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

Selene exited the carriage and made her way inside to get a better look now that Ruby and Trevor would not be in her way.

The guards were quick to pull everything from the walls and place it outside.

"I want all the things belonging to Paige packed neatly and set to the side. My battle was never with her," said Selene.

"You can trust her?" Xavier asked, following Selene.

"I don't know. I simply have to take her word for now. I have never spoken to Paige to know where her heart lies but she left without a fight. Her anger might turn to me and she could want the home back, but for now, she did nothing to me," Selene said, willing to give Paige the benefit of the doubt.

Selene touched the wall, running her fingers against it. "The walls used to be a different colour. There is much to do to get it back as it once was. Do you think the old painters would accept money to recreate our portraits?"

"For the right price they would," Xavier replied.
