Killian's POV Fowler walked into my office without knocking, not that I really had an issue with it. I was just in my thoughts, letting them drift towards when Esmeralda had kissed me first. I had not expected it. I didn't know why most things between us happened but they did. There was no explanation for her behavior nor was there for mine. With the way she sounded, even yelling back at me, I knew that seeing Paula and I together made her angry. She was so angry that she yelled back at me and even employed sarcasm. It was totally unrealistic, it was a side to her that I had never seen before. And when she kissed me, I felt her need, I felt her anger and she felt my reaction to her body. This was a girl that had no idea about some major things in life, she was annoying and downright naive but she ignited a fire within me, a flame I didn't know ever existed. I had been angry as well, hell, I was jealous at the realization that she was going to be marked by Mikel. I couldn't choose
Esmeralda's POV: After school, I got home. I was thrilled to know that Killian and Paula were not at home or maybe they were and they were both in their rooms or together doing God knows what. I scrunched my nose and walked into my room, shutting the door behind me. My room was the only place I could be happy, the only place in the world that did not hurt me. There was nothing else that I loved more than the comfort my room brought me. I collapsed on my bed and just remained still. The events of everything that had happened played in my head like a movie. The scene that couldn't leave was the sight of Paula and Killian having sex. I couldn't look past it, I couldn't see it, I couldn't think of anything else other than what I saw. And Killian. He was such a scumbag, he had said those words while he stared at me. I knew he was staring at me, I felt a boring gaze on me and I hated it. I couldn't even bring myself to look at him. He had seen Paula and i waiting and he ignored me and o
Esmeralda's POV. I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing. I turned around and checked the bed and under the pillows for my phone. When I found it, on the screen read the reminder "Prom". I groaned and buried my head into my pillow. It wasnt that I was not happy about prom, I means its the day I'm expected to be marked by Mikel. Tonight Mikel would Mark me as his own. The probkem I had was the hysteria and the whole vibe surrounding it. Everybody was fussing about prom and what I was only concerned about was Mikel boring his teeth into my skin and I become his own. Maybe when thay moment comes, these thoughts about Killian, these emotions I can't seem to understand will evaporate and I will onky have Mikel in my head. I stood up from ny bed to get myself ready for the school day. It was just my normal everyday routine, but this time, I had to call Mikel, to confirm our date and ask about his problems. Suddenly thinking about Mikel's issues, my mind drifted to the guns I had stol
Esmeralda's POV. I was stunned to hear such words from his mouth. I know Mikel had his bad sides, we all do, but I never expected him to use such harsh words on me. I could understand him, if someone had been calling me non stop for hours I probably would've lashed out as well. But it was different this time, he is someone I'm expected to spend the rest of my life with, someone that is expected to mark me, to make me his. And he was using such words on me. I didn't like it. I didn't like his tone or his words. I didn't like anything about our interaction, especially the fact that I couldn't say anything and was just staring like a dumb bitch. Maybe I am a dumb bitch. Maybe that's why Mikel thinks he could treat me so badly. After I had stolen Killian's gun for him, after I risked my non-existent relationship with Killian for him. There was also the possibility that Mikel really was busy and that I had been disturbing him, but what did he expect from me? I was worried about him a
Esmeralda's POV After Killian and i danced through the night. The room waa starting to get stuffy or it coukd be the punch that was obviously mixed with alcohol. However, Killian and i made a tacit decision to leave the place. I nod farewell to silas and Gwen and left them there and went ahead wigh Killian. We walkee for a while, from the gymnasium that the prom was being held and we decided to take a short stroll to thw parkinb lot. We walkee in silence with our hands lightly brushing against each other's. His head was focsuee ahead and so was mine, he atill smelled like apples and my heart was still beating violently. Thw night wind was calm but cold and i wanted so much for him to take my hand but he didn't, instead he removed his jacket and placed it over my shoulders. "How chivalrous of you". I had to say. He lightly pushed my shoulder and we bith chuckled. "Wanna give me my jacket back, it really is cold". I shook my head at him, "you cannot even feign a bit of coquetry
