All Chapters of My Vampire Husband Never Believed Me, I Married Someone Else After Rebirth: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elena's POVBy the time I died, I had been bedridden for three months.The wound in my abdomen had long since scabbed over, but the dull ache never truly went away.The doctor said the silver bullet had done too much damage.I had been eight months pregnant, and surgery after so much blood loss had nearly destroyed my body.I would likely never be able to have children again.I listened in a daze. No one sat at my bedside. The husband whose life I had saved by taking that bullet was nowhere to be seen.At first, I told myself I was simply recovering slowly.Then the fevers started coming back.I couldn't keep food down.Later, I couldn't even sit up without the maid's help.The doctor came several times a day.They changed my medicine again and again.But everyone grew quieter around me.I knew.I probably didn't have much time left.In those three months, I only ever asked one question."Is Cassian coming today?"The maid always looked down."He's been very busy lately."The first wee

Elena's POVThe Elder Council convened three days later.The wound on my shoulder still hadn't fully healed.When I walked into the council chamber, my father deliberately slowed his pace."If you start feeling unwell, go back first."I nodded."I know."He glanced at me. There was clearly a lot he wanted to ask.Since the hospital, he had already asked me several times.Why I had suddenly agreed to end the engagement.Why I refused to give even one word of explanation.My answer was always the same."Since Cassian was the one who proposed marrying someone else, I don't want to force anything."My father clearly wasn't satisfied with this answer.But the matter had already reached the Elder Council, and there was no way to resolve it privately anymore.Cassian had arrived before us.He sat on the other side of the long table.Sophia wasn't qualified to attend this kind of meeting, so she wasn't there.When I entered, Cassian looked up at me.His gaze lingered on my shoulder for a momen

Elena's POVSophia came from a minor branch of the Ashford family. After her father's early death, her household had never been well off.Since she was close to my age, I had often invited her to stay with us over the years.Clothes, jewelry, gowns for banquets. If she wanted something, I rarely thought twice about it.Back then, I only felt sorry for her.It wasn't until she stood beside Cassian that I learned some people only want more the more they are given.A few days after the Elder Council approved the change in engagement, my father received an invitation from the Vale family.They were holding an engagement banquet for Cassian and Sophia.My father set the invitation on the table after reading it."You don't have to go. No one will say anything."I glanced at the invitation.A black wax seal stamped with the Vale family crest.I had received invitations like this many times before.Back then, I would start picking out my gown days in advance.I would think about what color Cas

Elena's POVThe day I left for the North happened to be the day of Cassian and Sophia's wedding.When I woke that morning, the sky over the vampire world was as overcast as ever, but the bustle in the streets was unlike any ordinary day.Carriages streamed past in the distance, the flower shops on both sides of the road had been nearly emptied, and even the maids at home couldn't help whispering that the Vale family had reserved the entire cathedral for the ceremony.I sat by the window and had the last trunk loaded onto the carriage.Nora fastened my cloak and asked quietly,"My lady, would you like to leave a little later?"I looked at her."Why?"She clearly hadn't expected the question."Today..."She didn't finish.I knew what she wanted to say.Today was Cassian's wedding.But that had nothing to do with me anymore."The waystations on the northern road have already been arranged. There's no reason to change plans at the last minute."Nora lowered her head."Yes, my lady."By the

Cassian's POVAfter the wedding, I didn't go to Sophia.Everyone assumed I should go comfort my shaken wife first.After all, the attack had thrown the entire cathedral into chaos, and they had all seen how pale she was.But as I stood in the devastated hall, the image of her turning and running kept replaying in my mind.When the guns fired, she hadn't looked back.She hadn't checked whether I was safe.She had simply, instinctively, moved away from danger.That was perfectly normal.She was human.She feared the silver bullets, and she feared death.Any ordinary person in that situation would choose to protect themselves.So why couldn't I shake the unease lodged in my chest?"Reopen the investigation into the previous hunter attack."I told the guard.He stiffened."Sir, you mean...""Everything."Routes, the hunters' movements, and the position of every person who was there."The guard didn't ask any more questions.Before long, the report was in my hands.I took it and went back t
