All Chapters of The Blood Bond We Broke: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

10 Chapters

Chapter 1

Seven days from now, the blood bond between Caelan and me would finally dissolve.And when that day came, I would finally be able to leave the castle that had trapped me for five years.The moment I pushed open the banquet hall doors, the entire room fell silent for a second.Then all those eyes landed on me.Pity. Mockery. Amusement.I glanced down at myself. I had just finished my hospital internship, and the faint scent of disinfectant still clung to my clothes.At the far end of the long table sat Isolde Voss beside Caelan.Silver hair. Red lips. A black velvet gown.Simply sitting there, she fit perfectly into this world.And from the moment I entered, Caelan’s eyes never left her.“So the Prince finally brought back his real fiancée.”“That Claire’s just a human blood source. Did she seriously think she was the mistress of the castle?”“I heard she’s some poor student from a human medical school.”Soft laughter spread through the hall.I stood there silently.She was the fiancée.

Isolde moved into the castle.She walked straight to the deepest part, to the room Caelan and I shared, and glanced at the coffin where we slept together.“So Claire has been sleeping beside you all these years?”She slowly walked over, her fingertips brushing lightly along the edge of the coffin before she turned back to Caelan.“I like this room. Can I stay here?”Several servants nearby instinctively looked toward Caelan.He didn’t refuse.I could feel his gaze fall on me, but he said nothing.From that day on, the castle began preparing for their engagement ceremony.Blood roses. Pureblood ceremonial gowns.Caelan never involved himself in any of it, so the servants could only come to me for confirmation.I lowered my head and looked at the ancient family crest embossed on the invitations. The bride and groom printed inside were her and him.When I looked up again, Isolde was already directing servants across the grand hall.“I don’t like this color. Change it. Redecorate the east

My phone vibrated once.【Rio International Flight — Check-in Available】I stared at the notification for a long time.Caelan hated places like that. Heat. Sunlight.But for the first time in years, I finally felt like I could breathe again.For five years, I willingly became his blood source. I slept beside him in coffins.Waited for him to lower his head and drink from me. Waited for the occasional scraps of tenderness he tossed my way.All because of that single look he gave me in the darkness the night we first met.By the time I returned to the castle, most of my belongings had already been cleared out.Isolde disliked the scent of humans, so the servants moved everything into the west wing.In the now-empty room, only a small black velvet box remained on the bedside table. It was a gift from Caelan.Back then, I thought it meant something precious.Now, I only looked at it quietly for a few seconds before tossing it into the fireplace.The flames slowly swallowed the black velvet

Someone was pounding violently against my hotel room door.Before I could even get up, the door was kicked open.Caelan stood in the doorway, the cold night air still clinging to his black coat.“Claire Hartwell.” He walked toward me slowly, his voice low and dangerous.“How far exactly were you planning to run from me?”I instinctively stepped backward until my lower back hit the window ledge. There was nowhere left to retreat.His gaze swept across my neck, and I saw his throat move slightly.My chest tightened painfully. “Did you come here just because you wanted blood?”Caelan stared at me for a long moment before finally speaking.“You think I stayed with you for five years just to drink your blood?”I turned my face away. “If you want it, then take it.”His cold breath brushed against my neck. His fangs grazed lightly over my skin.My body trembled instinctively.But instead of biting me, he stopped.He only reached out and pulled me into his arms. “Come with me.”The abandoned o

The flight to Rio was now boarding.I looked at my phone one last time.No messages. No calls.And certainly nothing from Caelan.The announcement echoed through the terminal.“Flight 742 to Rio de Janeiro is now boarding.”I stood up.A sudden wave of nausea rolled through my stomach.Covering my mouth, I rushed into the restroom.Inside the stall, the violent retching left me barely able to stand.The woman staring back at me in the mirror hardly looked like myself anymore.Yet my hand drifted instinctively to my stomach.“Sorry.” I closed my eyes softly. “Mom's still getting used to this.”It was the first time I had called myself that.And the first time I truly realized that my future no longer belonged to me alone.Meanwhile. Vale Castle.The air inside the grand hall felt frozen.Every servant was kneeling. No one dared raise their head.A crash exploded from the study.Something shattered.The entire castle seemed to tremble.“Keep searching.”Caelan Vale's voice cut through th

