Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 46
Esme's POV Life has been wonderful thus far. Ethan and I have finally settled our differences and we've become closer than ever. He even shares his plans with me and asks for advice about certain things before making a decision. It's really nice to be relied on. My sex life has also been amazing. I'm having to compensate for his years of celibacy because we have sex often and usually more than once at a time, his stamina is off the charts. But I can't complain though because I enjoy every bit of it, he always puts my satisfaction above everything else and I could have never asked for a better mate. When life is rosy, we often lose track of time. Looking at the calendar right now, I almost can't believe the one year period is almost up. I have less than a week before the stipulated time of our bet expires and though I'm confident that Ethan feels the same way as me, I still have my doubts. I believe that life becomes a little bit easier if we always remind the people we care about
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 47
Esme's POV The moment of truth is finally here. I had a nightmare last night and I've been having a bad feeling all morning. My stomach is twisting in knots as I walk into the throne room. Ethan's seated on his throne, going through some documents. He raises his head as soon as he hears my footsteps. "Esme, is there a problem?" He asked, noticing the worried look on my face. Where do I even begin? Why is he acting like everything is fine? Like today won't determine the rest of my life? "You know why I'm here, Ethan. What is your decision?" I asked directly, choosing to hit the nail on the head. My anxiety only increases by the minute. "My decision? About what? What are you referring to?" "Today marks my one year period with you and this brings our bet to an end so what is the outcome? Did I succeed in winning your heart? Have you fallen in love with me or have I failed completely?" I asked and he looked away, seemingly agitated. I had never seen him with such an expression. He'

Ethan's POV Alexei kept rambling on about Alpha Cullin's proposal but I found myself continuously distracted. "Excuse me, Alpha but are you even listening?" He questioned and I finally turned my attention over to him. "We should discuss this later, I'm not in the right state of mind to talk about this right now." I answered and he nodded, taking a bow. "As you wish, Alpha." He responded and just then, the doors to the room threw open and Rachel stormed in. "Ethan, I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting but we have to talk right now." She said in a stern voice. She had never done this before. She always called me Alpha in the presence of everyone else but only called me by my name in private and she had never once raised her voice to me but rather than get angry about this, I felt nervous. Probably because I know exactly what this is about. The others in the room stared at her wide eyed but I gave the order and all of them left immediately, leaving Rachel and I alone in the room.
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 49
Esme's POV We've been on the road for a while and I'm starting to feel tired. I can't help but feel strange, like something bad is about to happen. Is it because I'm leaving? Or is this normal with pregnancy? "How far have we gone?" I asked the head warrior. "We've just crossed the border so we're completely out of Moon Blood territory. Where would you like to go?" He asked back. "What are my options? Which Packs are close by and friendly?" "There's only three Packs that are close and they're the Lamia Pack, Ash River Pack and Lock Heart Pack. They're all small Packs with no issues." He stated. "In your opinion, which would be better to live in?" I questioned. "You want my opinion?" He asked, surprised. "Yes, you live in the Moon Blood Pack and they're your neighbors so I thought you'd know them well. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you by asking." I quickly apologized. "No, not at all. I'm just not used to people asking me about my opinion. I think the Lamia Pack would be best. Th

Esme's POV "You're not lying, are you? This isn't a prank, right? It isn't a dream?" I asked, tears gathering in my eyes. "It's not, it's all real. I'll say it as many times as you want me to. I love you Esme and I never want to let you go." He said, his voice displaying his sincerity. "But why so suddenly? Why are you realizing this only now? Did you have to put me through all this first? Did I have to face death one more time before you finally accepted it?" I asked, tears rolling down my cheeks. "I'm so sorry, Esme. I'm really an idiot, I didn't realize sooner because I chose to turn a blind eye to it. I thought letting myself love and expressing that love would be a weakness but now I know better. You're my greatest strength and I'll do anything to keep you by my side. I never wanted to hurt you or put you in harm's way, I was just so scared." He said. "Scared of what? That I would betray you? That I would sell all your secrets to your enemies? Do you really think so little o

