The Wife the Vampire Chose to Lose

"My father had always been against my marriage to Ryan Kane, a vampire of noble birth.He believed that as a human, I had no place in the vampire world. He warned me that if Ryan ever changed his mind, without his protection, my half-blood child and I would be nothing more than walking blood bags in the eyes of vampires.But I believed in Ryan—and in our love.My husband had always been gentle and attentive. He had even defied everyone to make me, a human, his vampire bride.That was before Ryan's human ex-fiancée had her engagement called off and returned to the country seeking his help.I went to the hospital alone. While I was learning that my pregnancy was high-risk, Ryan was there attending her prenatal checkup, even introducing her to the doctor as his wife.All he had for me was one cold line: "Keep pushing me and I'll file for divorce."I pressed my hand against my stomach and dialed a number I hadn't called in years. "Dad, you were right... I want a divorce."Two weeks. That was all it would take for me to disappear from his life completely.But later—that same vampire who had discarded me like I was nothing showed up at my wedding to another man, trembling all over, calling my name in a broken voice."