Chapter 6

Caelan canceled the engagement ceremony.The entire vampire world exploded with rumors on the same day.Members of the Voss family came three times before sunset.The hallways buzzed with hushed conversations.Caelan met with no one.He only said one sentence. “Keep searching.”Caelan went to my room. But it was already empty.My clothes were gone. My books were gone.Even the photographs were gone.It was as if I had never existed there at all.Standing in the center of the room, Caelan felt a restlessness he had never experienced before.He opened the wardrobe. A dusty cardboard box tumbled out.Inside were stacks of yellowing documents.The first thing he saw was a diploma.Claire Hartwell. Outstanding Graduate.He kept turning pages.Academic conference invitations. Research fellowship offers. Exchange program admissions.Paris. Zurich. Tokyo. Rio.The pile grew thicker. His movements grew slower.For the first time, he realized how many places I could have gone.I never had to sta

“What did you just say?” Caelan looked up sharply.Isolde sat across from him, visibly nervous. She didn’t dare speak.Caelan stared at her. “Why did Claire think your child was mine?”The air froze. Isolde picked at the edge of her sleeve.After a long silence, she finally gathered the courage to answer.“Caelan, everyone thought that.”“Stop avoiding the question.” He stared at her. “I’m asking you.”The atmosphere instantly darkened.At last, Isolde lowered her eyes. “Yes. I never corrected her.”She hesitated. “And sometimes... I deliberately let her misunderstand.”Caelan’s expression darkened little by little. “Why?”She was silent for a long time before answering. “Because I didn’t want to lose you.”Her hand rested gently on her stomach. “When Ethan died, you promised him.”Her voice was barely above a whisper. “You promised you would take care of me and the baby.”Caelan said nothing.Ethan had died in front of him. His final act had been grabbing Caelan’s hand.The last word

Chapter 8

Early morning.Outside my apartment building. The same black car had been parked there for three days.I stepped out of the building.The window rolled down.“Get in.”“No.”“The medical school is forty minutes away.”“I know.”“It’s going to rain.”“I brought an umbrella.”Silence. He looked at me. Then got out of the car and pulled open the passenger door.“Claire. Get in.”“No.”The next second, he picked me up.“Caelan!”“You’re going to be late.”“Put me down!”“No.”The door slammed shut. The electronic lock clicked into place.I slapped the window in frustration.“Open the door!”Caelan started the engine, completely calm.“Rio isn’t safe.”“A pregnant woman shouldn’t be taking taxis alone.”“That’s none of your business!”Caelan stared at me.For a second, it looked like he wanted to snap back.Then he swallowed it.“You never used to refuse me.”“That was before.”Ten minutes later.“Pull over.”He hit the brakes immediately. “What happened?”I pressed a hand against my stoma

The sun was beginning to set.Caelan stood in the hallway, watching me.“Claire.” He hesitated.“Do you really think you were nothing more than a blood source to me?”I lowered my head and organized the papers in my bag.“It doesn’t matter anymore.”“It matters to me.”I didn’t answer. I turned and walked upstairs.Because now, no matter what the answer was, it couldn’t change those five years.That evening, the doorbell rang.I opened the door.Caelan stood outside holding a suitcase.“Claire. Can I stay here?”“No.”I started to close the door.A hand blocked it.Then my landlords suddenly appeared behind me.“Claire.” My landlady looked completely serious. “Half-blood pregnancies are already unstable.”“It’s better if the father stays nearby.”I looked at them. “He’s a vampire prince. Not an obstetrician.”My landlord nodded solemnly.“He can still be a driver. You should think about the baby.”The first night, he slept in the living room.Around midnight, I got up to get some water

Chapter 10

I returned to Vale Castle.Along the corridor, servants lowered their heads one after another.“My Lady.”“My Lady.”“My Lady.”The greeting spread down the hallway.Five years ago, when I first walked these corridors, they called me something else.Human. Blood source. The human who followed the Prince.Now the entire castle knew I was carrying the Prince’s only child.The irony wasn’t lost on me.Caelan stood at the far end of the hall.“This child is the only heir of the Vale family,” he said.“Pureblood or half-blood makes no difference.”I looked at him. Strangely calm.That was because this was his child.But what if it wasn’t?If I weren’t pregnant, would he have come to Rio?Would he have canceled the engagement ceremony?Would he have slept on the floor?Would he have learned how to apologize for the first time in his life?I didn’t know. And I wasn’t brave enough to gamble again.That night, I felt better.The ancient bloodline power flowing beneath the castle steadied the ch
