PREFACE

I didn't expect that protecting my true love's virtue would lead to such a violent consequence. I'd saved Bella's life countless times before and succeeded, but this time I had little hope, as the cause of her agony was inside of her.
Guilt and remorse washed over me. How could I have been so selfish as to let her life be at such a risk? I would do anything for her to let me and Carlisle do something to get that killing monster out of her before it can do more damage than it already has to her.
Why did she have to love all of the wrong things? First she loved me, I don't object to that but she would have probably been better off if I had never existed. Then she finds she loves a werewolf, another creature capable of endangering her life whenever she with him. Then last but not least, she loves the half prone killing monster that's sucking Bella's life from inside of her.
