Esmeralda's POVI lifted my head surprised and hopeful to hear what Frederick had said.The man was obviously full of surprises. First he surprised me with a ring and what followed was Mikel brought in bleeding and looking like he was run over by a bulldozer.Whennhe said those words about the enemy, I was hoping that maybe the person could be Killian.I looked straight at the window hoping to see even a hint of Killian or any of his guards."You wanna see him?" Frederick's voice suddenly pulled me from the reverie I was in.I almost jumped out of my seat when I heard his voice. The second before, he was standing beside Mikel who was a few feet away from me and suddenly he was beside me, talking by my ear for me to hear him talking.He smiled as our eyes met, "you're not going to wee him, Esmeralda". He said. "He won't come for you?"I frowned, he was lying, I knew he was lying, "what do you mean, who is the enemy Mikel could've probably ked here? Who's the enemy you so much fear?"He
Killian's POV.Mikel drove unhurriedly like he was about to go get some McDonald's. He did not even in the slightest drive like he was about to rescue Esmeralda. His sudden unprecedented attitude was quite the cause for wonder. It was very unlike Mikel to be so cautious in the things he does. He drove like a reasonable person for the first time in his life.He seemed too cautious like he was aware that something was going to happen. However, I was thrilled because the men that I brought with me were ready for action. Their guns and grenades were on standby and their claws were ready to draw blood. There was nothing that Mikel would do that would surprise me.He drove to a park. The park was unlike the rest I've seen. I've never been to a park to even compare, but from what I see on movies ans when driving by, this was a bit of a downer.I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one who thought so because the park was devoid of people. There were no kids, no dogs, there wasn't anything but
Killian's POV I shot at whoever wasn't wearing the same attire as my men. The fight was heated and I tried as much as possible to make sure I wasn't shot anywhere that would be fatal. I looked around the room trying to catch a sight of Esmeralda. It was hard especially with the smoke and the people shooting around the room. Despite all that, I still tried my best to search around for her, even calling her. I doubted that she would be able to hear it. The noise of the guns going off and the sound of fighting and shouting, I didn't expect her to hear me calling. But that didn't mean I would give up. I still yelled, I still called for her. I still wanted to see her, to hear her. To feel her again. It was at that moment when I felt like I was losing hope, when I felt like maybe she had already been taken away that I saw a glimpse of white dress making its way towards me. It was Esmeralda. She looked so beautiful, but as she was running to me, she suddenly stopped. The spotless whit
Esmeralda's POVEver since I woke up and saw that I was still with Frederick and not in the arms of Killian, I had been unable to rest.My head ached and my heart was erratic. There were problems with sleeping and eating, in summary, i was just out of it. This was something Frederick did not care about. All he cared for, all he wanted to know was that I was lying on the bed, within his reach. Whether I was okay with it or not did not matter to him. I've met very self centered people before but Frederick was another species.It was nighttime and just like usual, I was finding it hard to sleep. I walked to the window and I was blessed with the same view that I have seen for a few days now.We were in a small village and everytime I came to the window I wondered how Frederick was able to find a place like this. It was kike he had had everything planned out even begore Killian's surprise attack, which made me wonder if he had an insider in Killian's men.But it was impossible because th
Dashing out through the window wasn't my initial plan. Escaping wasn't even my plan, all I had thought to do was sit still and wait for some miracle to happen. A miracle that consisted of Killian arriving and rescuing me. However, I had chosen to cut Frederick deep enough that surviving would be hard. Not impossible, hard. I had no idea what prompted such an act from me, what had made me even think of harming him the way that I did. The power coursing through me had overrode me and taken over my senses. I wasn't thinking when I did that nor did I even guess that such a thing would happen. I just did the first thing that came to my mind and that was inflicting Frederick with as much pain as he must've inflicted on Killian. The night was dark and just like I guessed, there was no one around lurking the streets. I ran from the woods to the small town but I couldn't stop. I also couldn't stop thinking about Freya and how she looked as she saw what I did to her father. I was scared f
Esmeralda's POVIt was like the light had glued me to that position. I could not move. This was the easiest way that Frederick would be able to track my movements.What was blinking red was a security camera. And it was pointed right at me and there was no way to avoid its menacing glance. I looked around the supermarket and there were two other security cameras placed at different corners of the place. There was no use in being stealth or trying to avoid them. I was already caught on camera so at least I could finish what I had gone there for.I went straight to the fridge with transparent doors that were positioned on the far side of the supermarket. I tried to open it but it seemed like it was locked.I was already frustrated from the glass door and then the security cameras and now this fridge wants to be next on my list. However, I was not intending on letting it win. I pulled, now with more force than I previously applied and the door was ripped off his hinges. My sudden stren
Esmeralda's POV She wore a kind of make-up that I had never seen on her before. Her dress was exquisite, oozing old money and class. The outfit was something I never thought she had a sense to put together. Her eyes were sultry and devilish, though her character was questionable, her beauty could not be denied. Mikel really did take from her. Both mother and son were annoying people, but they were also very attractive people. Mikel was not as good looking as Killian, but he was something that one could spend a few minutes looking at, but Killian was different. With Killian, you can easily get lost in his beauty. The richness of his skin and the seduction in his eyes. The guards were all looking at me and she had an expectant eyebrow raised up as she scrutinized my appearance. I hadn't thought there was anything I was expected to say. I didn't think I had a script I needed to follow. Or was I expected to shriek or try to run to the hills trying to escape her. They were all starin
Killian's POVAfter informing detective Wesley about the problems I was facing, he has been quite helpful about everything. I took him to the place where the bomb had gone off and told him everything, for the ones I kept from him, he didn't prod. I knew he believed that what I was keeping from him was much bigger than himself. Like for example when he asked me about the reason why Frederick would kidnap Esmeralda.When he asked me, I was caught off guard. I hadn't prepared a reason to give him because I had been intending to be completely honest with him but then he asked me those questions and I couldn't tell him it was because Esmeralda was a pure blood wolf. First of all, he would've asked about everything and i was not prepared to start telling him that there was a world within the basic one he knew, I couldn't try to convince him that we weren't monsters because we were different, nor did I even have the energy to shift in front of him to show him that I wasn't being ridiculous
