Violet_167

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

Gabriel hated that the king no longer accepted his request for a private talk. Even when he managed to get a glimpse of the king in the palace, the servants around the king claimed Darius was too busy even though Gabriel knew he wasn't.

What happened to the king helping him to rise above Xavier?

Gabriel hated to think that he would soon be forgotten with the king not acknowledging him. All the celebrations for the war were dying down so if Gabriel didn't do something grand soon, he feared he would be a forgotten hero.

Gabriel failed to make connections in the palace since he didn't appear to be a man useful to others. Had Darius given him a bit of attention then the other men in the palace might think it was worth getting close to Gabriel.

Gabriel struck the target again, this time shattering it. "I'm still stuck," he grumbled.
