Chapter 105Silvan's POVAs soon as I got out of my car, I made my way into the mansion, ignoring the greetings of the servants and others in the pack house. Paul stood at the base of the stairs, waiting to receive me since I told him that I was on my way back. The smile on his face faltered the moment he noticed my cold expression, he adjusted his tie nervously."Welcome Al.."I cut him off before he could finish."I want to meet with the members of the council now" I ordered curtly, walking past him and heading straight to my mother's chambers.Paul rushed after me, "Alpha, I know you want to go see the queen Dowager, but she's not in at the moment" I stopped in my tracks and turned to Paul with fiery eyes, "Where is she? She knew I was coming and made a run for it, right? She took her personal maid with her didn't she?" "You need to calm down Alpha Silvan..""Don't give me that trash about calming down, Paul, I'm fed up with her and her silly minions. She better remain in hidi
Chapter 106Silvan's POVI decided to visit Sophie before retiring to my quarters to rest for the day. The last I heard from her was the day I left the empire after the news of Esme's ambush. In a bid to help Sophie, I arranged for a new medical method to aid her recovery since the works of the physician were doing nothing to her.I needed to see how authentic the new method has proven itself to be, hence my visit to her.The nurse in charge of Sophie's case was about to leave the room when I entered, she did a low curtsy"Your Highness"I returned her greeting with a subtle nod, "How is she?" I asked referring to Sophie whom I could see from the transparent show glass."Lady Sophie is better now, thanks to the humans' method of treating their sick ones, she is recovering rapidly Alpha.Her skin colour has returned to its radiant shade and she is no longer pallid, her appetite has also increased greatly.With these developments, I'm certain she would be up and bubbly in a few days"
Chapter 107Esme's POVAfter a lot of persuasion, I finally agreed to go out with Rue again. Initially, I wanted us to catch up while staying indoors but guess Rue had other plans.I didn't tell her about my ordeal in the abandoned warehouse though. I didn't want to be bombarded with loads of questions, Rue can be annoyingly curious at times."We can stop by a friend's place, she's having a housewarming party today" she chirped endlessly I gave her a side stare, "What friend are you talking about?""Mia, she's human and a nice person too, you will love her when you meet her trust me""Hey, who said anything about meeting someone? Because I definitely did not ask to go with you""I know Esme. Okay fine, you can decide not to mingle with anyone, we can just grab drinks and leave after sharing pleasantries with the host of course" "Count me out Rue and remember we shouldn't be hanging around late in the evening, it's not safe. Remember how we were almost abducted?""We will be careful
Chapter 108Esme's POV "Have you seen the news?" Amy finally uttered, her tone filled with mystery and excitement.I instantly grabbed my phone to see for myself, whatever news she was talking about."What news?" I voiced out while operating my phone with my eyes skimming over every writeup on the screen."It's about the director, the case regarding his attack has been solved and the perpetrators have been captured and put behind bars. Isn't that good news for you Esme, the project you've been working tirelessly for will kick off in no time" Amy blabbed, a wide smile on her young face.I released the breath I didn't know I was holding, "I thought something terrible had happened" I mumbled incoherently while rubbing my pounding chest.I turned to Amy with a stern look, "Don't scare me like this again, for a moment, the goddess forbid it, I thought something bad had happened to you. Why did you run up to me, panting heavily like someone who was being chased?""Wait, you didn't like th
Chapter 109Esme's POVAfter long hours of searching through every book that could provide a solution to me and finding nothing related to my situation, I left the library for Silvan's quarters.Besides, I needed to see him before he wandered off again for one duty or the other. Silvan was already heading for the library when I met him halfway, his eyes were filled with concern as he gently took my hand."Princess, you were taking so long, I had to come get you. Is everything okay?" I thought about telling him about Ira but the fear that it might mean something worse than I imagined caused me to let out a faux smile instead."Of course, everything is all good" "Are you sure?" His eyes were squinted."I.. Urmm.. why don't we leave already? I'm quite exhausted from the journey" I replied instead, pulling him away.He trudged behind me, his brows still creased in uncertainty."How about Amy? I don't hear her chirpy voice around" I observed."She should be in her room, I made sure all
Chapter 110Kane’s POVI replayed the footage of Esme fighting off the men who abducted her for the umpteenth, mesmerized by her strength. I just couldn't get enough of it.Watching her was not enough, I longed to touch her physically too, to feel her soft skin under mine. To have her scream and beg for me to drill her without mercy.That was one of my biggest fantasies ever since I learned about her place in Silvan's heart and it is only a matter of time before I fulfill it.I had purposely followed Esme to the cafe as soon as the men I placed on the lookout for her informed me that she had finally left the hotel room. Before then, I had been informed about Silvan leaving for the empire yet again and was hatching the perfect plan to meet with Esme.But all my plans were already close to impossible with the security guards Silvan had placed in all corners of the hotel to ensure Esme's safety. As soon as I learned she was finally out of the hotel, I made sure there would be nothing t
Chapter 111Silvan's POVI placed a call to Paul, a few minutes after Esme left with Rue and Amy."The girls are out" I stated curtly, standing up from the bed and moving towards the door, "Meet me in the study room" I finished and went off the line.Even though Amy needed to get familiar with the Empire, asking Rue to take them on a girl's night out was just a scheme I and Paul drafted to get Esme away from the mansion so as to buy us enough time to plan for the big event I had in mind.The thought of it made me nervous as heck, I could feel sweat starting to form on my palm as I paced about the room.Paul came in soon enough, a mocking grin on his features as he stared at my nervous state."Can't believe the soon-to-be King of the Lycian empire would fidget so much because of a woman" Paul teased, making himself comfortable on the seat in front of my desk."What? Are you having a hard time thinking of the best way to nail this?" He continued his taunts. I gave him a hard glare"Obvi
Chapter 112Esme's POVRue dragged me into the fitting room, located at the farthest end of the mall. Before I could whine about how I was not ready to get more clothes, she dumped all the wears she had selected earlier for me to try on."Go ahead Esme, one of them will surely fit" Amy added, helping Rue to throw in more clothes at me.I groaned in frustration, "is there any need to try all of these on? I could just pick one and save myself this stress" "True, but I want to see how you look like in the others too" Rue returned and Closed the curtains before pulling Amy to sit in front of the fitting room."We are waiting for you, My lady" Rue called from outside and I rolled my eyes inwardly.I glared at the pile of clothes in my hands before dumping it on the vacant seat in the small room, Rue can be such a pin in the neck."I can't believe she's slowly turning Amy to be like her too" I grumbled before picking up one of the clothes and trying it on."It fit perfectly" I muttered ha
