Chapter 1

Elena's POVI was born into the noble Montclair family, a bloodline that had forged marriage alliances with pureblood vampire aristocracy for generations.Only the women of our family carried the rare blood that could bond with vampires and produce hybrids capable of walking in the sun.At my coming-of-age ball, I fell in love at first sight with Jason—heir candidate to the Valerie vampire dynasty.I should have married him without any fuss and fulfilled the alliance. But my father opposed it.I was young and headstrong. I refused to give Jason up—even if it meant severing ties with my own family.I told myself that with enough patience, I could make Jason love me.I was wrong. For ten years, he treated me like I didn't exist—his unwanted alliance wife, nothing more than air.He told me I was the type of person he despised most—the kind who won't leave him alone the most.He told me he would never love me.I slipped the pregnancy report into my pocket without a word, one hand resting p

Chapter 2

Elena's POVJason's face went rigid for a split second before he let out a short, sharp laugh."Don't be ridiculous. You can't just walk away from an alliance marriage."He got out of bed and cupped my face in his hands.At this distance, I could see the lipstick stain on his neck and smell the sharp tang of perfume on his skin.I jerked away involuntarily, dropped to my knees, and dry-heaved.Jason's hands clenched. His expression darkened."What? Disgusted that I've been with another woman?"He towered over me, picking up the divorce papers and giving them a dismissive glance."This marriage was your idea. You begged for it, remember? You're the one who insisted on marrying me—and now you want a divorce?"He tore the papers to shreds and let the pieces fall over me like confetti.Back then, I'd cut ties with my family to be with him.My father had warned me—if I chose a vampire alliance over his wishes, I could forget about ever coming home again.To punish me for rejecting his chose

Chapter 3

Elena's POVJason saw the silence in my eyes and a flicker of irritation crossed his face."Stop making a scene. Your parents had an arranged marriage too, and they each did their own thing. You don't need to stand here pretending to be hurt."My fists clenched. I clenched my jaw so hard my teeth ached, glaring at him through burning eyes.He knew this was my deepest wound—and he'd ripped it open without hesitation.Part of the reason I'd defied my father and chosen a vampire was because I truly believed in their nature.Vampires were loyal to their mates—forever.I had desperately wanted that kind of marriage, that kind of love. I'd believed that one day, Jason would feel the same.But I was wrong.He'd married me under duress, and all he wanted was a hybrid heir.Every way I'd tried to please him only made him despise me more—a clingy woman who couldn't even produce a child.To disgust me and make me give up sooner, he'd never even bothered finding a steady companion. Instead, he bro

Chapter 4

Elena's POVI woke to a bone-deep cold.The air held a faint metallic tang. The room was empty—not a single lamp had been turned on for me.I stared at the white ceiling for a long time before it sank in that I was still alive.Beneath me, a patch of blood had already gone cold, sticky and nauseating.I closed my eyes. My chest felt sealed shut, but I had no tears left.He hadn't even called a doctor.It took everything I had to pull myself upright using the edge of the bed. My body felt hollowed out—as if everything inside me had been emptied.I braced myself against the frozen wall and inched forward, every step like walking on nothing. My vision went black in waves, my legs barely holding, yet I kept moving down the long corridor.I reached the stairwell—and through a half-open door, I heard their voices.The door wasn't fully closed. Warm golden light spilled through the crack, painfully bright.Jason's laugh was easy and indulgent—a mocking contrast to the coldness from before.Hi

Chapter 5

Elena's POVThe hospital lights were blinding—so white they hurt to look at.I sat on a bench in the corridor, held upright by willpower alone.The nurse froze when she saw me, her eyes dropping to the blood on my clothes."Do you... need help?" Her voice was cautious, startled.I nodded, barely audible."I had a miscarriage. I need a doctor."I lay there staring at the ceiling, waiting for an answer I already knew.The doctor's brow creased as she reviewed the results, her expression turning grave."The baby is gone," she said gently. "The fetus had hybrid blood, but you bled for too long. It was past the point of intervention."I nodded. No surprise. Just a hollow emptiness, as though everything inside me had been scraped out.The child that should have been mine was gone—without any chance to fight for it.The doctor studied me for a moment, seeming to recognize who I was. Something complicated flickered in her eyes."You're... Mrs. Valerie, aren't you? I've seen you before."I didn

