Esme's POVIt had been over a week since I woke up. I suffered second degree burns in different parts of my body, my back was mostly affected but they've all healed completely. My ability to heal really quickly stunned the doctor and she said not to worry about the scars because they would smoothen over time. She also provided an ointment made with a rare herb which would help with the discoloration.When I saw the scars in the mirror, it was a big blow to my self esteem. Despite the fact that I was lucky enough that my face was unharmed, I felt ugly because of the way my body looked but Ethan talked me out of it, stating that he didn't care about the scars.He told me that he had just as many scars but I still loved him and so in the same fashion, he would still care for me no matter what I looked like. It was the sweetest thing I had ever heard from him and I want to cherish that memory forever.We've been away from the Pack for a while due to the whole incident and Ethan's getting
Esme's POV"Norn please stop this, put the knife down and let's talk about this." I tried to persuade her but she wasn't ready to talk.She lunged forward towards me and I turned away, grabbing onto Ethan tightly and burying my head into his chest, awaiting what would most likely be my death.The sickening sound of flesh being sliced through echoed in my ear and my breath eluded me for a moment, until I realized that I couldn't feel any pain.I turned to see a horrible sight. Meredith had jumped right in front of Ethan and I and Norn had jammed the knife straight into her stomach.She tried to speak but only strained gasps came out as blood poured out of her mouth.She dropped to the floor, the knife still embedded deep within her flesh."Meredith!" Norn screamed in horror as she dropped to her knees, finally appearing to be back to her senses.She sat on the floor and raised Meredith's body up, placing the dying girl's head on her thighs."Meredith! Meredith, please open your eyes an
Esme's POVToday makes it exactly three months since I first came to this Pack and so far, I've made a bit of progress. Ethan and I are friends now, despite the fact that I had to go through hell and high water just to achieve that. He talks to me normally now, just like he would with Rachel but he still flips out when I try to pry into his past and he's still quite sensitive to touch and mostly prefers his personal space, unless when I use my injury as an advantage and want him close to comfort meI can't use my injury as an excuse anymore since I've healed completely and can now walk on my own. It had been weeks since I walked so it was difficult at first but I got used to it and had to learn how to walk all over again.I can walk just fine now, though I still have issues with running and the doctor said not to stress my legs too much because it'll all come to me eventually.Taking into account everything, I have only nine months left to achieve my goals and at this rate, it almost
Esme's POVI've been looking forward to my training with Ethan the entire day. It's already mid afternoon and he's yet to show. Maybe he's really busy today, he definitely couldn't have forgotten."Rather than bothering your brain by wondering about the possibilities you know you can just go see him and ask, right?" Solar commented and I smiled."You finally came around. Why'd you leave me hanging like that? Besides Ethan and Rachel you know you're the only one I have. You're part of me, both my family and companion so I always expect you to stand by me." I blurted, I couldn't help myself."I'm sorry. I was really scared we were going to lose our life during the whole incident, I was more scared of never getting to see Ren again. You died Esme and I was disconnected from you when you did. Though Selene restored me back with you when you woke up, it wasn't easy to cope. After being detached, I had to build our spiritual bond and energy.I felt a bit withdrawn, the thought of narrowly e
Esme's POV I woke up really early today so I could supervise and ensure that everything's ready for the party. After which I went to Ethan's room, he had woken up early as well and he was impressed when I showed him everything. Rachel woke up soon after and was surprised to see the both of us up so early. We simply gave excuses which she seemed to believe, she tried to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast but Ethan stopped her and told her that breakfast was already ready. She was stunned but Ethan didn't give her a chance to ask questions, he took her to the dining room, which was huge but barely used since Ethan liked having his food in the comfort of his room and eating alone on this huge dining table would be awkward so I usually had my food in my room as well. The table was filled with food, all which were covered, most of which were her favorites. Ethan told Rachel that we would all be eating together on the table today and she was very happy, probably thinking Ethan was do
Esme's POV I finally arrived at his room and managed to close the door behind me. I directed him to his bed and laid him down as carefully as I could. I sat down on the side of the bed to catch my breath. I should go take a bath and change, it's getting quite late. I need to rest early since there'll be lots of work to do tomorrow following the party and I don't want to leave it all to Rachel. I tried to stand up but was yanked back down as Ethan held onto my hand tightly. I tried to remove his hand from mine but his words made me pause. "Don't go, please stay with me." He whispered. He's drunk and probably has no idea what he's saying right now. I'll have fun teasing him tomorrow when I remind him of what he just said. He'll probably deny it or just outright ignore me but I'll still get a kick out of it. "I can't stay. I have to go to my own room and prepare for tomorrow." I answered and resumed trying to loosen his grip around my wrist. He shifted on the bed before sitting up
Esme's POV He pulled away from me and began taking off his clothes while I watched him, my heart racing. As soon as his shirt came off, I saw his muscled chest and I couldn't resist so I reached up and touched his skin, tracing my fingers over his soft skin, slowly caressing his scars as well. My mind was once again filled with unanswered questions. Just what happened to him? What could they have done to him to break him so much? To destroy his sense of emotion. I'm pretty sure it had to have been much more than physical torture. Although I can't take the pain or the memories away, I still want to know. I want to be one with him in every aspect of the word. My attention is seized once more when he grabs my hand and slips it into his pants. I try to flinch away when I feel his hard cock pulsing but he holds my hand in place, making me blush nervously. "You're distracted, Esme. I take words very seriously. When you give yourself to me, I expect every part of you, your body, mind and
Esme's POV I woke up in Ethan's arms and somehow, it felt like a dream. In an instant, I recalled everything that happened the previous day and I blushed upon remembering everything we did. I already crossed the devil's line and now there's no turning back, I just hope that this will only improve my relationship with Ethan. My body feels relaxed and a lot lighter, though I can't ignore the ache between my legs when I try to move them. He really went all out, I just hope I'll be able to walk properly today. If anyone figures it out then I'll probably die of embarrassment. It's pretty early and the sun is almost up so I should try to get things done. Ethan is still asleep but he looks so peaceful and handsome. I take a moment to stare at him in admiration, the beating of his heart and the rising and falling of his chest as he takes every breath is beautiful to watch. I'm tempted to touch him but I resist, knowing that he's a light sleeper so he might wake up if I do. I carefully mo
