Levinne
Five years ago, I married Cassian, the vampire I had grown up with.
We had known each other since we were children, and both clans were glad of the match.
I believed we would stay beside each other the way we had promised when we were small.
Then Cassian fell in love with a human maid.
By that time, I was already carrying his child.
He turned on his own clan for her anyway and ran off with her to the human world.
Everyone was laughing at me.
I stayed behind in the vampire territories alone, pregnant, calling Cassian more times than I could count and sending people out to find him.
He never came back.
In the end, he refused even to hear any news of me. He only had someone deliver a message.
"Stop chasing after me."
My health got worse and worse in those years.
I lost the baby too.
It took me a long time to finally let go of that marriage for good.
Then, five years later, Cassian came back.
He had brought her with him.
When he saw my son standing beside me, he actually frowned and asked, "How could you raise my child like this? He's four and he looks two."
I stepped in front of my son, my voice flat.
"Look closely, Cassian. He isn't yours."
His face darkened.
"You're still trying to lie to me?"
I smiled.
"He's the son I have with my current husband."
