"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
We both turned to see Noah standing a few paces away, his face drawn and tense. He looked like he hadn't slept and his eyes flicked between us with an intensity that made my stomach churn.
"Noah!" I greeted, my voice softer now, followed by an awkwardness since our interactions yesterday. "Good morning."
Lucius glanced between us and cleared his throat. "I'll give you two some space," he said, stepping back before turning and disappearing into the pack house.
I watched him go before turning back to Noah. His gaze was still fixed on me as though he was searching for something he couldn't quite find.
"I've been looking for you, for a moment I thought it was all a dream and that you hadn't come home yet," he said, his voice strained. "Where have you been?"
"Just… out for a walk," I replied, my tone guarded.
