Tangled Hearts - The Alpha's Baby Mama
"Did you think healing me would make me love you more?" He scoffed grabbing my hair as he pulled me towards the door. "You're hurting me, Xavier," I cried beating against him weakly. There was not much I could do. "If I ever see you an inch close to me," He threw me against the wall "I'll damn the consequences and kill you,". *** My mate and I were destined to hate each other, only an act of true love or selflessness from the stronger mate could set our destines on the right path but for seven years, I had to put up with my mate's abuse and his supposed love of his life until one day I decided to leave. I left, determined to stay hidden from him forever... but I found out I was pregnant few weeks later.
Newfound revelation...
Selene POV
Noah winced, the sting of her words hitting harder than any physical blow. He knew he deserved it—knew that nothing he could say would undo the damage. But he had to try, had to make me understand how powerless he'd felt in that moment. "Selene, it wasn't like that," he began, his voice breaking with emotion. "I was… I was tricked.

I turned away again, focusing on the window as I blinked back the tears threatening to spill over. I didn't want to cry, not now, not in front of him. "I just don't understand how you could be so blind, Noah."
Noah ran a hand through his hair, frustration bubbling inside him. "I wish I could take it back," he said desperately. "I wish I could go back and stop it from happening, but I can't. I hate myself for this, Selene. More than you could ever hate me."
