I grew up alongside another vampire noble heir, Kael.

Because of an important alliance between our families,we were betrothed when we were very young.

For as long as I can remember, Kael was my protector.

He was loyal to me.

From childhood, he treated me as his future wife.

I believed we would stay together forever.

Until the day he brought a human blood servant before me.

“Elena. I am calling off the engagement. The one I have always loved is Sylvia.”

I refused to accept it.

I would not believe he had stopped loving me.

In the end, our parents resolved everything for us.

Kael returned to my side.

I never imagined the truth, that he married me only for revenge.

The human blood servant who was said to be dead was secretly brought back to life, while my life was drained away to make it happen.

She even bore him twins.

As for the children I carried for him, he had already killed it.

He replaced it with the half blood twins born of that human woman.

He killed me with a cross.

And watched as my life faded away.

After my death, my family was framed by him.

Every last one of them was slaughtered.

When I opened my eyes again,

I had returned to the day he asked to cancel our engagement.

This time, I smiled.

I agreed.

And chose to walk out of his world.

But when I came home to marry the man I truly loved, Kael appeared at my wedding.

“Elena,” he asked, his voice breaking, “why don’t you love me anymore?”

Elena’s POV

When I descended into this world as a pure blood vampire, I already knew that Kael would be my mate.

My father told me that Kael’s father was his longtime friend, the alliance between our families would bring immeasurable wealth.

My mother told me that the moment Kael was born, he foresaw that I was his destined wife.

My parents believed I would be as happy as they were.

Sharing immortality.

Sharing love.

So I always regarded Kael as my future husband.

I gave him all my devotion and care.

Until that day.

He appeared before me with a human blood servant.

His eyes were cold.

There was no trace of the love he once had for me.

“Elena, I am canceling the engagement.

The one I have always loved is Sylvia.”

Sylvia.

A low ranked blood servant he had mentioned to me before.

She had entered vampire territory because of poverty and hunger.

She begged Kael to turn her into a blood servant.

I wanted to persuade Kael to send her back to the human settlements.

But Kael seemed moved by her fragility and stubbornness.

In the vampire world, low ranked blood servants are living blood supplies.

They face the risk of death at any moment.

So Kael kept her by his side for protection.

He even refused to see me for three months, only because I said I wanted to send the human away.

I thought Kael was only acting out of temporary sympathy.

I believed he would soon return her to a safe place.

But the next time we met, he asked to end our engagement.

“She is different from you.She needs my protection.I will turn Sylvia.Do not stand in my way.”

I could not believe it.

The gentle and composed Kael wanted to turn a human without the elders’ approval.

He denied our love and fell in love with a human instead.

I could not accept it.

So I told everything to our parents.

Later, the human woman was sent back to human territory by my family.

She was even given generous compensation.

But after that, Sylvia trespassed into vampire territory again.

This time, she was not so lucky.

She was drained of blood by several low level vampires.

When Kael learned of her death, he fell into a silence like death itself.

He stopped feeding on blood.

Several times, he tried to walk into the sunlight to die with her.

I still loved him.

So I abandoned everything.

I even defied my family and stood by his side.

Kael’s starvation and his defiance of his father had already become public knowledge.

He almost lost his right of inheritance.

It was I who stayed with him every day.

I used my family’s wealth to seek rare medicines to heal his body.

I cried and begged him to stay alive.

It was also I who argued with his father.

I promised I would bring Kael back to himself.

I begged his father not to expel him from the territory.

Months later, Kael finally spoke to me again.

The warmth and light returned to his eyes.

He gave me a weak smile.

“Elena, thank you.”

“You made me see your love.”

At that moment, I believed everything had finally returned to the right path.

I thought I had recovered our love.

Soon after, we got married.

I even gave birth to adorable vampire twins for him.

But gradually, my body began to fail.

I even showed signs of aging.

That day, as I lay in a sickbed, Kael entered the house holding a familiar woman’s hand.

Sylvia.

She was not dead.

When I saw her crimson eyes,

I smelled a familiar scent on her.

The scent of blood.

My blood.

“Elena, thank you. For exchanging your blood with mine. Your blood turned me into a vampire.”

Sylvia leaned against Kael’s chest, smiling sweetly.

I recalled all the years after our marriage.

Every time I lay down in my coffin to sleep, my body always felt unbearably heavy.

The cold disgust in Kael’s eyes confirmed my suspicion.

Before I could even break down, I saw a scene that shattered my heart.

My twins ran happily into Sylvia’s arms.

They clung to her and called her mother.

“My children…my children…”

Hearing my broken sobs,

Kael laughed softly.

