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 that moment. Where is 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
~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~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~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 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~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~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~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~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~After spending the rest of the day with my family, chatting nonstop with everyone, we all call it a day with a promise to return next week for a proper family get together to be held in a nice private place, situated on the beach that can be rented for a few days, all expenses paid by Lucian.He's trying to impress and dazzle my whole family with his wealth every chance he gets.Well, I'm trying to act nice when he's around because I don't want to be labeled as the snobbish one.Before we left our house I returned the silver necklace to my grandmother in the privacy of her room. "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. You can borrow this necklace anytime to b
~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
