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
Killian's Pov The door to my office opened after two knocks had been placed on it. Fowler walked in with a strange man trailing behind him. I said nothing as I watched the two of them, waiting for Fowler to introduce his company to me. "This is Gerald" Fowler never failed "He's not from here and there's something he'd like to talk to you about". Gerald the strange man made his way towards my desk, he stretched his hand out for a handshake and I took it. His grip was strong and he looked strong as well. He had dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, I could smell his wolf. "Pleasure to meet you Killian" he said. "Likewise" I replied him "please have a seat" I gestured to the chair and he sat on it. It was then that Fowler walked out of the office leaving just Gerald and I. "So what can I do for you?" I asked him. I didn't quite see the need to beat around the bush. I already had an idea what he was here for. He wouldn't be the first person with the intention of trying to convince me to
Killian's POV. There was no point in sitting in my car and questioning myself about why I was here. I was already there and whether or not I didn't know why I was so bothered about Esmeralda and Mikel getting comfortable in each other, I couldn't drive away. Scratch that, I knew exactly what I was doing here and why I didn't want Mikel anywhere near Esmeralda. He wanted to mark her tonight, there's no way in hell that I was going to let that happen. Though it's mostly my fault, while regulating how I was feeling I tended to push her away and I was very mean to her. I knew this fear of losing her didn't only come from my wolf. I did not also want to lose her but Mikel is hell bent on marking her. It was quite suspicious, a minute ago he rejected her because he wanted to be mated with the pure blood wolf and he spent a lot of money looking for that rarity and the next minute, he comes and decided to accept Esmeralda as his mate. Why? Did he find the pure blood wolf and was it a man
Esmeralda's POV Mikel and I were enjoying our dance together. Although I was a terrible student, he was patient with me, he held me with my footing and even made jokes about it. There was nothing that could compare to how good i felt when I heard the sound of his laughter, it felt really good knowing I was the one that made him laugh. A woman walked up to him and he excused himself as she whispered something into his ears. He returned to where I was standing waiting for him with a small smile on his face. "Something came up, I'll have to go check on it. I'll be back" he walked away from me. However, as he was walking away, I felt something pull on my dress making me to trip and at that same time, the lights went off. They had been flickering for a while but I was too busy enjoying my moment with Mikel. As I felt my body launch to the ground, a pair of strong muscled hands grabbed me by the waist and carried me away. The person smelled familiar like apples and when he caught me,
Esmy's Pov Every glance at him, I could feel my heart almost drowning in the abyss of what I could not explain. His brows were slightly furrowed and when his gaze drifted to my cleavage he said, "The other dress was much better." His lips tightened and then his eyes twinkled as he looked up far behind me as if wanting to walk away. . "I thought you liked this better." I muttered and chuckled, my gaze on the floor. His scoff made me realize he was finding it difficult to deal with the dress I'm wearing yet, his eyes wouldn't get off my body. "My eyes would deceive you, these are twinkles of concerns." He placed his hands on his pockets and walks away, his muscles hitting my shoulder causing slightly a hard impact. I tried to maintain my stance but I was few seconds away from hitting the ground. I felt Killian's strong muscles wrapped my body, as he caught me from falling flat on the floor. My hands wrapped around his shoulder and he pulled me closer twice, to his face, but then
Esmy's Pov "Mikel..." I muttered in a low tone and my hand lifts up to reach for him, but he took a step back, his gaze lowered on the ground as he said, "I think you should go home." The cab arrived immediately. My lips parted and the tears falling from my eyes drips in, the salty taste made me feel how miserable my life was. I hopped inside the cab and laid my head on the on the seat, sobbing quietly, till I got home. .... The morning light shone brightly through the curtains. When it's ray hits my face, I covered my face with a pillow, refusing to start the day. "Good morning." Susan walked in, and drags the duvet from my body. I turned and buried my face on the bed to avoid looking at her. My eyes were swollen from the tears last night. I had cried myself to sleep. "You do know, you have to be in school right?" Susans screams at me and opened the curtains, making the room extremely bright. I reached for my phone underneath the other pillow and check the time, but the
Esmy's Pov 9.30am, at school. "Hey girls, Jake asked me to prom!" "Wow that's nice. Cole asked me as well." Another student shouted as well. "Yeah me too, I got a date. I'm going with Chris." If there was one thing I hated about highschool it was the annoying sounds of teenagers, screaming in the hallway as they talked about the amazing things going on in their lives, loud enough others to know, wanting us to see they have something good going on for themselves, especially we the less active high schoolers. The preys as they call it. Every morning I step inside the school I keep counting my fingers for the number of months I've still got to spend here. Though days do go by, but it felt as if it was getting even longer and not nearing the end anytime soon. I jabbed my locker opened as I grabbed my textbooks and shut it lock, but then- "woo-ooohhh..." I screamed, startled at how Gwen carefulness latched to the locker. "Don't you dare do that again, you freaked me out." I sn
Esmy PoV “Mikel is playing hard to get”Esmy told Killian I saw him look at me with disbelief,I didn’t know what he was thinking,I could tell what Mikel was thinking whenever he was with me but I couldn’t do the same for Killian. He was so in contrast with his brother. I wanted his opinions,he knew his half brother more than I did and it was only right that I came to him with this. “He isn’t playing hard to get,he is rejecting you”Killian shrugged. I look at him and tried my best to see from his expressions if he was just saying that because he was tired of me asking him questions or he was just saying that to get me off his back,I wasn’t going to give up no matter what he said. “Why would you say that to me”I asked calmly. There was no point in raising my voice,he might tell me why he said that or he won’t. “Esmy,I don’t want to keep talking about this,maybe you should leave the office so I could concentrate on work”Killian said looking upset. I didn’t understand why he was u
