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

"Your hand," Selene noticed. She turned his hand to see his palm. "It has healed. It wasn't as serious as I thought," she said, relieved that she no longer had to worry. "It has happened to me once when my body took a while to heal a small cut."

Xavier stared at his hand, confused as to how it had healed when the holy weapon had left the mark. It couldn't have been his doing.

Selene noticed Xavier did not share her excitement that his hand was now headed. "Did you want your hand to stay bruised? Is it a victory scar?"

Selene once witnessed vampires in the army complain amongst themselves that a scar they got from a victory had healed. Was it the same for Xavier?

"No," Xavier looked away from his hand. "I'm surprised it took so long to heal. It is good it is all better."
