LOGINEsmeralda's POV It was time for the coronation ceremony and the pack elders had prepared Thorne as the King. Killian who was supposed to be the king was denied his right to the fact that he has been a rogue for many years. The pack has been decorated, dancers spread across the stage, showcasing every dance step. Oliver stayed by my side and Rose was beside me, Killian sat near the elders, a white robe hanging across his neck. The party has started and pack members have gathered, the elders from my father's pack also arrived. The crowd were screaming “Thorne our king “ we voted for you Thorne, go Thorne”Thorne has been a cruel man, he murdered my father, how can the moon goddess choose him as the king and heir?. I muttered to myself that no one could hear.“The moon goddess must be very cruel” a tear rolled down my face, I quickly wiped it away. I will not let them see me break.Lily walked to my side, a wicked grin on her lips. I think Thorne is the rightful heir, Gina will be anno
Esmeralda's POV THE NEXT MORNING I groaned heavily, rolling tiredly all over the bed and clutching the bedsheet for anything that would decrease the sourness in my body. A flash of what happened last night right here in the room made me jolted awake, my eyes wide open. "What?!" I shouted, covering my mouth with my right hand. Slowly, I dropped my hand on my lap, feeling cool as I chuckled shyly when I remembered how intense the moment was. I looked at the door that Killian had passed through last night and smiled a bit sadly. "Why did he go so soon?" I pouted, dragging myself out of the bed. "Your touch ignites a burning fire,Melting my heart, my soul's desire.In your eyes, my love, I see,A forever with you, wild and free." I sang happily as I moved towards the bathroom, but it didn't take long for me to spot a note on the dressing table. I quickened my step towards there and picked it up to read. "Oh my guiding light, you might be disappointed for not seeing me beside you w
Esmeralda's POV"Maybe very soon, I will be able to understand what is funny about what I said," I grumbled, shifting back on the bed. Killian quickly pulled my leg to stop me from moving back, and then climbed the bed with his body looming over me. "How did you get the powder? That has been on my mind ever since I was out for the fake welcome party."I didn't want to tell him directly that someone had entered his chamber just like that paper so I lied, hoping it wouldn't cause a bigger problem later. "Well..." I scratched my neck. "I think Gina doesn't want me to be with your father too after she got a reality check that my position will be more than hers. So...while searching for the best room for me to stay, I entered her room and saw it where she recklessly kept it""Hmmm...that seems easier than anyone could have thought," He said, unsure if my claim was possible. "Like I said before, I think it's because she was unsure if she should use it. She knows that I had stolen it, bu
Esmeralda's POV I walked away without even looking back even though Gina kept making some noisy groans. She was still not happy that I had gotten the chamber that is the most beautiful among all and to make it more uneasy for her, it belongs to her obsession's ex-mate. As I reached the entrance of the room, I bowed my head in humble thanks for such a blessed day. Stepping inside, my body blooms with joy at the outstanding beauty before me. Everywhere was sparkling clean, a very nice job done by the maids. I let out a joyful shriek and bounced on the massive bed. I was still rolling over the bed when a gentle knock interrupted my happy squeal. "Who is there?" I paused, raising my voice enough. "We are here to arrange the items that you bought," Someone whom I assumed as a maid answered. "Come in," I groaned, sitting up properly on the bed. The door fling open and as expected, the maids walk in a perfect straight line before spreading everywhere to begin what they are here for.
Esmeralda's POV Among the five that rushed over, only one of the maids who was actually the one assigned to me came very close to me to check on me.She apologized for daring to touch me, but I wink at her to not bother.After a while of hand roaming, she turned to Thorne and bowed her head in regard. "There is no strange smell from her. It was the same soap that I had prepared in Madam Esmeralda bathtub that is scenting, my Alpha.""Then what could have happened that made me feel so dizzy in her chamber to the extent that I fell unconscious for an hour? What excuse would I have given for keeping my officials waiting at the so-called urgent meeting if it wasn't for my brother’s sudden arrival from his journey?" He growled, hitting his palm on the couch's arm rest in frustration.Surely, Thorne would be angry for not being able to know whatever was the reason why he is feeling uncomfortable and irritated, but he was the one who had released Killian and prepared for a hurrying welcome
Esmeralda's POV I raised my chin as a defeatless confidence washed through my soul. Walking in the midst of the dancers, straight into the grand living room.I wasn't expecting to see the so-called high-ranking officials whom I recognized by their robes. Seeing them literally made me curl with worry, what could have brought them here?I realized that they were already on their way back when they all bowed and gave a chilling hail to the Thorne before standing up to take their leave.They were done with whatever they came here to do, and that made me blow out air from my mouth in relief.I squeezed myself beside the giant pillar that is right after the living room's door, with my head bowed so that they wouldn't recognize me and all go on their way.Different thoughts swirl through my mind, but I kept calm until they moved down the wide veranda to their various cars."This might sound rude, my Alpha but I have to say what is on my mind since I am now upgraded to your daughter-in-law a
Esmeralda POVThe man with scars. It was a nasty sound. It echoed through the burned village. He did not look like a man who was scared of a Queen. He looked like a man who was waiting for a reason to kill someone."A debt?" he said, making fun of me. "The only debt in this land is the one you owe
Esmeralda's POV The shadow creature hit me like a wall of ice. I was thrown backward. My head cracked against the stone floor. Stars danced in my vision and the light inside me flickered for a second. The coldness of the womans aura was overwhelming."Esme!" Killians voice was loud.I saw him shi
Esmeralda's POV The Royal City was already so different when I returned from the northern parks. It wasn’t even longer felt like a thick, suffocating shroud of ancient secrets. Instead of that it felt thin, expectant, like a held breath. I rode through the gates with Lily and one of the small gua
Esmeralda POVI looked down at the baby. I felt really scared. For a short time the baby did not look like my son to me. I did not see my sons eyes. Instead I saw those violet flashes again. The baby was not looking at me the way babies usually look at their mothers. The baby was looking at me like
