*EMMA*"Emma, please say yes to marrying me, we want this, our parents want this please so I see why not" Jake begged, trapping my face between his hands while slightly brushing his lips against mine. I do love him more than anything but I couldn't help but hesitate, I felt pressured.Jake would never hurt me, I mean he's a great guy and he wants me as much as I wanted him. This would be the second time he was proposing to me. The first time, I had a pretty solid excuse but this time around I couldn't think of any reason why I shouldn't marry him yet something in me was hesitating. I took a deep breath before stepping away from him, pain flashing across his eyes as he stared at me. "I love you Jake, you know I do but I feel like we are rushing things. What's the hurry? We are both still young and...." I trailed off, looking at him curiously for some explanation."I'm tired of waiting Emma, I want you to be mine in every way there is. You said you love me, is that true?" He asked, maki
*Emma* Despite my cries, pleas, and everything, I was thrown into a waiting car that drove off as soon as I was thrown in, I banged on the window cursing at the guy who had thrown me over his shoulder to get me out of the car. Somebody should get the police! But when it seemed like that wasn't going to happen plus I was getting tired of banging on the window, I was hungry. I didn't eat breakfast because I was too excited to chew down anything.I blinked back the tears in my eyes, then glance beside me and let out a startled scream when I saw Jet sitting there, I was so lost in my misery that I didn't notice I wasn't in the back seat alone, and I couldn't believe he just calmly sat down there and watch me yell and scream."You are enjoying this right?" I asked glaring at him as I shifted to the end of the car. If someone happens to open the door, I'd slide out without any push, my wedding dress might get stuck on the door though."Hi mate" He grinned showing a set of white teeth, and w
*EMMA*Suddenly I blinked awake, feeling hungry, tired and puzzled cause I had expected all this to be a nightmare well it look like I'm back to leaving my nightmare, it was then I realized my head was placed on someone's hard but yet comfortable shoulder, I jerked away from him not believing he let me rest my head on his shoulder for so long—well sort of cause since I have no idea how long I was out for."You are awake" He hummed dropping the newspaper he was reading on the flight deck, who still read newspapers? I glared at him. "Words. Emma" He ordered.I frowned, staring at him. "How do you know my name?" My eyes widened in surprise, my arm arched, and my whole body was sore. I badly wanted to get out of this dress but I have nothing to change into plus there was no way I'm going to ask my kidnappers any favour. "And how long are we going to be on this plane?""Two days" Was all he said purposely ignoring my first question. "Did you sleep well?" He required staring at me in a way
*EMMA* Even though there is no escape way unless I have a death wish, I purposely spent several amounts of time in the lady's room doing absolutely nothing, Anastabitch had given me a pair of jeans and a tank top to change into earlier, and I hate the fact that my belly button was out there for anyone who cares to look at it, I couldn't complain though, I couldn't be more glad to be out of that wedding dress.*Wedding* Not in my weirdest dream did I think my wedding day would end up with me being Kidnapped and whisk away on a plane going to only God knows well, I blinked the tears away from my eyes, refusing to show any sign of sadness or weakness, I know of I do Jet is going to use it against me. I don't trust him, he hasn't hurt me now but what proof do I have that he wouldn't hurt me later? With those dark eyes with gold highlights, I don't know why but I love his eyes, something in them just keeps wanting me to reach out.Frowning at my silly thoughts, I shook my head releasing i
*EMMA* I watched him storm away not believing he would starve me for saying that, perhaps this is for the better, I thought relaxing back into my chair, if I keep pushing him, he would eventually take me back home. Ignoring the way my stomach was protesting, I looked around and then picked up the fashion magazine laying around in one of the seats. “Is there any way you can tame that animal inside your stomach? I could hear it all the way from where I was sitting” Ana said as she stopped beside me.”You know, if you want to eat, all you have to do is ask and listen to Alpha. No one disobeys him, especially a captive”“What’s your job again? Sticking your nose in someone else's business or offering your shitty opinion that doesn’t matter? Last time I remember, you are a flight attendant” I retorted, which made her scoff at me."Which is so much better than being a prisoner" She fired back, I stood up and we both glared at each other. It was only when she saw Jet coming that she broke e
*EMMA* Perhaps I was crazy, or out of my mind for letting a total stranger, not just a stranger but someone who had kidnapped me to kiss me in such a way, that no man had ever done and trust me, I have kissed a lot of guys before but it compared to this. His lips claimed mine, demanding and domineering as if declaring that I was his, that is if his words didn’t make it clear enough.I moaned softly into his mouth as he thrust his tongue boldly into my mouth, I should have pushed him away. I wanted to but my body wasn’t cooperating with me. It has been that way since I set eyes on him, I dig my fingers into his shoulders and when he groans in response, something inside me throbs and the pulse between my legs becomes more pronounced. When he finally pulled away from the kiss, I immediately looked down at my hands, I felt ashamed of myself. I wanted to cry from embarrassment, I couldn't believe I let him kiss me and actually enjoyed it. Jake and I hadn't done anything past kissing, shoc
