapped, and the force of my aura fractured the obsidian

Chapter 7
At dawn the inner courtyard was already alive with movement, warded lanterns still burning as night-gardeners planted shadow-lilies imported from the Veiled Marsh, flowers that bloomed only beneath eclipsed moons and were said to bind lovers who walked among them.I had ordered them brought in before sunrise, determined to recreate something grander than the sanctuary Vivienne once tended with her own hands.A steward murmured that such flowers were nearly extinct in the wild and that a Lord who rebuilt an entire garden for his consort must truly be devoted.Another voice, quieter but sharper, countered that devotion had lost its meaning now that whispers of my long entanglement with Ella had spread across the Covenant along with the rumor of a daughter whose blood bore my name.Someone else dredged up older memories, recalling that before I claimed dominion, Ella had withdrawn to more prosperous courts while Vivienne endured exile beside me, absorbing slander and insult without compla

Chapter 8
The fear in Ella’s eyes no longer hid behind performance; her voice trembled as she tried to speak, but the tremor was no longer calculated.My adjutant had already breached her encrypted comm-crystal and projected the recovered correspondence between her and Vivienne onto the obsidian screen, restoring images and recordings she believed erased.He handed the device to me with a restrained tone, informing me that Ella had sent repeated provocations, staged photographs, and one concealed surveillance sequence she had deliberately deleted.I took the projection slate and began scrolling through the evidence.There were messages layered in triumph and cruelty.There were still images of me lifting the child before a council gathering, of me standing beside Ella under the medical tower lanterns, moments framed to imply intimacy that had never truly existed.Each frame pierced with quiet precision.Then the final recording loaded.It was taken from a warded dining chamber within my own esta

Vivienne Pov News of Ethan’s public decree to locate me reached the Ivory Thorn Covenant within hours.At that moment, I was seated across from Lord Gabriel Valerius in the most coveted midnight salon in the Southern Dominion.The establishment opened only after dusk and closed before dawn, its vaulted ceiling set with drifting shards of luminescent crystal that mimicked a shattered constellation, while goblets of aged vitae caught candlelight like liquid garnet.Gabriel was the alliance my father had once negotiated before I chose rebellion over prudence.He descended from one of the oldest unbroken pureblood lines in the continent, his aura steady and refined, the kind of presence that commanded silence without raising a voice.To the world he was a sovereign carved from ice and discipline.With me, he tempered that edge.I had mentioned the salon only once in passing.It was said that even High Court envoys waited weeks for a reservation.Within days, Gabriel had quietly acquired t

Vivienne Pov The Blood Bond ceremony was held at Gabriel’s coastal estate in the Southern Dominion.The manor rose from the cliffs in obsidian arches veined with silver sigils, its grand hall illuminated by suspended crystal constellations while moonlight streamed through stained-glass vaults and spilled across polished marble steps.I entered the hall wearing a fitted gown encrusted with nine hundred and ninety-nine shards of moonstone, each one catching the light like fragments of frozen starlight, and the murmur that followed me was neither subtle nor restrained.Some whispered that the gown had been crafted by Royal Court artisans over the span of a year.Others spoke openly of the reverence Gabriel held for the woman he would bind himself to.A few did not bother disguising their envy.I carried a bouquet of crimson night-roses and walked toward Gabriel, who waited at the center of the elevated dais.This was the second time I had approached a Blood Union in ceremonial white.The
