~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~As expected, the black spirit flew out of the window, disintegrated into the air and disappeared completely from my sight. "Good riddance!" I smiled brightly.So, the black entity has been staying in this room for a long time, feeding on Alpha Jagger's body and mind, making him ill?Was it controlled by someone? If yes, who is it?Surprisingly no one noticed it?Interesting...I turned around and approached the bed. I picked up Alpha Jagger's hand and observed his pulse for a minute. He was breathing normally and sleeping soundly, good! I know full well that his body is recovering and healing internally at this very moment.My blood is the most powerful medicine that can cure any disease whether it's man made, nature made or created from black magic, you name it, my blood can cure them all. That's what my grandmother told me and I believe her.I finished treating the royal heir and managed to kick out the dark spirits lurking inside the room.Mission accomplished!All I have to
~Emma~That's the moment Alpha Jagger opened his eyes and grinned. "I'm still alive! I'm just trying to scare you, sis," he said, smiling mischievously after pranking his sister.Julie was annoyed by her brother's prank. "Don't do it again! You scare the hell out of me!" She slapped his arms several times."Ouch! Stop! My bones are breaking," Alpha Jagger protested.Julie smiled. "How are you feeling now, bro?" she asked, looking at his face. All her worries are gone."I'm feeling good after a long time of being sick and it's all because of my new healer Emma and her foul smelling, yucky medicine," Alpha Jagger replied in high spirits.I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. I have a feeling Alpha Jagger and I will become best friends soon, because I saved his life.Alpha Jagger addressed his siblings. "Guys, I appreciate the concern and all. If you don't want to leave the room, please keep your mouth shut. Observe silence please. I need a long rest to recover from my illness. I hope I got
~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
~Emma~Alpha Jett stirred in his sleep and when he opened his eyes, he was shocked to see my hands in flames, too close for his comfort. "What the hell, babe? What are you doing? Are you going to torch me?" he asked nervously, rising from the bed, immediately distancing himself away from me.I stepped closer to him. "I dreamt of my cousin in my sleep just a few minutes ago. She told me that you knew her whereabouts. Please tell me where my cousin is? Stop torturing me! Or we will die together today!" I said, threatening him, my tone hard and cold.We had a staring duel that lasted for a few minutes."You want to kill me? Just to get the truth from me?" he asked in utter disbelief.I groaned in dismay. He still doesn't get it. "I have been suspecting you for a long time that you know about my cousin's whereabouts. You used your charm to get me. But that suspicion never died in my heart. It's more stronger now that my cousin appeared in my dream, informing me that you know where she is!
~Emma~Alpha Jett groaned in displeasure. I could sense he was dying to release his wolf. But he knows pretty well that I'm in control. And he will receive a lashing from me if he goes against my wishes."This girl is pretty. It looks like we already have our 5th victim this month," the leader said. His companions erupted in boisterous laughter and I laughed along with them to their absolute surprise.The leader was amused. "Are you not afraid baby girl? Are you game? Would you like to give us a sexy dance?""Sure! I'll dance for you. You said we were your 5th victim? Is that true?" I asked seductively, eliciting another angry growl from Alpha Jett.The leader smirked. "Don't worry, kitten, if you can make us all happy we will keep you alive for many days," he said devilishly, not bothering to hide his evil intentions."Alright, as long as you promise me that you won't kill me, I'm willing to be your slave. I will give you all a very sexy performance that you will never forget for the
~Emma~One week has passed.Today is the day I go home. I already bid goodbye to the royal couple and the rest of the house staff this morning. I kept my farewell message brief and simple, wishing everyone peace, health and happiness all year round.The rain continued to fall heavily in the afternoon when I was about to go home. Since I chose teleportation as my means of transportation I can leave the mansion anytime I like. My travel bags are already in the corner, ready for pick up.I walked to the window and scanned the surrounding areas, waiting for him to arrive. My heart is waiting for him. I just can't go home without saying goodbye to him.I count from 1 up to 100. If he still doesn't arrive I will finally go home and I will never see or talk to him ever again! He left me hanging in the dark. He broke my heart to pieces with his silence and coldness. He's never acted this way around me in the past. What he has done to me lately has completely shattered my heart.I don't want t
