16. The least I could do
Emma was silent the entire ride to her new home.
Knowing he was demanding too much of her at the moment, Jamie remained silent too. Although he hated putting her in this position, a little part of him couldn’t help but rejoice that he would now have her in his vicinity. He would no longer need any pathetic excuse to see her in the bar or constantly think about her safety. Keeping her close was definitely a decision that arose out of pure concern for her wellbeing, but there must have been a selfish part of him that craved her presence in his life.
Jamie was reluctant to address his growing feelings for her as much as he thought it important to kill them. A week ago when he realized that she was his chosen one, he thought it would be easy to dismiss what he felt for her for he prioritized his mission over anything in life.

Emma rushed to close the door as she heard footsteps approaching her. Stepping away from it, she took a seat on the mattress and pretended to be busy with her phone. After several seconds, when the door to her room still didn’t open, she let out a sigh of relief. Jamie wasn’t coming to her, after all.Propelling back on the bed, she stared at the roof in wonder. She couldn’t ignore the conversation she’d overheard between the two friends outside. A funny feeling tugged at her heart, making her question if she indeed realized that Jamie cared about her more than he let on or if she was simply imagining things.If Jamie was truly the beast that she imagined him to be, he would not have come to her rescue last night. He felt responsible for her, and it was the first time any man ever did so much as ca
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 18. Woman in distress
Emma wiped her tears away in an attempt to console herself. Clearing her throat, she was just about to speak up when his voice reached her.“Emma.” He said in a strict tone, like a parent to a child. “Open the fucking door.”“Go away, Jamie.” She said through a broken voice, “I want to be alone.”For a few seconds, all she heard was silence. She was grateful that he listened to her for once and heaved a sigh of relief. However, it was cut short when she felt another knock on the door. The knocks traveled down the entire surface of the door from above downwards. When it reached her back, the resonance turned dull, and he ceased his movement at once.
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 19. Like you always do
The next morning when Emma woke up, Jamie was already preparing himself for a busy day. Having spent the entirety of last night working, he had little energy interacting with her when she waved him a hi in the kitchen. He was just mentally calculating what his day was going to be like when he spotted her, and caught up in his own thoughts, all he could offer to her in kindness was a nod of acknowledgement.Although she was beginning to get more tolerable than most people he interacted with, he wished she would leave him alone at least this morning. He had an important meeting coming up and he wanted his focus to be fixed only on that.“Any news about my job?” She asked, leaning onto the counter top.He ignored how she lazily rubbed the sleep off
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 20. It's settled then
Jamie punched the elevator button as he came to stop in front of it.Every time he met his parents, he realized why it was that he preferred to stay away from home. Six years ago, their lives had changed for ever, and none of them ever remained the same. As time progressed, they grew further apart from each other, emotionally more so than physically. His parents were still together, but he doubted their love for each other persisted. His mother was clearly unhappy with how things were in the family, and oftentimes, Jamie suspected that she felt the most lonely.His father took care of all the pack matters and kept her away from duties, for she wasn’t capable of separating emotion from any situation. Owing to this lack of competence, Maria only had time for herself and no idea how to spend it. Perhaps if she had better things to worry about, sh
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 21. Werewolves and Humans
Although it has been only two days since Jamie promised to find her a position at the Plaza, Emma was growing rather impatient. Her heart was refusing to rest from all the anxious beating, awaiting some good news just as she was. Much to her dismay, Jamie scarcely gave her any time these past couple of days. He left before she woke up and would only return when she was fast asleep.Jamie was a rather reserved person in general, but lately, it looked like he was making extra effort to avoid encountering her. If she didn’t know better, she would have assumed that he was doing it on purpose. The thought crossed her mind several times now, but she always turned her suspicion down by wondering why he would possibly want to ignore her when it was himself that proposed her to live with him. It was only his busy schedule that was to be blamed and nothing else.

The credits were rolling on the TV screen as the front door unlocked. Emma was drifting back from her sleep when Jamie’s face emerged before her, making her blink a couple of times to confirm it was indeed him.“Hey,” She said, her voice groggy, as she sat up on the couch.“You have a room to sleep in.” He said as he turned around to get rid of his shoes.”I was waiting for you, I didn’t mean to fall asleep.” She said, rubbing her eyes.He turned around to eye her with curiosity, “Why?” He said, as he walked to her in slow steps.Shrugging her shoulders, she looked up at him, “Well, about my job of course.”

”Emma, calm down!” Elena exclaimed into the phone, “What did you do?”“I did…” Emma clasped her eyes shut, “Ugh, what was I thinking?”“Emma, tell me what happened. You’re worrying me.” Elena said in a serious tone, as though she was a mother looking to discipline her child.Emma reeled in a deep breath, “I kissed Jamie.”For a few seconds, she was only greeted with silence on the other end. “You did what?”“Yes.” Emma said, “I k
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 24. A tangled mess
Tangled in the mess of his conflicting thoughts and actions, Jamie spent a difficult night in the abyss of his room.Despite being a man who lived by his principles, he was alarmed to know how things were changing within him, all because of a woman. When he heard ancient lores of werewolves and their beloved mates, he had believed them to be superstitions that were greatly exaggerated.He didn’t believe in the traditional norms, and nor did he think he would fall prey to them eventually. After seeing little victory in his battle against his growing affection to Emma, he realized that the stories he heard growing up, the legend of which still reigned their lives, were not merely exaggerations but most definitely the truth. The bonding between mates was too strong a force to resist, even for a man with great resolve.&
