"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 Alphas were in good spirits and in no time, the table became empty.
As they sat back, picking their teeth, everyone seemed to be in a relaxed mode, Xavier rose to his feet, clinking his glass with a spoon to get everyone's attention.
"Thank you all for making time to grace this occasion. I'm truly grateful for your patience especially and for running the council while I was gone. At the beginning, I mentioned that a few things would change and the first one would be the venue,".
The Alphas exchanged a confused look. Kyle, Alpha of the Shadow hunt pack finally spoke up.
"By Venue? What do you mean?"
"Starting from the next meeting which would be at the end of the week, our meeting venue would no longer be at the Regional Council Hall, it will be held rather in my pack and we would continue hosting each meeting rotationally,".
