Michael shook his head, backing away from her for a moment. He was still at war with the hybrid. It was trying to take back control. It wanted to take Selene’s life, take their daughter’s life, before she would have a chance to live. He didn’t trust himself around his mate, afraid that the hybrid would take control back. He whimpered, his body tense. “I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want to let it take control again…” He got up, and finally broke the chains that were binding Selene, but immediately, he backed away, afraid of hurting her.
she nearly falls to her knees once michael has helped her out of the restraints, but he’s already backing away from her. he’s afraid, and he needn’t be. ❛ michael, you won’t hurt me. ❜ despite such a claim, however, the vampires voice is shaky. then again, he’d been torturing her not minutes before; she needs to recover, regardless of her status of being immortal. one hand remains at her side while her other presses over her stomach, their child growing inside of her and unharmed. ❛ i know you won’t. ❜ she’ll step closer towards him, hand previously at her side extending to try and grab his own.
