บททั้งหมดของ My Vampire Lord Mate Replaced Me on Mating Ceremony: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"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 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

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

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

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
