# 99Silvan. “Do you know me?” I asked Esme hurriedly as I jumped into the tub, fully clothed. The tub was large enough and even with my additional weight, the water didn’t pour out.There’s no reply from her, instead, her eyes are glazed and unfocused.Oh no. The thought that what might have happened might have caused a memory lapse or broken Esme is more than I can bear and guilt wrenches into my heart as I look at her blank face.Every second that Esme takes in replying me feels like torture and when her face finally cracked into a smile, a kind of peace and relief floods my body.“I just wanted to pull your legs,” she drawled, her words still slightly slurred from all the things in her system. First, she had taken some really classic wine and then she had been drugged with the aphrodisiac.“Are you okay?” I asked, still a little worried. She nodded gently and not minding that I was still fully clothed, I pulled her in.“Fuck, you scared me, Esme.” She chuckled slightly, havi
# 100.Silvan’s POVA soft whimper fell from Esme’s lips as she turned around in the sheets. Unlike before, her skin had some color now and she looked a lot better than when I had brought her in. My phone dinged with another notification that was probably demanding urgent attention but in truth, nothing came before Esme. Not my empire and not anyone else. I ran some warm water in a small bowl and wiped Esme’s body clean before wrapping her in the duvet. Satisfied, I picked my phone and stepped out of the room. The four guards standing by the entrance all bowed immediately.“You are guarding the door with your life. If anything happens to the person inside the room, not one soul in your family will see the next day,” I warned and then stepped away.Even without being an empath, I could smell their fear as I walked down the hallway. It was not my usual style of work but with how things were going, I was far too worried to bother about how I got my point across to them.My phone rang
Silvan’s POV“Who sent you?” I demanded, sending another kick at the bastard. He rolled around, groaning as his back slammed against a pole.“Don’t kill him before he can confess,” Doran joked as he walked into the warehouse.“I have made all the men to stay at the entrances to the street, only two are guarding outside.” I nodded in satisfaction and turned my eyes to the other men that were shivering on the floor.“You have two choices, to save your life or to lose it.” One of them whimpered from fear and I cursed at his cowardice in my mind.“Do you have a video of what happened in the warehouse, I would like to know which one of them laid hands on my mate.” If there wws any one of them that harmed her, I had the plans of doing to him ten times what he had done to her. Doran had an apologetic look on his face. “It slipped my mind, I’ll ask the men to check things now and update me,” he said and then bowed slightly. Considering how everything had happened, the mistake he had made
Chapter 102Esme's POVMy eyes fluttered open and I winced slightly while holding my head as an ache hit me."Just what exactly happened?" My voice was gruff, sleep laced in my undertone.I made to walk out of bed when the door knob squeezed open and Silvan walked inside.My eyes lit up and as soon as his eyes met mine, he sauntered towards me, a grin playing on his lips."Hey.." I drawled, chuckling with mirth as he quickly stole a kiss from my lips."How are you feeling now?" He asked in concern, his fingers lingering as he caressed my face fondly."Much better" I returned with a smile but a scent wafted through my nostrils and I scrunched my nose at him, "You reek Silvan, where are you coming from?" Instead of replying, he began to undo his shirt, working on getting out of his outfit as soon as possible."Went to take care of something important" he returned curtly, my eyes narrowed down at him in suspicion."Is it about the director?" "Not exactly, just some group of dorks" He r
Chapter 103Kane's POV "Get out" I ordered in a cold voice, watching as the blonde I had just banged scurried out of bed and groped around for her clothes.Her eyes were puffed and red with so many tears rolling down her face but it only irritated me.She was crying all through as I pounded in and out of her, Such a weakling and cannot be compared with someone as strong as My enemy's sweetheart.Esme Howell,Ever since I discovered how dear she was to Silvan, the hunger to have her under my mercy so as to get to Silvan has never stopped burning inside me.A smarty pants and body as hot as hell, the ideal lady for me but Silvan has always been the stumbling block to anything I want to achieve. Not for long though, I will make sure to take back everything he has denied me, one after the other.I walked inside the bathroom after the wimp left for a quick shower, thoughts of stripping Esme and making her moan my name filling my head.She doesn't look as easy as Sophie but that does not m
Chapter 104Silvan's POV"Alpha" the tech team bowed in greetings as soon as I stepped foot inside the room.I gave a small nod, heading straight for the seat reserved for me, Doran bowed lowly, helping me settle comfortably."Hit me" I ordered curtly, pulling the report book in front of me closer."Your Highness, the suspects have been discovered and surrounded by our men. We are just waiting for your command to close up on them" one of them reported."Well that wouldn't be necessary, this is a case the government officials have set out to solve, we will not do more than we have already done as regards the suspects so that we won't implicate ourselves.Therefore, withdraw and send our reports on them to the police instead. The suspects are humans, aren't they?" "Yes Alpha""Perfect. We just need to create an avenue to make it appear like the suspects wore wolf masks and used hallucinogens to make the director believe that he was attacked by an actual animal That way, the government
Chapter 105Silvan's POVAs soon as I got out of my car, I made my way into the mansion, ignoring the greetings of the servants and others in the pack house. Paul stood at the base of the stairs, waiting to receive me since I told him that I was on my way back. The smile on his face faltered the moment he noticed my cold expression, he adjusted his tie nervously."Welcome Al.."I cut him off before he could finish."I want to meet with the members of the council now" I ordered curtly, walking past him and heading straight to my mother's chambers.Paul rushed after me, "Alpha, I know you want to go see the queen Dowager, but she's not in at the moment" I stopped in my tracks and turned to Paul with fiery eyes, "Where is she? She knew I was coming and made a run for it, right? She took her personal maid with her didn't she?" "You need to calm down Alpha Silvan..""Don't give me that trash about calming down, Paul, I'm fed up with her and her silly minions. She better remain in hidi
Chapter 106Silvan's POVI decided to visit Sophie before retiring to my quarters to rest for the day. The last I heard from her was the day I left the empire after the news of Esme's ambush. In a bid to help Sophie, I arranged for a new medical method to aid her recovery since the works of the physician were doing nothing to her.I needed to see how authentic the new method has proven itself to be, hence my visit to her.The nurse in charge of Sophie's case was about to leave the room when I entered, she did a low curtsy"Your Highness"I returned her greeting with a subtle nod, "How is she?" I asked referring to Sophie whom I could see from the transparent show glass."Lady Sophie is better now, thanks to the humans' method of treating their sick ones, she is recovering rapidly Alpha.Her skin colour has returned to its radiant shade and she is no longer pallid, her appetite has also increased greatly.With these developments, I'm certain she would be up and bubbly in a few days"
