After Rebirth, I Gave My Vampire Fiancé Back to His Human Lover
Adrian and I grew up together. We were the match every old vampire family swore was meant to be.
Then he saved a human girl who had wandered into our territory while hunters were closing in.
After that, he became someone else. Cold. Distant. A stranger to me.
Then he knelt before the Elders and asked them to dissolve our engagement.
"The one I love is Clara. I can't marry Elena."
The Council was furious. They forced Clara back into the human world and warned her never to set foot in vampire territory again.
To keep her safe, Adrian married me anyway, and never saw her again.
After the wedding, I gave him everything I had.
I miscarried again and again. I nearly died bringing his heir into the world, his heart never turned to me.
Three years later, hunters came for us. I fought tooth and nail to save him, yet I still failed.
As he died, he held my hand, his voice barely there.
"If there's a next life, I hope I never meet you."
"All I ever wanted was to let everything go and be with Clara."
He died first. My own wounds took me soon after.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the family council.
Adrian was kneeling before the Elders, begging them to let him be with the human girl.
Everyone expected me to fall apart.
But this time, I only slid the engagement ring off my finger and set it down in front of him.
"Adrian. You can have her."
