~Emma~After opening the door I was shocked to see Shirley standing in the doorway. "What can I do for you?" I asked, frowning.Shirley entered the room and closed the door, locking it and when she faced me I was shocked because she had been holding a knife in her right hand. I didn't see the knife when she entered the room.Brandishing the sharp knife at my face, she glared and said, "Stay away from Alpha Jett, he is mine! He told me that he had finally found his fated mate which is you. But I don't care if you are his fated mate. He is mine! I will kill you if you try to seduce him and take him away from me. You can't have him! Over my dead body! Do you hear me?"I stepped back. "Whoa, you are so bold to enter my room and threaten my life with a knife."Shirley smiled wickedly, looking every inch like the devil incarnate. "I see... you are scared. That's good! I got my point across to your thick skull. I want you to leave this place next week. Leave or else something bad will happen
~Emma~"My previous healer was Augusta," Alpha Jagger replied."And where is Augusta right now?" I asked."She went back to her village last month to gather powerful medicine to cure my illness and she was supposed to return here but until now she hasn't arrived yet. That's why they took another healer from the Sacred Flame Healer Tribe to cure me. And now you're finally here," he said, smiling brightly, grateful for my presence that saved his life."Who recommends Augusta to your family?" I inquired.Alpha Jagger answered, "It's Shirley, my brother's fiancee, his future wife and Luna. She was chosen as my brother's mate by my parents because until now he hadn't found his fated mate yet."So, Alpha Jett was telling the truth. Shirley was chosen to be his mate not by himself but by his parents."I also haven't found my mate yet," Alpha Jagger said, looking at me deeply, his eyes hinting at something I couldn't quite comprehend."Don't worry, you will find your fated mate soon," I told h
~Emma~I was looking forward to sleeping early tonight and now that Julie has given me the go signal it's only right that I will reap my reward and that is to sleep early. But this possessive guy entered my room uninvited and was trying to flirt with me. He will never give up flirting and teasing me until I give into his charm and temptation.He continued staring at my face, waiting for my reply. Then a brilliant idea flashed in my mind."You can sleep in my room tonight as long as you tell me what happened to my missing cousin Josephine. After you tell me everything, I'm yours body and soul. How about that?" I said, smiling alluringly while gazing into his eyes.Now that I'm done healing the heir to the throne, I'm ready to go home as long as I know what truly happened to my missing cousin.I studied his face. He was hesitant, shaking his head. He had a hard time deciding if he wanted to tell me the truth or not."What? You can't make up your mind?" I said, mocking him. "You are so bo
~Emma~Everyone in the room shifted their attention to me and Alpha Jett.Alpha Jagger motioned me to come to the bed. "Emma, come here," he commanded.I walked towards him and stood beside the bed. "I'm here to check on you, Alpha."Alpha Jagger looked at the woman and introduced me to her. "This is Emma my new healer. She will be my personal healer from now on."The woman protested, "But Alpha, I'm your healer! Why are you replacing me? I came back to cure you," she said in desperation.After hearing the woman speak and connecting the dots together, I finally realized she was Augusta, the previous healer.Augusta looked at me sharply and pointed her hand at me. "What can she do that I can't do?"Alpha Jagger wore a serious expression on his face while addressing his former healer. "For your information, Emma cured me in just a few hours of attending to me. She managed to kick out the dark spirit lurking in this room that gave me nightmares every night. All the things she did, you fai
~Emma~As Augusta and I got deeper into the woods, I was thinking about what punishment I would do to the royal family if they were involved in my cousin's disappearance.I looked at Augusta. She was acting like a robot. She kept moving, ignoring me completely."Where are we going? We are heading far away from the mansion," I told her.Augusta didn't reply to my question, instead she kept moving on."Can you answer me, Augusta?" I demanded.She looked at me annoyed. "Just follow me. Stop chattering!""Fine. But who are these people who threw my cousin's body into the well?" I asked wanting to know who they are. I want to prepare myself for the confrontation that will occur after I return to the mansion."The three royal brothers, Alpha Jett, Alpha Jagger and Alpha Jayden," Augusta replied in a serious tone.My heart skipped a beat. My hands formed into fists at my sides. I felt enraged and shocked by Augusta's revelation. Anger spread through my body quickly. The fire of destruction wa
~Emma~"I'm here to apologize for leaving you in the woods," Augusta said. "Can I enter your room so we can talk privately?"I shook my head. "No. Let's just talk here," I said and closed the door behind me.We stood outside the door, staring at each other."Alright, as you wish." Augusta leaned against the wall, facing me. Her brown curly hair framed her face."What do you want from me?" I asked. "Alpha Jett followed me to the forest and told me that the one who died in the well was a maid who committed suicide because her lover left her for another woman. Is that true?"Augusta smirked. "You really like him. You believed him so much.""Just answer my question!" I said in an irate tone.Augusta shrugged. "The tale of the servant girl was indeed true and what happened to your cousin is also another matter. Instead of doubting my words, why don't you go back to the old well and find out how many skeletons are lying in the bottom so you will get your answer? You can't do it, right? Becau
~Emma~Oscar's turned silent and avoided my gaze for a few seconds. Then he looked me straight in the eyes. "I was also confused about why she disappeared. I want to know why. On the day she stopped coming here in the garden, that is when I noticed something went wrong with her."I released the breath I've been keeping inside me. The suspense is intense I thought I'm gonna get answer from the gardener but it turn out he had no idea what happened to Josephine as well. Such a bummer!"Does she always come here in the garden every day?" I pressed further, not wanting to give up yet."Yeah. When she is not busy with her healer duties she always comes here either in the morning or afternoon to enjoy the flowers and she never fails to say hello to me. She is a cheerful woman, good and kind. It's a joy to see and talk to her every day," Carlos elaborated further.I stared at the red rose a few meters away from where I stand. What now?Then I suddenly remembered what Augusta told me that my co
~Emma~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~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
