James's POV
The wine tasted so good that I unwittingly fell asleep on top of the barrel. Damn. I tried desperately to move, but my head was too dizzy from the alcohol, and I never thought I could sleep on the barrel like this. Honestly, as an Alpha, this is somewhat pathetic. In my entire life, I have never acted like such a coward.
My heart pounded so fast, and panic overcame me when the door suddenly opened. However, when I saw Emily appear, I let out a long sigh of relief. At least, it wasn't someone else; I didn't want my pack members to see me in this position.
"Hard to get out of there? You should have called me, Honey. Luckily, I have powers far stronger, so I could sense how you were trapped in this ridiculous predicament."
Emily approached me, and I didn't say anything. I couldn't dismiss her because my current situation required assistance from someone else to get out of this wine storage.
