Esme’s POV

Silvan’s gaze flickered and he glanced away, not willing to meet my eyes. However, that only made me more curious.

Was this something that had happened before?

“Gather the other team members, we would meet in the cafeteria,” I instructed and then shut the door as soon as the both of them left.

I strained my ears, confirming that the both of them had gone before I turned to face Silvan, “What’s going?”

“And, don’t even think about lying to me,” I threatened and Silvan’s face spread into a sly grin.

He laced his fingers with mine and led me back into the room.

“About three years ago, there was some influx of attacks like this in this city. The government kept eyes on the woods and started trying to track everyone more carefully since they couldn’t explain the attack.”

My brows tightened at his revelation, “same as this kind of attack?”

Silvan nodded with a grimace.

“Exactly like this, indoors and in places where wolves shouldn’t be found at all,”

    Esme’s POV“Overdressed for the occasion?” My brows creased with disgust as I took in his all-black outfit. “I think you are the one that’s dressed for the wrong occasion.” He was dressed like he was attending some funeral. Kane shrugged, his eyes raking all over my body. For one, I was glad that Silvan had entered the cafeteria a step ahead of me. Otherwise, only the goddess knew what he would have done if he saw Kane looking at me this way. “I heard a person died and the project would be postponed. It’s only normal that I dress to fit the occasion,” he explained in his annoying drawl. Was the director dead? I cast one more glance at Kane and nodded, “in that case, I’ll leave you to mourn,” I said and then hurried off. There were more important things to do than talking with some haughty CEO who didn’t seem to think on the same wavelength as normal people. More than anything, I always found myself uncomfortable around him. Like some fifth sense telling me to get the fuck away

    Silvan’s POVI have never worked hand in hand with someone like this, and I hadn’t expected it to feel this good. We were rubbing minds together, and it wasn’t just me dishing out commands.“Esme!” an exasperated voice rang behind us. Esme swiped her room card. Ann, her adopted sister that I had seen around her for some time back, rushed towards her and threw herself in Esme’s embrace.My eyes narrowed, and I pushed back the rising jealousy curling in my stomach. It had to be because we hadn’t sealed the mate bond yet. But, regardless of how many times we slept together, I couldn’t understand why Esme’s Lycan was unwilling.“I have searched all over for you,” she cried as she buried her head in Esme’s bosom.I pushed my wolf back one more time. Unwilling to cause a scene here. Besides, she was just a girl, right?Esme’s eyes flickered with worry as she wrapped her arms around Ann.“What’s the matter, Ann?” “I’m here now,” she added, rubbing soothing circles on the girl’s back.“W…

Eventually, after about two hours, they were done, and his vitals seemed better.“We need to confirm if there’s poison and find the best way to help him fight it off. Otherwise, all of these would go to waste,” the lead doctor said solemnly, and one of the nurses scribbled behind him. After that, the group left, and Esme sighed in relief. She stood and stretched, “I thought they would be here forever.” “Let’s hurry; he might not be awake for long,” I warned as I stood up and moved to his side. Esme acted quickly and stood before the man. I watched his eyes widen in fear of seeing her and her informal dress.“Who are you?” He croaked out. He couldn’t see me since I was wrapped in another illusion, making him think only one person was there.Leaning in, Esme bent until she was close to his ears and whispered, “I’m here to help you.” The man’s eyes flickered, and he glanced a

    Esme’s POVI hadn’t realized how exhausted I had been from the trip to the hospital until I got back and crashed immediately.My nostrils flared at the smell of food that wafted into them every now and then. “Silvan,” I grumbled, knowing that he was doing this intentionally.“Hehe, you both are so used to playing lovebirds, you are even seeing him in your sleep now?” I sat up, my eyes widening at the familiar voice and I lunged at her without even thinking.“Careful there,” Ira warned inside my head and I gave her a mental eye roll before wrapping my arms around Rue.“Rue!” up until this moment, with my arms wrapped around her, I hadn’t realized how much I missed her before now.“I have been here for like three hours,” Rue said as she pulled me in again, allowing her sweet scent to rub all over me. “I…” I could barely find the words to say to her and eventually, I just kept quiet and soaked in her presence.“Silvan gave my father and brothers a royal appeal to have them release me.

