Esme’s POV“I will take it.” Studying had never been a problem, considering I had spent more than half of my life studying, from studying about werewolves to Lycans to human classes and business management.I was all used to it.Lady Sue went inside, and I was directed to sit at the reception.“Esme, Lady Sue said the questions would be ready in thirty minutes. I will come by before you are done. I need to attend to my students.” “It’s okay; I’m sure I’ll be fine here.” That was a lie. I wasn’t certain about anything with this receptionist and Lady Sue, who seemed to hate me. However, I didn’t want to hold her back, and I knew that if anything went wrong, I could send a message to Silvan.I leaned back on the seat and closed my eyes while emptying my thoughts out. After knowing that some people had Lycan powers to read my thoughts, I had been cautious about what I allowed to go through them in public.I would need to talk to Silvan about how close a person had to be to use their Ly

Esme’s POVThe shock on Amy’s face had to be the most hilarious thing I had seen in a while. She stared at me and then looked at Lois like she was been asked to eat some disgusting fly.“I can’t possibly…” she argued and then sent me another side glance.Unlike before, she had kept her glares aside and I couldn’t be any more relived.“I’m doing you a favor here, Amy.” “You had better take it if you still like your life,” Lois added and then grabbed my hand.We walked away, leaving Amy to herself and Lois started talking as soon as we were out of her hearing range. “I’m sorry that I came late, Esme.” I start to nod, wanting to tell her that it was okay but she placed her index fingers on my lips.“Don’t tell me it’s fine because I’m still going to write about two pages explaining to him why you had to encounter this when I was with you,” she said and her lips puckered as though the mere thought of Silvan was deeply terrifying.She led me away and grabbed the schedule they had given

Esme’s POVI sent another kick to his side and Charles groaned, the sound loud and ear piercing. I could sense that more than half of the class was looking at us.Or maybe all of them.But if there’s one thing I knew about making it a statement, it was that, to make a statement, you had to be early about it.If I let Charles go today, he would come back tomorrow ready to defend against me.So, I settle on him, my petite frame pressing his on his thigh while my hands are locked in his. Without wasting time, I deliver punch after punch at me and regardless of how he’s howling in pain, I don’t stop until the thirty minutes is up. “How dare you?” Charles growled as he stood up, lunging at me. I dodged to the side and then stretched a leg forward so that when he made his next move, he tripped and landed on the floor with a loud thud.The whole class became dead silent and I squirm, uncomfortable with all the gazes that were directed at me. “You are trained,” Joan said in a way that wasn

Silvan’s POVWhatever Esme was keeping from me couldn’t be good and I forced myself to focus on the ride back home. I had rushed down here from the council meeting because I wanted to take her out. If I wanted her to feel welcome here, I had to first make her love where she was. However, seeing her mood now, I could tell that something had happened back in the academy. And some trip around my empire was not going to make her feel better.“Do you like the school? If you don’t…” I didn’t mind training her by myself. Besides, when it came to fighting in our human form, only the trained men in the empire could come close to Esme. I had watched her fight more than once. Watched her take down her father after one year of training her. That was the first thing that had made me suspect them back then. Other than the pull, I had noticed how hard she trained. Like her life depended on it.Although she hid it quite well, her father had easily revealed everything as soon as I defeated him

Silvan’s POVMorning court had taken about three hours this morning, and now, another one? I was irritated, but I had been away for the most part for three years. If I wanted them to stop their long-winded talks in every meeting, I had to wait it out.Maybe give it a week or two. I tugged at my shirt, displeased with every step I took away from my mate. While I hadn’t imagined having every hour with her, I had expected more time with her. Especially now, she had looked so dispirited earlier. No different from when that bastard cheated on her. That was exactly why we had come here, so she could have a sense of belonging and be able to move on quite quickly.Why was it looking like I had totally ruined everything? “I don’t need an escort,” I barked at the guard who was two steps behind me. He stopped and then pressed forward barely a second later.“Is there someone else that you report to other than your Anax?” Since when did they dare to cross me? “Your Highness…” he started. I ra
