"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.
Selene POV
This was the longest and most peaceful I've slept since I married Noah.
Maybe the thing they say about intimacy putting you in a good mood wasn't a fallacy after all. Stretching like a cat, I slowly opened my eyes, through my eyelids, I spied a face hovering over me. When I looked properly, it was Noah's face. His lips were smiling but his green eyes were filled with a desperate vulnerability that seemed to pull me into their depths.
"Hey," He murmured, reaching out to brush a few stray curls from my cheeks and eyes affectionately. "Did you sleep well?"
"Better than ever," I gave him a bright smile and began to stretch languidly again. But Noah caught my hand and brought it to his lips, his lips brushing ever so gently against my knuckles sending a delicious shiver down my spine. I inhaled deeply as I readied myself for a kiss, Last night was the best night I've ever had and I didn't want it to change.