Esme's POV "Esme." I heard him call my name and take my hand in his so I opened my eyes. "Is what you're saying true?" He asked and I nodded. I mean who would even joke about something like that? He took a deep breath and in a split second, pulled me towards him and carried me in his arms bridal style, spinning me around. "Ethan, please stop. I'm starting to feel dizzy." I pleaded as I began to feel dizzy and nauseated. He stopped and put me down, gently helping me sit on the bed while I tried to recover. "I'm sorry I overreacted, I'm just so happy to hear the news." He apologized and I looked at him in surprise. "Really? You're not mad?" I asked, bewildered. "What would make you even think that? Of course I'm not angry." He corrected me. "Well, you've never really talked about having children and things are still a little strained between us so I was afraid….." I tried to explain but he stopped me by placing a hand over my mouth. "Listen to me Esme, you've just given me th

Esme's POVEthan returned with the doctor and she officially congratulated us both on the pregnancy. Ethan asked if the baby was healthy and the doctor assured us that everything was fine. She told Ethan to take really good care of me as this is my first pregnancy and it might be hard for me, especially due to the stress I had undergone lately.She also gave a list of foods I should eat, some exercises and things not to do during my pregnancy. She said she would come to give me a check up every week and I should call on her instantly if I experience any bleeding or discomfort. Ethan and I thanked her and she left.Preparations for our ceremony have been going on and not too surprisingly, Rachel is the most excited.Ethan has been with me every step of the way and everything has been going smoothly but deep down, I'm afraid that something might go wrong. I don't want to jinx my own happiness by thinking negatively but I can't seem to dismiss the feeling that a bigger storm is coming in
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 53
Ethan's POVWords can't express how happy I am today. When I saw her walking towards me, beautifully dressed and looking like an angel, my heart fluttered.I could sense a warm feeling growing in my chest and my heartbeat was accelerating. It felt amazing, reminding me that I am indeed alive. The past few years of my life, I wasn't living, I was merely surviving. I kept pushing on with the thought that if I conquered more Packs, became the most powerful Alpha in existence, it would somehow make up for all I had lost.But then she came along and despite all the opposition, turned me over to the light and made me realize what I was missing.I didn't need more blood and more power, I only needed love, a shoulder to fall on when I grew exhausted of having to carry all the responsibilities and bottle up all my pain. Accepting my feelings for her felt like a huge burden had been lifted from my heart. And though I'll never forget all the things that have happened to me in the Past, I've le

Esme's POV"Uh…. How do we get down? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall there being a rope in the bag." I said."There isn't. There has to be some kind of way through it since there isn't a way around it. I'll take a look." He said and moved away and though I wanted to stop him, I resisted the urge."It's just as I thought." I suddenly heard him blurt out."Did you find something?" I asked as I made my way to the spot which he was crouched over."There's a rope ladder here. It's been set securely in place and seems to go all the way down." He mentioned it to me and I touched the ladder, confirming how sturdy it was. I didn't know if to consider this a good thing.A prepared ladder just sitting around waiting here for us might not be a good sign, I don't even know what we should expect."Who could have put it here?" I asked briskly."I don't know and I don't think we should be worrying about that at the moment. We'll have to get down and keep our guard up since there's so much

Esme's POV Tanika. Alpha Waylen. Nightwalker Pack. These words kept swirling in my head. The things she had just said, none of them made any sense. I have no business with Tanika and the Night Walker Pack. Besides, Tanika is dead, Ethan said he killed her himself. Even if she survived by some miracle, what on earth would she be doing in the Forbidden Zone? She couldn't possibly be the one standing in front of me, this has to be a trick. I need to get this girl, whoever she is to leave me alone and I have to find Axel so we can get out of this hole as soon as possible. "That's not possible, you're lying." I blurted. "Arlene, why would you say that?" She asked and tried to touch my face but I dodged her advances. "Don't call me that and stay away from me. I need to get out of here, I have to find Axel." I said and limped away, trying to go as far away as I could from her but her next words paused me in my tracks. "Don't you want to know the truth? The truth of your existence? Don

Esme's POVA wonderful aroma tickled my senses, causing me to turn sideways but my eyes forced open when a sharp pain from my leg hit me.I groaned and tossed the blanket wrapped around me to the side before rising a bit, carefully sitting up. I feel really groggy and my body isn't even cooperating. I scratched at my eyes and yawned, stretching a bit. The delicious smell came again and I looked around to see Axel, he was sitting by the fire and seemed to be cooking something."You're finally awake, good morning." He greeted me with a smile while I replied accordingly."Good morning.""How do you feel?" He asked and I paused for a bit, trying to find the best way to describe how I felt."Honestly, I don't feel good at all. My leg still hurts, though not as bad as yesterday, it's painful but bearable. I feel tired, my throat's a bit dry and the nausea's back again. I feel bloated and my boobs hurt, they're swollen." I surmised."That's a good sign." He sighed."What?""You're only exper

