Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: To be loved (1)

Selene opened her eyes, awoken by a noise in the room.

"It’s me," Xavier said before she thought the worse. "You can go back to sleep."

Selene rubbed her eyes as she sat up. "I’m not tired. It’s still early," she said, glancing at the window.

It was still dark out, but it was early enough for Selene to get her day started.

"I have much to do, so I should get started now. Did you find my grandfather?" Selene asked. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"I did. I don’t think he is fond of me yet, but it is confirmed he has been keeping an eye on you. He is the one who killed Fiona, and he spoke of wanting to come for you when he learned your parents were killed, but since you were with Gabriel, he thought you would be safe there while he dealt with your parents," Xavier shared.

Selena focused on her grandfather being the one to kill Fiona.. Zephyr had been around Fiona in the past, so if he thought she needed to die, Selene wouldn’t question it.

"Are they well? My parents and grandfather. Have they spoken of us meeting now?" Selene said, desperate to see her family.

"Since we are still being followed by palace spies, for now it is best if you do not meet with them. They are dead to the town so we cannot make the mistake of having them spotted, but they will write to you and you may write to them," said Xavier.

Selene wanted to see her parents, but if being away from each other meant they would be safe, then she could keep doing it a little longer. "Thank you. Letters will do well to fill that void for now. I can finally relax knowing that they are well and with him."

"There is more. I spoke to him about your ability to heal. The Everharts can heal from holy weapons and enter churches, but they do not heal others. You are rare even amongst your family, so should the others know, they would want to take you away," Xavier said, stopping to give Selene a moment to take this in.

"I don’t," Selene stopped, but then continued, "Why would I be the only one to do this? I would have inherited it from my mother."

"I have talents said to have come from my grandfather and others not yet done by other purebloods. Our abilities grow over time, becoming stronger. Something new may come for the generation after us. You are now the first of your line to heal others," Xavier said, amazed by her talent.

"That makes it even more dangerous if the secret is to get out. With the war, everyone would come to us for help. Most wouldn’t even ask but try to force me to heal them. I don’t want to be pestered by the very vampires who ousted me," Selene said.

"And I won’t have you pestered by them. I will always keep you out of reach from them. If your family secrets get out, you will always be safe," Xavier promised.

Xavier didn’t trust each member of the Everharts family knew how to keep their mouths shut. There was always the one relative who had big plans which involved working with other purebloods.

It always ended with stabbing the family in the back to get more power.

Sharing the Everharts’ family secret would earn a big reward from the palace. Someone could be tempted.

Selene touched the palm of her hand. All this time, she had such a rare talent. It was hard to believe.
