Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 24
Esme's POVI walked back to my room, determined to expose Raiden and finally bring the truth to light.Upon opening the door, I see that Ethan has just finished getting dressed."Where were you?" He asked as I got into the room and closed the door behind me."I was gone for only a short time, did you miss me?" I questioned back."Should have known talking to you is no different than talking to a log." He mumbled."I was with Norn, she was just showing me around. Besides, you went to have a bath so I figured you needed privacy." I explained and he sat on the sofa."If you have anything to talk about, say it now, you only have one hour of my time." He said and I smiled, realizing that he intends to keep his promise.I moved to sit next to him on the couch but he moved away from me, creating a good amount of space between us."Not so close. You only need your lips to do the talking." He said and I rolled my eyes. Now would be the perfect time to get some information on the royal family,
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 25
Esme's POVThis is probably the first time I've been a guest in a party and though it's exciting, it's equally terrifying.With Norn's ceremony just two days away, the atmosphere is festive but this doesn't give me much time.Alpha Theon is hosting a small party in honor of mine and Ethan's presence. It seems to be a blessing in disguise as I can finally talk to Raiden without seeming suspicious.The party's in full swing, everyone's enjoying themselves and Ethan is thankfully distracted as Alpha Theon engages him in conversation.Now is the perfect time to strike.I look for Raiden in the crowd - Norn thankfully gave a description and it's not long before I lay eyes on him.He's standing at the end of the room and having a drink while he observes everyone. This action of his definitely seems suspicious to me but like Ethan had said, he doesn't look suspicious at all. He rather looks harmless and seems to be watching all the movement around him, as if looking out for any signs of trou
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 26
Esme's POVI didn't get the chance to talk to Norn yesterday because of the party so I woke up really early today so I'd be able to talk to her before she becomes engulfed in the ceremony preparations.I took a bath, dressed up and left the room. Ethan was already awake but didn't bother questioning me about why I was awake and getting ready so early. I'm grateful for that since I won't have to come up with a lie so early in the morning.The hallway was slightly dark as the sun was still absent from the sky.I got to Norn's room and knocked on her door. It took a good amount of effort before the door finally opened to reveal a sleep ridden and disheveled Norn in front of me.Her hair was a mess but I didn't have time to worry about that."Esme?" She questioned but I went in and closed the door behind me before grabbing her hand and taking her with me to her bed so we could both take a seat."What's the matter? Is something wrong?" She questioned, finally beginning to snap out of her d
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 27
Esme's POVAfter walking for some time, I finally arrived at the cottage and took a deep breath before opening the door, going into it.There is no one inside as expected. It seems my suspicions were correct.I sighed and took a seat on a chair placed in the center, a small smile forming at the edge of my lips."You can come out now, Norn." I called and waited patiently as the Princess took her sweet time to finally come out of her hiding place."I saw you sneaking out of the palace so I followed you. Is Derek….." She began explaining but I quickly cut her off."Just cut the act already, will you? You and I both know what's really going on. I just want to know why. What's your motive behind all of this?" I questioned with a crooked smile.Her face turned pale instantly but then switched to that of confusion."What are you talking about? Are you alright?" She questioned, her voice laced with concern but when she saw that I wasn't buying it, she finally put an end to her pretense, break
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 28
Esme's POVShe's right. I don't deserve Ethan, I've caused him nothing but trouble ever since I arrived.I wasn't there for him in his time of need, I can't imagine what he's been through or the demons he's still fighting and even if I can't do anything for him, I know one thing.And that's that I love him. I love him with my entire heart and I won't let someone like her take him away from me.I may not be worthy of Ethan but goddess Selene made him my mate for a reason so I won't let go of him no matter what. I'll make up for the times when he suffered alone by filling his life with happiness, I'll bring a smile back to his face."Do you really think that you're good for Ethan? You're clearly not. You're obsessed with Ethan and you know it, you don't love him.If you truly loved him, his happiness would make you happy. Love is all about sacrifice but you would never understand. You're spoiled and used to getting everything you want but I won't let you get your claws on my mate, I'll
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 29
Ethan's POV I couldn't tell why but my body rippled with anxiety. A pit was forming in my stomach and it was getting larger by the minute. I only get this feeling when something terribly wrong is about to happen and unfortunately, my instincts are never wrong. But what could be the problem? Tomorrow is Norn's mating ceremony and the preparations seem to be going extremely well. Nothing is out of the ordinary except Esme's behavior. Which I can't really account for because she's weird - in a cute way. She suddenly asked me about Norn and the next day, I saw her talking to Raiden. For some weird reason, I couldn't stand the sight of her getting so chummy with Raiden so I left and never got to know what they were talking about. It's not like I care anyway. I know that girl is up to something but I just can't figure out what it is. I really hope she doesn't do anything stupid. I haven't seen her in a while, I should go check up on her. I headed to our room and found it empty. She m
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 30
Esme's POVI was plunging downwards, surrounded by darkness. It felt like I was trapped in an abyss, sinking deeper and deeper without stopping. It felt peaceful and quiet but lonely at the same time. I really don't know how long I've been here but it's been serene.Looking to the top, it seems to be impossibly far away and completely out of my reach but the light it's emitting is completely different from the darkness that had swallowed me whole. It is……fascinating.But I know the clear difference. I have nothing to do with that part anymore. I'm in the jaws of death and there's so turning back, I'm just glad I got to see Ethan one last time.I close my eyes and release a breath, submitting myself to the will of the afterlife. I hope this is just a journey and I won't have to be lonely for the rest of eternity, I want to reunite with my parents. I miss them so much and I have a lot to tell them.I kept descending but I suddenly stopped as I felt a strange energy surround. What's goin
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 31
Esme's POV"You really have no idea what I've been through these past few days. I felt so guilty for not being able to protect you. I may seem impenetrable but I have feelings as well and I've suffered enough loss to make me numb but whenever you're in danger, I experience emotions that I can't control, fear, anxiety and confusion.You died back in the field, outside of the destroyed cottage and do you know what you said to me just before you died? You told me you loved me and it made me realize something, the reason why I can't stand seeing you in pain or even the thought of your death, and it's because I care about you deeply." He said and I held his hand, it felt so warm and comforting.I reached for his face and ran my fingers over the stubble on his cheeks, wanting nothing more than to kiss him.He touched my hand on his face, holding it in his."It took me almost dying twice for you to realize that." I blurted and he sighed exasperatedly."The point is, you might annoy me most o
