Violet_167

Selene Valor, a pureblood vampire,  entered a marriage of convenience with her husband Gabriel Valor to protect herself from relatives eyeing what was left of her family's wealth. Six months into their marriage, Gabriel is sent away to war to fight for the kingdom. As time went on, news of his victories spread across the kingdom and he was labelled a hero.

Nearly six months later, Selene eagerly awaits the return of her heroic husband. Upon his arrival, Selene is faced with betrayal as he brings home a woman named Cassandra Avery, a human who he introduces as his lover. Selene is heartbroken and tries to save what was left of her marriage but soon there is news of Gabriel wanting to take Cassandra as his second wife. 

Selene is left with the choice of accepting Gabriel’s wishes and staying protected or seeking a divorce. After a heated argument, Selene turns to someone she never expected to be her saviour. She finds refuge with Lord Xavier Blackthorn, another pureblood who seeks her hand in marriage. 

Will she forgive her first love or move on to accept Lord Blackthorn’s love?

Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord

"Milady? Are you certain you are fine?" Agnes asked.

It was another day in the kingdom and time for Selene to set out to the market for what she needed but again, Selene appeared troubled by something.

"I am fine," Selene assured Agnes. "I am just thinking."

"Is it about Lord Blackthorn going to see his family or about the invitation sent to you? It is too much of a coincidence in my eyes that you received another invitation so fast. Not that many ladies wouldn't want to meet with you," Agnes panicked, worried she had offended Selene.

"I know what you meant, Agnes. It is most likely the queen's doing. I will accept the invitation," Selene decided.

The new invitation was to the home of a well-known lady in town rather than the palace. Knowing she had to face these women at some point, Selene made the decision it was time to show who Selene Blackthorn was.
