If I had known that the one thing keeping me alive would force my bloodline to shut me out, I would've taken every single kiss on the neck and angst-filled night back until I would eventually regret it. After all, being bound to someone you never loved is better than everyone you did love cutting you out from their life. 

I suppose you could put the blame on me and my intolerable pangs of desire for the boy, but he was not entirely innocent either. Regulus Black was his name. The way it rolls off my tongue now almost seems wrong, as if it never belonged there. And it didn't. It was his brother's that belonged there. 

Sirius Black, the boy I never felt a single bit of hunger for. Sure, he was handsome and humorous, but I knew whom he truly craved for all along. His friend, a boy nearly six foot with long brown locks and face-framing glasses. Sirius would sneak out of the manor every so often to join the boy by the Womping Willow. I believe Remus was his name.  

I felt that the true moment I knew I loved Regulus was the night of my rehearsal dinner. Crude, I know. 

His frigid hands just barely slipped past mine, guiding me towards a nature I would soon mourn. His hair, a fragrance I couldn't quite touch and his skin almost silk-like. Deplorable behavior to anyone who had walked in. 

But it was his voice that sent me over. The unending affirmations of his affection towards me under hushed breath. 

It was just after then that it had all gone to ruin.
