Esme’s POV“That one seems to have eyes that keeps roaming around, people like them usually know a lot,” I joked while nudging my head at a particular guard that kept checking out a lot of guests. “I could swear that he looks like the stealing type,” Rue chipped in and I burst out laughing. 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
Esme.After insisting that they couldn’t leave us alone, Olivia and Sammie tagged along as I gave the driver the coordinates to the nearest Cosabella store. I had seen one of their adverts while trying to bypass some firewall yesterday and since Rue wanted to shop, I could kill two birds with one stone by ordering lingerie. “You don’t have to come in,” I told Sammie and Olivia while glancing around to be sure that everything was fine. Olivia frowned slightly and then after glancing around discreetly, she nodded. “Sammie would follow you, I’ll stay back here.”Unlike Olivia, Sammie’s face still had some warmth and she could blend in with us so I yielded.“That’s fine.” The Cosabella’s store was beautiful and Rue’s eyes lit up with excitement. “This is so chic!” She exclaimed running in and stopping in front of the first aisle.Her eyes took in everything hungrily while I allowed myself to also look around. On seeing the section that I wanted, my lips curled up.“Look around and bu
Silvan.I placed a light kiss on Esme’s forehead after making sure that she didn’t stir from me putting a pillow in her arms.As much as I wanted to spend all night in her arms, I had a lot of work to do. At first, I had thought that I’d be able to work all night to reduce the workload.However, walking into the room and seeing Esme in my shirt had changed all of that. Esme was not one to take the initiative. In fact, I had been the one to take the first move anytime, and even the world falling could not have allowed me to ignore her. My phone’s screen lit up with a notification and I swiped the room card, stepping out so I could work without waking Esme up. “He’s awake.” Two words but I knew who he was talking about. After leaving the hospital, I had assigned one shadow guard to watch the director and I was starting to get worried since he has been asleep since we left.His condition was getting better since he had external help from our healers, but I needed his testimony one mo
Change faces?” Was that a thing among werewolves now? I rubbed my temples again, the headache climbing from all the roadblocks we were getting from the investigation. With the director awake, we needed things to hurry.“Yes, during the last month, we had increased applications but there were two brothers that we found odd. They said they just wanted accommodation in our town but they also had a strange smell.” “I turned them down, however, they went to the next pack with a different appearance. Fortunately, we had a meeting and we noticed the trend by the time it got to the third pack.” “What’s important is, these two had really different appearances every time they went to a pack,” I don’t ask how because I made sure every pack had surveillance.Since humans were starting to explore the woods, it only made sense that they didn’t look underdeveloped.Thankfully, all the lands there were owned by the packs and we didn’t have to worry about new ownership.“You guys didn’t report it,”
Silvan. The director took some breaths and I waited, hoping that he would say something before I asked. And, I was right. “I felt this way two days before I was attacked.” This was it. I took a deep breath, controlling my breath so that my voice wouldn’t sound too excited. “You being watched?” “Well, every now and then, when I turned, it always felt like there was someone around…” “Even in my room,” he added, his voice shaking. I nodded, letting him know that I was listening. “I moved up the date because I wanted to be around for my wife’s birthday, but by two days to the first bidding, I was already regretting that decision.” He was on to something. I could feel it in my gut. “You feel that this might have been an attack from one of the companies after the project?” I asked and his eyes shifted to the side—towards the door.“I know it is related.” I shouldn’t take his words so seriously, but there’s something about the firmness in his eyes that makes me know that this is t
Silvan. Esme is not inside when I get back. Knowing that she would probably be with Rue and Amy, I decided to let them have some time off while I join the team that was in the opposite room. “Alpha,” all of them echoed as I entered with their heads bowed in front of the computer. “How is it going?” I asked as I settled in my chair. “We have sent the files on the four men to you. Like you guessed, the four of them are indeed related as they moved to this city four years ago.” I looked through the documents that he placed on the table. Confirming that things were indeed very complex.“I think that right now, all of them are being careful, we have been tracking the phones of the first two since yesterday and they have yet to leave their houses. As for this new two that you asked us to check, they have been doing the same,” the team leader reported and I nodded.By the time I was done with the report, I saw that while they had hacked into the surveillance cameras of the new men we ju
For one, I’m glad that it’s just Sophie. And that there’s nothing wrong with the kingdom. But once I process it again, I realise that I’m even more confused. How could she have lost her powers? Power were inherent. We were born with it and had it our entire lives. Up until my father’s last breath, he still had his powers with him.I pressed a key on the computer and watched the screen become blank before I stood up.This was not a conversation that I could have with a lot of ears around. I swiped the card and entered Esme’s room. Her scent still lingered heavily in the air, allowing me to know that she had left not too long.Somehow, being around her scent made me feel a lot better and my tone was a little softer as I resumed the conversation.“Explain what you mean, Paul.”“She hasn’t made any progress with recovering since you left. So your mother had more healers to come to the palace and help her get better,” Paul started.That was normal. I knew my mom wouldn’t want Sophie to l
