Esme’s POV“She’s not replying me yet,” I complained in frustration and Silvan pulled me into his embrace.“Give her time.” Ever since I woke up, I had been unable to sense Ira in me and after what Silvan said he saw, I had no idea on what was going on.According to him, something within me had struck at the moonstone and shattered it into pieces. The moonstone! That shit was harder than a diamond. And Silvan had claimed that I had broken it.“We would figure it out after we leave the meeting,” Silvan insisted and then squeezed my hands.“What if they ask about what happened?” Knowing his mother, she could spin the story as me being some nasty curse that needed to be killed.The very thought of that had my nerves tightening and I glanced at Silvan.“No one knows what happened last night,” he said. “What?” “I sensed something was wrong before the stone shattered and created an illusion before everyone eyes. To everyone, the initiation went well and they don’t even know you passed o
Esme’s POV“It’s not going to be such a long journey, besides, I just started this series…” I tried again and the hard look in Silvan’s eyes made me keep quiet.“I’ll handle it. There’s no way I’m letting you sit in the car for that journey, Esme.”His tone was final and I knew that there was no arguing with Silvan when he used that tone on me. Especially since this last week had just been him giving in to my every whim and request.“I agree, it’s an impossible journey, it’s probably something that Sophie planned to make you give up,” Rue said from the side and I shrugged, showing that I had given up.As I glanced at the two boxes that I had packed for the trip, my eyes grew misty from reluctance.I had quickly gotten used to being with Silvan everyday and Rue dropping by to work while I studied, and sometimes, worked.It was almost like we had been waiting to be friends all our lives and somehow, I wished I could take her along with me. But Rue had never stepped foot outside the emp
Esme's POVI winced in pain and ran my tongue over my already dry lips, taking note of the weird metallic taste that lingered. It was a haunting reminder of the intense struggle I had just endured.Blood? I wasn't surprised. The fight between me and the rogues that attacked us minutes ago was not an easy one. Thankfully, they had hurried away after making sure that I was beaten to a pulp.The tangy taste of my own blood filled my mouth, and I spat again, turning my body to face upwards while my back lay on the tarred roadside."This is definitely not how I imagined my day to be,” I groaned tiredly, stretching my limbs to offer some sort of relief to my aching muscles.The sun was scorching hot, I squinted my eyes painfully to curtail the amount of sun rays entering into my pupils. It felt like my head was on the verge of splitting into two. I could feel my heart hammering heavily against my ribcage.I was extremely exhausted, and the injuries I sustained from my struggles with the
Esme's POVI was met with Lois's worried eyes the moment my tired orbs flickered open. Relief instantly crossed her deep brown orbs as she quickly turned to Silvan, whom I didn't notice at first.“Esme," his voice was tender and soothing, "Do you feel any pain?" He asked calmly while wrapping his huge hands around my tiny ones in assurance.I inhaled deeply, memories of all that occurred the day before rushed into my mind as I made to spring out of bed.Silvan seemed to calculate my movement accurately because he was soon holding me down, worry lines etched on his forehead."Take it easy, your Lycan needs to relax to recuperate faster" he uttered, slowly laying me back to the bed."What happened? How is Sophie?" I managed to ask quietly, allowing Silvan to cover me properly.Lois exchanged glances with Silvan, and I felt my hair rise in curiosity."The queen swung into action the moment you slumped while reporting the attack. Some guards were sent to fetch Sophie and the driver.”Lo
Esme's POV Once we got outside the grand hall, I stopped abruptly causing Silvan to turn to me with raised brows. Back there in the gathering, the way he stood up for me made my heart flutter. I just didn't know why, but I felt like I should appreciate him at least."Is anything the problem? Do you.." "Thank you, Silvan. With your words back there, I rest assured I will be safe from the peering eyes and side talks.”Silvan pulled me closer to himself, gently engulfing me in a warm hug."You are my woman Esme. What use would I be to you if I can't protect you?" He pulled away and peered into my eyes"You are innocent of their accusation, I just needed to force it into their minds, no biggie""I know, but don't you think you sounded quite.."Silvan placed a finger on my lips to stop me from speaking further."Someday, you are going to be their Luna, someone they are all going to look up to, The queen of the Lycan empire. I can't have them talking ill of you now when they should be tr
Silvan's POVI watched Mother leave the hall after her pronouncement. She didn't mean what she said, right?Without wasting any more time, I mind-linked Draco and Paul, who noticed the change in my demeanour after that announcement."Come keep Esme company; I need to sort things out with Mother real quick,” I said and hurried away after giving Esme a small peck on her cheek.I hurried after Queen Diane, and the moment she noticed me, she increased her pace, rushing towards her quarters as if trying to escape me.I chased her, determined to speak to her before she disappeared into her chambers."Mother, you should rephrase your pronouncement because I will not abide by it,” I called after her, and she finally stopped, buying me enough time to approach her."Did you forget what happened to Esme and Sophie on their way to the human world the day before? I can't risk letting Esme leave this place again, unguarded.”"And who said anything about no protection? Of course, Esme shall be given
Esme's POVThe bright sun shining directly on my sleepy eyes made me face the other side of my bed only to come in contact with a hard body lying beside me.I forced my eyes open, squinting slightly as a result of too many sun rays. My eyes settled on the masculine figure of Silvan sleeping peacefully beside me.Memories of our time together last night flowed in and I blushed shyly.After the intimate kiss we shared, with Silvan running and caressing my body with his long, tender fingers, We had cuddled with him, whispering soothing words and promises of being by my side through everything.Once more, I reminded him that I was more than capable of handling things on my own as it was no big deal for me.But he gently reminded me that the first project, which was the electricity supply from the werewolf clan to the human government that I had already won, was still pending, and so needed to be attended to as well.His reminder underscored my intentions of handling things regarding the
Esme's POVThe first light of the morning sun the next day painted the sky with soft hues of pink and orange. I and Silvan walked out of the room at the same time, bags packed and anticipation shimmering in my eyes.We made our way to the Lycian garage, where several sleek cars were parked.A gasp escaped my lips at the number of cars parked professionally in the garage, I wondered how many Silvan owned to himself.Silvan pointed to one of the cars, a black Lamborghini and one of the guards made to open it. He raised his hands in the air, stilling the guard's movement."I will drive, bring two extra cars with you,” he said curtly, and the guard bowed in acceptance.Silvan took the car keys and led me to it. He opened the door of the posh Lamborghini, its interior filled with soft, luxurious wolf fur and equipped with advanced navigation charms. With a sense of anticipation, I settled into the plush leather seat, my fingers brushing against the smooth surface.Silvan took the driver
