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
Silvan's POVI received information from the men I secretly put in charge of Esme's safety that she reunited with a relative of hers earlier that day.From the description that was sent to me, there was no doubt it was Amy, her adopted sister who had been declared missing a few weeks after Esme left the pack.More like, weeks after the incompetent fool, Calvin banished herI knew about Amy's disappearance from the werewolves from the vicious canine pack that I placed in Howell's pack to monitor every activity until Esme was ready to take her legal place.On several occasions, the guards had sent me complaints of missing wolves of which Amy was later included in the list.I did not let Esme know however because I didn't want her to worry so much given their closeness and bond.But I had made the resolution to make time to go down to Howell Pack one of these days to see things for myself.The guards had also informed me that Esme and Amy would be going around the human world for some fu
Silvan's POV"Invite four different truth finders from all over the Lycian empire. This matter can only be judged in their presence and based on their observation after hearing both sides of the story. This exercise will take place in the courtroom where the other members of the pack's council will be present to offer their own views" I announced and walked out of the room.I know very well that Esme has nothing to do with this attack but with Sophie's contradictory comments, I am left with no choice but to go to every length to see that the matter is looked into again.Sophie was led to the courtroom by Kathie and another servant who supported her on both sides. Though I felt her actions were pretentious, I didn't want to be quick to judge. Moreover, she might actually be in serious pain.Lois and Draco came running a few minutes later, their brows raised in confusion and curiosity as well."There are rumours that Sophie brought up the topic of the attack again after she woke up. W
Silvan's POVThe main door opened and an angry lady Sue from the Royal Academy barged in furiously. As Sophie's mother the headmistress of the Academy and so, a well-known entity in the pack. Her demeanour changed instantly to a calmer one as soon as she saw me at the base of the stairs.She bowed lowly, "Greetings Alpha Silvan""What brings you to the main house, Lady Sue?" I returned without a trace of friendliness.She smiled nervously with her head still bowed low, "Earlier this morning, I got wind of the news that my daughter, Sophie was currently being questioned regarding the incident that led to her comaShe just woke up Your Highness, isn't questioning her too sudden?" "Your daughter asked for it, lady Sue. She laid allegations claiming the incident was a planned one and that lady Esme attacked her first" I returned "Perhaps it is the truth, Your Highness, my daughter is not one to bear false witness or lie against someone" Lady Sue retorted, her voice sounding sure and u
Silvan's POV"Tie a blindfold around his eyes and lead him inside the courtroom at once,” I ordered, and Madam Helen left to carry out my instructions.Mother stared at me fondly, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips."Very nice Silvan, that way, the truth finder will not be able to tell the identity of who is speaking to him. Smart choice indeed" Draco said through our mind link.Lois also nodded in support as we awaited the truth finder.The crowd began to talk amongst themselves, everyone anticipating how this case would finally be settled.Madam Helen returned with the truth finder, and as expected, he had a tight blindfold around his eyes.He was led to the centre of the room and was allowed to stand alone.The truth finder bowed in respect for the important entities present in the room with him."Greetings Your Highness, I am Fredrick from the eastern part of the empire. My lycan ability is lie detection, and with all due respect, I am at your service""Great. The lady who
Esme's POV These few days with Amy have been massively fun and interesting. Amy had always been a busy bee, through her, I became familiar with most places and facilities in the human world.She already quit her job as a cleaner and has been with me ever since, though I haven't taken her to any of the meetings, I plan to do so soon.Today is one of the fun days with Amy. We were currently sitting in a cafe for brunch.The human world was very different from our werewolf pack and quite similar to the Lycian empire in terms of development and population.I had ordered a cup milkshake with some doughnuts while Amy had a huge cake in front of her which she ate with relish."You do know you can get sick from eating all that sugar,” I teased."Fortunately, I'm no human and so cannot be sickly like humans who are weak,” she returned with a wide grin before she resumed stuffing her mouth.“So, have you gotten your wolf yet?" Amy's face dropped at my question, she turned her face to the side
Esme's POVAmy still had a confused expression from the moment we left the mall until we got to the hotel. We jointly carried the shopping bags inside and started bringing out the items we purchased."Why did you suddenly ask that we go after your conversation with the strange man?" She finally voiced out her thoughts."I knew you would ask. Well, I don't feel very comfortable around the human, and I don't know why.”"But humans are nice, he's probably trying to get to know you better.”"That is more of the reason why I should avoid him at all costs""Avoid him? Why?""Because he is human Amy and do you know why humans are still relating freely with us? They think we are one of them when we aren't. What if he discovers I am not human by being too close to me?""That could be bad.”“Yes, Amy, besides, he is vying for the database project as well,” I finished with a shrug.My phone pinged with a notification, and when I opened it, an excited scream left my lips.I pulled Amy in a big
# 69.Esme’s POVLife was slowly getting better. First, I had Amy back, secondly, things were going fine with Silvan. In moments like this, they felt too good to be true, yet, I allowed myself to gaze at the perfection that was Silvan’s face before getting up from the bed.As much as I was tempted to sleep in, I knew there was a lot of work to do. More importantly, today was the first bidding for the project. I couldn’t dare to slack.“You are working even harder than the team members,” Silvan’s voice, still hoarse from just waking up rang out behind me and my body tensed slightly from the close proximity.Was I ever going to stop reacting to him being close.“I’m the team leader, it’s only normal that I work harder. Besides, I don’t really trust one of the opposing team.” There was something about Kane that constantly made me feel like I needed to be cautious. Yet, time and time, he had presented himself like someone that I needed. I didn’t like that. However, if I could get the
