My Vampire Lord Mate Replaced Me on Mating Ceremony

Summary

Three days before my blood oath ceremony, someone planted a silver crucifix in the bridal shop and set it ablaze while I was inside trying on my ceremonial gown.

My fiancé — Vampire Lord Damien — had the arsonist thrown into the silver prison, sentencing them to the harshest punishment our laws allowed.

I lay in the healing chamber, my body covered in severe burns, refusing to wake fully as the reality of my disfigurement sank in.

In my semi-conscious state, I heard Damien speaking with the coven's apothecary.
