Tangled Hearts - The Alpha's Baby Mama
"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.
The one who's not family...
Selene POV
I left the tent and went straight to Noah who was sprawled in the makeshift hospital. His hands were thrown over his face careless and he seemed to be fast asleep. Quietly, I settled myself beside him, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear… he looked so peaceful as he slept.
A few hours ago, was chaotic and I knew that if I kept staying with Xavier, we would keep being in trouble. Yes, I didn't love Noah… but these things take time, don't they? I've loved only one man my entire life… so I wasn't an expert in this field but I was willing to give love a chance with Noah.
I would love him... and cherish him, and let him mark me. This time, I wasn't going to give in to the spoilt whims of the girls… They wouldn't understand the sacrifices I was making for them until they were older.
