00:02Chloe, I'm divorcing Elias.
00:03Are you divorcing yours too?
00:05Yes.
00:05I didn't hesitate.
00:06The reason was simple.
00:07If you're leaving, I'm leaving.
00:09I was an absolute sister girl.
00:11Where Avery went, I went.
00:12She married that tombstone cold vampire lord from the Vale family.
00:16So I married his younger brother.
00:18She became the vampire lord's wife.
00:20I became the younger Vale bride.
00:21Now she wanted a divorce.
00:23Of course I wasn't stay without her.
00:24That night...
00:25I want a divorce.
00:26My bad-tempered vampire husband's eyes burned red.
00:30Fangs bared.
00:32I never betrayed you.
00:34Why the hell am I getting divorced?
00:36The Vales weren't just ordinary old noble family.
00:39They were vampires.
00:41An ancient bloodline that had ruled the eastern realm for centuries.
00:44And Avery and I had somehow married right into it.
00:46Today, Elias Vale had become the subject of every rumor in the city.
00:50The rumors were about him and Lila Monroe, his former blood bond candidate.
00:54The woman everyone said he had never gotten over.
00:57Chloe, I'm divorcing Elias.
01:00Are you?
01:00If you're leaving, I'm leaving.
01:02Avery wasn't surprised.
01:03Fine.
01:04I'll have the contract screwler draw up the divorce papers.
01:06Go pack.
01:08And headed for the master suite to pack.
01:10I followed her upstairs at an unhurried pace.
01:12Honestly, I wasn't worried.
01:14It was only a divorce.
01:15Not the end of the world.
01:17Besides, I'd never been good at making decisions alone.
01:19If Avery said we were leaving, we were leaving.
01:24Avery and I weren't blood sisters.
01:26I lost my whole family in a massive earthquake.
01:29Avery's parents found me in a relief camp and took me home.
01:31For a long time after that, I was like a broken doll.
01:34I barely spoke, never went out, and flinched at every sound.
01:37Avery was two years older.
01:38From day one, she claimed me like a little wolf guarding her territory.
01:42No one was allowed near me.
01:43Once, someone locked me in a bathroom and dumped cold water over my head.
01:46Avery found a bucket of filthy water and drenched the culprit from head to toe.
01:50Someone hid my books.
01:51She threw their whole school bag into a mud pit beside the stables.
01:54Someone yanked out my hair.
01:56At lunch, Avery took scissors and cut a bald patch into their hair.
01:59Whenever I was bullied, Avery was always the first one there.
02:01After she started protecting me, no one dared touch me again.
02:05But she was two grades ahead.
02:06Eventually, one fear kept growing.
02:08What if she left for the Royal Capital Academy?
02:10Who would protect me then?
02:12So I made a very important decision.
02:13I would go there with her.
02:14I finished years of coursework early and caught up to Avery.
02:17We took the entrance tells together and enrolled in the same academy.
02:21We even chose the same major.
02:22Fashion and sigil design.
02:23The reason was simple.
02:25I wanted us in the same dorm.
02:28After graduation, Avery found a noble patron, and we opened our own atelier.
02:33She was the face of it.
02:34The model.
02:35The client charmer.
02:36The deal maker.
02:37I sketched, cut patterns, altered gowns, and stayed up sewing every last detail.
02:42Avery was our sharp, beautiful creative director.
02:44I was the little seamstress hiding behind her.
02:47Three years later, the atelier had made a name for itself.
02:50We grew from custom gowns into high-end ready-to-wear.
02:53Then, Avery married our patron, Elias Vale.
02:55The head of House Vale.
02:56One of the Eastern Realm's oldest vampire families.
02:59The ancient vampire lord at the center of the knight court for centuries.
03:03Mines, estates, jewels, spices, physician's towers.
03:06His name was on all of it.
03:08The blood vaults, the knight hall, and the underground tribunal belonged to him too.
03:11Their wedding shook the entire Eastern Realm.
03:14Not long after, I followed suit and married Elias' younger brother, Jace Vale.
03:18Yes, that Jace Vale.
03:20The Vale family's famous lunatic.
03:25A knight court hunter, a reckless noble playboy, owner of the knight hall, tabloid magnet, and his face looked like
03:31a god had sculpted it illegally.
03:32He was also a vampire, nothing like Elias.
03:35Jace was wild, wicked, and impossible to tame.
03:37A sweet, harmless girl like me had no chance of winning a man like him the normal way.
03:40So I chose a different method.
03:42I staged an accident.
03:43For days, I visited Avery and Elias' newlywed castle.
03:47Officially, I was there for free meals.
03:49Really?
03:49I was waiting for Jake's.
03:51Then one day, he came.
