Esme's POVConvinced that there was nothing left on my schedule for the day, I urged Amy to follow me back to the hotel.She readily agreed given that we've missed each other and there was still a lot of catching on to do.I made sure she took off that ugly Janitor's uniform and changed into the outfit she wore to work, a simple plaid skirt and a tank top.She had revealed to me that she did not have a room or house of her own and had been squatting with a kind human she met on her first day here in her small house.Looking at Amy's condition, I couldn't help but blame myself over and over for not making arrangements to see to her comfort as soon as I left the pack.Amy is the only family I have left and it is my responsibility to ensure her safety and well-being.We may have not grown up with a mother figure given that we never knew her identityBut growing up, I've always felt this motherly instinct towards Amy, and as I realised that she had been suffering all these while since I l

Silvan's POV"Invite four different truth finders from all over the Lycian empire. This matter can only be judged in their presence and based on their observation after hearing both sides of the story. This exercise will take place in the courtroom where the other members of the pack's council will be present to offer their own views" I announced and walked out of the room.I know very well that Esme has nothing to do with this attack but with Sophie's contradictory comments, I am left with no choice but to go to every length to see that the matter is looked into again.Sophie was led to the courtroom by Kathie and another servant who supported her on both sides. Though I felt her actions were pretentious, I didn't want to be quick to judge. Moreover, she might actually be in serious pain.Lois and Draco came running a few minutes later, their brows raised in confusion and curiosity as well."There are rumours that Sophie brought up the topic of the attack again after she woke up. W

Silvan's POV"Tie a blindfold around his eyes and lead him inside the courtroom at once,” I ordered, and Madam Helen left to carry out my instructions.Mother stared at me fondly, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips."Very nice Silvan, that way, the truth finder will not be able to tell the identity of who is speaking to him. Smart choice indeed" Draco said through our mind link.Lois also nodded in support as we awaited the truth finder.The crowd began to talk amongst themselves, everyone anticipating how this case would finally be settled.Madam Helen returned with the truth finder, and as expected, he had a tight blindfold around his eyes.He was led to the centre of the room and was allowed to stand alone.The truth finder bowed in respect for the important entities present in the room with him."Greetings Your Highness, I am Fredrick from the eastern part of the empire. My lycan ability is lie detection, and with all due respect, I am at your service""Great. The lady who

Esme's POVAmy still had a confused expression from the moment we left the mall until we got to the hotel. We jointly carried the shopping bags inside and started bringing out the items we purchased."Why did you suddenly ask that we go after your conversation with the strange man?" She finally voiced out her thoughts."I knew you would ask. Well, I don't feel very comfortable around the human, and I don't know why.”"But humans are nice, he's probably trying to get to know you better.”"That is more of the reason why I should avoid him at all costs""Avoid him? Why?""Because he is human Amy and do you know why humans are still relating freely with us? They think we are one of them when we aren't. What if he discovers I am not human by being too close to me?""That could be bad.”“Yes, Amy, besides, he is vying for the database project as well,” I finished with a shrug.My phone pinged with a notification, and when I opened it, an excited scream left my lips.I pulled Amy in a big

Esme’s POVSilvan’s gaze flickered and he glanced away, not willing to meet my eyes. However, that only made me more curious.Was this something that had happened before?“Gather the other team members, we would meet in the cafeteria,” I instructed and then shut the door as soon as the both of them left.I strained my ears, confirming that the both of them had gone before I turned to face Silvan, “What’s going?” “And, don’t even think about lying to me,” I threatened and Silvan’s face spread into a sly grin.He laced his fingers with mine and led me back into the room.“About three years ago, there was some influx of attacks like this in this city. The government kept eyes on the woods and started trying to track everyone more carefully since they couldn’t explain the attack.” My brows tightened at his revelation, “same as this kind of attack?” Silvan nodded with a grimace. “Exactly like this, indoors and in places where wolves shouldn’t be found at all,” More than Silvan, I kne