Chapter 6

Jason's POVI slept badly that night. No dreams, but I kept waking up, unable to shake a restless unease I couldn't name.I tossed and turned, eyes opening and closing, and the thing that kept flashing through my mind was the way Elena had looked at me before she left.It was nothing like her. In ten years, she'd never been that quiet, that calm. She'd always cried, screamed, demanded answers—clinging to me even at her most desperate.Even in her worst moments, there'd always been something stubborn burning in her eyes.This time, there was nothing.That total emptiness unsettled me in ways I didn't want to examine.I sat up, frowning, and checked the time. Three in the morning. The estate was silent.I got up without thinking, didn't even register how fast I was walking—and the next thing I knew, I was standing outside her door.I paused for a second. Then pushed it open.It wasn't locked.The light came on, and everything was exposed: the empty bed, the faint metallic scent of blood

Chapter 7

Jason's POVI didn't waste another second. I went straight to the office, confirmed the damage, and called her father directly.The line connected. I kept my voice steady. "I'd like to talk."A pause on the other end. Then a flat, unhurried voice. "There's nothing to talk about."I gripped the phone harder. "We can renegotiate. The funding, the partnership—everything is on the table."A quiet laugh came through the line. "Jason. You still don't get it, do you?""This was never about terms.""I never accepted you as my son-in-law."The call went dead.I stared at the black screen, my expression darkening by the second.Just a human family. Just a funding withdrawal.I didn't need them.But that thought had barely formed when the doors to the conference room were thrown open.Several clan elders strode in, their presence suffocating. The air turned to stone.The one in front didn't bother with pleasantries. "Do you have any idea what you've done?"I said nothing."You couldn't even manag

Chapter 8

Jason's POVI didn't try calling her father again.Not because I didn't want to—because I couldn't get through.I stood in my study, staring at the phone screen, and eventually scrolled to another name.Elena.I called her number over and over—from morning to midnight—but it had been disconnected. Every attempt was met with the same cold, mechanical recording.She'd vanished. As if she'd been erased from the world entirely.I stared at the screen for a long time, my grip tightening around the phone. That unease I'd been shoving down clawed its way to the surface.Then I caught it—a faint trace in the air. Blood.I followed the scent out of the study, down the corridor, all the way to the top of the staircase. The trail sharpened there. A faint, dark smudge on the carpet—someone had cleaned it, but not well enough to fool me.It was her blood.If Elena had gotten up that night, she would have dragged herself to a hospital alone....The hospital lights were harsh. The antiseptic smell m

Chapter 9

Jason's POVJessica's wailing echoed through the corridor—begging at first, then spiraling into hysterics, each cry more shrill than the last. None of it slowed my steps."Jason, you can't do this to me! No matter what, this is still your child!"She clawed at the air, trying to grab hold of me, her voice trembling with raw terror.I didn't look back.The clan elders were already waiting at the door, their presence crushing the air out of the room. They watched me without a shred of emotion, waiting for my decision.Jessica hadn't just used forbidden arts to conceive—she'd caused the deformity in my child. The perfume she wore had masked the dark magic's scent, and that same interference had kept me from sensing that Elena was also pregnant.I spoke, and my own voice sounded foreign. "She's yours to deal with."Jessica went rigid. Then she shattered."What did you say? You're handing me over to them?"She lunged toward me, but hands caught her, held her down. Her voice cracked into som

Chapter 10

Elena's POVIt was over faster than I'd expected.I'd assumed the divorce would drag on—without Jason's signature, it should have been nearly impossible through normal channels.But once my father stepped in, everything moved with ruthless efficiency. The legal documents were finalized in record time. Every tie between the families was severed clean.I never saw Jason again. By the time I looked up, the marriage was already behind me.I stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the ocean, and felt a strange sense of unreality.Ten years of marriage, ended. No arguments. No tug-of-war. Not even a goodbye.From that day forward, I barely had time to wallow.My father placed a portion of the core business directly in my hands. Every day was a blur of meetings, contracts, and projects—an unrelenting pace that left no gap for anything else.I was rusty after so many years away. Some of my instincts were slow; some of my calls weren't sharp enough.I could feel it. But my father di
