Becoming The Werewolf Queen

Chapter 008

~~Esmeralda~~

I felt insanely drawn to him, I couldn’t even control myself at all, it was almost like I wasn’t myself at that moment. I stared down at the wolf, feeling like I felt the first time I met Thorne.

What exactly is going on right now? Is it just because it’s the full moon and our senses are always really heightened? My heart dipped when I saw the wolf nudged its head again, urging me to come outside.

It was just like I wasn’t in control of my body because I started walking out of the door and was soon at the back of my room where the wolf stayed.

His glowing eyes shone down on me, making me feel like going back inside. The intensity in his eyes made me want to just disappear or something, I felt my insides turn at the way he stared at me.

The wolf moved really close to me and I almost urinated right there on the spot when it started sniffing me. I hated what he was doing, so I moved back, but the wolf let out a very low but thick growl that had me stay rooted to the ground.

Killian didn’t just hate me, he also hated my presence. So, for his wolf to be sniffing me this way, it definitely wouldn’t end well for me.

Wait, what if the wolf picks out that I’m pregnant? What happens to me then? What if he smells Thorne’s blood in the baby too? This really won’t end well for me.

“Don’t worry, I’ve concealed that. No one will know that you’re pregnant till you’re ready to let them know.” My wolf said in my head, frightening me.

I was really starting to cope without having an additional voice in my head that replies to things for me.

The wolf stopped sniffing me and just looked right into my eyes, something shifted in his eyes almost immediately. A new found level of fear unlocked in me as I saw the carnal look in his eyes.

I realized that the wolf had a normal look on its face earlier, it was just me who was scared. But now, it looked deadly and really animalistic.

“Kill-Killian.” I stuttered, trying to break the tense atmosphere around us.

I should have just stayed inside, I should have never thought of coming out here to him. What if he eats me here? It’s not like anyone would react to that, no one will miss me or even feel anything. Well, maybe except Lily.

But the thought of something really bad happening without anyone coming to my rescue invoked more fear in me and I instinctively moved back.

As I did that, the wolf got angry and backed me against the wall. Within seconds, it shifted from a wolf to Killian himself, making me even more scared. I should have thought this through before coming out here at all.

“Who are you?” The voice sounded nothing like Killian’s, it sounded more like an animal, but he has shifted already, he’s no longer in wolf form.

“I’m… my name is Esmeralda. The rogue you rescued days ago.” I said, stuttering badly. It was almost like I was reminding him so he wouldn’t forget that he knows me, maybe he had forgotten me, though I highly doubt that.

“Why can’t you leave my head? Why do I have to see you everywhere I go? What exactly are you?” He leaned really closer to me as he asked that question.

All my senses have been clouded with fear before, but I allowed my natural senses to take over for some seconds and I finally caught a whiff of his scent.

The only time I’ve ever smelt something that good was the day I met Thorne. But this one, it seemed to be a new discovery or something.

Because with Thorne, his own natural scent became my favorite after I met him. But Killian’s own consisted of something that has been my all favorite smell.

It seemed i had even forgotten that I used to really love the smell of the woods after it had rained and everything in the woods let out their natural smell. I love that and strawberry, I had never even thought that there’d be an instance where those two could be mixed together.

That’s exactly what Killian smells like, my insides did a backflip at that. My wolf was even more excited about the smell.

“Why are you everywhere in my head? Why can’t you just leave me alone? Who sent you?” He growled into my ears. I stiffened a bit as his hand went to my waist.

His hand was on my clothes but I could practically feel its warmth everywhere in my body. It wasn’t sparks, it was something more than just sparks.

“I don’t know what you think you are, or the kind of spell you have on me. But I won’t fall for it, and neither will Killian. And the moment I find out that you’re really a spy, I’ll behead you without thinking twice.” He said, his voice so dark and deep that it felt as though he was in my head.

“I’m not a spy.” I don’t know how my times I want to repeat that same sentence to him.

“You don’t look like a rogue. You want to know what I did to the last spy that was sent here? I cut her fingers one after the other and fed it to the vultures, then I cut off her head, but I started with slicing her throat, so she felt the pain first before dying miserably.”

That invoked fear in me, especially with the way he made sure his voice sounded sinister. But I knew I wasn’t a spy, so that won’t happen to me.

“Why didn’t you let that rogue kill me then? Why did you save me if you thought I was a spy?”

“That’s because of that stupid pull I felt towards you, we thought you were our pack member. Don’t even think too much about the fact that I saved you, you mean nothing to me.”

He let out a little growl as he moved back, almost as if it hurt him to move away from me, but he did then he walked away.
