It was at our engagement banquet that I finally learned the truth. I wasn't the true heiress of a noble human family. I wasn't the "fated bride" destined to bear a half-blood child for the vampires. I was just the wrong baby someone had brought home from the hospital. A fake. I'd thought that Alexander, the boy who'd risked his life to drag me out of a burning house, the boy I'd grown up beside, would love me the same as always. Instead, in front of everyone, he let go of my hand and looked down at me with cold eyes. "Without that bloodline, do you really think you deserve to stand beside me?" Then he reached out and slid the engagement ring off my finger himself. He turned, and led the true heiress up to the high platform. Everyone laughed at me. The fake heiress, delusional enough to think she could marry the vampire heir. I was thrown out of the only home I'd ever known. The only kindness left to me was Alexander's, a scrap of charity that let me stay at his side as the lowest thing a vampire could keep. A blood slave. And then, later, I died in an explosion. Saving him. Alexander knelt in the blood and lost his mind, screaming at everyone around him to save me. But there was something he didn't know. I hadn't died. Later still, at a vampire banquet, he saw me again at last. I walked past him on another man's arm, smiling. And this time, it was his turn to lose his mind begging me to look back at him.

The Fake Heiress the Vampire Prince Regretted Losing Chapter 15
Elena's POVIn the end, I didn't go with them.My mother stood there, eyes red.As if, only now, she'd finally understood. I was not going to forgive them this time, not the way I would have before."Elena…"Her voice was shaking."We know. We were wrong. We really do."I just looked at her, calmly, and shook my head."It's too late."The air went quiet.The color drained slowly out of my father's face too.In the end, they didn't push it any further.They just walked out of the hall, the both of them, hollowed-out.I watched them go.And I realized something.The Ashbournes, who had once held themselves so high, had been brought to this.My father's tailcoat was clearly an old model. The cuffs were worn.My mother's jewelry wasn't the priceless collection it used to be.So. Without their "fated bride," they'd never managed to climb into the vampire world after all.I watched them go, and there was nothing big inside me.Only a thin, distant sense of how strange life could be.That was

Elena's POVJoey hadn't wanted to bring me back for the Council.Ever since I'd woken up, he had kept me away from any news of that world.The nobles. The banquets.The people who'd once driven me to the edge.Joey wanted to put himself between me and all of it.That night, it was raining again.Damp sea air came in through the windows.I was sitting by the window, sorting through my drawings, and Joey was at the desk, frowning at the invitation I'd quietly pulled out of the mailbox.After a long time, he said it quietly."I could just not go."I looked up.He didn't meet my eyes."The Council business is just official. There's no need to attend it.""And," he paused, his voice dropping, "I don't want you running into those people again."The rain kept falling.I looked at him for a long moment.Then I smiled, gently."But you've already declined more than once, haven't you? It'll affect your business, won't it?"Joey went still.I put down the brush, stood up, and walked over to him.

Elena's POVTo let me recover in peace, Joey took me away from the place we'd been staying.He took me somewhere remote.It was near the sea.The weather was always overcast.The rain didn't stop.A grey-blue sky, year-round, hung over the wet mist.The human me probably wouldn't have liked it here.But somehow, after I'd become a vampire, I started to like weather like this.The wind in the middle of the night didn't feel cold on my skin anymore.When the rain came down, I could smell the wet smell of leaves and earth on the air, sharp and clean.The whole world had become quiet and slow.Like, finally, I had room to breathe.That night, after Joey told me how he felt, the air between us shifted into something strange.But it wasn't exactly awkwardness, either.Mostly, I'd started avoiding his eyes.Because every time mine met his, I'd remember that night.The way he'd looked at the floor and held my hand carefully in his.And said, "I don't want to be your friend."Joey, for his part

Elena's POVI never thought I'd actually live.When my mind came back to me, I assumed I was already dead.Everything was black. My whole body felt like it had been ripped apart and stitched back together, even the movement of blood through me hurt, like something burning.I tried to open my eyes. They were too heavy.There was a man's voice, near me. Rough. Low."Please. Wake up. Don't leave me here on my own…"His voice was breaking. Like he hadn't slept in days.For a second I thought it was Alexander.I found out later that the person who'd come for me that day was Joey.He'd been keeping watch outside the manor. He'd been ready to forcibly take me away from there.He just hadn't expected Alexander to bring me to a vampire nobles' banquet.By the time he reached the venue, the whole floor had blown apart.The fire was too thick to see through.He told me the whole banquet hall was in chaos. Everyone was running.He was the only one who'd thrown himself into the wreckage. The only o

Alexander's POVIt had never crossed my mind that Elena could die.The moment the explosion went off, I was still standing there with my arms open. Still waiting, like an idiot, for her to open the window and jump down into me.Fire bloomed in front of my eyes and the shockwave threw me off my feet.
