I Left My Vampire Husband and Married a Better Man, Now He Regrets Everything

Elena's POVI was born into the noble Montclair family, a bloodline that had forged marriage alliances with pureblood vampire aristocracy for generations.Only the women of our family carried the rare blood that could bond with vampires and produce hybrids capable of walking in the sun.At my coming-of-age ball, I fell in love at first sight with Jason—heir candidate to the Valerie vampire dynasty.I should have married him without any fuss and fulfilled the alliance. But my father opposed it.I was young and headstrong. I refused to give Jason up—even if it meant severing ties with my own family.I told myself that with enough patience, I could make Jason love me.I was wrong. For ten years, he treated me like I didn't exist—his unwanted alliance wife, nothing more than air.He told me I was the type of person he despised most—the kind who won't leave him alone the most.He told me he would never love me.I slipped the pregnancy report into my pocket without a word, one hand resting p

Elena's POVJason saw the silence in my eyes and a flicker of irritation crossed his face."Stop making a scene. Your parents had an arranged marriage too, and they each did their own thing. You don't need to stand here pretending to be hurt."My fists clenched. I clenched my jaw so hard my teeth ached, glaring at him through burning eyes.He knew this was my deepest wound—and he'd ripped it open without hesitation.Part of the reason I'd defied my father and chosen a vampire was because I truly believed in their nature.Vampires were loyal to their mates—forever.I had desperately wanted that kind of marriage, that kind of love. I'd believed that one day, Jason would feel the same.But I was wrong.He'd married me under duress, and all he wanted was a hybrid heir.Every way I'd tried to please him only made him despise me more—a clingy woman who couldn't even produce a child.To disgust me and make me give up sooner, he'd never even bothered finding a steady companion. Instead, he bro

Elena's POVThe hospital lights were blinding—so white they hurt to look at.I sat on a bench in the corridor, held upright by willpower alone.The nurse froze when she saw me, her eyes dropping to the blood on my clothes."Do you... need help?" Her voice was cautious, startled.I nodded, barely audible."I had a miscarriage. I need a doctor."I lay there staring at the ceiling, waiting for an answer I already knew.The doctor's brow creased as she reviewed the results, her expression turning grave."The baby is gone," she said gently. "The fetus had hybrid blood, but you bled for too long. It was past the point of intervention."I nodded. No surprise. Just a hollow emptiness, as though everything inside me had been scraped out.The child that should have been mine was gone—without any chance to fight for it.The doctor studied me for a moment, seeming to recognize who I was. Something complicated flickered in her eyes."You're... Mrs. Valerie, aren't you? I've seen you before."I didn

Jason's POVI didn't waste another second. I went straight to the office, confirmed the damage, and called her father directly.The line connected. I kept my voice steady. "I'd like to talk."A pause on the other end. Then a flat, unhurried voice. "There's nothing to talk about."I gripped the phone harder. "We can renegotiate. The funding, the partnership—everything is on the table."A quiet laugh came through the line. "Jason. You still don't get it, do you?""This was never about terms.""I never accepted you as my son-in-law."The call went dead.I stared at the black screen, my expression darkening by the second.Just a human family. Just a funding withdrawal.I didn't need them.But that thought had barely formed when the doors to the conference room were thrown open.Several clan elders strode in, their presence suffocating. The air turned to stone.The one in front didn't bother with pleasantries. "Do you have any idea what you've done?"I said nothing."You couldn't even manag

Jason's POVJessica's wailing echoed through the corridor—begging at first, then spiraling into hysterics, each cry more shrill than the last. None of it slowed my steps."Jason, you can't do this to me! No matter what, this is still your child!"She clawed at the air, trying to grab hold of me, her voice trembling with raw terror.I didn't look back.The clan elders were already waiting at the door, their presence crushing the air out of the room. They watched me without a shred of emotion, waiting for my decision.Jessica hadn't just used forbidden arts to conceive—she'd caused the deformity in my child. The perfume she wore had masked the dark magic's scent, and that same interference had kept me from sensing that Elena was also pregnant.I spoke, and my own voice sounded foreign. "She's yours to deal with."Jessica went rigid. Then she shattered."What did you say? You're handing me over to them?"She lunged toward me, but hands caught her, held her down. Her voice cracked into som
