~Emma~He looked at me, a bit hesitating to answer my question. "They had friendly conversations between them, but if you want to ask if they are chummy with each other. I really don't know because I don't watch their movements 24/7."He paused for a moment and continued, "They are interacting with each other normally, nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't seen them holding hands, stealing glances at each other or wearing that love struck look on their faces. I haven't seen them affectionate with each other. They are not romantically entangled with each other. Period." He concluded his statement."I see, how about Alpha Jagger? He is not attracted to my cousin even a tiny bit?" I asked, wanting to cover everything so I can form a conclusion of my own.He shook his head. "No. Jagger is not attracted to Josephine at all. She was not his type," he said quickly."So why is your brother Jayden admitted to a mental hospital? What is the reason why he had a mental breakdown or why he was suf
~Emma~Alpha Jett fell silent after hearing my question."Why are you not answering me?"As I continued observing his face, I realized that he had difficulty answering my question because before I arrived in their midst, they had a peaceful relationship. "It's the mate bond that changes you overnight. The pull of the mate bond is powerful and once you meet your fated mate, other people don't matter anymore. Am I right?"He took a deep breath and raked his hands on his hair out of frustration. Then he looked at me, meeting my gaze. "Yes, you are right.""I see... so the mate bond is the culprit. You are not the problem. You are drawn to me, attracted to me, pushed by a powerful force that you can't control. Am I right?"He nodded his head in silence."Your Moon Goddess is cruel, ripping apart a loving couple because of the mate's bond. That kind of bond leaves a bitter taste in my mouth," I retorted, shaking my head disdainfully.He groaned, looking annoyed. "Please leave the Moon Godde
~Emma~I looked at him appreciatively. He is such an eye candy, no lie. If I'm not pursuing the investigation of my cousin's disappearance I will fully enjoy this moment with him.The moment was perfect.Only the two of us in this small paradise where everything was nice and laid back. We are free to do anything, enjoy each other's company and forget all our worries behind.He edged closer to me, our hands almost touching. "If we meet at another time and there is no problem between us, would you give me a chance?" he asked.I fell silent. I can't answer his question right away.My silence stretched for minutes and he was getting impatient."Silence means yes?" he asked, looking at me deeply.I smiled. "You are really under the spell of the mate bond. Your eyes say it all.""Yeah, you are right. But mate bond or not I will still like you just the same," he said, looking at me with adoration flashing in his eyes."How flattering?" I giggled in elation. A gorgeous guy was showering me wit
~Alpha Jett~I entered the room where we usually hold family meetings, discussing sensitive and important topics. My sister and brother were already seated.I smiled at my mother and father. "Welcome back Mom, Dad!" I said cheerfully, taking a seat beside my sister.My parents nodded their heads, acknowledging my presence.My mother looked at me and said, "Your sister and brother have already informed us about the new healer. We only hear good things about her. Where is she right now? Resting in her room?""Emma is in the pool right now. We were swimming there a while ago," I answered casually.My brother's brows snapped together, his face darkened. "Huh? You went swimming with her in the pool? Don't tell me you already flirted with her? Are you planning to seduce her?" he asked, his tone laced with annoyance."What's the problem, bro?" I asked, looking at him surprised by his reaction.My brother snarled. "You already had Shirley, stick with her! Don't corrupt my private healer. She's
~Emma~I was staring at the sky above, wondering why Alpha Jett took so long to come back for me? I'm looking forward to meeting the royal couple.Did something happen? I can feel something is not right in the air.Well, it seems my instinct is trying to warn me, something is up because the door to the pool opened, Shirley and Augusta marched into the pool wearing their skimpy swimsuit attires.They stopped in their tracks when they saw me and their faces turned dark for obvious reasons. These women really hate my guts. Were they thinking Alpha Jett was here and found me instead?I stood up, not planning to stay in the same place surrounded by two women that made my blood boil.Shirley blocked my path leading to the door. "Wait a minute, girl. Where are you going? We just arrived here. Why don't you join us? The pool is wide enough for us all to fit in."I took a deep breath. "You can have the pool to yourselves, I'm done swimming. Enjoy!" I responded with a smile.Shirley's brows snap
