"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.

I left, determined to stay hidden from him forever... but I found out I was pregnant few weeks later.

Tangled Hearts - The Alpha's Baby Mama

The room seemed to blur and a rush of memories flooded into my mind, rushing in all at once.

My breath caught in my throat as a minty, fruity scent wafted up my nose, bringing tears to my eyes. For three years, I sought to remember how Selene smelt, the first image that flashed my eyes was the wedding scene that kept hunting my dreams for three years.

The world was colourful now...
