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

"I can walk on my own. My feet are fine," said Selene, but her words proved useless.

Xavier ignored her offer to walk on her own two feet and carried her to bed. He set her down carefully and placed a cloth on her head so he could return the dry the wet ends of her hair.

"What must I look for you to wear now?" Xavier asked, taking on full responsibility for dressing her.

"Why? I can call for Agnes to dry me. I am sure she hasn't gone too far," Selene said, not wanting to trouble Xavier.

"I can do it so there isn't a third person in here with us," Xavier replied, wanting to keep it just the two of them. He was not ready to have someone else present to disturb the mood he and Selene created in the room.

"Then, you can bring me one of my night dresses so I can simply pull it over my head. I will get changed again if we must leave the room," Selene decided.