Killian's POV I had never expected that I would ever make the decision of taking Esmeralda to prom as her date. Paula had warned me to keep my distance from her but I could possibly keep my distance from someone that I was inexplicably drawn to. Paula wanted me to do the impossible but of course I couldn't do it. Keeping my distance from Esmeralda for days was like me holding my breath, and that morning when she left for school in such a dress, I wanted her to change because she looked so sexy and then she wore the necklace I had gotten for her. I couldn't keep my distance, I couldn't hold myself from joining her in the kitchen, I couldn't stop myself from going to her room. Her essence pulled me so greatly, I was drawn to her. Scratch that, I wanted her more than I've ever wanted anything and I couldn't even bring myself to comprehend such desire. When we danced, it felt like the stars were aligning for us, that they were made to be witnesses of the treacherous ravenous feeling s
Killian's POV. After such an inhumane move, I dropped to the ground, trying to breathe, to grasp what left I have of life remaining in my body. I was shuddering, I was scared. I had just taken someone else's life but I was scared of losing my own. Esmeralda had changed everything for me. Before she came, I had nothing to lose, I could embrace death and allow it to carry me away to the afterlife I still cannot comprehend. However, I was here now, trying to keep my eyes open, trying to count, holding on to the edge of the rope because I did not want to die. I did not want to lose her. I was here lying on the ground, imagining her life without me, wondering if she would be happy or not. I was here grieving my own death. Being eaten up by nostalgia of the future where I do not exist. I refused to let go. No matter how tempting the peace was, no matter how I wanted to stop fighting and just rest. I had a life to lose now. I have much to lose now, things I cannot afford to lose. There
Esmeralda's POV. My heart skipped a beat from the words Killian said before he fainted. He had called me a pure blood wolf, it was the same kind of wolf mikel said he was after. There was no way that I could possibly be the pure blood wolf that Mikel was looking for. However, looking at Killian at the moment, he didn't really seem like someone who was in his right senses, he was bleeding excessively, so bad that his clothes were soaked through. His body was getting very cold and his breathing from what I could feel, was erratic. A panic started to rise in my heart and I was scared that he would suddenly stop breathing. I was so terrified. I wanted to check around to see if there were people around to help me but I had no idea if it would be futile, leaving him here to find help. When I came back from prom, I never went inside for anything, I stayed outside waiting, so I couldn't tell if people were around or not. Still, I couldn't leave him. "Help!" I yelled out, "help!" I c
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
Camille's POVI had been worried sick ever since Killian brought home my son. He was not healing but he was alive and what was more excruciating for me was that he was in pain.I had never known a time in my life that I had been through such a thing before. I had never seen someone else undergoing this ordeal. It was all too sudden and new to me that I didn't know how to feel, nor what to do.The only emotion I could recognize when I thought things through was worry. I was undeniably worried about my son. I was so worried that I started to doubt if it was a good idea to bring him back. Killian had claimed that he was treating him and from how confident he sounded, he seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing and what was going on.I didn't. The person who even talked me into doing this was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't guess what Paula got from this game of hers. Paula had called me one evening and told me about where Mikel was and how he was fairing. I couldn't have guessed t
Killian's POVI laughed as I watched her laugh. Esmeralda had such a beautiful laugh.Coming to Berlin was impromptu, I was just in a hurry to show her that she was wrong to think life was so simple, that with me, this was the least of things that she would enjoy.Everything was perfect. The night was perfect, when I walked out of the bathroom, when I saw her naked on the bed, she was perfect.On her knees, doing a bad job at sucking me off, she was perfect.Everything felt like a dream, that for once, I get to be happy, I get to accept Esmeralda.What I couldn't stop thinking about was when she said those words to me.When she told me that she loved me. I had been busy staring through the window, looking at the city and how amazing it looked. I was happy that I brought her with me. Berlin was a beautiful place and it was one of my favorite cities and being here with her was perfect.I could've taken her to Paris but I wanted to go to my favorite places with her. I wanted to leave a
Esmeralda's POV I was suddenly overtaken by a sense of panic. I feared what it meant. I had never given it much thought before, I had never wondered what would become of my life since I developed these feelings for Killian. I had never worried much about anything. But now, the thought has succeeded in creeping into me, making my hands shake and my whole body spasm. I was standing in the middle of the room, Killian had excused himself, he wanted to make a call, probably had to do with the surprise that he was planning for the evening. I was left alone with my thoughts. I had never hated being alone, I had never hated being the one left in a whole. I didn't care about the loneliness, I didn't fear my thoughts because I always felt that they were just thoughts and there was nothing more to it. But here I was, overpowered by my thoughts. I kept thinking of what would happen to our lives, I kept thinking about how the trajectory of our lives have been altered. Killian has never men