~Emma~I waited for his answer. He looked like he had a hard time admitting the truth to my face. "It's okay, I'm not going to be mad at you. In fact I'm happy for you. I want to congratulate you for successfully having a child with Shirley. Congratulation!" I said. My congratulatory words didn't reach my heart though. I'm not sincere with my words and I don't care.Damn, he doesn't feel happy at all. He feels sad and tormented. What a way to welcome a baby into this world. Sigh, poor baby. His or her parents are in conflict and not on good terms.I feel truly sad for Alpha Jett right now.He closed his eyes for a second, shaking his head, trying to clear the fog from his mind. He reached for my hand and said, "Let's teleport to your room so we can have privacy," he whispered as we heard footsteps coming our way.A few seconds later, we appeared in my room and sat on the bed, facing each other."I don't know where to begin. The one who broke the news that Shirley is pregnant is my moth
~Emma~"Here we are at the basement door," Alpha Jett announced.When I opened my eyes, we were already standing outside the door leading to the basement.He grabbed the doorknob and pushed open the door. He switched on the light, flooding the whole place with light and we started our descent down the staircase going down to the basement. The whole place was tidy, no clutter at all.When our feet touched the ground, I saw five closed doors waiting to be opened.He brought me to door number four and opened it. "Just wait here. I'll enter the room and get the box containing your cousin's things," he said."OK." I watched him turn on the light inside the room and remove one big cartoon box then put it down in front of me. "This box contains all the things she left behind," he declared."Thank you." I was about to open the box but he stopped me."Let's go back to your room. You can check the contents there," he suggested."OK," I agreed.He grabbed the box with his right hand and held my h
~Emma~I looked at Alpha Jagger. He was silent. I wonder what he is thinking in his mind right now? I hope he will stop nurturing romantic feelings towards me because I'm not going to choose him. This whole family is too much for me to handle. I'm not fit to belong in the royal couple's family. I'm an outsider.Then Alpha Jagger looked at me. "Emma, where did your power come from?" he asked curiously.My forehead creased for a few seconds then I smiled. "My healing skill you mean?""Yup. Why are you so capable?" he asked."It's in our blood. I belong to the Sacred Flame Healer Tribe. We were born healers. My grandmother taught me everything about healing along with my cousin Josephine since we were young," I said, intentionally mentioning my cousin's name so I could freely ask him what happened to her."Yeah, Josephine is an amazing healer too! She cured my chronic asthma. Human doctors and their medicines can't find anything wrong with me. But the cough persists and she comes and hea
~Emma~When I turned around I didn't see my cousin, instead I saw five teenagers chatting merrily with each other. My brows knitted in confusion.Then it suddenly dawned on me that one of thegirls' namesisEmmaand the one who called my namehas a similarvoicetomy cousin.My excitement evaporated into thin air. Sigh. Ithought thattoday Icouldfinally see my cousin again. I was deeply disappointed. Destiny is playing a cruel joke on me!Alpha Jett saw the big disappointm
~Emma~I looked at Alpha Jett and then at Alpha Jagger. They are waiting for me to decide. I need to think of an alibi fast before the two brothers start arguing with each other."Um, guys, can I go to my room and rest? I have my period?" I said, caressing my tummy. "I have menstrual cramps," I added for good measure."Ok, go ahead," Alpha Jagger said, stepping aside as I passed by him on the stairs, heading to my room on the second floor.The moment I closed the door, I locked it securely.I went to bed and lay down, staring at the ceiling, wondering what time the royal couple would return home. I can't wait to know if I get a chance to see and cure Alpha Jayden before they send me home.If Alpha Jayden's case requires long treatment I might be able to stay longer in this mansion. As long as I see a ray of hope my mission continues.I smiled because I had tricked the brothers into believing I had my period today. They would not disturb me now.Since Alpha Jagger is already healed he d
