Chapter 1

After confirming that Isolde was also awake, I immediately called Caelum to tell him I wanted to sever the bond.Two days of silence. He didn’t answer a single call or message.“Our baby is gone,” I finally texted.That got an immediate response. Caelum’s voice came through the phone, ice-cold with fury.“Seraphina, is this how you are? You don’t hear back from me so you decide to get rid of our child? You’re out of your mind.”“I told you to stay in the manor while you were pregnant. But you had to go wandering off. Then you called me nine times in a row while I was dealing with a crisis. Do you know what I was doing? Vivienne was in danger—hunters nearly got to her. She’s human, Seraphina. She could have died.”“And let me be clear—I turned you. I gave you immortality. Everything you have, you owe to me. So stop using our child to manipulate me. If you want to lose the pregnancy, go ahead.”From the background, I heard Vivienne’s soft, trembling voice: “Caelum, don’t be angry with he

Isolde was in the bed next to mine. We didn’t speak for a long time.She had heard everything—Caelum’s accusations, his contempt, the way he hung up without letting me finish a single sentence.She forced herself to sit up and reached for my hand. Her grip was weak. Her face had lost all its color since the attack, and Caelum’s words had drained whatever was left. Tears ran down her face and dripped onto my wrist.“We shouldn't have agreed to be turned into vampires and married them.” She whispered.She was thinking about me, but my mind was entirely on her.Before she met Dorian, Isolde had just graduated from Harvard Law. Top of her class, offers from three of the best firms in New York, a future most people could only dream of. She had thrown all of it away the night Dorian asked her to accept his blood. She walked away from her career, her friends, her entire human life—because she believed he loved her.Now her vampire abilities were permanently destroyed. She couldn’t go back to

Chapter 3

I was lying in the infirmary scrolling through my phone when a video arrived from Vivienne.It showed the aftermath of her "rescue." Caelum and Dorian flanked her on either side, attentive, protective, as if she were the most important person in the world. She was human—no immortality, no enhanced abilities, nothing—yet they treated her like royalty. They handed her warm blankets and fussed over her comfort while she sat there, one hand resting on her seven-month belly, smiling up at them."Thank you both," she said in the video. "You always show up right when I need you."The comments underneath were full of envy."I wish I had someone who cared about me like that.""Vivienne is so lucky. Both princes wrapped around her finger."But a handful of people noticed what was missing."Where are the princes' wives? I heard Seraphina was attacked by exiles. Why didn't the princes go help her?"Those comments disappeared quickly, buried under hundreds of fawning replies.A minute later, Isolde

Chapter 4

Isolde and I spent three weeks in the infirmary.In all that time, not a single call. Not a single message. Not from Caelum, not from Dorian, not from anyone in the Court. Nobody wondered where we were. Nobody asked if we were alive.Whatever was left of my heart went cold.On the day we were signing our discharge papers, I spotted Dorian in the corridor. He was walking fast, distracted, heading toward the other wing. He passed right by us without looking up.We followed him.He went straight to the maternity ward. Through the glass panel in the door I could see Vivienne lying in a hospital bed, gripping Caelum's hand, telling him how scared she was of the delivery. Dorian walked in and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. The three of them looked like they belonged together—a perfect, complete little family.I reached for my stomach without thinking. It was flat. Vivienne's fear of childbirth was a luxury. At least she had something to be afraid of losing.I pulled Isolde a

Dorian came up the stairs, phone pressed to his ear. "What's all the shouting about? I need to get back to the enforcement division. There's an exile attack case—the suspects have been caught and they're requesting leniency."He stopped mid-sentence when he saw me. His eyes went to my waist, then back to Caelum."Brother. Has Seraphina had the baby?"Caelum grabbed my arms. "It came early, right? Tell me the baby's fine. Tell me it's somewhere safe."I wrenched free of his grip. "What baby survives at five months?"He went still.My chest was on fire. I could still feel the blade going in. I could still feel the exact moment my child stopped moving inside me. That memory would never leave.I had never hated anyone as much as I hated him in that moment. If he had picked up the phone. If he had listened to me for ten seconds. If he had cared even slightly about whether I was alive or dead—our child would still be here.I looked at both of them and felt sick. "Yes, the baby is gone. And