03:52As his black carriage rolled out of the courtyard, I timed it perfectly and threw myself in front of it.
03:57The world spun.
03:58The carriage barely clipped me.
04:00I still let myself tumble a couple of feet.
04:02Avery reached me first and pulled me into her arms, panic all over her face.
04:06Chloe, are you okay?
04:07Where does it hurt?
04:08I curled into her.
04:09My head hurts, my arm hurts, my leg hurts, everything hurts.
04:13Avery knew me too well.
04:14One look at my dramatic little act and she knew I was faking it.
04:17But instinctively, she still took my side and turned on her brother-in-law.
04:22Jace leaned against the carriage door, one brow raised.
04:25Pretty thing, I didn't even urge the horses on.
04:28His voice was lazy and wicked.
04:29You threw yourself in front of my carriage?
04:31I don't care, you hit me, you're taking responsibility!
04:35Elias finally ended the farce.
04:37Jace, take her to the physician's tower.
04:39Jace feared no one but his brother.
04:41He scooped me up, tossed me into the carriage, and drove off.
04:44The carriage flew so fast, my soul nearly left my body.
04:47Slow down!
04:49Can't.
04:49If we get there too late, that tiny scrape on your knee will heal.
04:52Then I'll have wasted the trip.
04:54Shit, don't look at me like that.
04:57Tell me, what was today's little stunt about?
04:59What else could I do but tell the truth?
05:01I want to marry you.
05:04For a second.
05:04Didn't see that coming.
05:06You're tiny, but you've got big ambitions.
05:08Plenty of women want to marry me.
05:10You'd better hold on tight.
05:11So I reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt.
05:13What are you doing?
05:14Didn't you tell me to hold on tight?
05:16Shit.
05:17I still don't know what drew him to me.
05:18Later, I learned vampires were high-sense of descent.
05:21To Jace, my blood smelled like like something addicted.
05:24Roses, honey, pomegranate.
05:26Warm berries split open.
05:28Too sweet.
05:29Too dangerous.
05:30Three days later, he took me to the night court and registered our marriage pact.
05:35I didn't ask why.
05:36I didn't want to.
05:37The outcome was what mattered.
05:39From then on, I got to live at the Vale Castle with Avery.
05:45Vampires weren't made for daylight.
05:46The sun wouldn't kill them.
05:48But strong light made them miserable.
05:50So Jace lived almost entirely at night.
05:52He was the classic playboy noble.
05:54Night court jobs, hunting, and night banquets filled his life.
05:57Honestly, he looked like a man living off his brother.
06:00So my logic was simple.
06:01Jace lived off Elias.
06:03I lived off Jace.
06:04Which meant, I lived off Elias too.
06:06Perfectly sound reasoning.
06:08Besides, Elias gave Avery two chests of gold every month for spending money.
06:12Jace had a family trust, income from his estates, and night court bounties.
06:16He spent wildly.
06:17But he was fair.
06:18He gave me half of everything.
06:20So my money bags grew heavier every month without me lifting a finger.
06:24After two years of marriage, I had enough gold to fill several chests.
06:28Lying on a leather sofa that practically smelled like money, I often thought,
06:31Being a sister girl?
06:33Absolutely worth it.
06:36Then today, the rumor portrait appeared.
06:38Avery said she was divorcing Elias.
06:40So I started packing too.
06:42Our two-story dressing room was packed with clothes and jewelry.
06:45I filled five large trunks and barely made a dent.
06:48Exhausted, I sat on the carpet.
06:50Avery, I have too many clothes.
06:51I can't pack them all.
06:53Do you have any spare trunks?
06:54You're packing by yourself?
06:56Yeah.
06:57You told me to pack.
06:58I hired a professional maid team.
07:00They'll be there soon.
07:02See?
07:03I really couldn't live without Avery.
07:06Pack your identity papers, a copy of your marriage pact, and the jewelry in the safe.
07:10Leave the rest to them.
07:10Okay.
07:11I obediently started sorting my documents and jewelry.
07:14I was only halfway through when Javois came from behind me.
07:16What are you doing?
07:22I nearly dropped the copy of our marriage pact.
07:25I'm packing.
07:26Jace walked in, shrugging out of his coat.
07:29New clothes don't fit.
07:33I'll make room in my section.
07:35He started shifting his pitifully small collection of clothes.
07:38No.
07:40I'm moving out.
07:44What does that mean?
07:46My sister's getting divorced, so I'm leaving too.
07:49He turned to me slowly.
07:53And?
07:57And we're getting divorced too.
07:59The next second, Jace pinned me beside a glass display case.
08:03His eyes seemed to burn red beneath the night.
08:05When he lowered his head, his icy breath brushed my neck.
08:10Chloe Quinn.
