My sister Isolde and I used to be human. The twin vampire princes, Caelum and Dorian, turned us and married us. The entire vampire world celebrated. Two human sisters, personally turned by the Crown Princes? It was the highest honor a mortal could receive. We believed we were loved. We were fools. Five months into my pregnancy, I was attacked by a group of exiled vampires in the forest beyond our territory. I called Caelum nine times. He didn’t pick up. The exiles circled me, cutting into my arms and legs with blades that burned. Pain tore through my body. I called a tenth time. This time, Caelum’s cold voice came through: “Haven’t you had enough? Vivienne is being tracked by hunters. Stop bothering me.” Vivienne was the human girl that both princes truly loved. The one who had refused to be turned. With nothing to stop them now, the exiles closed in. Their leader drove a blade into my stomach. I watched the light leave my body from the inside out, and felt my unborn child die. When I was close to death, my sister Isolde found me and fought the exiles off. But there were too many. Isolde was badly wounded. She called her husband Dorian for help. All she got was: “Looking for Vivienne. Don’t bother me.” Isolde carried me and ran. A storm hit and we were caught in the open at dawn—deadly for wounded vampires. The border patrol found us just in time. We barely survived. When I woke up in the infirmary, my first thought was simple: Sever the bond.

Damien und seine ehemalige Frau hatten sich vor fünf Jahren getrennt — ich heiratete ihn später. Als wir heiraten wollten, hatte er bereits eine dreizehnjährige Adoptivtochter namens Lily. Nach unserer Ehe zeigte Damien mir große Zuneigung, während ich Lily stets wie meine eigene Tochter behandelte. Auch wenn sie mir ab und zu Feindseligkeit entgegenbrachte, schenkte ich ihr keine Beachtung. Solches Verhalten ist für ein junges Mädchen verständlich. Als mein Vater versehentlich von einem Auto getroffen und im Wachkoma blieb, hörte ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen Damien und seinem Assistenten mit. „Chef, ich verstehe es nicht — warum blockiert du die Schädeloperation?“, fragte der Assistent verwirrt, „Die Ärzte gehen davon aus, dass er sich erholen kann. Warum hältst du dich an eine konservativ Behandlung fest?“ „Er darf nicht aufwachen“, sagte Damiens mit gedämpfter Stimme. „Er hat Lilys Gesicht gesehen.“ Ich presste meine Hand fest über den Mund, sodass die Fingernägel tief in mein Fleisch drangen. Lily war die Adoptivtochter von Damien und seiner verstorbenen ehemaligen Frau Sarah. Sarah starb, als sie Damien rettete — aus diesem Grund zeigte er Lily stets eine Mischung aus Schuldgefühl und völliger Nachsicht. Damien fuhr fort, seine Stimme klang unendlich wirr und zerrissen. „Aber Lily hat es nicht absichtlich getan! Sie ist erst 13 Jahre alt — einen Eintrag im Strafregister würde ihr Leben ruinieren. Sarahs letzter Wunsch war, dass ich Lily betreute und sie gesund und unversehrt erwachsen ließ. Ich kann sie nicht allein lassen.“ Der Assistent schwieg einige Sekunden. „Was passiert mit deiner Frau?“ „Ich werde ihr alles entschädigen“, sagte Damien mit sanfterer Stimme. „Ich schenke ihr ein wohlhabendes Leben und sichere für ihren Vater — der bei dem Unfall verletzt wurde — das größte Private zimmer sowie die besten Pfleger. Die Kosten spielen für mich keine Rolle.“ Mein Herz sank tief. Weil du dich Sarah und Lily schuldig fühlst, opferst du meinen Vater? Mit zitternden Händen sicherte ich die Aufzeichnung und bat meinen Anwalt, die Scheidungsvereinbarung vorzubereiten. Als ich schließlich spurlos verschwand, verlor der einst mächtige Geschäftsführer die Fassung.

A week before our marking ceremony, I told Ethan Stormwind I wanted to break up at his friend's party. Everyone laughed. They all knew that for the past six years, my life's goal had been to become his marked Luna. With only a week left until the ceremony, how could I possibly want to break up? Even Ethan thought I was being unreasonable. "Just because I need to take Selene to the healer for her follow-up on our ceremony day, you're throwing a tantrum about breaking up?" "We're both adults. Can you act more mature? You could just reschedule the ceremony. Why do you insist on that specific day? I don't have time for your jealous games." I nodded silently. Yes, something needed to be changed. But it wasn't the ceremony date. It was him. I was going to accept someone else's mark instead.

"Mrs. Sterling, are you sure you're ready to end this marriage of twenty years and give up the custody?" "Yes. File it. I’m done." I said calmly through the phone as I scrubbed at a stubborn grease stain on the granite island. For twenty years, I poured my entire being into this family. I managed the households, handled the children's education , and stood by my husband's side, supporting his rise in the syndicate without complaint. But my husband Alexander brought his young adopted sister Chloe to the interview, saying, "My success today is all thanks to my adopted sister." Even my own children looked down on me, calling me common and crude housewife. They had formed an alliance with his ever-present "auntie," the woman who seemed to think she was the true lady of the house. I signed the divorce papers and walked away, leaving them to become the "perfect family" they clearly wanted. But that when the family panicked…