*EMMA* Frowning at his words and wondering what he just called me, before I could ask him what he meant by that, he was urging me towards the waiting car, a driver was already waiting for us with the door open, I look around the large airport or what seems like it, trying to find anything familiar but nothing, I have never heard or been to this place before. However, I was feeling relieved because this might be the last time I'll ever see Anastabitch. That woman gets on my nerves. "Welcome back Alpha" The driver's voice made me look at Jet, temporarily bringing me out of my thoughts. I glanced at Jet, again wondering why everyone was calling him Alpha. Alpha means leader, an authority figure of course, I know that but what I don’t understand was him being called that—unless he was their leader which proves my theory about them being alien!"Move Emma" The warning in his voice made me realise I had stopped walking and even the driver was staring at me curiously. Kale laughed as he wal
*EMMA* "What in the world is going on?" I asked between my teeth as Jet put his hand on my waist guiding me up to tone staircase which leads to the huge front door of the castle, the door opened on it own and we went inside, I thought the outside was amazing, the the inside beat my imagination, a crystal white glass all around, you could no doubt see your reflection in it, I spot a roll of maids standing either side of us, they all bowed when we walked past, I could feel their curious stare on me.Jet stopped walking, stepping away from me. "You are to show our guest her room, draw her a bath, have food brought to her room. Do whatever she ask of you, in the meantime I'll talk to madam Katherine about appointing a personal maid for her" It was an order no sooner than he said that, five maids were already beside me, my father happens to be rich yes, but I have never received treatment like this from our servants, so it's technically all new to me."Noted Alpha" They chorus, I watched a
FREYA I had two days until the full moon, a night I was dreading like never before. I ended up falling asleep by my dressing table and paid the price this morning when I woke up with a sore neck. I sat upright, pushing my hair back from my face, I stared at my reflection in the mirror and awful doesn’t even begin to cover how terrible I looked! Not only were there dark circles under my eyes, they were also red and swollen as if I had cried through the night. I touched my face, feeling the dry trace of tears left behind. Letting out a tired sigh, I stood up to go freshened up before Hazel or anyone else found me in such state. After having my bath, I came back to my dressing table to apply some concealer under my eyes, covering the dark circles. It’s situations like these that makes me really glad for the invention of make-up because what would I have done? I further applied some lip gloss to moisturize my dry lips, and then rounded up by brushing my hair. There was a gentle knock
FREYA By the time we made it back home, darkness had creeped it way into day time. Claire and Camille immediately hurried out to help lead the rescued humans into the mansion where they will be staying until Trisha can undo whatever damages done to them by the council before they are returned to the human world. Fortunately there wasn’t much to be undo as they just arrived and haven’t been taken to the lab yet. A part of me had hoped Jet’s leaving got delayed but when it was only Kake who came to join us, I felt a bit disappointed even though I understood everyone had to play their part. “Here.” I felt a tap on my shoulder, turning around, it was to see Hunter extending my dagger toward me. “I found it near the guards and knew you must have forgotten it there.” “Thank you so much! I had been worried sick thinking I left it behind, the council could trace it back to Rosewood.” I gestured towards the Rosewood seal on the digger, as a wave of relief washed over me. “That is one be
FREYA Trisha sensed an entrance with her magic as we drew closer to the fence, instead of the typical fence wall I was used to, this one was completely different. The entire fence was built with silver and I couldn’t wrap my head at how impossible that seemed except looking at it now, it was very possible. Since there wasn’t any visible entrance, Trisha proceeded to make one creating a portal.Once I signal to Hunter, he came to join us with the rest and together we matched into the building. Just as we anticipated, the floor was heavily guarded, nothing from outside but more from inside. I pulled out my dagger from my waist pocket, loving how light the metal is, we were almost immediately swapped on by the security guards, an alarm system blasting off in the distance. “Trisha, you need to deactivate the alarm, the rest of us we take care of the guards.” Hunter instructed and Trisha immediately dashed off in the direction where the sound was blasting from.I felt high on adrenaline
