"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.
I and Emilia stood in stunned silence, trying to process what had just happened. Emilia was the first to break, a sob escaping her as she sank to the floor.
"This is all my fault," she whispered, echoing Lucius's earlier words. "If I hadn't … if we hadn't…".
I sighed and knelt beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulders. "No, Emilia. This isn't your fault, or Lucius's. We were all deceived by the spell used by Jared and Jade. Blaming ourselves won't help Selene or the pack.
As Emilia's sobs subsided, I helped her to her feet. "Come on," I said gently "It's not a crime to be in love and to express your love. These few months, knowing that I have finally found a mate, something I didn't think was possible… I've been at my happiest. Although, there's still some resistance from Lucius but we're perfect together. We cannot hide what we feel for each other,".
