~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~Today is the day I leave the Sacred Flame Healer Tribe. The Phantom Ridge pack representative will arrive to fetch me. The Alpha king's heir to the throne has been afflicted by a mysterious illness that no other healers can cure.They summoned one healer from our tribe to cure the Alpha. If we didn't send someone to comply with their wishes they would use force to get one.Grandma Dacia put a plain silver necklace around my neck. "Child, this necklace will protect you and keep you safe from harm. Once you arrive at the mansion, stay vigilant, be careful with your words and actions. Do not give them any reason to suspect you that you came to investigate why your cousin Josephine was missing," she reminded me sadly. Her eyes welled up.Josephine was the daughter of my mother's older sister who had passed away along with my parents during the attack by barbaric rogue wolves. Josephine was raised with us by our beloved grandmother. She was like an older sister to me.I took a deep
~Emma~"Y-you also dream of me?" I asked in astonishment.His brows snapped together. "What do you mean?""I also dreamed of you many times. In my dream you commanded the wolves to attack me," I said, looking into his eyes without blinking."Really?" The corner of his mouth lifted in a smirk. "Wow! We dream of each other before we even meet? This is getting interesting!"Then to my surprise I heard him chuckle in amusement.My brows knitted in confusion, wondering why he found our situation amusing.Then he fell silent for a few minutes, in deep thoughts.He looked at me, his eyes shimmering. "It seems we are destined to have an affair with each other. And later on, we kill each other? What a cruel fate we had," he said in dismay, shaking his head in astonishment.I met his intense gaze, trying to guess what he would say next."Are you afraid, baby girl?" he asked, smirking."Don't call me baby girl! I'm not your lover!" I said indignantly, glaring at him, annoyed by his brazen attitu
~Emma~"I'll take it," he said quickly and paid the bill.After the bill is paid, the cashier gave him the room key."Where I'm going to sleep?" I ask worriedly as we climbed the staircase."In the room with me," he answered casually, not bothering to see my reaction."No way!" I said indignantly. "I would rather sleep in the car," I suggested.He shook his head. "With your mesmerising beauty, you might encounter a serial killer and rapist. I don't want bad things happening to you. You will sleep with me in the room. I will sleep on the couch and you take the bed," he said authoritatively, leaving no room for negotiation.I sighed deeply. Not liking the arrangement at all. I want the privacy of my own room.Things have progressed so fast. I'm scared of what's going to happen tonight. What will I do if Alpha Jett pounced on me since he already declared that I'm his mate? Werewolves are fiercely possessive beings when it comes to their fated mate. What if he can't control himself?I shu
~Emma~When I opened my eyes it was already the beginning of a new day. Then I remembered that I was not alone in the room. I was with the arrogant Alpha Jett.Sigh.I glanced at the couch and he was no longer there. Where is he?I heard the splashing of water in the bathroom. Ah, he must be taking a shower. I stretched up and lay still on the bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if he had a good night's sleep last night.Why do I suddenly feel concerned about his well-being?It's no longer my concern. Exactly!I got up from bed, rummaged through my bag and grabbed some clothes. I have chosen black skinny jeans and a red long sleeve polo shirt for today's attire.A few minutes later, Alpha Jett emerged from the bathroom door with a towel wrapped around his hips. His six-pack abs were on full display for my eyes to see. I averted my gaze and looked at the floor, swallowing the lump in my throat. I don't want him to see me drooling over his abs. He might think I'm fantasizing about hi
~Emma~I read a book to keep my mind occupied.Alpha Jett was busy browsing his phone. Who was he texting?None of my business. He glanced at me and smiled seductively. I quickly avoided his gaze and shifted my attention to the book I'm reading.This is getting awkward!I wish the mechanic would arrive soon so he can repair the brakes on Alpha Jett's car. We can finally continue our journey. Getting holed up in a room with a good looking hunk is too much for my poor heart to handle.We're not talking but we are aware of each other and sometimes we both glance at each other at the same time. My face was flushed.Sigh.So embarrassing!I groaned in dismay, annoyed with myself. Why is he so damn hot?Why, oh why? Much better if they sent someone plain looking to fetch me.Alpha Jett's magnetic presence in the room makes me restless.I can't concentrate. I stopped reading and put the book on my lap.Damn! Am I infected with Alpha Jett's charm? What's going on with me? Why am I behaving li
~Emma~I felt my feet land on solid ground in a thud and fell out of balance, but Alpha Jett's was quick to steady me. His arms wrapped around my waist, holding me close to his body and my face was pressed on his muscled chest. I groaned in displeasure."We're here in our family's mansion, babe," he whispered in my ears, almost nuzzling my ears. The act itself was intimate and it took my breath away. Damn!"Did you just did it on purpose?" I asked in annoyance.He chuckled softly. "It was an accident, babe. My first instinct is to grab your waist to prevent you from falling to the floor. Believe me, I'm innocent," he said defensively, his voice flirtatious.I pushed him away, freeing myself from him. I looked around my surroundings and noticed how luxurious the mansion was. The modern state of the art appliances tells me that this mansion cost a lot of money to make. I wonder how rich the Alpha King's family was and where their wealth came from? None of my business of course.Suddenly,
~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.

~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.

~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
