The Wife the Vampire Chose to Lose Chapter 12
Elena's POVThe shift between me and Adrian came gradually, through countless quiet ordinary days.We had started as business partners—he handled negotiations, exhibition logistics, and investment; I focused on painting. There was no probing, no calculated closeness.After the ghoul attack, we grew closer. But even then, he remained careful, holding himself back—asking before every small gesture of comfort, even a simple reassuring hug.He never asked about my past marriage. He never pressed for explanations when I went quiet. He simply showed up on the day of my follow-up appointment with all the paperwork ready. He sat beside me when I was low, not pushing me to talk.Over time, I noticed I no longer had to second-guess every word I said around him. I didn't have to manage my expressions or earn my sense of safety through retreat.With Adrian, I was a partner first—his equal. So even when something began to grow between us and we eventually became a couple, I never felt off-balance a

Elena's POVI noticed something was wrong first because of a shadow crossing my canvas.The floor-to-ceiling windows of the gallery are always full of light. At three in the afternoon, the sun warms the whole wall to deep gold. But for just a moment, something above blocked it.I looked up and caught a shape reflected in the glass.It moved with a speed no human could manage.Before I could turn to warn Adrian, he was already beside me."Watch out." His voice landed close at my ear, his eyes locked on the gallery's open ventilation door, his body already shifting to put himself in front of me.I followed his gaze.A woman stood in the doorway.She was skeletal—grey skin, clothes caked with mud, hair plastered to her face, nails torn and broken.But I knew her.Lilian.My stomach clenched hard.Her eyes moved between me and Adrian before settling on me, the way a starved animal settles on prey."...Elena."Her voice was cracked and parched, nothing like the sweet, composed sound I remem

Ryan's POVI had told myself I would only watch Elena from a distance. But I couldn't hold to that. Every time I saw her, I thought about what we'd had—what I'd broken—and I couldn't stop myself from trying to get closer.The city Elena lived in was always warm, always bright. During the day I moved through crowds to visit her gallery, and the sun left burns on me each time.The Elder Council kept trying to reach me, demanding to know what I was doing in the human world, asking what had become of my heir—why they detected no half-blood newborn's presence.For a while I was able to put them off. But Elena and her "business partner" had gotten under my skin, and I had no focus left for anything else.Eventually, I stopped responding to the Council altogether. They investigated and found out the truth on their own, and what they found made them furious.A vampire of noble lineage, ensnared by a forbidden ritual, indirectly responsible for the death of his own heir—an embarrassment to ever

Ryan's POV"I didn't know..." Lilian held the infant, her voice unsteady. "I truly didn't know it would be like this... maybe I drank too much of your blood... I just wanted him to live, Ryan, you can't blame me..."She looked helpless and pitiful, but I suddenly felt tired of it.That deliberate, practiced fragility now only made me sick.The forbidden ritual had begun dispersing from her body as the child was delivered. My senses were sharp enough to catch the strange residue of it. And I could also detect what the excess of my blood had done to her—she had already turned. She was a ghoul now, bound to me.The overexposure had clouded her pupils. The hunger in them was ugly and obvious.Another memory surfaced.Early in Elena's pregnancy, when she had been struggling with the physical toll, she had never complained. She had just leaned against me quietly and asked if she was being a burden to me.She had even stopped me from cutting myself too many times. Even after I explained that

Ryan's POVWhen Lilian shook me awake and told me Elena had fallen down the stairs, I didn't understand what she was actually saying at first.Lilian's voice was shaking. Tears were balanced on the edge of her eyes, and she looked as though she had been badly frightened. She said Elena had lost control of herself and fallen, that there was blood everywhere, that Elena's father had come with guards and taken the body away.That Elena's father's guards had struck her in the face.I watched Lilian's lips moving but couldn't follow the second half of what she said.In that moment, everything inside me went quiet.Vampires live in a world of absolute clarity and precision. But right then, I felt nothing. Time seemed to stop in the air around me.I walked toward the main hall without thinking.The floor had been mostly cleaned, but the bloodstains still clung to the grooves between the tiles—dried red against stone, and the air still held a trace of her.Elena's warmth, that clean familiar s

Elena's POVI woke up to the smell of antiseptic.Consciousness came back slowly, and my body felt strange—too light, too empty. The heavy, familiar weight I'd carried for eight months was gone.For a moment, I didn't dare look down, because I already knew.My father was sitting beside the hospital bed, suit jacket draped over the back of the chair, dried blood still on the cuff of his shirt.He never allowed himself to look disheveled. But right now, the exhaustion in his eyes, and the fury underneath it, were not hidden.He saw me wake, and was quiet for several seconds before he spoke."The baby is gone."His voice was steady. No emotion in the surface of it. But I could hear what that steadiness was holding down.I took a slow breath. I didn't cry. I simply placed my hand over my abdomen.Perhaps because the grief was too vast to feel all at once, my body gave me something strange—a false sense of lightness, as though all the pain that had been hollowing me out was gone too.My fat