Esmeralda's POVI bit my lip and realized that those words were dominating and as such, I was expected to be submissive.Killian was punishing me for whatever I might have done. He did mention that he was going to punish me but my brain has forgotten what I could've done because I was more focused on his finger that is buried inside me turning in circles, thrusting in and out in a slow motion.He dropped my leg that he had been holding, then he removed his finger from inside of me. I was disappointed because it wasn't what I wanted but then he took my hands and pulled it thereby lifting my upper body from the bed."You're not a pillow princess so don't act like one". He scolded."What do you want me to do?" I asked him.He guided my hand and placed it on his very hard and big erection. "Work for this".I bit my lip again. My finger grazed over the cap and the precum was waiting for me to feel its thickness.He pulled me closer to himself from my waist and buried his head into my ches
Esmeralda's POVI considered myself already kind of used to the kind of words Killian said and how he acted when he said those words but there was something different at the moment, maybe it was because we weren't in the same country anymore or because he and I had somehow become a couple.When he said those words I started to anticipate the second when we would go back to the hotel and he would take the dress off me. It became what I was ready for. Whatever he had planned for me even though I didn't know what it was at the moment, I lost interest in it. All I wanted for us to do was make our way into our hotel room and he would be pulling the dress off me.I looked around and found out that during the time I was spending standing in a spot trying to fathom just how weirdly those words affected me, Killian was already in the bathroom taking his bath so there was no one but me left to open the door for the person who was knocking.I was skeptical at first because I didn't want to open
Esmeralda's POVI ran my hand over my chest, giving him the sluttiest eyes I could muster."Oh Daddy"Killian almost lost it. He laughed so hard that he suddenly began to cough and meanwhile, k was wheezing beside him, about to lose my mind.We must've been such a pain in the ass of the driver because the second he stopped the car, he was outside holding the door open for me.I alighted the car with a warmth in my heart. I was happy. It was already nightfall and the wind was cold and the lights illuminated the city. It was wonderful. It looked wonderful.Suddenly, some fingers interlocked with mine accompanied by the smell of apples. It was perfect.He was perfect."We should get dinner"."Okay, but I'm still gonna smoke some weed or try molly"."Esmeralda, I don't have the contacts of people that sell".I frowned, "I thought you have the contacts of everyone?"He looked utterly confused, he took his hands back from mine and crossed them as he stared at me."Esmeralda, what could've
Esmeralda's POVStepping on the private jet, I had thought I would surely be so excited that I wouldn't sleep or even try to zone out.I wanted to see through the windows and guess alphabetically where we were going since Killian refused to let me know. Even though he didn't say the exact words, I knew he wanted it to be a surprise. I had a hunch that it would be Paris and if it really was Paris I certainly would be a bit disappointed.Paris was a beautiful city and known as the city of love but it was cliché. Every woman wanted to go to Paris, people went to Paris for honeymoons and all that and it was the spot for romance. I didn't want that. Sure I would love to see Paris one day but not because of a special event or maybe I was invited for a wedding there. If it wasn't the case, the case then I don't think I'd ever want to go there.It just didn't feel magical for me.Killian had no idea about all this. He was busy sipping wine and working on his laptop leaving me to myself. I wa
Esmeralda's POV.The last class of the day was literature. It wasn't a boring class. I loved the fiction and we were about indulging in the magic that Sylvia Path was.We were going to read one of her books and so we woukd be able to read the pieces of herself she left in the world.I had talked to the counselor about the major that was on my mind, she thought psychology was good for me since I had a passion to understand humans and the way they acted.The only issue became the college of my choice. She showed me a list of really good colleges in the country but I tokd her that I already knew where I wanted to go.She didn't seem disappointed to hear that I wanted to go the the states college. She thought it was a good choice and I was going to get accepted.Lucky me, it wasn't a long drive from Killian's house and so it was perfect. I get to continue living with Killian while I go to college.I had no desire to experience this or that, to meet new people or to have the full college e
