Killian's POV The words I heard from her were too surprising and it provoked a kind of anger within me. She knew I was looking for Esmeralda and Mikel may be the only person who knew where she was. Mikel had been brutally beaten up by Frederick and his men and he was injured and he may or may not survive it. Looking at it from a different perspective, I was actually doing him a favor, he was weak and injured and he might die but I took him and gave him treatment. There are two reasons why I couldn't let him go, one was that I wanted to extort information from him regarding Frederick, even the littlest thing he must know and the other was that he was too weak to be going up and down, he was too weak to be stressed. Hearing these words from Paula made me feel weird and very angry. She was already seeming suspicious from the things she had done, from helping Mikel delete those CCTV footage to actually letting him go free from my custody and now she waa doing the same thing. She waa
Killian's POVI frowned as those words flowed into my ears. I was irritated that Camille could have gotten to Esmeralda before I did. I didn't know if I had taken kongbin getting dressed or if it was because i had gone to pick Wesley up but somehow, Camille had gone there before me.Somehow, Camille had found out about Esmeralda's location which was only known to the both of us. I kept thinking of the day before, when I caught Paula talking to Camille on the phone. It wasn't enough to prove that Paula was the one that shared Esmeralda's location but if she really was the one, I wasn't sure that I would be that surprised.When I lifted my head, I saw different pairs of eyes staring back at me but my eyes were focused on one in particular.Wesley looked like he was very worried about me. Hell, I was worried about me because I was on the verge of bringing down hellfire on Camille and probably Paula.They were the ones who caused all this to happen. The only reason that I could think tha
Killian's POV. "I think I should go home," Wesley said from beside me. I was not expecting such a suggestion from him. For some reason, I thought he must've understood that I needed him there, that I needed his ability to keep me pinned to the ground because I was too angry, too outraged to be able to do that myself. I was scared that I was going to hurt Paula. I didn't want to hurt her, but I was so angry that I felt like I was going to do it. Several times she has given me so many reasons to actually hurt her but other than my tenets of never hitting a woman, she was pregnant too and with my child. However, she had done so many wrong things to me that sometimes those reasons begin to blur like they're doing right now. "What do you mean?" I asked him. He chuckled, "Killian, do you want me to spend the night over at your place? Aren't we moving too fast?" I looked at him. His brown eyes were dark in the night and his curly hair fell right over his eyebrows. The smile on his face
Killian's POV "I think that's a wrong thing to say, '' Susan said. She was glaring at Wesley but he looked like there was no way he could ever be able to care less of what Susan thought about his words. He was more into trying to calm me down and I saw it in his eyes. Meanwhile, Susan was hell bent on proving to Wesley and I that Paula wasn't as horrible as I explained her to be. "Miss Paula isn't like that. She only feels that way about Esmeralda because of how you feel for her. Miss Paula isn't a horrible person". I chuckled, before turning to Wesley, "do you know, she almost killed Esmeralda's brother". Wesley adjusted his stance, probably finding my words hard to believe. "What do you mean?" "Mr Killian is being silly. Miss Paula didn't try to kill Izan, she said she had been trying to help. Izan doesn't want to be a werewolf and Miss Paula thought that Esmeralda's blood was going to rid him of whatever was turning him into a werewolf". Susan argued. "But, didn't Esmerald
Esmeralda's POV Mikel's mother had kept me locked away in her attic for a while. Food had not been delivered to me and I was slowly starting to lose strength in my joints. Everything was aching me, from my head to my stomach and then to my legs. I had escaped from one kidnapper only to be met with another. I still didn't know what happened with Frederick if he survived the wound on his chest or not. I was still very concerned about Freya, I had no idea if she would hate me after what I did to her father or not. It was stupid to even expect that she wouldn't want to disembowel me seeing that I had almost killed her father if he did survive it. I was feeling very guilty for her. I couldn't help but remember the time I felt this hunger that almost stopped me from life. It had been Freya that came to my rescue and what I did as a payback was to almost kill her father. My conscience was gnawing at me and I couldn't even try to deny what I had done. I had woken up this morning from
Esmeralda's POV. There was something about him that I couldn't quite put my finger on. His obvious unusual closeness to Killian was a start and the fact that he didn't appear like he was happy to see me. If he really was just a good friend of Killian's then, he would've been happy for his friend that I was returned. Or maybe it was because he was a good friend of Killian's. That he knew that Killian did not even care about me. He knew that to Killian I was a simple responsibility and that was why he just didn't give a fuck about my arrival. "What happened to him?" Mikel's mother asked. Killian opened his mouth to answer but before he did, another voice came in, "he was badly beaten up by Frederick and his men ''. The voice was mine. Killian's eyes fell on me and so did everyone in the room. Including that friend of his. Killoam gave me a smile but it wasn't enough to get rid of the indignation I was feeling in my heart. "Camille," he called. Her name was Camille after all.
Esmeralda's POV. I didn't know what Wesley whispered to him but after he said whatever he said, Killian smiled and I could see some color in his cheeks. Meanwhile, Wesley lifted his head and gave Killian a smug smirk. I pulled on Killian's arm in order to grab his attention and he immediately turned to me. He looked at me with soft eyes and my brain suddenly remembered a few minutes ago when his lips were on mine. "You made a new friend," I said to him. Killian nodded his head and chuckled, "yea, Wesley is a detective. We met when he was investigating something that Mikel did. He has been a great help to me while we were searching for you". I smiled, suddenly my notion about him was taking a new turn. "He did?" I looked at him and I caught his eyes staring at me. He didn't look for long and in less than two seconds, he started his eyes away from me like he was shy. "Thank you, Wesley". I said, smiling at him. He brought his brown eyes back to me and smiled but the smile seemed
Esmeralda's POV My heart skipped a beat as those words flowed into my ears. I was a bit unsettled and I kind of wanted to run away but he was still holding my hand. His grip was strong and he held me like he was the only meaningful thing in his life. Wesley walked over to where we were standing, Killian gave him his full attention but he still held my hand. "I'm leaving," he said hurriedly. Killian slightly frowned, "why so suddenly?" Wesley chuckled and placed a hand on Killian's shoulder, "do you have any use of me, friend? Your woman is here now, shouldn't show her just how much you missed her or you want me to watch?" My cheeks warmed up. My breath was caught in my throat and somehow I knew Killian felt the same way. His smile disappeared as he stared at Wesley but he couldn't say anything. The words Wesley had said were a bit too much for Killian and I. The only thing we had ever done was make out. Having someone watch us while making out didn't seem like much but whatever
