The Wolf Hunter's Mate 63. Not even a mate
For a moment, all Emma could think of was the first time she met him. She could remember that day vividly in her head, for that day had been unlike any other. It was so because it was very rare, almost impossible, for a man to catch her eye. She had always been one to prioritize other pressing issues in her life over romantic pursuits, and even that day, she wanted to honor her principles more than anything, but she failed. Within minutes of speaking with him, she realized that Jamie was a special man, and there was something about him that pulled her to him. Over the next few days, their connection only deepened and grew stronger. And before she could realize, she was falling in love with him. And today, just mere hours ago, she tied the knot, vowing to spend the rest of her life with him. No where in the journey had she sensed any threat from him, nor any danger. In contrast, she felt the safest when she was with him. It was him that saved her life from those two men in the fores
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 64. An old account
She saw with her own eyes how seriously Jamie takes his work, so much so that he refused to reveal any details pertaining to work. The only few times she could manage to get things out of him was only after a fight, where he had no option but to speak. Because she knew that, she also didn’t struggle to believe that Jamie would do anything for the brotherhood. But taking her life? Would he ever go to such an extent? “He loves me.” She said, whispering to herself, “He is my mate. We are meant to be together. He would never kill someone he loves!” “You poor thing,” Agatha clicked her tongue, “When will you realize that irrespective of how much he loves you, he will only do what serves the purpose of the brotherhood? And to the brotherhood, you are merely a rogue wolf that has no right to live amongst them.” Despite the churning in her chest, a belief lingered in her heart. It was a small one, fragile at that, but it was resilient. Despite what her mind thought, it believed that Jamie
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 65. Dear Jamie
Emma watched the city move away from her in a distance, growing smaller and smaller with every passing second. The bus she was traveling in was surprisingly full in such an odd hour, but yet, she felt lonely within. Hugging her bag to her chest, Emma felt hot tears emerge within her eyes, threatening to spill over. “Are you okay, child?” Asked the old lady that sat beside her, eyeing her with concern. Shaking her head, Emma looked away from her, looking out the window, “I’m okay.” It was evident from her voice alone that she wasn’t, but the old woman didn’t probe further. Biting her lower lip, Emma held back her sob. If someone told her a day ago that it would only take twenty four hours to wreck her entire life apart, she would’ve laughed at them. And yet, here she was, on a bus that would take her away to a far away land where nobody would find her. Where Jamie would never find her. Her heart constricted upon the thought of him, and it stung the same way it had when lost her p
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 66. Open up
Emma jolted awake from her sleep at the sound of a door shutting with a bang.Grasping for breath, she sat up straight with widened eyes. Her throat had gone dry from all the panting she had endured during her sleep, and her mind was still gripped with fear. Enduring nightmares had become a common thing for her by now, but she couldn’t grow immune to them. If anything, things had only gotten worse and worse for her. Every night it was a different dream, different struggle yet from the same person. Swiping the sweat off her forehead, she pushed the thin, sorry excuse for a blanket away from her body. Sighing, she ran her eyes over the tiny room she was sleeping in, at the top of which lay an uncovered vent. The winter had begun and it was showing no mercy whatsoever. By itself, the thin walled room barely shielded her from the growing cold outside, and having no heater only made it worse. As if that wasn’t enough, the glass shield of the vent had broken, allowing air to easily slip in
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 67. Wrath of a beast
Filled with Apprehension, Emma clasped her eyes shut, hoping that her ignorance will drive him away. But it didn’t. If anything, her silence only seemed to anger him more, for he began banging at the door now. He was a powerful man, but he rarely resorted to violence. Hence, Emma always thought that she had no reason to fear that he would ever be aggressive with her, but the way her room door was threatening to break open, it was possible her worst fear would come true. Scrambling to her feet, Emma looked around frantically. There was only her bag and her cot at her disposal, and she could seem to find anything else that she could use for her defense.Desperate, she took her bag and held it against her chest, hoping that it would provide some sort of defense. “Are you bloody deaf, woman?” He growled, “Do you not hear me?” Grimacing, Emma cried, “What do you want from me?”“Oh, so you are alive.” He said, “Then what’s the problem? Open the damn door.” “No, I won’t! I’d like to be
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 68. Patrol
The moon remained her lone companion as Emma ran into the wilderness. Clutching the straps of her bag hanging down her shoulder, she hurried deeper into the forest for as long as her legs permitted. It was the last place anybody could find her, and for tonight, the forest would be her home. As she finally stopped by a huge rock that shielded her from the view of the rest of the forest, she realized how utterly exhausted she was. Collapsing onto the floor, she reeled in deep breaths to nullify her rapid ventilation. As her heart calmed down, Emma glanced around her surroundings. While the moonlight shone through the canopy, it was still dark for her eyes to make out anything. Apart from the noise of some insects, the atmosphere around her was filled with deathly silence. She could hear her own pulse raging, trying to suppress the adrenaline that coursed through her body. Although out in the wild, Emma finally felt safe. Despite having a roof under her head all these days, she was nev
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 69. Dungeon
“Are you still with us?” Jamie’s eyes snapped upward as he heard Anthony’s voice. Eyeing his father with some guilt, he sat up straight and gave him his attention once again, “I’m sorry, you were saying?”“I just asked you what you think of her?” He repeated, exchanging quiet looks with his wife who was seated beside him. Jamie sighed. This was the fourth match his parents had got for him ever since he came back to Ormel. Their desperation for an heir was growing day by day, and with the two forces combined against him, Jamie hardly stood a chance. Being their only progeny didn’t help his chances either, for they were constantly behind him to dictate his life, help him find a woman that would keep him happy. Jamie often wondered if it was this very reason that kept him away from home for so many days. He knew how overbearing his parents were and that after a certain point, he couldn’t do anything to fight them. Sometimes, their attempts at setting him up with someone would be so b
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 70. The odds
Emma watched as thick, red blood oozed out of her nose, dripping onto the floor beneath her. She felt an excruciating pain raise up her legs all the way to the pit of her stomach as she tried to steady herself, pushing herself off the ground. Gaining momentary strength, she managed to sit up, but soon after, she felt another blow coming at her face. This time, her head flew to the wall behind, colliding with her forehead. “Ah!” Emma cried in pain as an intense pain gripped her head, making her dizzy. Emma could see her eyes blur, the gray stone beneath her body turning. In reflex, Emma tried to shield her body with her limbs, but she couldn’t. Her wrists weighed down with iron cuffs, chained down to either of the walls beside her. Staring at her attire, she found her dress to be stained with blood and dirt. It was drawn up to her knees, from where her skin was littered with various cuts. Tears pricked at her eyes as she tried to find her voice, desperate for another cry for help,
