"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.

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.

Tangled Hearts - The Alpha's Baby Mama

A strained silence fell over the room as all three of us turned to Conrad in one swift motion.

My heart thudded heavily in my chest as I studied his expression. I was expecting anything from him but this, announcing the death of his brother. We were hoping and banking on him keeping it a secret as one of the tools we could use to exploit him and bend him to our will, so to speak. But him coming out to confess, meant we had to change our plans.

"I don't understand," I said with a morose expression "King Tanner is dead? Is that even possible, Conrad? Everyone knows are immortal so tell me how Tanner is dead except…" I trailed off as the realization hit me.

Lycan were immortals no doubt but there was a way to make them ordinary. It was ancient and almost impossible but if it was Kurtis that killed him then it could only mean one thing. I shook my head to clear the thoughts as I faced Conrad again.

Was he sick?
