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
Esme's POVI met Silvan just outside the board room the moment I left the room. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he made to hold my hand.The door opened and Mark hurried outside, some files in hand."Miss Esme, a word please" he requested, quickening his steps to meet up with me.A sense of recognition flashed across his eyes the moment he saw Silvan next to me. He instantly bowed, "Your Highness, I didn't realise you have come over to the human city as well"Silvan kept a stoic face, "Is that what you have come to say to Lady Esme? Get on with it already" he returned coldly. I had to send him a warning glance from the corners of my eyes, what's the point of being so rude?"Right away, Miss Esme it's about the report of the project so far. You should take a look.”"Certainly, is it ready now?" I returned with anticipation."How about tomorrow? Some information still needs to be compiled and also, you have a meeting with the CEO of one of the companies who are also interested in
Esme's POVSilvan left the next morning with promises to return as soon as the function was over.The previous night had been a memorable one for me.As I stood in front of the mirror studying my reflection, I couldn't help but notice the vivid hickeys Silvan had left on my skin.A warm blush spread across my cheeks as I caressed the diamond necklace he had gifted me last night fondly, it was a reminder of the passionate night we had shared.I left the bathroom to prepare for work when I received a notification on my phone and so proceeded to access it.It's been a smooth process working with the team on the unifying project to provide the human government with a database. The team was composed of both Lycans and humans while my own team for the first project had werewolves in higher numbers than humans. But despite the fact that we are not the same, we worked diligently with unity, our differences not posing a threat to make us slag behind.Besides, the humans could not discern tha
Esme's POV"Gather everyone" I told Mark as soon as I rounded up my discussion with Mr. KaneWhile he worked on getting the team together for a brief meeting as I requested, I made sure to go through my jottings while in the meeting that was just concluded.Together we drove towards the meeting venue and on our arrival, the team members settled around the table.I stood in the middle of the room, my face stern and void of any friendly demeanour.Everyone seemed to notice my mood since it was clearly unusual and were curious to know what might be up with it.Silence hung in the room as the members exchanged glances, waiting for me to start speaking.I took a moment to gather my thoughts as I prepared to address the team."I'm convinced you are all aware of what day today is and how important it is to the team" I started off.From the tone of my voice, one can tell how serious whatever I have come to address is."As team leader and representative to the Morak corporation at large, I am
Silvan's POVI found myself checking my wrist watch repeatedly as I awaited Esme's arrival from work.Just this evening, an unexpected emergency came up at the empire and my immediate presence was needed to solve the issue.No matter how hard I thought about excuses that could prevent me from going back home, the only solution remained on my returning back to the Lycan empire.Besides, duty called and I was bound to answer because the responsibilities that came with my position as the Alpha of the pack was non-negotiable. With the intention to create a memorable experience for Esme before my departure to the Lycan empire, I had gone out earlier this evening to purchase variety of items ranging from bright exquisite flowers, to accessories and chocolates.As a matter of fact, I purchased everything that could make Esme happy that I could think of.I also ordered some good meal and had skilled professionals decorate the rooftop of the hotel to look like we were having an actual date.S
Esme's POVThe lady had just returned the document to me when I got a clearer view of her face. My eyes widened in surprise, "Amy?"She turned to me too, her features mirroring mine. Time seemed to stand still as recognition dawned upon her."Esme.. it's you.. sister" her voice came out shaky and choked with emotions.Tears welled up in my eyes as I hugged her tightly, feeling the warmth of her embrace. It had been two months since I last saw Amy, my younger sister. Though not related by blood, she was taken into the Howell family by my father and we grew up together.The memories of our times together back at the pack flooded my mind as tears of joy rolled down my cheeks.Because of Calvin's silly pronouncement that day on the new moon festival, we had grown apart, both physically and emotionally. But she was here now and I couldn't help my curiosity to know how much had changed and what remained the same in the pack house. Finally breaking out of the hug, I took a better look a
Esme's POVConvinced that there was nothing left on my schedule for the day, I urged Amy to follow me back to the hotel.She readily agreed given that we've missed each other and there was still a lot of catching on to do.I made sure she took off that ugly Janitor's uniform and changed into the outfit she wore to work, a simple plaid skirt and a tank top.She had revealed to me that she did not have a room or house of her own and had been squatting with a kind human she met on her first day here in her small house.Looking at Amy's condition, I couldn't help but blame myself over and over for not making arrangements to see to her comfort as soon as I left the pack.Amy is the only family I have left and it is my responsibility to ensure her safety and well-being.We may have not grown up with a mother figure given that we never knew her identityBut growing up, I've always felt this motherly instinct towards Amy, and as I realised that she had been suffering all these while since I l
