Sweetheart, I’ll carry you, push you, and still fucking worship you—so stop running." --------------‐- She craved a quiet life. He craved her. Elara never wanted chaos.

You don’t have to want me,” he said, voice low and final. “You just need to understand… you were never anyone else’s to begin with.” “If I was yours,” i whispered, “then why did you wait so long to come for me?” *** “Because…” he paused, stepping closer, “The next time I touched you, I knew I wouldn’t stop.” ***** Selene lives in the spotlight but her past is a blackout.

The slight tremble in her voice when she’s holding everything in. And he’s not playing fair—he never planned to. Selene resists his control. She challenges his presence. But no one has ever looked at her like this like she’s not just his obsession… but his purpose. As secrets rise from the ashes of her past, Selene is forced to face a brutal truth: Can she survive the reality of who she really is? Is Killian her protector—or her captor? And when obsession feels like love… Will she even care?

Xander added. “Love?” I spat. “You think loving me is enough to make me forget the trauma and years of hating? What about the undeserved punishments and how you picked Vera over me time and time again?”They flinched, but I didn't stop speaking. "Love doesn’t erase scars. Love doesn't undo pain, you self-righteous jerks! And sometimes—" With a stony expression, I met each of their gazes, one by one. “Love just isn’t enough." I stepped back holding my head high. "You want my heart? Earn it. I won’t just hand it over, not after what you all did to me." Then I turned and walked away, leaving them in the silence, and shame I had swallowed for years. It was time for them to earn my love and I wouldn't give it to them on a platter of gold. ** ** ** ** The Beta's Bastard. A lowly omega. Her mother's mistake. That was what she was known as.
