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 POVI looked back to Fowler after hearing just what he said. From his expression, he seemed to trust in his words, believing what he was saying.I wasn't well versed in the terminologies, nor did I know how it worked. But from picking things up here and there. I have found out quite a few things, grasping a shred of understanding concerning the world of werewolves.Months ago, I never believed werewolves existed that it was all just fantasy and all, but Killian was proof that not only were they real. They are not particularly democrats, no, they were led by an alpha and it wasn't a kingdom but a pack."Since Killian is an alpha now, does that mean he's likely to form a pack?" I asked Fowler.This question might have come aa a surprise tk him, his eyes flicked from Killian to rest on my own. He was evidently trying to remember the question I had asked him.He was speechless and was only staring."No," a sound came, but it wasn't from Fowler because i was staring at him and
Killian's POV.I could already smell Esmeralda's presence, her smell was distinct and the smell of hee blood overwhelmed me more than before. I didn't know how I had never taken the time to process how she smelt like, I knew there was something special about her especially as she was mated to two people.However, I could never have guessed that the smell waa because she was a pure blood wolf. I had seen her eyes glow in a beautiful color and I knew right away that Esmeralda was different. I was drawn to her in a way that I never thought and I love every bit of how she made me feel. Esmeralda was something else the world has never seen and I wanted to protect her from people that would see her the way I have seen her and would want nothing but to bring her harm or use her for their own gain.Mike for example.I couldn't stop staring at her, if by chance I ever decide to form a pack, in my heart it would solely be to protect her. I cared for her and didn't want to cause her any form o
Killian's POVThe look in Mikel's eyes made me think that for a certain my eyes glowed. His face was pale like his blood had been drained from his body. His eyes were round and the pupils shrunk in size,vhe stumbled back on his feet in fear as he scrutinized me again to make sure that it really was me and nobody else."You're an alpha," he said.I nodded my head, "did you think you actually succeeded in killing me?"Mikel shook his head, "all I wanted were your guns, it was your fault for being there, Gonzalez was right to have shot you".I chuckled bitterly, finding it hard to believe what Mikel was saying. "What about those workers, was it also their fault for going to work?""You killed them! Was it their fault?!" I growled at him.He stumbled on his feet, finding it hard to maintain his posture, he fell to his ass, he must've been terrified of how scary I seemed. "How did you do it?" He was visibly shaking. I shrugged, "Gonzalez couldn't kill me and one of us had to die. The po
Esmeralda's POV.I felt an abnormal movement in my bed. I knew it was weird, there was a dip in the bed that normally shouldn't be there. My heart was beating very fast, I was scared that someone had come to kill me or do something equally as horrible. I was too scared to open my eyes because I was afraid.A part of me suspected that it was Mikel, he must've come here for the sake of vengeance. I had insulted and slapped him across the face, it's normal that that move would destroy his arise and so he would vow to come at me.Still, the movement did nit stop, it was kike the person was scared of waking me up and was trying their hardest to be a little bit subtle. Unfortunately for them, I had not been sleeping, I was dozing off, thinking about Killian and his new found status as an alpha and from what susan told me, i estimated that his Luna would be Paula, he was getting married to her.And at the same time he was kissing me in a school's parking lot and doing all such unholy thing
Killian's POVAfter I came back from the office, I realized that I haven't seen Esmeralda since the morning. It was the weekend so there was no way she would be going to school.Initially I had no plans to leave the house but if Fowler hadn't called I would've stayed in with Esmeralda.Esmeralda's question this morning had been on my mind throughout and even when the police came looking for proof against Mikel, the thought came back.She had brought up Paula, my marriage with Paula and that made me think of a lot of things. The same way I was supposed to be married to Paula, Mikel was meant to mark Esmeralda.I didn't want that, I don't even want to marry Paula. Mikel wanted to use Esmeralda before anyone even found out that she was a pure blood wolf. I wonder what he would do if he ever were to find out.I could imagine, he would make sure he did everything possible so that she would become his, so that he would be the one to benefit from her powers.Mikel waa a psychopath and Esmera
Esmeralda's POV.I opened the door, waiting for him to say those same words to my face. I opened the door, opened my ears and opened my heart waiting for him to give me a faint idea of what he waa feeling. I knew he liked to kiss me and to sneak into my room at night to sleep beside me, these are hints that I purposefully ignored because we're not children that cannot express our emotions through our words.Being man enough to tell the other what was in our hearts.However, it seemed like I was the only one who thought this way. I had expected that a grown man like Killian would be able to think the same thing.But as he stared at me with soft eyes, he stared at me with hesitant eyes, with eyes that looked so deep and so emotional, I knew he was too scared to admit to his feelings, I knew it.But then he opened his mouth and said, "Esmy," he said, "I don't want you to go".Maybe all I wanted wasn't plain and simple, maybe what I wanted was just a tiny bit of affirmation that in fact