FREYA So much has been going on these past few days, after my freak out with Trisha the other day, I had joined her and Claire’s meditation sessions but that hasn’t been the highlight of it all. A message from one of Jet positioned spies came in yesterday, a tip about an abandoned warehouse where the councils will be dropping their new shipment. By new shipment, it meant where they would be dropping their latest batch of humans to experiment on and someone from the councils will be coming to transport them to their secret base. The plan was for us to get to the warehouse before any of the council's men or representatives made their way there. The thought made me sick to my stomach, rescuing the victims will be pointless if we don’t totally uproot the root of the problem entirely. “So, it has been decided, Claire shall stay behind to take charge of the Beta mansion where the rescues will be staying until they are taken back to where they came from. Trisha, Hunter and Freya will lead
FREYA My protest died down my throat as Jet moved in on me, instead of tying me up like he threatened, he caged me against the bed overboard with his body. I glared up at him, my face setting into an angry scowl. “Can we not do this?” I said, knowing I might fold with the way he was trying to distract me. “Will you move your things back?” “Not a chance.” I responded, letting out a sigh. “I do understand that you have a hard time expressing yourself and being vulnerable but my parents kept a huge part of their lives a secret from me and you of all people know how that turned out.” I reached to cup his face. “I hate not knowing the part of you that existed before me.”He closed his eyes briefly, relaxing into my touch before he completely pulled away a minute later to sit beside me. ”I did not let you in because I hate recalling those memories.” He glanced sideways at me. “I lost my parents at the age of sixteen after one of the council's attacks, it was not the first attack they mad
FREYA Reaching the stair-landing, a familiar figure blocked my path stopping me from moving any further. I frowned up at Kale, my eyes filled with questions I was too distracted to ask. I looked past him to see that I’ve lost sight of both Trisha and Jet. ‘’Is there any. Treason why you’re in my way?’’ I asked since he just stood there not saying a word or moving out of my way. He held up his hands. ‘’Jet saw you coming after him and mind-linked me to stop you, I had nothing to do with this, I’m simply following orders.’’ He answered. ‘’Why wouldn’t he let me come after him? he’s doing something dangerous right? I demanded and when he hesitated, I knew Jet must have told him not to tell me anything. After everything we’ve been through? screw that! Aftyer the disscussion we had this afternoon?At this point, I was so fuckiomng done! I took a step back, trying not to show how affected I was by what I’ve just learned. ‘’Very well then, I’ll return to my roo, Jet can do whatever the h
FREYA I went back inside feeling better about the whole thing. I decided to stop at the library first to check out the new books Hazel told me about. It was salked up on one of the tables at the entrance, I went through it reading the title and everything. I ended up giving up soon after because I couldn’t get my mind to focus.Instead I pulled out a chair and sat down, my mind drifting back and forth between talking to Jet or giving him space to process what happened. I didn’t want him to feel like I was forcing him to open up when he wasn’t ready. I recalled the first few days of his escape from the council lab, he had nightmares about it for weeks.I didn’t want to imagine the thoughts of Claire going there, an idea suddenly occurred to me. I left the library and went to Jet’s study instead, hoping to find anything on Xavier Jacob. Although he was long dead, saying his name out loud felt like a curse. I looked over my shoulder as the door opened behind me, expecting it to be anyo
FREYAI re-adjusted myself on the horse trying not to slide down as it jerked forward; however, my dilemma seemed to be a source of entertainment for Kale, who kept laughing and making jokes about it.’’This place is simply breathtaking.’’ Claire’s remark caused me to look sideways at what she was referring to.My heart constricted with a wave of sadness at the awe in her voice, not just because it wasn’t beautiful but because she doesn’t remember it. Each time we've gone riding in the past, we’ve always stopped here to enjoy the view while other times, we came here for a picnic.‘’I know right?’’ I agreed knowing she would be expecting me to say something. Hoping this might help her recall something, I tried to smoothly get down my horse but somehow my leg got tangled with the sandals.’’Luna!’’ I heard the other gasp of concern as I managed to kick my leg free but ended up on the ground. ‘’I’m okay, this is just the universe way of telling me it’s time to learn how to ride.’’Claire
FREYA I opened my eyes, a bit surprised to see Jet still asleep. Unusually, he leaves early in the morning to attend his duties as an Alpha, my lips twitch with pleasure as I recalled last night. Blushing, I reached out to sweep the hair that had fallen over his forehead in his sleep, my hand stilled when he stirr, as I didn’t want him to wake up yet. Feeling satisfied, I turned on my back, my thoughts occupied by the recent events that had been happening.In as much as I was mad at Trisha for lying to us, and now that I really think about it, I realize she must have felt she had no choice. I gave over at Jet, dreading the thought of ever becoming a werewolf.It took a while for his pack to accept me as their human Luna, a vampire queen is something I don’t ever see them accepting. Why do terrible things keep happening to me? especially when it seemed like everything was going to be okay? When my mind couldn’t come with an answer I gave up.’’How long have you been staring at me?’’
