~Emma~The smile on Alpha Jett's face was gone the instant he understood I'm upset and annoyed with his wedding plans.He scratches his head, "Um, I thought you would love to be with me and eventually get married to me. Our feelings were mutual, right? You like me and I like you. We are attracted to each other. It's only right that we are together for the rest of our lives. This is the perfect time to be together because Shirley is no longer a hindrance to our relationship. No one can stop us now. We are free and my parents have already given us their blessing. Everything is perfect! Isn't that amazing?" he asked giddily. Happiness was back on his face in full force.For a moment I was moved by the happiness I saw on his face.I can't bring myself to make him feel sad again, as if my very own heart was protecting him.I love shouting to his face that the wedding won't happen until I solve my cousin's disappearance.I sighed inwardly. I can't bring that issue again or maybe... I should
~Emma~We wasted no time. We're both excited about our date. We went to our respective rooms to dress up for the occasion and get ready.I went to my room, took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, then prepped up my appearance in the mirror and then got ready for Alpha Jett to come to my room.I didn't wait for a long time 'coz a few minutes later, he appeared in my room.We both wear casual attire, jeans and t-shirts."Are you ready, babe?" he asked."Yes!" I responded cheerily, my eyes shimmering with excitement."Alright, let's go," he said and intertwined his hands with mine.We teleported to their family condo in the city.We landed in the room of the condo, left the room and the building and proceeded to the nearest mall to go window shopping. I'm not planning to buy anything today. I just want to spend time with Alpha Jett and savor our sweet moments together.We walked to the mall and arrived there feeling thirsty. We went straight to the cafe in the mall and ordered avocado and
~Emma~I fell silent for a moment, digesting things carefully because Shirley's condition is complicated. Since Alpha Jett ask my suggestion he valued my opinion so I have to give him a good answer that will benefit everybody especially he is the father of the baby in Shirley's womb.I heaved a sigh. "We are protecting an innocent baby inside a murderer woman's womb, right?""Correct," he replied."We can't separate the fetus from its mother because the pregnancy is at still an early stage, in short the baby won't survive," I continued."Yup, unfortunately," he murmured.I breathed deeply. "We have a very complicated situation here, we are dealing a pressure cooker test, if we failed to come up with a wise decision the consequences can be harmful to the baby's health. At this very moment, the baby's survival lies in Shirley's willingness to continue living and take care of her health, it will secure the baby's health as well. If the mother is healthy the baby is also healthy.""Exactl
~Emma~Shirley was standing on the floor, laughing hard, happy and thrilled with her achievement. "Wow, I got your necklace. It's the source of your power, right? This is mine now! I will use this to escape this room you imprisoned me in!" she grinned, laughing like a lunatic woman.I groaned in dismay and shouted, "Shirley, don't even try it! Give it to me before you will suffer the consequences of your action!""That necklace is dangerous!" I warned her.Shirley turned deaf ears to my plea."Give it to me now!" I demanded indignantly.Shirley ignored me and continued staring at the necklace. "Silver necklace, I command you to get me out of here! Bring me back to my house! Now!" she commanded, thinking it worked like a genie in a bottle.I'm shaking my head in astonishment, stupid girl!Fine! I want her to learn a valuable lesson today.Nothing happens after Shirley commands the necklace.Suspenseful moments passed by.In the blink of an eye, smoke came out of the necklace and flames
~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~My morning started well. I had a good night's sleep and woke up at 7:00 in the morning. I think I overslept, but it's okay. After what happened yesterday I need a well-deserved rest and break.Maybe the royal family will give me a rest day? I haven't asked for one yet. I've been working non-stop in the mansion without taking a day off.It's okay, I will have a day off soon.I will have a long rest after I leave this place and return to my hometown.Time to start my day.I left the bed and went to the bathroom.When I emerged from the bathroom door a few moments later, I got a big surprise upon seeing Alpha Jett in my room. He was arranging wooden trays filled with delicious breakfast on the bed."Good morning, babe. I brought you breakfast in bed. I hope you like it," he said, grinning broadly, proud of his effort.I smiled in amusement. "Wow, thank you for the breakfast in bed. I never had one in my entire life," I said, laughing in merriment. There are waffles, ham, a sunny s
~Emma~Although I hate Shirley's bad attitude, I can't help but pity the unborn child in her tummy. The innocent baby is one reason I'm trying to control my temper around her.It's easy to give in to my anger and hatred towards her because of the horrible things she did to me, but the thoughts of the baby dying because of my revenge stopped me from harming Shirley and taking my revenge.Shirley is at her lowest moment now. I still have a little bit of empathy left for her.She looked at me, blinding me with her glare. "Why are you still here? Enjoying my discomfort and misery? Enjoy it while you still can," she said resentfully.I ignored her nasty attitude and focused on the baby's well-being. "Stop being negative, your current situation is already bad. The best thing you can do now is focus your energy and attention on the baby in your tummy. Start caring for your baby's well-being. Stop being mean to everyone," I said, giving her golden advice.Shirley snapped at me. "Why do you ca
~Emma~I have fallen asleep for three full hours and when I wake up I feel energized and refreshed. I feel so much better after having a good rest. Things will get better from now on since Augusta was already imprisoned in the dungeon and Shirley in the basement.Their fall from grace is my reward for their bullying.Now I can finally focus my attention on my investigation of my missing cousin.I rise from the bed.Despite the tragedy that has befallen us, I'm still thankful that no one died today. I feel better now that the bad guys are already locked up. They can no longer hurt innocent people again.Time to leave the room and check on my patients.I went to the bathroom to take care of the call of nature and check the magic bottle I hung in the shower head. It's still there, so I removed it and put it inside the closet.I went to the dressing table and brushed my tangled messy hair.Done fixing my hair, I exited the room and went downstairs, heading to the servants' quarters.After
~Emma~After Shirley was taken to her new room in the basement, the rest of her clothes and stuff were also sent there.Alpha Jett returned to my side and we chatted for a few minutes. We decided to relocate the remaining patients to the servants' quarters so they could rest comfortably on the bed.My three patients fell asleep after taking the third dose. They seemed to be doing well, which gave me tremendous relief."Why don't you go back to your room and take a rest? You've been doing all the hard work and everything is taking a toll on you. Your face looks haggard as if you are carrying the world on your shoulder," he said softly, massaging my hands. "I'm so sorry you have to suffer the worst in their hands," he said apologetically.I took a deep breath. "We all suffered terribly at their hands. The mental, emotional and psychological torture they put us through is the worst kind I will never forget," I said. Tears filled my eyes. I can still remember how my blood ran cold when the
~Emma~I looked at him hard, scrutinizing his face closely. He looks fine, no trace of poison on his body anymore. "Bring your family upstairs and put them together in one room so they can rest properly and comfort each other. Then come back here and teleport these two despicable women into the dungeon and imprison them there forever until they die. They are dangerous people. They are not permitted to see the light of day ever again. Don't tell anyone where you hid them. Do you understand?" I gave him my instructions."I understand." Alpha Jett nodded his head, agreeing to my suggestion.He left my side and brought his family to their rooms upstairs to rest.There are three house staff that I need to observe closely because they are still feeling weak. I think they are not recovering well. One of them is Carlos. I'm getting worried about them because they are the last three people who received medicine. Maybe I was too late to save them but I did my best. Right now they look weak. I w
