Killian's POVAfter Paula left my room to hers, I kept thinking about what she said. She wanted me to do some things for her, she wanted me to choose her over Esmeralda.It was impossible.I couldn't make that choice, I couldn't choose between the two of them because I loved Esmeralda but Paula was pregnant with my child. It was a hard choice and I couldn't do what she wanted.I lay in bed all through the night thinking about what Paula had said. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't even try to get myself to focus on other matters like the issue with Mikel and the snitch in my company.I was thinking of Esmeralda, of Paula.A knock came from my door. I thought it could be Esmeralda so I opened the door.It was Paula and she was in tears."I just had a terrible dream, I dreamt that you left me, that you abandoned us and I can't sleep". She wrapped her hands around me in that instant and I carried her into my room."Please Killian," she said to me, "send her away Killian, please send her away"
Killian's POVI stood there focusing my attention on them, I was ready for anything they were to say or any slightest reaction from them.Esmeralda had been right to be worried about them. From the last time I saw the woman, something had changed with her, she wasn't as attractive as she once was and her eyes held fear. She was scared of something and I needed to know what.I remembered the day I had first met her at school when she was told that Esmeralda and her daughter had been in some kind of a fight.She had looked at Esmeralda like she wasn't the one who took care of the child for years. It was as if she didn't even care about her and that all these years they spent together were all for nothing sake.This woman wasn't a good mother. She would have listened to Esmeralda, helped her or found someone to tell her what was going on with her child but she didn't. Instead, the first thing she did was to send Esmeralda out of her house, cutting off all ties with the girl.What if Esm
Hearing that from her made me very happy, but of course, I couldn't twirl and dance over the piece of news. I turned my head away from her and glanced at izan who was on his knees looking at me. From where I stood, he looked like a lost puppy who was pitiful and abandoned. I knew I could help him but I didn't want to involve myself without Esmeralda's knowledge. It made me begin to wonder where exactly he must've gotten bit. I wondered if it was done by Mikel or not, or if there was another scumbag in town trying to build a pack by biting innocent teenagers like Izan. The woman looked a bit calmer, her franticness from before had dissolved greatly and she looked better now. Her husband made his way over to where we all stood. He had a frown on his face on seeing me but as he entered the room and saw that Izan was better and that his wife was hugging and smothering Izan whilst crying, his frown softened and he also went ahead and pulled them into one big hug. Looking at the
Esmeralda's POV.To say I was shocked to see my mother was an understatement. I never expected her to come here directly, and although I had told Killian to meet with her I never expected her to come to school to see me. My heart skipped a beat. She looked slimmer than before, which hurt my feelings. I was worried for her. I loved her. I didn't want anything to happen to her, especially crying. it hurts me to see the tears in her eyes and made me cry as well. My knees were locked in. I could not move my feet, I was trapped. I had so much going on in my head. I wanted to ask her why she abandoned me. I wanted to ask her why she chose not to help me. I wanted to ask her a lot of things but I also wanted to know how Izan was feeling. However, the way she wailed made all those questions come to halt. I didn't care anymore about why she did what she did and why she treated me like that. All that mattered was how I wanted to erase those tears from my eyes. it could be because I loved he
Killian's POV I didn't understand why Esmeralda was being so stubborn about this. Anytime I say something, she always has a counter thing to say. It was annoying. To be honest, she never listened to me, she always wanted to do her own thing. it was very very unbecoming of her. I have a reason for telling her that she needed a bodyguard, but she would never listen to me. She always thought she knew better. Maybe it's because there was a time I made her feel like that, but I can't remember because all I remember was that I was mean to her. she is an exemplary child, a good girl but she is too fucking stubborn and she would never listen to me. Esmeralda was good for other things, she had her good sides but her shortcomings sometimes seemed so overwhelming that I can hardly keep up with her. and when I yelled at her, it wasn't what I intended to do. I mean I had hurt her and I never intended to hurt her feelings. I knew those things that I said and how I said them were not appreci
Esmeralda's POV I kept to myself throughout the drive back home, I had nothing to say to Killian and it seemed like he had nothing to say to me either. We had dropped my mum at her house, my brother Izan was nothing like how I imagined him to be when she had told me that Izan was like me, that he was behaving the way I did. I was expecting him to have claws or fangs but he looked like a normal teenager, I didn't see a hint of the werewolf in him. I didn't know what had happened before and nobody told me anything. I didn't even want to ask Killian even though he was sitting right beside me, nevertheless, I was happy that Izan was not in any way in danger, that he was not a particular menace to the society. I was happy that he was well but of course I didn't want anybody to see that I was happy. It was still hard for me to even figure out what to do about the fact that my mother had risked everything just to make sure he was okay. But she didn't do that for me, my head was still
Esmeralda's POV I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think of anything. I didn't know why Killian would say something like that. It was getting very hard for me to keep my head focused and my eyes were heavy. I couldn't understand why Killian would even say something like that, no matter how much I try to think but I just couldn't. My head was too heavy, my heart was aching so bad and it felt like my world was coming to an end. Everything is getting quite hard for me, my legs are getting very weak and I can't think, I can't act, I can't do anything. I was stuck. The only thing I felt like doing was falling down. I'm just staying there. I didn't feel like standing up again. I didn't feel like moving and I didn't feel like talking. I didn't feel like anything. I was tired, no matter how many times Killian showed me that I could not trust him, every time it was always a blow straight to my heart and it was always something I couldn't even take, something I could not even understand, just lik
Killian's POV Paula wrapped me in a hug after I said those words to her. I was honest at a bare minimum, she did matter to me, I cared about her but I also cared about Esmeralda. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I couldn't help it, I can't just wake up in the morning and not love Esmeralda. it was impossible and although I didn't show her, although I didn't prove it to her and made sure to choose Paula over her time and again, it didn't mean I didn't care about her. I did. But what could I do? I have a responsibility to Paula, especially now that she is pregnant. Before, it used to be just that I respected her, I felt guilty. Because she had left her mate for me, but it wasn't the case anymore, now I was obligated to care for her, now it was more than just me, it was more than the guilt I felt, more than the respect I have for her. Now there was a child involved, I couldn't just leave her no matter how much I wanted to. I couldn't. And most times, I tried to console myself, say