08:12Go on.
08:13Say that again.
08:21Clearly, he was angry.
08:23That night, I went from crying and begging for mercy to rasping out.
08:26By morning, my eyes were swollen, my waist ached, and my legs felt too weak to move.
08:31Vampires healed absurdly fast, but the red marks I'd left were still there.
08:35He deliberately kept them.
08:37Every bit of fight I had in me last night had ended up on his body.
08:40When he saw I was awake, his voice was rough with sleep.
08:43Still want a divorce?
08:45No.
08:46Then, his hands started wandering lower.
08:48Good girl.
08:49I grabbed his wrist so fast, my eyes stung.
08:52I said I'm not divorcing you.
08:55Consider it your reward.
08:57He had no humanity at all.
08:59Then again, he wasn't human.
09:04I had to divorce him.
09:08Otherwise, I was going to die in bed.
09:10Near noon, after Jace left, I finally dragged myself downstairs for food.
09:14One hand on the wall.
09:15I'd missed breakfast.
09:17The Vale kitchen staff were exceptional.
09:19Separate chefs handled every meal and dessert.
09:21The underground cold room also held supplies for vampires, rare blood types, and high-end blood
09:26drinks for night court banquet.
09:27I usually pretended I didn't know.
09:29Avery was checking the Atelier's accounts.
09:32Don't mistake being young for being invincible.
09:34Show some restraint.
09:38I swear, it wasn't me!
09:40Jace is the one who went crazy.
09:42I couldn't fight him off.
09:46He forced you?
09:50Then what are we waiting for?
09:51Divorce him!
09:52She immediately told a maid to have her contract scrivener bring the dissolution papers over
09:57today.
10:00Meals this good were about to become rare.
10:03Avery and I were terrible cooks.
10:06A chicken falling into a pot by itself would probably taste better than anything we made.
10:11Not long after lunch, Avery's contract scrivener rushed over.
10:15Have you both thought this through?
10:17Yes.
10:22Cheating trash.
10:24Whoever wants him can have him.
10:26I copied her and quickly signed mine.
10:30Avery, let's go.
10:31If Jake comes back, I'm scared we won't get away.
10:35Avery never wasted time.
10:36She grabbed her cloak and went upstairs for her luggage.
10:38My ladies, please reconsider.
10:40If you leave like this, what am I supposed to tell the masters?
10:43He looked worse than a vampire in sunlight as he stared at the two dissolution papers.
10:47So, when Jace came home that night and found the castle empty, he nearly tore the living
10:52room apart.
10:52They said an entire antique wine cabinet cracked them.
10:56An angry vampire was terrifying.
10:59Avery and I had bought our own small estates long ago.
11:02Our homes faced each other, with only a garden between them.
11:05Neighbors, technically.
11:07Practically, roommates.
11:08And Avery had never stopped working.
11:10She turned our atelier into a real high-end fashion brand.
11:13One that made steady profit.
11:14As always, she split the money with me, 50-50.
11:17Last year, she even opened a little private restaurant just for me.
11:21She knew I didn't love spending every day sketching and sewing.
11:24I loved eating more.
11:25The restaurant was only a 10-minute walk from home.
11:27I had to admit, Avery had been preparing to leave Housevale for a long time.
11:32Men are unreliable.
11:34No one is more dependable than yourself.
11:36Even if the man was rich, handsome, and an ancient vampire.
11:40As for a hopeless little sister like me, I only had to keep following her.
11:43She'd already planned every road ahead.
11:45I just had to walk in her footsteps.
11:49Without Jace, I had much more energy during the day.
11:52Avery even gave me a behind-the-scenes tasting job.
11:55The setup was simple.
11:56I ate.
11:56My partner explained the dishes to guests.
12:00Within days, our once-quiet little restaurant exploded.
12:04Private dinners were booked through next month.
12:06I loved the job.
12:07I couldn't cook, but I could eat.
12:09Sometimes, I'd go to the kitchen and seriously discuss flavors with the chef.
12:13Our guests were enthusiastic, too.
12:15Their strange suggestions often inspired new dishes.
12:17And apparently, I made food look delicious.
12:20Before long, the restaurant had a loyal following.
12:23Travelers even came from other cities just to see the little lady taste test.
12:26I was thrilled.
12:27Life without Jace felt like being reborn.
12:29Until Elias finally returned from his trip.
12:34The second Elias returned to the main castle, he saw the two dissolution papers on the long table.
12:39Beside them sat Jace, reeking of alcohol and looking thunderous.
12:43A dark red residue clung to the bottom of his silver goblet like fresh blood.
12:47What happened?
12:48Oliver immediately stepped forward and explained everything.
12:52Cheating?
12:54Who started that rumor?
