"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
The hatred burning through their gazes was so intense that it made the hall stuffy, but I stood my ground, staring at Noah who was disoriented. At that moment, I could tell he felt small, he couldn't even look at me and that is how it works with men… when they feel like they cannot protect you, it takes a huge chunk of their egos away.
My gaze strayed to Leonard who has been quiet through everything. There was no expression on his face either so it was difficult to tell if he was ecstatic with the way everything was turning or if he was angry because they were bullying his son in his presence.
A few moments later, my newly appointed PA arrived with a flash drive. I thanked her and asked her to leave with also the servants present in the hall. When I was sure that the people present in the hall were just the pack elders, officials and me and Noah, I walked over to the projector and inserted the drive.
