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 continued to show Xavier around the home but eventually needed to leave if she wanted to meet Francesca on time. She left with Lucas and Xavier who suddenly had business in town.

Selene grew accustomed to the attention she would get when she reached the town because of Xavier's carriage. There was no way to hide her visit when riding around in the unique black carriage.

Xavier opened the carriage door for Selene and offered his hand to help her out.

Selene placed her hand on Xavier's to get out and right away started to look for Francesca.

"There she is," Selene said, finding Francesca standing near a carriage. "Will I need to wait for you when I am done? Are we going home in the carriage together?"

"No, I will find my way home. Stay close to Lucas and don't speak to strangers," said Xavier.

"I am not a child. I know to be alert in the town. You worry too much," Selene replied but she secretly appreciated it.
