Esme's POVI was met with Lois's worried eyes the moment my tired orbs flickered open. Relief instantly crossed her deep brown orbs as she quickly turned to Silvan, whom I didn't notice at first.“Esme," his voice was tender and soothing, "Do you feel any pain?" He asked calmly while wrapping his huge hands around my tiny ones in assurance.I inhaled deeply, memories of all that occurred the day before rushed into my mind as I made to spring out of bed.Silvan seemed to calculate my movement accurately because he was soon holding me down, worry lines etched on his forehead."Take it easy, your Lycan needs to relax to recuperate faster" he uttered, slowly laying me back to the bed."What happened? How is Sophie?" I managed to ask quietly, allowing Silvan to cover me properly.Lois exchanged glances with Silvan, and I felt my hair rise in curiosity."The queen swung into action the moment you slumped while reporting the attack. Some guards were sent to fetch Sophie and the driver.”Lo

Silvan's POVI watched Mother leave the hall after her pronouncement. She didn't mean what she said, right?Without wasting any more time, I mind-linked Draco and Paul, who noticed the change in my demeanour after that announcement."Come keep Esme company; I need to sort things out with Mother real quick,” I said and hurried away after giving Esme a small peck on her cheek.I hurried after Queen Diane, and the moment she noticed me, she increased her pace, rushing towards her quarters as if trying to escape me.I chased her, determined to speak to her before she disappeared into her chambers."Mother, you should rephrase your pronouncement because I will not abide by it,” I called after her, and she finally stopped, buying me enough time to approach her."Did you forget what happened to Esme and Sophie on their way to the human world the day before? I can't risk letting Esme leave this place again, unguarded.”"And who said anything about no protection? Of course, Esme shall be given

Esme's POVThe first light of the morning sun the next day painted the sky with soft hues of pink and orange. I and Silvan walked out of the room at the same time, bags packed and anticipation shimmering in my eyes.We made our way to the Lycian garage, where several sleek cars were parked.A gasp escaped my lips at the number of cars parked professionally in the garage, I wondered how many Silvan owned to himself.Silvan pointed to one of the cars, a black Lamborghini and one of the guards made to open it. He raised his hands in the air, stilling the guard's movement."I will drive, bring two extra cars with you,” he said curtly, and the guard bowed in acceptance.Silvan took the car keys and led me to it. He opened the door of the posh Lamborghini, its interior filled with soft, luxurious wolf fur and equipped with advanced navigation charms. With a sense of anticipation, I settled into the plush leather seat, my fingers brushing against the smooth surface.Silvan took the driver

Esme's POVSilvan left the next morning with promises to return as soon as the function was over.The previous night had been a memorable one for me.As I stood in front of the mirror studying my reflection, I couldn't help but notice the vivid hickeys Silvan had left on my skin.A warm blush spread across my cheeks as I caressed the diamond necklace he had gifted me last night fondly, it was a reminder of the passionate night we had shared.I left the bathroom to prepare for work when I received a notification on my phone and so proceeded to access it.It's been a smooth process working with the team on the unifying project to provide the human government with a database. The team was composed of both Lycans and humans while my own team for the first project had werewolves in higher numbers than humans.
