View MoreEsme's POVI woke up before dawn, though I hadn’t really slept much at all. Sleep had come in fragments, maybe an hour at most before slipping away from me again. For a few fleeting seconds, I almost forgot everything, almost felt at peace, but then the familiar ache returned, settling deep in my chest like it always did.Today, Kieran was leaving. I thought I had known pain before, Ryan rejecting me had cut deep but this, this was different. The hurt I felt now was sharp, overwhelming, and impossible to put into words. With Ryan, I held on to a glimmer of hope that once he had chosen me as a mate once, my suffering would end.Now I have that comfort, I have what I always wanted, yet my second chance mate wouldn’t choose me, maybe I am ther problem.I lay there, staring at the ceiling, my heart thudding slowly, painfully, each beat echoing in the quiet room. Part of me wanted to get up, to pull on clothes, go downstairs, and act as if none of this hurt at all. Another part of me wante
Esme's PovXavier did not say a single word on the way back to the pack house. I walked a step behind him, my head lowered, my thoughts racing as I tried to guess what he was thinking.When we reached the pack house, he led me straight to his office. I followed quietly, the moment we stepped inside, he shut the door behind us.Xavier did not sit down. Instead, he walked to his desk and stopped there, turning his back to me. He placed his hands firmly on the edge of the desk, his shoulders stiff and tense, as though he was holding himself together by force alone.I stood behind him, unsure of what to say or where to look. Even without seeing his face, I could feel everything he was feeling. His anger, his confusion, and something deeper rolled off him.Finally, he turned to face me. “Is Kieran your mate?” he asked.My heart skipped violently in my chest. Anyone who had seen the way Kieran fought for me would already suspect the truth, there was no hiding it anymore.“Yes,” I whispered.
Esme's POVThe pack gathering was supposed to be simple. A celebration for the younger wolves who'd passed their first shift. I stood near the food tables helping Maya arrange plates when I felt it. The ghost of a bond that shouldn't exist anymore.I turned around and my heart stopped.Rylan stood at the edge of the clearing. He looked different. Thinner. His steel-gray eyes had lost their usual confidence. The proud Alpha who rejected me now looked broken. His dark brown hair was unkempt and when he looked at me from across the crowd, something in his eyes made my stomach twist. Desperation. Raw, ugly and impossible to miss.He started walking toward me."No," I whispered. Maya followed my gaze and her hand found my arm."Isn't that Rylan?" she asked, her voice sharp with recognition. "What is he doing here?”"Yes." I straightened my outfit and lifted my chin. "And he has no business being here."Rylan stopped three feet away. Close enough that I could see the dark circles under his
Esme's POVMaya's door was already open when I arrived. She took one look at my face and pulled me inside."What happened?" she asked, guiding me to sit on her bed.I couldn't hold it back anymore. The words tumbled out. "Kieran is my second-chance mate."Maya's eyes widened. "What? Are you sure?""I've known for weeks. Since the day he arrived." I wrapped my arms around myself. "The bond snapped into place the moment I saw him. But he... he doesn't want it. He's still grieving his first mate. Sarah.""Have you told him?""He knows about the bond. He feels it too. But he's fighting it. Fighting me." My voice cracked. "And now he's planning to leave Nightfall Pack."Maya sat beside me. Silent for a moment. Then she stood and walked to her bookshelf. Pulled down a thick volume about wolf bonds."I've been doing research," she said quietly. "After our last conversation about Rylan, I wanted to understand more about mate bonds and what happens when they're rejected or denied."She flipped
