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

The next day, Selene woke to her body pressed against Xavier's. It was a common theme in the morning which she had yet to figure out if it was Xavier's doing or if she had a habit of seeking him out in her sleep.

How did she go from sleeping near the edge of the bed to lying in the centre with her head lying on his chest?

Selene made no attempts to be sneaky getting out of bed since it was likely Xavier was already awake. She wouldn't fall for this a second time but before she left the bed, Selene pinched his hand. It had not left her mind that he was getting over the effects of almost going into a deep slumber.

"Will it be a habit for you to pinch me in the morning?" Xavier asked, holding her hand to stop her from leaving the bed. The sky wasn't bright so he didn't see any reason to leave their bed yet. "I am fine," he said, knowing the reason behind the pinch.
