Esme's Pov

I couldn’t sleep, every time I closed my eyes, I saw my mother's face in the locket, and that cold whisper in the hallway, I felt the weight of secrets pressing down on my chest until I couldn't breathe.

A soft knock made me jump. "Come in," I called, trying to sound normal even though my voice came out thin and scared.

The door opened, and a young woman stepped inside. She had kind eyes and wore a simple gray dress with a white apron. She smiled at me, the first genuine smile I had seen since arriving at Nightfall.

"Good morning, Miss Esme," she said quietly. "I'm Clara and I’ve been asked to help you get ready for the pack meeting."

I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. My throat felt tight, like someone had wrapped their hands around it.

Clara moved to the wardrobe and pulled out a dress I hadn't noticed before. It was deep blue, the color of the sky just after sunset, with long sleeves and a high collar, simple but beautiful. Nothing like the rags I had worn at Shado

  • The Omega’s True Legacy   Chapter 43

    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

    Esme's POVThe compound erupted the moment we arrived. Word had spread fast. Warriors lined the driveway. Their faces were tight with worry and anger. Xavier's SUV hadn't even stopped completely before Soren yanked my door open."Are you insane?" His voice cracked. Not loud but worse. "Do you have any idea what could have happened?"I climbed out. My legs felt shaky. "We got the evidence.""I don't care about the evidence!" Soren grabbed my shoulders and looked me over like checking for broken pieces. "You could have died, Esme. Mercenaries with guns. Marcus could have been there. You could have..."His voice broke completely. "I'm okay," I whispered. "I promise. I'm okay."Dorian appeared and pulled me into a hug so tight I couldn't breathe. "Don't ever do that again. Don't ever put yourself in danger like that. I can't... we can't lose you too."Lucian stood back. His jaw was clenched. "Where's Kieran?"I turned. Kieran was climbing out of the driver's side. His bandaged shoulder w

    Esme's POVThe warehouse looked dead. Empty windows stared back at us like hollow eyes. Rusted metal walls covered in vines. No cars, No lights and no movement."Stay close," Kieran whispered.We crouched behind broken crates fifty yards away. The camera felt heavy in my hands. My heart hammered so loud I thought Marcus would hear it from inside.Kieran scanned the building through binoculars. His jaw was tight. "There's a side entrance. Looks forced open recently. Someone's been here.""Is it Marcus?" I whispered."Can't tell from here." He lowered the binoculars and looked at me. "I go first. You follow exactly in my footsteps and don’t make a sound. If I raise my fist, you freeze. Understood?"I nodded.We moved like shadows across dead grass. Every step felt too loud. The warehouse loomed bigger as we got closer. My wolf stirred inside me, nervous and alert.Kieran reached the side entrance. The metal door hung crooked on broken hinges. He peered inside, then motioned me forward.

    Esme's POVXavier spread a map across his desk. "Our informant confirmed movement at this abandoned warehouse. Two hours north. Someone's been hiding there for the past three days."I leaned forward, studying the location. My brothers stood around the desk."Could it be Marcus?" Soren asked."High probability," Xavier said. "The timing fits. After we started investigating the council elders, Marcus disappeared. This warehouse is remote enough to hide, close enough to still have eyes on Nightfall territory."My heart pounded. Marcus. One of the elders who killed my mother. "We need to move carefully," Xavier continued. "If we send a full team and it's not him, we waste resources. If it is him and he senses us coming, he runs. We lose our chance.""So what's the plan?" Dorian asked."Reconnaissance first," Xavier said. "Get eyes on the warehouse. Confirm it's Marcus. Then we plan the capture.""I'll take a team," Lucian said immediately. "We can scout it tonight."Xavier shook his head

    Esme's POVI couldn't sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Kieran's face and heard his words. "I'd rather live without you than watch you die." The words kept playing in my head like a sad song I couldn't stop hearing. My wolf was crying inside me. She wanted our mate. But he didn't want us. He was too scared.Morning came. Everything hurt. I put on a simple green dress and brushed my hair. But when I looked in the mirror, I looked like a ghost. Pale, sad and empty.I went downstairs for breakfast. The dining room was quiet. Soren and Kieran weren't there. Xavier sat reading papers. Lucian was there and Dorian watched me with sad eyes. Maya smiled, but it was a worried smile."Where's Soren?" I asked."Still in the laboratory," Xavier said. "He and Kieran worked all night. They're close to finding who helped Marcus make the poison."My heart jumped when Xavier said Kieran's name. Through the mate bond, I could feel him. He was tired but he was working hard and undernea
