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
Chapter 113Silvan's POV It was in the early hours of the morning, the sun rays though warm were bright and piercing through the window to the room where I and my mate and soon-to-be wife spent the night.Her chest rose and fell as she slept soundly, not willing to wake up anytime soon. A satisfied smile stretched across my face.Last night had been memorable for the both of us and understanding that Esme might still be tired from our intimacy, I decided not to disturb her rest as I slowly crept out of bed.The slight shuffling that came as a result of my absence from the bed made her pout cutely as she adjusted sleepily.I held my laughter in, resisting the urge to grab her cute face in my hands and kiss the heck out of it. I had things to do and in as much as I enjoyed staring at my sleeping beauty, duties called.I blew her sleeping frame a kiss before disappearing into the bathroom to prepare for the morning court as it was part of my duties for the day.Paul was already waiting
Chapter 114Esme's POVI stretched my arms towards Silvan's side of the bed to see that it was cold. He left, already?My eyes stirred open before I slowly sat up from bed, "what time is it?" I asked rhetorically and turned to the wall clock to see that it was already late in the morning.I sprang out of bed to pull the curtains open, wincing as the sun's rays shone directly on my face. Silvan must have closed the curtain so that I won't be disturbed by the rays.A smile etched on the corners of my lips and as I started putting everything we had littered around the room in place, my eyes fell on the ring Silvan had given me.A blush crept up to my cheeks as I reminisced on the events of last night, Silvan's proposal, and our intimacy which was dripping with love and affection that we hold for each other.There was no faking it, I love Silvan as much as he loves me, and I am ready to be with him for life, until death do us part. He had whispered in my ears as he fucked me that the wed
Chapter 115Esme's POVWe arrived at Diane's chambers in no time, "wait here" I instructed Odelia and knocked on the huge mahogany door before me."Come in" Diane's calm voice called from inside.I pushed the door open and walked in to see her standing on the window side, her back against me. She turned to face me, a faux smile on her face.I curtsied respectfully, "Your Majesty""Please sit" she returned, gesturing towards a vacant seat in the room. I walked towards it as she carried a tray of tea to join me, "Tea?" She asked as she tilted the jug to pour some into the teacups.My eyes narrowed suspiciously at her, is she trying to poison me now?"Don't even think about it Esme, I can't do anything rash, especially after Silvan's warnings. Besides, he knows I sent for you so poisoning you will only put me in more trouble" she uttered with a sigh.I nodded slightly as she poured some for me before filling her cup too."Drink up, it's made from ginseng, I made sure to add enough honey
Chapter 116Silvan’s POVI decided to call Doran on my way back to my side of the palace. I needed to hear updates they had, concerning the culprit as regards the Director's case.As planned earlier, Arresting those two was just a scheme to distract the human government from knowing about our existence while we focused on finding the main culprit behind the attack.Esme had woken up long before now, she had also gone to see my mother and according to the Shadow guard I placed to keep an eye on her for her safety, she had just returned to the room.I missed her already and since I was done with my royal duties for the day, I decided to return to her warm embrace.Doran picked up almost instantly"Alpha, I was about to call" he uttered with a sense of urgency.My brows creased, "What's going on, Doran?" I asked, my voice was calm and collected.Doran took a deep breath to calm down too, "We've been researching the case of the Director's attack as instructed. All fingers still point to t
