"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
As soon as Noah left the room followed by Reid, I quickly crossed the room to where Conrad was standing trying to look as distressed as I could while giving off the aura that I was scared.
"I…I didn't know you were going to come here," I said with a stutter giving him a small smile "Would you mind if I ask why you're here? You know, the conversation you had with Noah… not that I am demanding you tell me but I want to know, so…" I trailed off.
Conrad's eyes flashed with amusement as he came up close to me "Nothing important… I mean I could have told him a lot of things because you'd agree with me that there was so much to talk about especially after I realized that your visit to my hotel room last night was done without your mate's permission. I thought marriage was all about communication or did someone suddenly change the rules,".
