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

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

    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 I found myself in utter disbelief. "Get away from me, you vile woman!" Ethan suddenly screamed and pushed me off of him when I tried to kiss him. Did I do something wrong? "Ethan, is something wrong? Are you OK?" I asked, worried as I tried to get closer to him again. He tried to stand up but he fell back on the bed and when I rushed towards him, he yelled at me. "Stay away from me, you witch." The words sounded like a puzzle, even though I knew what they meant. What is going on? Did something happen to him? He looks like he's in pain but he won't even let me get close to him and he keeps calling me names. Did I accidently do something to cause him to be in this state? But I followed the book exactly. I had read a book that had talked about maintaining a healthy sexual relationship and that's when I came across the topic of a man's erogenous spots. I couldn't help but wonder how Ethan would react if I pleasured him so I decided to give it a try but I didn't mean for

    Ethan's POV My eyes opened suddenly and I gasped, my breath rising and falling as my heart pounded against my chest. I blinked repeatedly and tried to move but that's when I realized that my hands were bound, no, chained to something and so were my legs. I looked back to see that I had been chained to the wall. Something tightened around my neck and I realized that a shackle had been locked around my neck as well. A pit formed in my stomach, pools of adrenaline filling that pit as deja Vu or rather, recollection began to hit me. I didn't want to accept any of it until I finally looked around my surroundings and realized that I'm chained and locked up in Alpha Waylen's dungeon, just like I had been nine years ago, when my Pack was overthrown and my family was slain. I'm even wearing the same clothes. What is going on? What is happening to me? Is this a dream? Please let it be a nightmare. From what I can recall, it was Esme's and my mating ceremony. We concluded our ceremony and p

    Esme's POVThe doctor finally came out after what felt like ages. I'm already at my wit's end and if she hadn't shown up when she did, I probably would have barged in to ask for answers.Despite my rousing headache, I rushed over to her as fast as I could. Rachel and Axel followed behind me.The doctor told us she wanted to speak to us privately so we went into Ethan's room."Doctor, what's going on with him? Is he alright? Can you do something?" I bombardedThe doctor tried to keep a straight face as she spoke but her defenses eventually cracked and her expression changed to a solemn one."I'm really sorry Luna Esme but there's nothing I can do for the Alpha. I've examined him and ran all sorts of tests but all have been futile so far. I only know his temperature is high and he's in a subconscious state, other than that, nothing can medically explain what's happening to him right now.I tried everything but I just can't explain it, it's beyond me.He's sick, that's for sure but this

    Ethan's POV It had been seven agonizing days. The stench of the dungeon was unbearable and Ramine's corpse had reduced to bloated remains, clumps of green decaying skin littered around the dungeon floor, a work of the rats. The rats weren't the only problem as flies and insects clambered over the corpse. My vision blurred uncontrollably, my eyes were so heavy that keeping them open was torture. My stomach was churning and rumbling, my insides twisting painfully. My throat was so dry that it had become sore and my bladder was so full that I could barely move my legs because I feared that if I did, I would wet myself. I had been starved of food and water for these seven days, no one had come to see me so I couldn't ask to use the bathroom. The first few days I cried a lot, seeing Ramine in this state again made me too emotional but on the fourth day, when the hunger and thirst became unbearable, I didn't even have the strength to worry about that anymore as I battled with the hung

    Esme's POV"A week?!"Rachel and I exclaimed."Yes. He might last a little more than that but I doubt it. His body is growing frail and this keeps up then……""No! There must be some way to save him. He just can't……He can't die like this. Please, there has to be a way, tell me what it is. I'm willing to do anything." I broke out in tears, shivering."I'm really sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Luna but there are only two options here. Since the mate mark you placed on him is the ultimate cause of his suffering, it seems you'll have to break your bond with him, completely.You'll have to renounce your bond and go far away from him. After the bond is broken, I'm sure the effects of the curse will cease." Irma explained and I collapsed.Rachel held me up while I covered my mouth with my hand to muffle my cries.Of all the options in the world, I had never expected this. If we truly are fated mates then why does our bond hurt him?I thought we could finally be together but now I realize

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?"

    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

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
