Chapter 1

"Don't argue with me. Follow my plan exactly. The Purified Essence must be precise - make sure it destroys her bloodline power completely. She can't suspect anything." My mate Lord Damien's voice was cold."Once she wakes up, I'll take her to meet Vivienne's child. Without her power, she'll have no choice but to cherish the boy as her own. No Vampire Thrall has ever challenged a High Blood's decision."The apothecary Elara wiped sweat from her brow, her conscience clearly troubled."My Lord, please reconsider. Serena will be covered in burn scars, and now you want to destroy her bloodline power too? This is beyond cruel - it's practically a death sentence. How will she face the coven elders as a Thrall?""And what about Vivienne's child? The boy looks exactly like you. What if Serena notices the resemblance? Everything will fall apart!"Damien reached out, methodically pressing a blood-silk cloth to my cracked lips with surprising gentleness.His voice carried a note of resigned sadnes

I forced myself to get up, my newly scarred body protesting every movement.Damien's study was just next door. The safe in his desk had a familiar combination - the date we first met."I'll never forget this day," he'd told me then, crimson eyes glowing with what I'd thought was love. "The day my blood first recognized her mate."But nothing inside belonged to our story.Instead, I found dozens of bottles of blood supplements for vampire pregnancies, still sealed, pressed against Vivienne's blood test results.The most recent date was three years ago - the very day Damien had proposed to me.A phone lay among the evidence. Its cloud storage synced to a folder labeled "Our Blood's Journey."Weekly blood resonance images filled the screen. Each one had Damien's handwritten notes: "Lucien's first heartbeat!""Look at those tiny fingers!""Our little prince is growing so strong!"There were pages of carefully crafted blood formulas - specific blood types, temperatures, and concentrations t

I met his gaze steadily. "A Thrall has no place in the main Blood Ledger. I'm just... adapting to my new reality."Damien's expression turned distressed. "You'll always be my Consort, Serena. You have a place here in our coven."I met his gaze steadily. "As your future Consort, I should follow coven law. I won't embarrass you as a Lord."He pulled me closer, voice thick with emotion. "You always think of me first. That's why you're perfect for our coven."I suppressed a bitter smile at his performance."Damien, I want to leave the healing chamber."His body tensed immediately."Absolutely not. You haven't healed enough. I won't risk it."I tugged at his arm playfully, forcing a bright smile."But didn't you mention adopting a child?" I made my voice small, worried. "High Blood children are rarely abandoned. Will we be able to find one?"It was the first time in five years I'd acted vulnerable with him.Damien's expression softened. "Don't worry about that. A friend of mine, another Lor

I didn't stand firmly enough, and the door swung open under my weight.Damien's eyes flashed with panic."Serena, what are you doing here?""Don't overthink it," he rushed to explain. "Vivienne is the guardian of our coven's orphan ward, looking after all the children. She just happened to be here today to discuss Lucien's adoption..."Vivienne stood, holding Lucien close as she gave me a casual wave."Serena, it's been a while."From my position by the door, I forced a smile, swallowing my pain as my burns throbbed."It's fine. I was just looking around. Since you're busy, I won't disturb you. I'll wait in the car."I turned to leave, my legs still unsteady from the Purified Essence coursing through my veins.Damien thought I was upset and followed me, explanations tumbling from his lips."Please don't misunderstand. She's here all the time as the ward's guardian. All the children call her mother - it's just a title. Once the adoption is complete, I'll explain everything to Lucien."W

Chapter 5

Damien's parents, the coven's former Lord and Consort, glared at me with open hostility.Lucien was sobbing uncontrollably beside them." No! She's mean! I want Mommy! I don't want her in our coven!""I want Mommy! I want my real Mommy!"Vivienne leaned weakly against Damien, her wet clothes clinging dramatically."I'm sorry... I just told Serena I'd agreed to stand in for her at the blood oath ceremony. I never thought she'd react like this...""Don't blame her, Damien. She's been through so much..."I lay awkwardly on the deck, a bitter smile twisting my scarred lips."Damien, don't I deserve an explanation? The fire, my bloodline power's destruction, the child - was any of it real?"Damien's brow furrowed, but I caught the flash of panic in his eyes."What are you talking about? The fire was a tragic accident. Vivienne's just trying to help by taking your place in the ceremony.""She's being kind, and you attack her? What's happened to you, Serena?""Apologize to Vivienne. Now."Bef

