What If She Hates Me? 2
Selena reached out and took my hand, her grip strong, anchoring. “Then make her one of us.”
My breath caught. I stared at her.
“Turn her?” I asked, voice cracking.
She nodded. “Give her the chance to be by your side. To choose the pain and the beauty of what we are.”
“But what if she hates me for it?” I said. “What if she doesn’t want to be a monster?”
“You’re not a monster, Adam,” she said quietly. “And neither is she. If she loves you, she’ll understand. And if she doesn’t… at least you gave her the truth.”
For a moment, I didn’t answer. Her fingers wrapped around mine, warm and familiar. In her eyes, I saw the history we shared years of friendship, quiet loyalty, unspoken wounds.
“I wish you were my mate,” I murmured. “Maybe we could’ve run away together. Escaped all of this.”
Selena’s laughter was soft, tinged with sadness. “I’m bonded to Stephen, Adam. That tie can’t be undone.”
“He doesn’t treat you right,” I said, my voice hardening. “You deserve better.”
“And you think that’s you?” she teased, arching a brow.
I gave a half-shrug, smile faltering. “We could go somewhere far. You, me, the baby. Start fresh. You’d be safe.”
She paused, her fingers drifting to the curve of her belly. “Maybe I would’ve considered it… once. But I’m about to bring a child into this world. I can’t make that choice now.”
Her words cut deep, but I nodded. I couldn’t ask her to run not now. Not with so much at stake.
Then came the voice.
Low. Cold. Venomous.
“That wouldn’t be so nice of you, Adam… trying to steal my woman.”
I froze.
That voice.
My spine stiffened as I turned slowly.
Stephen stood at the edge of the path, arms crossed, his eyes gleaming with fury. His jaw was tight, fists clenched, the air around him crackling with the promise of violence.
His gaze burned straight through me.
And I knew.
This wasn’t going to end in words.