    Silvan’s POVI gave our surroundings a quick glance, confirming that if I needed to give him a dirty slap, or some punch on the face, I would not draw excessive attention. “What are you saying?” I asked, trying my best to remain indifferent. Because in truth, he had just one chance. One chance to prove that Esme wasn’t the person he wasn’t referring to, and that he didn’t deserve to lose a tooth—or maybe three.Kane’s lips curled upwards with a smug smile, “I’m saying that your new bitch seems to be more important than the first one you sent down.” That same word. Sent down. My eyes narrowed as I watched him carefully. This was not my first time meeting Kane. In fact, he had been desperate to leave an impression the first time we met. From outbidding all of the items I had my eyes on, to paying me a visit.I knew his type. But, now, my mind was spinning. And it was like there was some connection that my brain wanted to make from everything that was happening.What exactly did he w

    Esme. I was surprised to know that Sophie had allowed Kane to sleep with her. She was an empath, she should have been able to tell that Kane’s feelings were not sincere right?I shook my head, pushing the thought away and trying to focus on the more important news. We needed to solve this case if we needed the project to continue. But solving the case was quite tricky as the result we wanted to see was not what we needed the police to see.“If we solve it for them, they get to know about our type,” I voiced out as Silvan and I strolled around the resort. Every now and then, I noticed how his eyes moved around carefully, allowing me to know that this wasn’t some random stroll. Silvan was picking something from this.“I knew you would ask that,” he teased and I rolled my eyes to hide my pleased expression.“We have to falsify a solution that the police would believe. Anything lesser and they are going to keep sniffing around.” “Oh,” I mumbled, unable to hide my surprise. We were go

To think that I was even nicer.After finishing the coffee that we had ordered, we stood up and walked towards the guard, both of us communicating using the mindlink.“I think we should ask him to direct us somewhere and then we can corner him there,” I suggested and Rue giggled.“Are you sure you don’t want to join my team back at home? You have a lot of potential,” she praised and I flushed from embarrassment.“However, we would need to add in a little bit of seduction,” she added and my eyes widened. If Silvan knew that we had to resort to this for getting information, there would be no end to this.Rue chuckled, the sound ringing in my head and outside at the same time. “I’ll be doing the se

    Esme. “Get a towel,” I whispered to Olivia even though I could have used a mind link. Sammie was holding on to the guard’s wrist but her entire body was already soaked with sweat. Clearly, going through his memories was not an easy process for her.Olivia brought the towel just as Sammie’s brow’s crinkled together. I dabbed at her sweat carefully and then stepped back to wait. At the same time, I sent updates to Silvan to let him know we were making some progress. I had just tucked my phone back in my pocket when Sammie let out a loud yelp and then dropped the guard’s hands. I rushed to her at the same time with Rue and we helped her with support from both sides.“Are you okay?” Rue asked, concern etched on her face. “It was difficult searching through everyday,” she confessed and I nodded, letting her know that I understood how difficult it could be.Sammie smiled and squeezed my hands.“You will make a good queen,” she blurted and I flushed, embarrassed at what she was insinuat

I still couldn't believe that he was alive.I stared deep into his eyes and felt tears almost building up in mine.He ran his hands lovingly through my locks and kissed my forehead softly.“I missed you so much, Silvan. I was so worried. I thought that I would never…”" Shhhh,” he said hushing me gently. "I am here now. I'm just glad that you are safe. I was just as worried as you and I feared that you would never wake up again.”He kissed me tentatively on the lips and I groaned softly as his soft tongue wrapped around mine. Being asleep for almost three weeks was more than enough time to make me crave his touch hungrily. I missed him, and now that I had him, I wanted him deep inside me.He pulled away and stroked my locks.“You should get some rest. Your bruises still need to heal and I'll ask the maids to get you so

    Chapter 135Esme's POV I felt very hungry in my sleep and had to force my eyes open. Not expecting to be met with so much brightness, I squinted my eyes to slowly adjust to the light in the room. I stared out the window, different thoughts running through my mind. I recognize the room as the one I shared with Silvan back at the empire."Silvan!" I suddenly called and sprung out of the bed. My thoughts were correct, I was back home at the palace, but how?Images of how I had witnessed everyone die flashed in my head and I quickly hurried out of the room."Silvan!" I called again but got no response."Rue!""Paul!""Amy!" There was nobody in sight even as I called Their names, I began to wonder if I was in a dream."My Lady" someone called from behind and I turned to see Odelia, the young maid whom Silvan had once made to attend to each of my needs.Instinctively, I pulled her in a hug, my heart palpitating in trepidation.