The blood oath ceremony began in earnest.Damien stood at the ceremonial altar, but his mind kept replaying our last phone call. Something in my tone had unsettled his blood, an unease that grew stronger with each passing moment.He turned to Gideon urgently, interrupting the ritual preparations."Find Serena. She won't let me bond another without causing trouble."As they finished the ceremonial toasts, Damien led Vivienne through the crowd of well-wishers.Gideon rushed back, face ashen."My Lord!" he gasped, struggling to catch his breath. "There's been an attack on the northern border! Serena... she took a car to leave coven territory. A group of hunters ambushed the vehicle at the crossing point."His next words fell like stones: "The patrol found the wreckage. No survivors. The hunters..." he swallowed hard, "they left nothing to find."The ceremony fell silent.The joy drained from Damien's face so quickly it was as if someone had pulled a plug, leaving him a shade of white more

Gideon hurried away, face pale with fear of his Lord's rage, nearly stumbling in his haste to escape.As soon as he left, Vivienne glided closer with practiced grace.She maintained her usual gentle demeanor, the one she'd perfected over years of deception - head slightly bowed, eyes wide with concern, every movement calculated to appear harmless.Her hand slipped softly around Damien's arm, her touch deliberately light and soothing."What's wrong, my love?" she murmured, voice honey-sweet. "Did something happen to Serena? I knew she'd be upset about me standing in for the ceremony. She's always been... sensitive."Her lips curved in false sympathy. "But this is an important coven event. All the neighboring Lords are here, the coven elders are watching. Even if she's angry, she shouldn't try to ruin this moment with false rumors about hunter attacks! It's so... beneath her.""Damien," she pressed closer, her night jasmine perfume wrapping around him like a subtle trap, "you've always i

Chapter 8

The coven elders approached Damien through the crowded hall, relief radiating from their expressions.But their words struck like pure silver to his heart, burning deeper than any physical wound."Now that Serena's gone, you can finally claim Vivienne properly," his mother said, satisfaction dripping from every word. "No need to keep up these tiresome pretenses anymore."She adjusted her ceremonial robes with practiced elegance. "That Thrall was worthless anyway. A High Blood can't have a mate without bloodline power - it's unnatural. The coven would never have truly accepted her.""Choose a date soon," his father added eagerly. "Make your blood oath official. The coven hasn't had such cause for celebration in years! After the ceremony, we'll have Serena's chambers cleared out immediately. Vivienne can move in tonight - no point in waiting now."Damien stood frozen, staring at his parents' jubilant faces. His claws dug into his palms, drawing blood that he barely felt.For the first ti

Chapter 9

Guilt and regret warred in Damien's heart like clashing blades, his Bloodline Authority fluctuating dangerously with each surge of emotion.After a long moment, his voice emerged cold as winter, each word carrying the weight of a Lord's command:"Serena is my only mate," he growled, fangs dropping. "My blood chose her, even if I was too blind to see it.""Whether she lives or dies, she is the only one I will claim. The blood bonds don't lie - they never accepted Vivienne."His claws emerged as he continued, "I don't care if Vivienne is mated or single. It means nothing to me now. All her lies, all her manipulations - they're worth less than dust.""That night three years ago was a mistake," he spat the words like poison. "If I'd known Lucien would come of it, I would never have touched her. Never have started this chain of destruction."His power crackled visibly now, making the ceremonial candles flicker. "This ceremony was what you wanted - you can deal with the aftermath. I'm done w

Chapter 10

Tears fell onto his phone screen.Damien sent message after message.Professing his enduring love.Confessing his betrayals.But each message bounced back undelivered.I had blocked him completely.Damien didn't hesitate any longer, driving frantically to join the search parties.But it was too late.They found no trace of me at the hunter attack site.Meanwhile, my flight had already landed overseas.The staged hunter ambush had been my parting gift.My carefully laid trap for the Lord who had tried to destroy me.He wanted me scarred, wanted my bloodline power dead, wanted me living in his web of lies.So I'd left him a gift of my own.My friend Isolde waited at the airport, gasping when she saw my burned flesh.She touched the scars gently, tears streaming down her face."How could this happen? Damien promised to protect you! He swore a blood oath!""Did he do this? Why can only foreign healers help you? It was him, wasn't it? Serena, why are you still protecting him? Can't you see