~Emma~Nice! Julie is in a good mood today. I might as well ask her now."Um, can I ask you about my cousin Josephine?" I begin my inquiry.Julie's brows drew together. "What about her?""We all know she disappeared. My family and I have been trying to find her, so I'm hoping I can find answers here since this is the place where everything started," I said.Julie took a deep breath. "Unfortunately I can't say much about her disappearance because she was out there in the city during her rest day. Then she didn't return home afterwards. That's all I can say to you.""Thank you for the information." I sighed inwardly, feeling disappointed. As expected Julie told me the same thing, nothing new.Julie stood up. "If nothing else, I'm going to my room.""OK. Thanks." I said, nodding my head, watching her walk away and climb the staircase. She was clearly avoiding me now.I sighed deeply. What to do next?I scanned the living room, trying to imagine what happened here? On that night when my c
~Emma~When I woke up the next day, Alpha Jett was no longerbymy side. Igotup from the bed and entered the bathroom to perform my morning routine.After emerging from the bathroom I got some clothes from the closet and put them on.I need to go downstairs to get my morning coffee. When I exited my room, Alpha Jett was also exiting his room. We looked at each other."Good morning," I said with a smile."Good morning,babe.
~Emma~I was already yawning, feeling sleepy. It was already 10:00 in the evening but Alpha Jetthadn'tteleported to my room yet. I think he's not coming, maybe he changed his mind.I went to bed and lay down, not bothering to turnoffthe light. I hate waking upsubmerged inthe dark and someoneentersmy room without my permission.I draped the blanket over my body and closed my eyes. All the things I said to the royalfamily duringdinner replayed in my head.How will they decide tom
~Emma~The royal couple were stunned by my request. I was so confident I could cure Alpha Jayden, I was willing to shoot myself in the foot. If I can't cure Alpha Jayden they won't kill me, right? At least I tried.The truth is I just want to see Alpha Jayden. Maybe he can pave a way for me to find the truth about my missing cousin. I can only take chances, grasping for straws because no one was willing to help me.What I really need to see is the body of my cousin if she is already dead and where her location is if she is still alive. Is that hard to ask?I looked at their faces. They are no longer staring at me. They are preoccupied with their own thoughts, only Shirley continues to stare at me with contempt in her eyes.She sneered. "You are so full of yourself, girl. Who do you think you are? Do you think you are the greatest healer alive that you think you can cure Alpha Jayden?" Shirley said in a mocking tone.I ignored Shirley because I'm not here to quarrel with her. I'm here
~Emma~I raised my head and it's no other than the jealous freak Shirley. I took a deep breath. "I'm just sittinghere.I'm not harming anyone so please leave me alone," I replied."You look sorelaxedas if you are not working here. You are not even a guest here. Shameless," Shirley sneered, looking at me as if I'm a useless ant in her eyes.I rolled my eyes and stood up. Her hostile attitude towards me is irritating the hell out of me."Get outof my sight!"Shirley ordered angrily.
~Emma~I asked, "What are you doing there?""Do you want to stroll with me to the forest? Come with me to the forest," Augusta suggested.I shook myhead.I will never trust her again. I'm no longer naive. "No. Go alone if you want."Augusta sighed. "Then stay away from Alpha Jett, okay?""None of your business!" I said and left the window.I went to bed
~Emma~The next day, after lunch, I was with Alpha Jagger in the garden when I noticed that Oscar the gardener was not in the garden at thatmoment. Whereis he?Ah, maybe he was having a rest day today. I'm afraid Alpha Jett already informed his parents about what Oscar told me. I don't want him to lose his job."Emma, what are you looking at?" Alpha Jagger asked.I shook my head and gave him my full attention. "Nothing..."He said, "Can w
