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

"I'm in the bathroom doing my thing there when you knock on the door," I replied, lying to his face.He smirked, pinching my nose affectionately. "Liar, you are not in the bathroom, you are reading the diary," he said, exposing my lie.I groaned in dismay but smiled anyway, hiding my annoyance. "You can read my eyes like a book. What an amazing skill you have," I said, glaring at him. "Stay away from my thoughts!" I warned him."Too bad, you already let me in," he said, amused."How? When did I ever let you

"Grams, thank you for giving me the chance to borrow this powerful necklace. Without it I'd already be dead by now," I said.Grandma smiled. "You are powerful on your own, child. You just need time to harness your power. By using this necklace you have tasted how good it feels to have limitless power at your disposal to defend yourself and save others from harm.

    ~Emma~It was a sunny afternoon. Alpha Jett and I were planning to visit another park within the city, the last one we hadn't visited yet.I was putting my essentials in my sling bag when my phone rang. I quickly answered it.The caller was my dear grandmother. "Hello, Grams..." I said, wondering why she called all of a sudden."Child, return home right away," Grams Dacia said."Why? Did something happen?" I asked anxiously."No, nothing bad happened. In fact something good happened today, your missing cousin Josephine finally came home!" Grams said happily."Whaaaaat? Is this true?" I shrieked in utter delight."Yes! Come back home immediately!" Grams said. "Josephine will explain everything to you about what happened to her during her disappearance. Hurry up! We will have a happy family reunion once you arrive!" she added merrily."OK, I will come home immediately, but I want to ask this question first. Did she come home alone?" I asked."No, she came home with her husband and her b

    ~Emma~The following day we woke up to a dark sky, heavy rain pouring outside like torrents."The weather is not good today," I commented, glancing at the transparent window."I think there is a hurricane coming," he said sleepily. "Today is a good day to just stay indoors, watch movies, just relax and chill," he said with a wink."Then go back to sleep sleepyhead," I said, smiling in amusement."Wake me up when December comes, babe," he joked."Okie Dokie, go back to sleep while I prepare our breakfast in the kitchen," I said, rising from the bed and entering the bathroom so I could start my day.After I finished in the bathroom, I went to the kitchen and prepared food for breakfast.One hour later, breakfast is ready. I arranged the dishes palatably on the table consisting of creamy waffles, sunny side up egg, ham and slices of ripe mangoes with two cups of hot espresso coffee.I went to the bedroom and announced, "Breakfast is ready!""Coming..." Alpha Jett replied.I returned to t

    ~Emma~I don't want to argue with Alpha Jett now that we are caught in the middle of this blood thirsty vampire."Babe, are you gonna back out on your words this time?" he asked. His jaw clenched.I took a deep breath, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, but what is the use of having so much power if I can't even use it to help others?""Are you trying to be a hero now?" he asked between gritted teeth."I have no choice," I responded casually. "Didn't you see the women's faces? Their eyes were stamped with hopelessness. How can I turn my back on them? How long will they stay this way if we don't save them now?" I said."But we agreed to teleport beforehand if we don't see your cousin among the caged women? And you agreed to it," he reminded me. His tone was heavy with annoyance.We were busy conversing with each other when the announcer's voice rang in the air again, bringing us back to our present surroundings.That's when we noticed that all the vampires around us had already taken their ma

    ~Emma~"This one text informs us about a vampire den who are kidnapping women, suspected to be run by a powerful vampire. Do you think we can find Lucian there?" I asked.Alpha Jett fell silent for a moment. "Although it's the first call we have that tells us about vampires, it doesn't guarantee that Lucian is the powerful vampire leader of that vampire den. It could be anyone. For your information, Lucian doesn't run a vampire den and he doesn't kidnap women randomly," he said, trying to defend his family's friend.I snorted. "But he kidnapped my cousin. That makes him a bad vampire and a kidnapper! And if the texter is telling the truth, there are many women who are trapped in that mansion. What if Lucian owned the house or he was the one running that den?""Lucian would never do such things, period!" Alpha Jett insisted.I looked him in the eyes, getting annoyed at how he still trusted and defended that vampire kidnapper. "Tell me. How well did you know Lucian? Have you stayed by h

    ~Emma~After a good night's sleep, we woke up to a bright new day. We take our time at the dining table, enjoying the morning with our morning coffee and the delicious breakfast we ordered from the restaurant across the street.While eating we discussed our schedule for the day."We will go to the mall to buy groceries after we visit the newspaper headquarters," I said."Yes, ma'am. I'll obey all your orders," Alpha Jett jokingly said.I grinned. His absolute cooperation with my cause made me happy. We no longer fight or argue and I'm trying not to get upset easily. I'm trying to focus on the task ahead. I realized that getting mad at Alpha Jett and his family will not help me in finding Lucian and my cousin Josephine.I have to block out other negative thoughts and emotions in order to focus on my mission.As long as I have Alpha Jett and my family's unwavering support, I will achieve greater things in the future, including finding Josephine."How is your family nowadays?" I asked, p

    ~Emma~At 2:00 in the afternoon, we packed our bags and put them in the trunk of the car. After making sure we didn't leave anything behind, we left the house and got into our vehicle, ready to leave.Lucian's abandoned home has been our home for 7 days.I looked at the imposing old structure in front of me, sighing heavily."Are you okay?" Alpha Jett asked, inspecting my face."I'm fine," I responded with a smile. "Let's go to the city now and get this over with," I said.He replied, "Alright, let's teleport back to the area in the woods near the highway.""OK." I nodded my head.Alpha Jett initiated the teleportation process in his mind and we disappeared from the hill. A few moments later we appeared in a small clearing near the trees fifty meters away from the road. We were lucky because there were no passing vehicles at that time.He drove the car out of the woods and we traveled smoothly on the open highway."We have two main cities to choose from, West and East? Where should we

    ~Emma~The following day I woke up to a bright new day. The sun shone brightly in the sky above.The morning is great, no mosquito bites for me and my handsome companion who is still sleeping soundly beside me. I wonder when he slept, a while ago? Or he fell asleep the moment I drifted into a deep slumber.Anyways, I got out of bed, went to the bathroom and gargled water in my mouth and splashed some on my face to finally awaken my senses.When I emerged from the bathroom door a few minutes later, my companion was still sleeping so I let him be. He deserved a good sleep after staying awake last night.I exited the room and boiled water for coffee.A few minutes later, I got my mug, some crackers and settled comfortably on the chair on the balcony, enjoying my hot drink.I scanned the surrounding area and was greeted with the tranquil sight of the majestic mountains looming in the distance. This place is truly magnificent and ethereal especially during the early morning.I wonder where

    ~Emma~After six hours journey, we finally arrived at the castle aka a huge mansion situated on a hill overlooking the ocean. I looked at the gate, no guard was stationed at the massive iron rusted looking gate."That is Lucian's home," Alpha Jett pointed his hand at the massive house looming in front of us.The mansion looks like it belong to a bygone era. It has been abandoned for a long time. No movement or sound could be heard coming from the house. The only sounds I can hear are the sounds of insects and birds chirping above us, originating from the branches of the few trees surrounding the area. The vast lawn was taken over by overgrown wild plants and bushes."Do you want to enter the gate?" he asked. "Or leave and go home?""I won't leave." I said, shaking my head, refusing to leave until I saw my cousin alive. "Let's check the house and gather some clues," I responded, getting out of the car.Alpha Jett and I held hands and teleported inside the mansion. The place was huge. S
