After Killian pulled my mum away from me, he carried her to the living room. I stood there dazed wondering how the woman that I thought loved me endlessly would resort to violence in only a few minutes. Though I tried to understand that she was feeling angry, I still could not imagine how she would purposely want to inflict pain on me with pain. She would do anything for her son. I knew I was not her daughter anymore but I wondered where the memories had gone. Nevertheless, her anger and inexplicable rage was called for. I almost killed her son. I mean, he might die and it was all my fault, I was so stupid so gullible that Paula could play a joke on me. I couldn't hate my mother for what she did. She had let her emotions take the lead and it was very understandable because I tried to kill her son. From Killian's words, he needed to fight this, but what if he loses the fight? What if he died? Would people blame me or Paula? Of course they would blame me. It was my stupidity that m
Esmeralda's POV A feeling greater than joy burst open within me. I was so happy to hear the news that I forgot about what Susan had said. I forgot about everything that happened and I was just so happy to hear that Izan had woken up. From Killian's words, he needed to fight for himself and if waking up was it then it was surely a good sign that Izan was going to live. I didn't know what I was more happy about, him being alive or the fact that I was not going to spend the rest of my life blaming myself for his death. "How is he?" I asked her. "He's fine," she said, "he came downstairs but I told him to go back up, it would be best for him to lay down and wait for Killian". I nodded my head, she had made a good decision regarding him. We had no idea if walking around was good for him, if the blood was still in his system and being in motion was going to make matters worse. It was better if he remained in the position where his body had fought off the effects of the blood. "Is Paul
Esmeralda's POV I had never even thought that the person who could've bitten Izan would be Mikel. The thought had never crossed my mind. I had been so worried about his life that I didn't take a minute to even try to think of how he turned into a werewolf. He was bitten. He wasn't just bitten, he was bitten by Mikel. My mate, the scumbag in my life. I looked into Izan's eyes and I could tell that after he heard those words from Mikel, an unpleasant feeling sparked up inside him. His eyes were fragile and it mirrored his heart. Izan was scared of Mikel. Maybe it was how he was bitten or something else but he really was scared of him. And Mikel didn't even seem like he cared about how Izan was feeling. What mattered most to him was building a pack irrespective of the people he bites, irrespective of their feelings whether they wanted it or not. Mikel didn't care. The other thing that he bothered himself about was finding the pure blood wolf. It was not in Killian's itinerary to
Killian's POV. Nobody around, not even Mikel could've predicted that Esmeralda could've made such a move. She had thrown a punch at Mikel. I thought that it was going to end there, the punch was very surprising and what followed after was even more surprising. She threw multiple punches at him. At first I thought she was only lashing out at him, making him have a taste of the anger that had been locked away in her heart. However, I didn't understand the situation. Not only did she just throw punches, I could feel the menacing rage oozing out of her. The tenacity of her punches, of her rage were quite overwhelming. Her claws had taken the place of her fingers and I could tell that the impact of her punches was quite powerful and Mikel was at the receiving end of her rage. I had already bashed his face beforehand because he had tried to hit Esmeralda. And the punches he had received from me were very painful. His lips had been split open and his nose was broken. I could tell
Killian's POV I was standing in between the two women that I cared about the most. However it was different, I loved Esmeralda but Paula was the one carrying my child. If I remember vividly, this was the first time that the two of them were on the same page. They never really did see eye to eye. Paula hated everything about Esmeralda and Esmeralda equally hated her. The reason for Paula's displeasure towards Esmeralda I could understand; she hated her because deep down she knew that I loved Esmeralda and she didn't want that. She wasn't in for that life. But neither was I. If it was up to me, I would choose Esmeralda. She was my mate afterall and making the same mistake my father made was something I didn't want to do. I knew about Paula's resentment towards Esmeralda but Esmeralda's reason for hating Paula, I didn't know about. I couldn't even pinpoint exactly when it started or how it started, I just only remembered that it obviously did start. Esmeralda just woke up and hated
Esmeralda's POV. In my sleep I heard the sound of the door creaking. The sound is faint but because of the silence, I was able to hear the sound of the door and also, the sound of footsteps. I had no idea who it was. But from the distinct smell of apples that accompanied the person, it wasn't hard to guess that the person was Killian. I was skeptical whether to inform him of my consciousness or not. I wanted to talk to him, this was the first time in a while that we were spending some time together when the rage and displeasure we felt towards each other wasn't overwhelming. However I didn't know how to start. I didn't know how I was feeling at the moment. He was also feeling the same way. When I heard his footsteps, I realized that I didn't care about whether he wanted to talk to me or not. I wanted to be selfish about him, this was the only time I had to be selfish. Outside of my room he was engaged to be married to someone else who was going to have children for him. Outside o
Esmeralda's POV. The shadow kept going into the kitchen. I was skeptical about it but I was curious, I wanted to see who or what the shadow was. A part of me thought it was Paula, but there was no reason why Paula would be sneaking up on me or doing whatever the shadow was doing. Somehow, I managed to scare myself. I was terrified. I was worried for myself, for my mother, for my brother and for Killian. There was no reason why I should be worried about Killian but I was. I was worried about him. I feared that that shadow had a partner that was here for Killian, I was scared that it had come to test out strength with Killian or to assassinate him. That moment, I wanted to turn around and run towards Killian, to make sure he was okay. But then I thought: I wasn't sure that that shadow had a partner, I needed to keep it busy, if Killian was alright, he must've heard my scream and he would surely join me in no time. I walked at a normal pace, following the flashes of the shadow I
Killian's POV "You can stay in his pack but you can be my informant in there, can you do that?" I asked him. I saw his eyes dart between me and the night sky. He looked like he was pondering over what I had just asked him. It waa dangerous sending him into that world, it was very inhumane of me to send him into the lion's mouth just so he could gather information for me. But no matter how reluctant I was about it, there were some things that needed to be done and this was one of them. I hated sending Izan into Mikel's pack but the best way to protect him was to do this. Mikel had bitten him and had rights to him, the only way I could help him out was to destroy Mikel and it would be very difficult to do that alone. Esmeralda was right, no matter how strong I thought I was, there were a lot of things I couldn't do on my own and this one was one of them. "You don't have to make a decision now". I told him, from his appearance it seemed like he was thinking too much about the probl