    Chapter 134Esme's POVMy heart wrenched in pain as I screamed out my lungs. Silvan lay on the floor, blood oozing from his lips and the cuts on his face.Tears poured out of my eyes as I stared at Silvan's limp body on the cold floor. The exchange of gunshots had seized as everyone stared at Silvan's body as if in a trance. Mustering the last energy I had left in me, I pulled on the chains on my hands with all my strength. Seeing Silvan's state seemed to fuel my energy as I felt myself break out of the chains that were used to hold me down.Pushing Lois's already cold body away, I quickly rushed to Silvan's side, not minding the fact that my chest was not properly covered.I scooped him in my arms, his blood soiling my clothes entirely. "Someone call the ambulance!" I yelled desperately, rubbing my hands on his."My King" I called tearfully, my voice croaky and filled with pain.He smiled sadly, "I'm sorry I broke my promise" he whispered, his eyes peering into mine."Who cares abo

    Chapter 133Esme's POV With every passing second, I felt weaker and weaker. My heart was palpitating with fear and my body longed to be released from the binds that held me down.I could hear Kane laughing hysterically and closed my eyes in pain. A drop of tear slipped out of my eye as I clenched my jaws to keep the pain in.As if on cue, the door burst open and a fiery-looking Silvan barged in alongside Doran and Paul. There were a whole lot of guards that came in with him too and they were fully armed.I wasn't expecting it but just as they entered, Kane's men took their stance as well. The two groups pointed guns at each other, staring at themselves eyeball to eyeball.I heard Kane hiss from his seat beside my bed, "What a party pooper. I wasn't expecting you until I drained her empty" he complained with an eye roll.Silvan eyes instantly widened as they fell on me, "What are you doing to her?" He demanded and started rushing towards Kane who quickly began to yank the wires out of

So what's next?"Sophie was led inside the room, she curtsied politely, "Greetings Alpha, you sent for me"I made to grab her hands but stopped midway and glared dangerously at her."What do you know about Kane of Hammock Corporation?""Mr. Kane?""Is there any other Kane you have been intimate with?" I slammed impatiently.Her face turned red with embarrassment at my outburst, I instantly realized my fault and cleared my throat noisily, "Come with me," I said simply, moving out of the room. She followed without complaint at once."Now, do you remember the Kane I am talking

Though the room was dimly lit, I could hear the beeping of a machine beside me."You are awake finally"I could recognize his annoying voice from miles away, I turned my head towards Kane's direction. Amidst the injury he had sustained from me, he had an excited look on his face"Where am I?" I demanded coldly."Heaven" he replied with an evil cackle.I gave him a proper stare to see that he has some wires attached to his body and then it hit me, I was still in that damned room and on the bed he had flung me on.But I thought he shot me, how come I am still living?"It wasn't a real bullet" he answered as if reading my thoughts, "it's a sedative dart"I winced as I felt something leave my body, Kane smiled broadly, "I have been waiting for you to wake up since.

As for your phone, the tracker was deactivated so it is not possible to trace where it might be"I banged the table beside me in rage, "did the traitor disappear with the air? Why is no one finding something that might lead us to him?""We proceeded to ask around the palace for whoever might have seen him leaving but no one seemed to have noticed. Also, he did not take any of the palace cars, else it would have been easy to track the automobile down.""How about the CCTV footage of the palace gates?

He returned with a wicked glint in his eyes.I gave him a confused stare and turned to Daniel who was still whimpering in pain, they are working together?"What are you doing here? I thought you were still at the resort even after I left" Kane shrugged, his gun still pointing at me and his eyes sharp in case I make any funny movement, "What can I say? I know my way around. Besides, I have lived here longer than you nasty creatures" he replied and started walking towards me."Nasty? Who the heck is this filthy human?"

I called out in panic and heard no response, the space was eerily quiet and I stopped in my tracks, taking my time to slowly observe my environment.There was no one in sight, the only item in the room was a single bed and stool beside the bed. It looked like a sick bed but there was nobody on it.Ira was on full alert, she began to trace Silvan's scent around the dimly lit room but he was nowhere in sight. The closing of the door made me spin around to see Daniel holding a bat and staring at me ferociously. I looked into his eyes and gasped at how emotionless it looked.He slowly locked the door while keeping his eyes pinned on me,"Silvan isn't here, is he?" I asked in a calm tune, my eyes watching his grip on the bat and the cold look on his face, he shrugged and moved the ba