Esme's POV"What?!" I blurted weakly."If I'm ever going to have a chance to finish the mission, I can't lose a leg. Please there has to be some other way." I pleaded, my eyes watering.The thought of my leg being cut off, coupled with the pain, wasn't something I wanted to imagine."There's only one other way I can think of but it's not guaranteed. If it doesn't work, the poison will still be able to get to your heart and kill you." He suggested"Just try it at least, please." I begged and he took a deep breath. He brought out a pair of pants and tore it into long strips before tying one very tightly at the start of the swelling and he did the same at the end, towards my foot."What are you going to do?" I couldn't help but ask. "I'm going to try to see if I can get the poison to flow out with your blood, that's why I tied up your leg, so it wouldn't be able to spread. I'll cut open the swelling and we can let the blood flow out. I'll cauterize the wound right after but it's going to

Esme's POVMy scream rented the air as soon as my eyes darted to the ground. Leafy vines had wrapped around my legs and were moving up my body fast.The vines moved smoothly on their own, surrounding my body and holding me tightly in place. What kind of plant is this? And how can it move so fluidly on its own? It seems to be intelligent as well, going for my legs first.Axel rushed over and his eyes widened when he saw my current dilemma."Esme!" He called out worriedly before pausing. He took a few steps back, creating a good distance between us.If he gets too close, the vines might ensnare him as well and we'll both be in trouble."Please stop struggling, these are carnivorous vines. If you move too much, it might try to harm you." He warned and I paused, my heart beating wildly in my chest.A leafy and thorn filled vine creeped over to me and wrapped around my body, shredding my clothes. Wait a minute, it seems like it's trying to gain access to my skin. After having escaped deat

Esme's POV "Wow. It's so phantasmagoric. Looking through this boundary, the Forbidden Zone seems so beautiful but it's the deadliest place in existence." Axel commented. "I agree with you completely, it's so beautiful but we have to be careful. You remember what Irma said, looks are often deceiving." I reminded him. I moved behind him and opened the backpack, placing the traveler's stone in it. "Let's go." I beckoned and we both walked through the boundary and into the Forbidden Zone. The place was massive, spanning for miles but also really beautiful with huge trees, clear skies and nice vegetation. The air felt cool and relaxing, the songs of beautiful birds filled the air and butterflies littered the place, flying around the low grasses. This place feels like it was created right out of a dream, it looks like paradise. "The view is awesome and I've never seen trees like these before, the flowers are pretty." I blurted. "Trees like these are rather rare, they grow naturally i

Esme's POV"What? What do you mean by that?" I asked, still not putting my knife away."I knew you were coming, long before you even came up with the plan. I wouldn't be a seer if I didn't know this, would I?" She asked softly.Damn it. I had royally underestimated this woman and I had completely forgotten the fact that she was clairvoyant.But if she knew I was coming, is it possible that this is a trap? Is that perhaps why Rachel had not reacted when Axel and I passed by? Does she already know as well? I wouldn't be surprised now if several guards burst through that door any minute.This is all just so hard to deal with."Cast your fears away, dear. Rachel doesn't know a thing." She said as if reading my mind."Why should I believe a single word you say? You're Rachel's friend after all. You could be trying to trick me." I countered."Yes, but I wouldn't gain anything from that, would I? By the time I arrived, I already knew the plans that Rachel had for you. I knew she was going to

Esme's POVI put on the guard's clothes and braided my hair into a ponytail before wrapping the braided part round and round in a circular pattern, holding it in place with a bobby pin and putting on a cap to cover it.I looked in the mirror and was satisfied with how I looked so I left."I'm done." I alerted and he paused to take a good look at me. I could see a smile stretching the edge of his lips."Is my disguise convincing enough or am I missing something?" I asked in a fret."No, you aren't missing anything. Your disguise is pretty convincing. I'm rather surprised how good you look even in men's clothes." He said and I didn't have time to decide if he was either flirting or just teasing."Alright, let's go." I urged and we both headed for the door. But I quickly made a stop at my bedside table to grab the fruit knife just in case I might really need it.He went out first and when he told me the coast was clear, I followed.He locked the door from the outside but left the key in