Vivienne steadied herself against the wall and mumbled something about feeling unwell. She needed to go.Nobody stopped her. I had no proof—only suspicion. But I hadn't expected her to slip up that easily. It didn't matter. Once the enforcement division dug up the evidence, she wouldn't be able to run.I turned to Caelum. "Everyone's here. Let's go to the Blood Council and get the severance done."Neither of them moved. They stood there with their heads down, silent.Dorian spoke first. "I have to get back to the enforcement division. There's a suspect waiting and the hearing is already scheduled. I can't miss it."Then he turned to Isolde, softening his voice. "Just wait for me. Let me close this case and I'll come back and we'll sit down and talk properly. Don't go through with the severance. We can start over. I mean it. But right now I genuinely have to go."He was already heading for the stairs before she could answer.I got there first."The case you're rushing back to—the exiles

He watched me after delivering that line. Waiting for me to crumble, to beg, to take it back. I could see it in his face—a flicker of expectation. This was how it always worked between us. He said something cruel, and I folded.Not anymore.This was the man I had abandoned my human life for. The man I had let change my blood, my body, my entire existence. And at his core, he was nothing but selfish cruelty dressed up in a prince's title.Isolde broke the silence before I could."Turning her was a mistake? Her baby died because of you! When I got to her she was minutes from death—do you understand that? If she's such a mistake, then perfect—let's finish the severance right now. You and your brother don't deserve to be fathers. You don't deserve anyone."That set Dorian off. He snatched the documents and started walking toward the Blood Council chambers. "Fine! Let's go! You want it done, we'll get it done. Don't come crying to us afterward!"One hour later, the severance was official.W

Chapter 8

I had never spoken to Caelum like that before.The night he turned me, he told me he admired women who were quiet and graceful. Women who didn't argue, didn't push back, didn't make things difficult.So that's what I became. For two years I buried every sharp edge I had—the directness I'd learned in school, the stubbornness that had carried me through every difficult season of my human life—and replaced it all with softness. I never raised my voice. I never challenged him. I made myself into exactly what he described, because I thought that was what love required.Looking back, I could see it clearly now. He hadn't fallen in love with me. He had shaped me into something convenient—a wife who would never cause problems, never ask uncomfortable questions, never get in the way of whatever he truly wanted.And what he truly wanted had never been me. I was the woman he turned to make Vivienne jealous. I was the performance. And once the audience came back, the performance was no longer need

Chapter 9

Caelum had never believed me over Vivienne. Not once in two years.She was the girl he had loved since childhood. He had defended her on instinct, made excuses for her without thinking, placed her above everything and everyone—including his own wife.It took sworn testimony and a criminal confession to make him see what I had been telling him all along.Now when he mentioned her name, there was no warmth in his voice. Only disgust. I watched that shift happen and didn't know whether to feel vindicated or just tired.Then the enforcement division delivered the news: Lucius, the exile leader, had been captured.My chest tightened. I clenched my fists so hard my nails bit into my palms. The day of the attack rushed back—every detail still raw, still burning. Isolde felt it too. This was the man who had taken her powers from her, who had trapped her between two worlds with no way back to either.A second update followed: Vivienne had not been apprehended. She had arranged passage to a Eur

Chapter 10

We didn't hear anything about them for a month.Vivienne was captured trying to cross the border. The Blood Council's verdict was swift and unanimous: life imprisonment, no possibility of release.But the sentence didn't end there. As the mastermind behind the attack on a prince's Blood Consort and the death of a royal bloodling, she was classified as a blood source—a living supply for the prison's vampire inmates. Every day, guards would come to her cell and draw her blood to feed the other prisoners. She was human. She didn't regenerate the way vampires did. Each extraction left her weaker, paler, more hollowed out than the day before. She would spend the rest of her natural life in that underground cell, drained a little more each morning, kept alive just enough to be useful. The girl who had once refused to become a vampire because she valued her humanity would now spend every remaining day of it serving as their food.When enforcers searched her residence, they found her newbor
