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.

I lay sprawled across my bed gazing at the ceiling.

I had overreacted, I knew that. There was a better way for me to go about everything instead of the way I did. Still, it was so refreshing to be able to stand up to my ex-mother-in-law in the way I did. Sighing, I rolled over to the other side of the bed and propped myself up on my elbows.

A safe place...