12:57You're asking who?
12:59That portrait of you and Lila at the Night Hall is all over the Eastern Realm.
13:04Seriously, is the one who got away really that good?
13:06You're still reheating leftovers from ten years ago?
13:09You made your own mess and got me divorced, too.
13:12When Jace saw the portrait, he'd assumed Elias had gone back to Lila.
13:15Lila had been Elias' first love.
13:17She was also the woman who had nearly become House Vale's official blood bond consort.
13:23Their romance had been legendary.
13:25So had their breakup.
13:27Everyone thought Elias would never get over it.
13:29Vampires could be obsessive.
13:31Once they fixated on someone, they could carry that name for decades.
13:34So no one expected Elias to marry Avery.
13:37I was away negotiating a territory acquisition.
13:41Lila was brought by one of the other parties.
13:43To me, she is nothing but a stranger.
13:45Where did this story about us drinking together come from?
13:48Really?
13:49Then go explain it to Avery.
13:51She refuses my ravens.
13:52Send word to Chloe.
13:54She refuses mine, too.
13:56Pathetic.
13:57Then he ordered the Night Guard to find Avery.
13:59Jace sat there for a long moment before muttering,
14:01Shit.
14:05When are we making the dissolution official?
14:07Next week, when I'm free.
14:08That cheating bastard hasn't contacted me anyway.
14:11You refused his ravens.
14:13How is he supposed to contact you?
14:15Fair point.
14:16If someone truly wanted to reach you, they'd find a way.
14:19Unlike me.
14:20To keep Jace from finding me, I'd even changed my usual routes.
14:23Though I knew that probably meant nothing to a vampire.
14:26Especially when I still carried the Veil Bond scent.
14:29Still, a girl needed some sense of ceremony.
14:32You've put on weight these past few days.
14:35Come to the Night Hall with me tonight.
14:37I have business there.
14:38I'll get you a private room.
14:40Then we'll go home together.
14:41Okay.
14:42As long as Avery took me, I'd go anywhere.
14:47The Night Hall was in the Royal City's most expensive Blackstone Tower.
14:51It was better known as Nocturno.
14:52The lighting, perfume, music, and wine all screamed money.
14:56They also made it clear.
14:58Sunlight never reached this place.
15:00Avery led me into a dim, lavish private room.
15:03To keep me entertained, she hired two handsome attendants.
15:06One sang.
15:07The other danced.
15:09Both were gorgeous and knew exactly how to make a guest happy.
15:12Avery's bag of gold had been well spent.
15:14I lounged on the sofa and accepted a grape from a handsome attendant's fingers.
15:18The other even popped open a bottle of ale using his abs.
15:22I was reaching for it when the private room door slashed open.
15:25Chloe!
15:28Oh no.
15:29How had he found me?
15:30His eyes darkened as if they might turn red at any second.
15:33That was when I remembered what the Night Court called him.
15:36The Crimson Hound.
15:38He hadn't found me through a messenger.
15:39How could you do this to me?
15:41He had followed my scent.
15:43I really was afraid of him.
15:44Especially when he was angry at night.
15:46I didn't do anything.
15:48I was just waiting here for my sister.
15:50Ask anyone here if you don't believe me.
15:53Elias came in right behind him.
15:54In dark formal wear, he carried enough authority to silence the whole room.
15:58A vampire lord didn't need to raise his voice to be terrifying.
16:01Where's your sister?
16:02Next door, discussing business.
16:05Leave.
16:06Jace sat beside me, one long leg trapping me between him and the armrest.
16:10Having fun drinking with your pretty boys?
16:15I didn't drink.
16:16But you wanted to.
16:18You reached for it.
16:19I didn't.
16:19I don't want it.
16:20Stop accusing me.
16:21I hadn't taken one sip.
16:23I wasn't taking the blame for something I didn't do.
16:26Jace gave a cold laugh and leaned closer.
16:28It kept closing in until I sank into the sofa.
16:31He smelled of night wind, leather, cold pine, and blood drink.
16:34Okay, Chloe.
16:36You've gotten bold.
16:38Disappearing.
16:38Changing routes.
16:40Hiring attendants.
16:41Drinking with pretty boys.
16:43What other surprises have you been hiding from me?
16:45My survival instinct kicked in full force.
16:48Nothing.
16:48Really.
16:49It's my first time here.
16:51Maybe my painfully sincere eyes calmed him down.
16:53Jace finally stopped pressing me and pulled me into his lap.
16:56His hands spread across my waist and stomach, terrifyingly hot.
17:02Vampires were supposed to run cold.
17:04But every time Jace touched me, he felt like fire.
17:08Especially when he leaned over my neck, his fangs barely grazing my skin.
17:12Help.
