Blood Bound to My Regret

Elena wakes on the night her stepsister Chloe drugged Julian, her childhood sweetheart, with a lust potion and left him in her room. In her last life she gave herself to him, and Chloe's jealousy led to a forced marriage to the cursed Lord of Eternal Night, who killed her. Julian blamed Elena and hated her for a century, until he burned to ash shielding her from a rival clan. Now she has returned to that same night, and this time she uses a blood-purification spell and a silver whip to break the potion's hold, refusing to repeat her past.

Chloe, who stole everything from Elena, turns their father Victor against her with a false accusation. Elena seizes the Blood Pact with the Evernight Empire and offers herself as the bride meant for Chloe, sealing it with her blood. Kneeling on the silver purification plate, she hears Julian vow to stop Chloe's sacrifice and complete their blood bond, unaware that Elena is already the one promised away. As she blackmails him into one last visit to their childhood clock tower, she prepares to leave her old life behind.
