Esmeralda's POV.I had told Killian that I wanted to ride in a convertible and the man went ahead and got the deal done.About twenty minutes after I told him what I wanted, I saw myself in a red convertible, sitting in the passenger seat. The hood of the car was tucked in the back and my hair was caught in the wind and I was laughing hard.After what happened in the hotel room, we both got dressed up. Well, I got dressed up while he watched and when I finished, we went to a boutique to get him some clothes and that was when I told him that I wanted to ride in a convertible.I was caught off guard when we walked out of the boutique and a red convertible was waiting for us and not just that, there were four wrapped up weeds waiting for us in the glove box.He offered them to me along with a lighter.When he gave them to me, I was surprised. He really was listening to me and he really had the contacts for everything and everyone.The minute I took them, I laughed so hard because I found
Esmy Pov:- Arrrrrgh! My whole body felt like it had been set on fire. I opened my eyes a crack to check if there were flames slowly licking my flesh but I saw nothing. The burning sensation touched my bones and went deeper. It was both in and out. I trembled on the bed feverishly. There had to be an explanation for this. What is happening to me? I asked myself trying to cool my rising panic. It was my eighteenth birthday, I could feel my body changing. I was turning into a monster-a werewolf! My bones felt like liquid within me and for a moment, I could have sworn I was nothing more than a puddle on the bed. Then suddenly it felt like steel. Like I was made from the strongest substance on earth. I rolled on the bed taking deep meditative breaths. The snapping sound made me freeze both mentally and physically. It had come from my legs. My hands moved down to brush my feet and then it happened again. And again. Arrrrrgh! I screamed in my head. The bones in my legs broke like
ESMERALDA'S POVThe sound of the sirens drowned every other sound associated with the morning. It was the only thing that could be heard from miles. My parents had been out there with the officers. I looked at her with my big eyes loaded with enough worry to drown a cat but she gave me a reassuring tap on my shoulder.Izan had been doing a good job keeping me and Donna inside as mother instructed, but when he wasn't watching, I dashed out through the kitchen door. I couldn't wait any longer. Every minute I could feel the muscles of my bottleneck tightening by curiosity, and the flashes of my nightmare hunting me. I needed to see for myself, how was about ten animals killed in one night. My blonde hair rustled in the breeze as I walked towards the ruled out area. The officers around gave me one look and then dismissed me from their minds. It was as if I had somehow become invisible. I passed some broken patches of earth that looked like they had been disturbed not long ago."Hey, k
Killian's Pov"What is it, Fowler?" I asked without looking up from the files scattered around my desk. Fowler, my best friend walked into the office planting himself directly in front of the desk. He cast a big shadow visible on the desk regardless of his wiry frame. "It's your father." He said counting his words.I shifted impatiently on my chair. He knew better than to bother me with crap involving that man. "I don't want to hear it. I have enough crap to handle already without bothering myself with his worthless existence." He walked over to the seat at the far end and moved it till it was directly in front of me. He sat down and then sucked enough air to last a diver then said, "I think you should hear him out this time."There was something about the way he said it that prompted me to look up at his face. I was glad I did so."What's wrong?" I asked straightening.He shifted his weight. I could tell he was trying to consider how to tell me what he wanted to say. Whatever it
Esmy's Pov"Are you okay?" The man stepped out of the car and instantly I could feel my legs shaking. My eyes widened and the crinkling of my brows tightened the skin of my forehead as I stood there anxiously staring at this stranger.When he stride towards me the air suddenly became filled with the sweet smell of lavender. The closer he got, the more intensified the aroma of lavender. I could feel my legs struggling as it took few step closer to this man unable to wait for him to cover the gap between us.I could hear the pounding of my heart, and it's erratic beating as though it was coming to a clunking stop. I was drawn to this man, like he was a magnet and I-the iron.It was as though I was standing before someone that meant the world to me, someone I've just met but felt as though he was the missing piece of myself I've been yearning for.This feeling is strange!"Are you alright?" He held my hands as he stares into my eyes. Instantly, he bent on a knee, and his eyes were trai
Esmeralda's POV.I walked into the coffee shop he had brought me to. There was no where else to go and I was to overwhelmed to even think of anything. Never had I ever felt so alone in my life.Where we had sat down the other day was already taken by customers and I could not ask them to leave because of my own greedy pleasure but I needed to see him, I needed to feel the peace he brought even though I could not understand half of what he had said and I was just on the verge of grasping it all. Still I longed for him.I must've looked stupid standing in the middle of a coffee shop and having my eyes pinned on a particular table without moving but just staring, because when I finally decided to look around, there were quite a number of eyes looking at me, trying to decide if i was mentally okay or not. I could see from the counter, a waiter already pulling the phone to make a call, she was probably going to call the manager.I still could not move.The memory of Killian was assaulting
Killian's PovAfter I left her at the coffee shop with my card I had reluctantly gave to her because my conscience and my wolf could not allow I just left her be alone and confused about what was happening to her."You're a dip shit" I heard my wolf, Kai, say.I rolled my eyes at him. He had been about this since the second I opened my mouth and rejected her as my mate."You're a fucking coward who's afraid of being loved and to love"Well now he was just making things up to spite me. He wanted to anger me, because he was also angry and he didn't want to be the one feeling the uncomfortable fire of anger burning in his chest. No, to him, if he was angry, the person responsible for his rage should also feel what he was feeling.He was petty like that anf very annoying as well.I ignored his raging loud voice and his anger focused my attention on other things that were more important, for example, work.Work was waiting for me, on my table all piled up. I walked into my office and hasti
Killian's POV.Mikel kept yelling at me, so loudly that I could hardly register what he was saying but I did know he was raining all sorts of insults on me, I think he was wishing me death as well but I could hardly focus on him.My focus was on Esmeralda who was sitting there wide eyed staring at Mikel as he kept talking. I immediately stood to my feet and walked towards where Mikel was standing, I desperately wanted to bring this argument some place else away from Esmeralda, away from prying eyes so that Mikel and we would be able to further embarrass ourselves."Mikel, let's take this somewhere else, this isn't the right place to do this"."Oh please" he pushed me away "you can't tell me what and what not to do, you don't own me you bastard" he roared as loud as he could and I had to turn my head away from his booming voice.I looked over my shoulder and Esmeralda was still sitted there, as if there was any other place for her to go. "Can you not see I have a guest over, can we ju