“Your children were killed by me on the day they were born. These two are the children Sylvia and I conceived.”

He looked down at me from above, a vicious smile appeared on his face.

“Sylvia was successfully turned yesterday.You are no longer useful now. So why don’t you die now?”

He stared at me coldly.

And drove a cross into my throat.

At some point, I had already lost the speed and strength of a vampire.

I could only watch as everything before me blurred away.

“It was your disgusting love that ruined my life with Sylvia.”

He whispered to me.

“Do not be afraid.Your parents will soon join you.They will not escape either.”

After my death, he successfully inherited his family’s wealth and power.

He framed my family.

My entire clan was slaughtered.

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day he asked to break off our engagement.

Elena’s POV

Outside Kael’s study, the weather was as gloomy as ever.

I could almost still feel the pain in my throat.

I blinked several times before the scene before me became clear.

“Elena, I am calling off our engagement.”

Kael stood up and pulled the frightened Sylvia into his arms.

He noticed my trembling hands.

The way he looked at me slowly turned wary.

“Elena, I know you are unwilling to accept this.But the one I love is Sylvia.I have only ever regarded you as an important family member.I cared for you like an older brother would.”

His blood red eyes locked onto mine.

“I will not allow anyone to hurt her.”

I looked down at my hands.

Smooth and firm.

There was no trace of decay.

The lightness and strength flowing through my body calmed me.

“I will protect Sylvia. If you stand against me, I will show you no mercy.”

As he spoke, I saw his fangs begin to show.

At that moment, Sylvia suddenly knelt down.

She burst into tears before she even spoke.

“I am sorry. I should never have appeared by Kael’s side. Please do not kill me.”

As she spoke, she clutched her abdomen in pain.

As if I had done something to her.

But I only looked at Kael with calm crimson eyes.

It was him who spoke the word love to me.

It was him who kissed me first.

It was also him who told me he would always protect me.

That he would defend my eternity with his life.

So why did everything change the moment this human appeared.

Why did she become the fragile victim and I have to become the relentless villain?

From childhood to now, everyone believed we were destined to be together.

Now, all of it felt absurd and laughable.

“Since you insist, then I wish you and Sylvia happiness.”

I maintained a composed and elegant posture.

Completely different from how I clung to him in my previous life.

“I am the most cherished daughter of the Valemont family. I will never compete with a human for a husband.”

“It was you who said you loved me and earned the right to approach me. Now that your heart has changed, I will not keep you.”

Kael froze.

My words clearly caught him off guard.

“What did you say.”

He stepped toward me without thinking.

“Stop being petty. We can stay the same as before. I will still treat you as an important family member.”

Kael lifted his hand, reaching for my hair out of habit.

I avoided him instantly.

I clenched my fists, cherishing this vampire strength with all my heart.

This time, I would not be foolish enough to push myself into despair again.

Elena’s POV

When I went back home, I wrapped my arms tightly around my parents.

In my previous life, when I ignored their advice and insisted on staying by Kael’s side, my family had already been hurt by my choices.

They still supported me from behind, yet I could feel the distance and awkwardness in our conversations.

I was the one who betrayed their kindness.

I chose to stay with a vampire regarded as a disgrace.

In the end, I even caused their tragic deaths.

They spoke in hurried concern,“Elena, what is it, did something happen?”

I shook my head.

“It’s nothing. I just missed you……so much.”

My mother brought a towel and gently dried my hair.

My father sat nearby, repeatedly asking if I had encountered anything upsetting.

My parents had always doted on me.

They had always supported every decision I made unconditionally.

In my previous life, I had distanced myself from such a lovely family for Kael.

After a moment of thought, I decided to tell them the truth.

Kael had chosen to cancel the engagement, and I did not oppose it.

They fell silent for a brief moment.

“Elena, it’s good that you were able to think it through on your own. Kael and that human have already become the laughingstock of everyone.”

My mother held my hand.

“This is my daughter. No matter what decision you make, you will always be my only heir.”

“Breaking off the engagement is fine. Kael is already seen as a disgrace among vampires. Even if he had not brought it up, we would have.”

I smiled and teased my father.

“If Kael and I don’t marry, what about the cooperation between our families?”

To my surprise, my father looked at me seriously.

“My daughter is exceptional. You don’t need to rely on cooperation with anyone.”

Hearing the certainty and pride in his voice, my eyes grew moist.

I took a quiet breath and pressed the surge of emotion down.

“Then,” my voice was clear and steady, carrying the strength of renewal, “let me begin by making decisions that truly benefit our family.”

In just three months, I would be fully prepared to leave the sphere of Kael’s family power.

After that,

I would have nothing to do with Kael ever again.
