All Chapters of Vampire Mate’s Regret After Abandoning Me for Childhood Sweetheart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

I was one of the most powerful vampires in the world, possessing immense wealth accumulated over centuries.Everyone was surprised when they learned that I had fallen in love with a human, Damien.Damien was just a poor painter, earning only three thousand dollars a month, but I didn't care; I loved him.I turned him into a vampire, granting him eternal life. More than that, I saved his dying family - his parents Thomas and Margaret who were critically ill, and his sister Lily who was dying from a rare blood disease.I turned them all into vampires, granting them immortality and perfect health.The fifty-year Grand Vampire Convocation was approaching. Only the most prestigious vampires have the opportunity to attend, and participants have the chance to gain greater power and become higher-ranking vampires.The spots were very precious, some costing up to $1 million just for entry. But Lily pleaded that they had never attended any vampire events and wanted to see what it was like.So, I

I treated myself to rare vintage blood at the most exclusive vampire establishment in our territory.Premium blood aged for decades, $5,000 per glass. Without a whole family to bankroll, this ancient vampire had wealth to spare!I stayed out until near dawn before returning to the mansion.The house was dark and silent. No messages, calls, or texts while I was out - they'd all gone to their day-sleep without caring about my whereabouts.I made my way through the darkness to the master bedroom. The moment I opened the door, my vampire senses recoiled in fury.Victoria's cheap human perfume saturated the air. Mixed with something else that made my ancient blood boil.Damien's scent. Intimate. Close.My territory. My home. My mate. All contaminated by human presence.As I approached our silk-draped bed, a shriek pierced the silence."Ah!"Victoria was lying in my spot.My spot. Where my power anchored. Where I should be strongest.My blood didn't just boil - my vampire nature roared for v

I spent two glorious weeks at the mountain resort, completely unreachable.No phones. No messages. No desperate vampires begging for money.Just premium blood, luxury accommodations, and absolute peace.When I finally turned my phone back on, I had 247 missed calls and 189 text messages.I scrolled through them with detached amusement.From Damien: "WHERE ARE YOU?!" "The tribute gifts are missing!" "We can't get into the Convocation!" "CALL ME BACK!"From Lily: "Sister Scarlett, my agency dropped me! What happened?!" "All my bookings are cancelled!" "Please call them and fix this!"From Margaret: "The art collective removed me from all events!" "What did you tell them?!"From Thomas: "I've been fired! After one day!" "You did this!"And dozens more, each more desperate than the last.I deleted them all without responding.Then I made a few calls of my own.First, to the Vampire Council administrator. "Hello, this is Scarlett. I wanted to confirm the bloodline severance ceremony is stil

Life continued for both of us, but on very different paths.Every month, like clockwork, I received my payment. Sometimes it was on time. Often it was a few days late, with frantic calls begging for extensions.I never granted them.I heard through vampire social circles that Damien was working three jobs to make the payments. Security work, enforcement jobs, even occasional bodyguard gigs for wealthy vampires who didn't care about his ruined reputation.The work was brutal and dangerous. He came home covered in blood most nights - sometimes his own, usually others'.Thomas and Margaret found work as night janitors at a vampire club. The same vampires who once respected them now watched them clean toilets.Lily worked as a blood courier, delivering blood packages for minimum wage plus tips. The magazines that once featured her on covers now wouldn't return her calls.They lived in a tiny apartment in the worst part of the vampire district. Four vampires sharing two bedrooms, eating che
