On the day of our bonding ceremony, my blood bound, Alaric, took the eternal vows with his true love right before my eyes—his true love, who had only a few years left to live.
He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “I arranged a wolf attack on Elara so that she couldn't arrive at the ceremony on time, and I’ll take the Eternal Vows with you first.”
“By our Clan’s law, since I took the vows with you first, you are my legal wedlock, whereas Elara is just a mistress.” He added.
Everyone cheered and blessed them as he pulled her in his arms and kissed her passionately.
I witnessed all of this, but I didn't cry or kick up a fuss.
I've loved Alaric for decades, but I still couldn’t compare to Celeste, a half-blood vampire, created by my father.
If that's the case, I'll let him go.
Later, I joined the mortal world far away from our Clan. All that I left behind was a miscarriage report with my baby’s DNA , who couldn’t survive the wolf attack they had planned for me.
Alaric had never cared for me, so it's odd that he would lose his mind over the loss of a child I bore for him.
