Esmeralda's POV I stood there just watching the two of them, unable to answer Killian's question. The woman entangled with him looked at me, she wasn't smiling nor was she frowning, her expression was unreadable. "Who is she?" She asked Killian. Her voice was soft and powerful, it was lovely to the ears but I was irritated by it. My gut was churning as I looked at the both of them. I was angry but not the anger that I normally felt, this one tasted bitter and more intense. Itvwae jealousy. I didn't knkw why I was jealous. Maybe it was his hand on her waist or how he wasn't repusked by her skin touching him like he was with me or maybe it was the fact that he wasnt sending her out of hus room instead he was hospitable to her. I was jealous. Envious even. My eyes darted to Killian as I watched as his mouth was unmoving. She had asked him who I was and I waited to know if I was anything worth explaining to her. But he wasn't saying anything, he was only glaring at me obviously expe
Killian's POV: A gentle caress of a hand I knew was not mine jolted me up from the nap I was having. Without checking to see who it was, my thoughts went to the possibility of the person being Esmeralda but I knew too well that she was too shy to be able to make such a bold move to come to my room and even caress me at that. It was also impossible that if it was her my wolf would not feel it. He would have ran made from feeling Esmeralda's hand on my body. So I quickly turned over to where the person laid. It was Paula. She had a small sultry smile on her lips. I felt my wolf groan from disappointment but I said nothing. We both had our preferences, it wanted Esmeralda but I preferred Paula. Still, it didn't mean she could just barge in and I would fall at her feet in submission "what are you doing here?" I asked her, allowing my voice to carry the shock I felt on seeing her. She didn't say anything and her silence was substituted by a movement of her hand. Her hand trailed up my
Esmeralda's POV: I stare blankly at the sky watching the clouds gather and disperse. Watching how they exist by just fleeting through the sky. They floated around with no worries, no heartaches but simply pure beauty. I wanted to be like that. To have no care in the world, nothing but just existing. However, humans were tasked with the responsibilities bestowed upon them by the society and biblically, the actions of the first humans, whether they liked it or not. They had to do some things, experience unfavourable sufferings and go through the hell called life. It has been made especially harder for people like me who came to this world only to be abandoned. We are expected to course through life alone and loveless, rejected left and right by people we care about. And we're expected to make something good of it. Wow. This was a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone. Weeks have gone by and still, I am nowhere closer to finding out about my origin. I have not the faintest clue who
Esmy's Pov With the paper in hand I waited for the ride I had booked, I could understand that the delay was because Killian's house was a little far from the public so with no other choice I stood there and waited. There was the choice of going back and waiting in the living room but that could mean I would probably stumble across insufferable Paula or Killian who had no freaking clue about anything. About what? I wondered too. About how he was making me feel anytime he came home with Paula or about how demeaning he makes me feel. Well, it was better if he knew nothing about that. He shouldn't know how many times I sulk because of him or how his mood swings affect me. No matter how much I wished he knew so maybe he would desist from doing it or even tuning it down a little, I could never look him in the eye if he found out things I can't explain to him. The way I feel for example. The ride was taking forever and my patience was running out. The lazy part of me was already yellin
Esmeralda's POV I was shocked. I could hardly breathe, Killian was stark naked and he was lying on top of me. And I could feel the heat radiating off him. It was sensational. His skin was cold as if he took a cold shower, still he was hot against me which made no sense. I could feel the thumping of his own heartbeat and how it was in a perfect synchrony with mine. I was trying hard not to pay attention to his face directly opposite mine. If I was bold enough, I only needed to tilt my head a little bit and there would not be space between our lips. I would capture his perfectly arched lips in mine. I felt the desire to move my hand and caress his body on top of mine, I wanted to touch him. Something in me craved to touch him, hell, something in me wanted all of him. From his toes to his head, I wanted to feel him; on top of me, below me, beside me, inside me. Just feel him. To feel every part of him and become one with him His eyes were staring deep into mine and my own was boring i
Killian's POV. I was beyond stupefied to find Esmeralda standing by the doorway to my bathroom. I was so shocked that I unintentionally screamed out, my body had jolted and my towel which had been loosely tied around my waist fell to the ground. I could see how she tried so hard to not look below my waist. However, I found it hard to believe that my towel had fallen from my waist, my eyes trailed from my waist before meeting her eyes. She was still staring at me. She had probably thought it would be best for her to leave, so she turned to leave. However, I was just too messy in the bathroom, there were drops of water everywhere and so she slipped on one. I immediately tried to catch her but my legs had been mispositioned, she grabbed me and we both fell to the ground. With me on top of her, naked. I had no idea how to react to this position we had found ourselves. I felt my wolf groan so loud and his voice in my head rang. "Just take her here, mark her as yours" However I didn't
Esmeralda's POV: When Paula opened her mouth telling Killian that she was the one he was in love with, I felt as though a knife was piercing into my heart. I could not breath, my heart was heavy and my head was light. Without further thinking, I removed ny hands from his own and informed him that I wanted to leave. It was suffocating in there and as it seemed, the both of them needed to talk about whatever was going on between them and I just needed to be anywhere else but there. I wanted to be gone desperately and so I made my way to the door. He asked me if I was going to be alright but I ignored him. Majorly because I had no idea if I was going to be fine. I was heartbroken, my heart was constricting and I felt pain in amounts that I've never felt before. I had guessed that between the both of them was something, mainly something sexual but that wasn't a consolation, I hated the thought of Killian being with her, being with anyone at all. I walked into my room with disappoin
Esmeralda's POV I was stunned by what Mikel had asked of me. There was a funny feeling in my heart, a burst of joy maybe but I couldn't stop smiling as I stared at him. The possibility of him finally accepting me as his mate lingered on my heart. "What party is that?" I tried to contain my excitement so he wouldn't see the burst of joy flowing in my body. He casually shrugged, tucking his hands into the pocket of his trousers "I'm opening a new branch of my father's company and I need a date". I hid my smile away from him "sure, that won't be a problem" "I'll come pick you up later" he gave me a small smile before walking away from me. Since Mikel and I had come to a sort of agreement, there was no need to go looking for Killian. A part of me had been contemplating going to his office, if it was possible I didn't want to see Killian ever again. Reasons being, I still have not been able to move past what happened between us last night and also bjs relationships with Paula. I ha
