Esmeralda POV It had been two days since I had that dream, and it has been very hard since that day. It was a vision that I hadn’t been able to decode at all. I’ve had a very hard time thinking about what that dream meant.I knew it had to do with my child and Killian, but it seemed Aurora was more powerful that I thought she was. Another thing I depicted was that Killian was going to either lose his life or be in trouble over this.“You’re zoning out again.” His voice dragged me back to reality. Killian sat before me, his brows creased as a frown settled on his face. I was in his office, having arrived here minutes ago.“Uh, sorry. I didn’t realize.” I mumbled, adjusting my butt on the chair.“What’s the issue? You wanted to see me. Are you finally ready to talk to me?” He asked me.Since I had that vision two days ago, I’ve pretty much avoided talking to him or even being around him at all. It wasn’t even like he offended me or anything, but I felt like my presence in his life was
Esmeralda POVI drifted off to sleep right in his arms, I didn’t even know when sleep took over me. I was so exhausted that I passed out and let sleep take over completely.Even while asleep, the only part of me that seemed to be at rest was my physical body. My entire form felt so strange, I felt my whole body humming, it felt like my blood was boiling. Then my skin tingled.*I felt my body being transported to a place that was almost completely dark. It was a shadowed battlefield. Soft breeze touched my skin, I closed my eyes in bliss.Everything felt so perfect at the moment. The peace was snatched away almost immediately it came when I heard my name being called. It was almost like a whisper but I heard it very clearly.“Esmeralda.” The voice said. A frown settled on my face as I heard it. My body felt so light, it was almost like I wasn’t the one in my own body.I looked around me wearily, wrapping my arms around ny body as the calm breeze from earlier turned into a very harsh on
Killian POV Pulling away from her was the hardest thing for me to do. I badly wanted to get even more closer to her, hold her closer to me, sink my fangs into her neck then make the sweetest love ever to her.But I couldn’t, I just couldn’t bring myself to do anything to her. Being in her presence alone was really overwhelming, kissing her or even doing anything intimate with her was more intense.I was going crazy, my head felt like a very distorted place, I just wanted to hold her to myself and never let go again. She had taken over my head and every other part of my body completely. And the worst part? She didn’t even have to do anything. She snuck into my life and became the main character in it. Her scent alone made me feel like going Gaga or something. I badly want to mark her, make her scent get mixed with mine and just seal it together forever.But no, I just had to exercise patience and work on my self control. I knew that I couldn’t just rush to do anything at the moment,
Esmeralda POV Killain lifted me up and carried me out of the confrontation site, his eyes and entire body on full alert. The place was still filled with remnant of smoke from Aurora’s powers.The dark magic still tainted the air, reeling deeply of smoke. I didn’t say anything as Killian carried me out of the place. His strong hold on me made me know how antsy he was.His wolf was on edge and it was obvious. I had my head pressed against his chest and I felt the constant beating of his chest. I felt his gaze on me often too, but he moved really stealthily, almost like he didn’t want me to jostle at all.“Are you good?” He asked me, making me open my eyes and look into his own dark ones. “Yes.” I mumbled softly, my voice almost inaudible.I felt really drained but I wasn’t that weak. It was a very weird feeling, way too foreign and strange. I felt a new power simmering inside of me, it was simmering up and boiling.“We’ll soon get to the house, just hold on.” He said, increasing his p
Esmeralda POV “I’d rather die than to see him save you one last time.” Aurora growled angrily, coming straight at me when she saw that my attention was divided and I had all my gaze on Killian.With every energy in her, she stretched out her hand and directed the remaining venom in her to me, aiming to really kill me. I found myself envisioning a protective shield and blocking the venom from getting to me.No matter how hard she tried, it didn’t get to me at all. Her eyes burned with so much hatred that could burn down an entire building. The black smoke thickened, swirling around me like a giant house. But even with how much the pressure was, the shield protecting me was way higher than that. The smoke slammed into me, but instead of consuming me, it coiled.“Enough!” She said, sending a shockwave through my body. But instead of it affecting me, it bounced back to her and she staggered backwards.Shock and disbelief filled her face, her eyes dimming with anger.“You shouldn’t even
Thorne POV I watched as my warriors fought one another, each of them fighting with so much fervor and strength. They all knew I was watching them and what that meant. If I noticed anyone slacking, they might be demoted.But what they didn’t know was that I wasn’t really watching them. My eyes were on them, but my mind wasn’t. I had zoned out the moment I got here. A lot of things just made me feel like crashing out so badly. I had underrated the ‘King’ position so much that everything I was facing came as a shock.My father had held back from telling and showing me a lot of things while he was training me because he thought he’d still be in power in the background while I was known as the king to everyone.I just didn’t know why he handed over when he knew he wouldn’t let go of power yet.I was dragged out of thoughts when I saw one of my pack members walk over to me. She looked around, almost as if she was trying to avoid someone, or hide from them.“Good morning, your majesty.” Sh
