What Selene had just said, tore at Michael's immortal heart, rending it painfully. Michael
tried once more to touch his beloved mate, but the young Vampiress backed away from his
touch. "Selene you are not a monster my love. Please don't say such things…." The hybrid
tried to get through to her. But it was like the Vampire was dead inside, and that was
becoming heartbreakingly more true by each breath her ethereal body took.. Selene would not
listen, her eyes were their Vampiric blue, and the Vampiress bit herself on the arm, ashamed
of herself and what she had stood for, for so long... Michael stared at his beloved mate
horrified. Getting her hand away from her bared fangs as she was about to tear into her skin
again. Her mate growled sadly at her. "Stop it, Selene. You are hurting yourself.." Selene
bowed her head, limply, like an angel in prayer, but this was not a prayer, the Vampiress's
brave and tough spirit was breaking, so painfully breaking, pulling her further into the black
abyss of guilt and self-loathing.. "I don't care anymore, my pain is nothing compared to the
pain I put all those Lycans through… All the hurt, the rage, all the sadistic pleasure I took in
killing them. I was truly becoming a monster……" Michael was hurting at his angel's actions.
A single tear slipped from his light honey eyes.. Pulling Selene from the dark corner to him,
despite her protest, the hybrid held his mate tight but tenderly. Even as she fought futilely
against his superior strength desperately, pain leaking from her actions like a river. "You are
not a monster my love, I swear to you, you were never a monster. Please don't ever say that
again…" Selene gave up her useless struggling, feeling so utterly defeated and broken.
Michael was finally able to hold her, stroking her back as the female Vampire did her best to
fight the torrent of emotions flowing through her. The guilt that was tearing her apart piece-by-
piece, eating at her like sunlight would to her pale milky, skin. Michael got her to look in his
pale brown eyes, the pain he saw in her chocolate ovals sickened him with hatred for Viktor,
for he was the cause of it all. "Selene my love, it was Viktor not you who was the monster, he
lied to you, made you kill them, manipulated you like some sick toy, making you do his
disgustingly sadistic will. He tried so hard to fill you with his sick, twisted lies. All by lying to
you and pinning the blame of your noble family's demise on the Lycans.. It was he who was the
monster, not you my angel.." The hybrid kissed all the cuts and bruises on her arms and her
beautiful face lovingly, nuzzling her cool cheek with his, tenderly. To see his beloved so utterly
vulnerable and broken killed him inside. But Michael had broken through trying so hard to pull
her out of the icy caverns of suffering.. Selene looked at him sadly, as she wrapped her arms
around him. Her mate was her anchor, the only thing that kept the young Vampiress from
going over the edge. Michael held her protectively, wishing he could simply protect her from
her painful invisible demons. But he could only stand up and help her, giving Selene all his
love and support. And that was exactly what he would do. Picking his love up, cradling her
to his chest. Selene buried her face in his chest. Michael kissed her raven mane, whispering to
her with as much love as his young heart was capable of, "Remember my love, it was
Viktor not you, he is the monster. I love you with all my heart, never forget it." Selene
breathed something so soft, her voice thick with barely healing pain. Michael even with his
hybrid ears, had to strain to hear it, "Thank you for rescuing me my love."

This is my first story online that I have published so please be kind, but please Read and Review!!! Once again I want thank everybody who is reviewing, for their support. I really appreciate all the reviews, and please keep them coming. Sorry the last chapter was so short, I wanted to make a point with Selene but did not want to demean it by dragging it out.. This one as you can tell is longer. Still just a few little filler chapters right now. Working through poor Selene's emotional issues. I wanted to delve a little into Selene and Michael's characters, trying very hard to keep them in sinc with who they actually are. I am trying to truly convey Selene's tortured state of emotions currently and Michael trying to cope with her. I will keep spitting out chapters as fast as I can. It is a little hectic with finals coming. Yes its true, after I finish this fic, there will be a sequel, I am working on as we speak, but you have to wait till I am finished with this one first. (Evil Laughs) More to come soon!
Thanx!
