บททั้งหมดของ When Eternity Becomes a Lie: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

The war between vampires and werewolves has raged for centuries. But Dorian, the most revered vampire prince, shattered every rule and bound himself to me—a werewolf.The Elders punished him for it.For this, he was chained in sacred silver for days on end. Forced to drink the blood of beasts. He nearly died in a baptism of holy water. The pain was absolute.But when he saw me again, his eyes were bloodshot as he kissed my tears away. "The moment we bonded, I made a vow," he whispered. "You are my eternal mate. I will never forsake you."Finally, his family—the Valkyries—agreed. But they had one condition.He could leave the vampire world with me. But first, he had to sleep with Liliana, the pureblood noblewoman. He had to give his family a new, powerful heir.Dorian held me, his voice tight with desperation. "Please, Freya. Just wait a little longer. A few more years, and we can go to the human world. We can have our eternity."I waited. Night after night, he went to her bed. A hundre

Dorian vanished for three days. It was like he'd dropped off the face of the earth.But messages from Liliana never stopped coming.Day one: a video. Dorian sat by her hospital bed, gently feeding her medicine. His hands were so careful, as if she were the most precious thing in the world.Day two: another video. Dorian held Aria, his face full of a father's love. The little girl giggled in his arms, his eyes soft and warm.Day three was the one that shattered me. A family portrait in the garden. Dorian pushed the stroller while Liliana clung to his arm.The perfect family.The wolf inside me howled in agony.I’d seen it a thousand times before, but seeing it now, while I was injured, felt like a blade twisting in my heart.Just as I was about to block her for good, a new message appeared."Want your necklace back? Meet me at the clinic."My fingers trembled as I clutched the device.My necklace. The last mark of the Crescent Moon pack.I had to get it back.At the clinic, Liliana was

I was frozen to the spot. My world shattered.A low, satisfied moan came from the room."Ah... yes, right there... Dorian... a little deeper... for our child..."Her voice was a poison-laced whip, lashing my soul with every word.Through the crack, I saw her place her own hand over Dorian's, guiding his movements.The smile on her face was pure cruelty.And her eyes, burning with lust, never left the crack in the door. They were fixed on me.Dorian was silent. He said nothing. The rigid line of his back was the only sign of the agony he was in.But he didn't stop.The hands that had once cherished every inch of my skin were now inside another woman. Forging a path for a child that wasn't ours.I couldn't breathe. I turned and ran, stumbling from the castle like a wounded animal.The blizzard hit me full force, but it was nothing compared to the ice in my heart.The snowflakes felt like razors on my face, but I was already numb.My heart was dead.The memory of a night three years ago s

A sharp pain shot through my chest. The wolf inside me cried out."It wasn't me!" I screamed, sitting bolt upright. "Use the bond! If I'm lying, you can kill me right now!"The blood bond was our most sacred connection. No lie could hide within it.He finally looked up, his deep blue eyes bloodshot, swimming with pain and conflict."Everyone saw you. How am I supposed to believe you over my entire coven?" he snarled. "How can I protect you when you make it impossible? I have sacrificed everything for our 'forever'—for this damned eternity!"This damned eternity.That’s what our love had become to him."If our eternity is a curse," I said, my voice dangerously quiet as I met his furious gaze, "then I don't want it.""What?""I want to break our bond."The words hit the room like a bomb.Dorian's face went white with rage. He slammed his fist into the stone table beside him.The solid marble shattered."What did you just say?" His voice was a low growl. He lunged, his hands gripping my s

Dorian's POVI flew toward the castle at my top speed.The storm of bats slammed through the heavy main doors. Servants screamed and scattered.I ignored them all, storming up the stairs."Freya!" I yelled her name. "We can go! The ceremony is over!"I kicked her door open."Freya, we're free! We—"The words died in my throat. The room was empty.The blankets on the bed were neatly folded, as if no one had ever slept there.The vanity was bare. Her tinctures and potions, all gone.The wardrobe was wide open. And completely empty.Even her familiar scent of moonpetal flowers was gone from the air."No," I muttered. "Impossible."Panic flooded me, a tidal wave that threatened to drown me.I tore open every drawer, ripped up every sheet. Nothing.Every trace of her was gone."Freya!" I roared, bursting out of the room. "Where is Freya?!"I stormed down the stairs like a wild beast."Alfred! Where is Alfred?!"The old butler emerged from a corner, trembling."Your Highness. You've returned
