50. A deadline
Much to her dismay, when Emma’s eyes fluttered open after a well rested nap, she found the spot beside her empty. She felt a disappointment instantly fill her chest as her eyes found no trace of Jamie inside the room, nor could she hear his presence in the bathroom. When she got up to look for him on the balcony, she found a small note on the desk by the side of the bed.
‘I’ll be back by 8. Order food in if you’re hungry but don’t step out. Call me if you need anything.’
Emma rolled her eyes at his message which reminded her of her middle school principal’s notice. Direct, demanding with zero sense of politeness. That was Jamie in a nutshell.
How was she going to survive the next two hours locked inside the bedroom? She could attempt to sneak out, but Emma

Emma felt her heart thumping against her chest as she walked.Although the source of her comfort was standing right beside her, she abruptly grew immune to Jamie’s presence. As she walked the familiar path to her former home, she felt the anxiousness creep back into her. The last time she was on this street, she had just been kicked out of her own house and was unaware where to go.She didn’t think she would last longer than a week on the streets, but she remained resilient and she survived. Growing up, she never imagined she would have to face such a plight in her life. She always thought the rest of her life would be uneventful yet happy, ordinary but stable, dull yet full of life.But now, all she saw in that house was dark memories she would
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 52. A cruel reality
Temporarily, it felt as though Jamie’s brain couldn’t function.The biggest truth of his life was lying in front of him, glaring at him in an obvious sense, yet he couldn’t wrap his head around it. Simply, he didn’t have the courage to believe it. He wasn’t ready to accept the truth, but deep down, he knew that that was the reality.The papers he held in his trembling hands gave him the answer to the question that was haunting him for days. He spent countless nights wondering who Blake was, and the answer came to him finally. He found it within the text of the letters he held, but he hardly rejoiced at the fact. In fact, he dreaded it. So much so, that he wished he had never learnt it.Because, out of all the people in the world, he
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 53. Madly in love
“Emma is the rogue we’re supposed to kill?” Tom shrieked in horror.Jamie clutched his head, nodding begrudgingly. He felt just as clueless as he did a few hours ago.“Where is she now?”“Sleeping upstairs.”“You mean she’s still alive? Why didn’t you kill her yet?”Jamie narrowed his eyes in distress, “What?”“Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? She’s our enemy.”“She’s also my mate.
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 54. A dark abyss
The journey back home seemed longer than it had been. While Emma, having caught very little sleep last night, fell asleep on his shoulder shortly after the bus journey began, Jamie couldn’t find any similar peace. His eyes were constantly on the lookout for any threat, any man who would come out of nowhere to harm her, take her away from him. He didn’t want to take even the smallest of risks when it came to her safety. It was only then that he realized that he couldn’t always be around to take care of her. If he meant to keep her safe, he had to find a way where he could ensure her well being even when she was alone and completely defenseless. Such a thing would only be possible if he removed the root of the problem, and he knew that it was an impossible task. Few of the most aggressive and strong werewolves were after her species, and they won't rest until they’ve found her. One thing he could do was try his best to cover her image. So long as the papers existed, and were within r
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 55. Overwhelmed
Jamie watched as her eyes went wide. Staring at him with utter disbelief, she remained mute. Finally, a small scoff left her, her face twisting into an incredulous smile. “You’re joking.” Jamie maintained his composure as he regarded her. Keeping his voice calm and steady, he said, “I’m not.” Jamie almost felt sorry for her as he watched her visibly struggle. All of this was going at a speed of a lightening. No sooner had they started dating that they confessed their love for eachother, and now, before he could let the love grow and take it’s natural course, he was asking her hand in marriage. This was not how he planned his life, much less his romantic life, but desperate circumstances were demanding too much of him. He might be losing a part of himself in the process, but he knew this was all for a reason. If Jamie wasn’t so convinced that only by becoming his wife would her life be saved from the brotherhood, he would never have put such a huge decision on her head. After an e
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 56. All mine
Emma watched her reflection in the mirror with contentment. She was wearing a knee length white dress with hand-embroidery adorned with pearls on the hems. Lacking any sleeves, the bodice was suspended on her body with thin straps on her shoulder, allowing her skin to glisten under the evening sunlight. She decided to let her hair loose, the way Jamie preferred it, and only curled the very ends of it. Although she wore minimal make up, with a tint of blush on her rosy cheeks and pink lipgloss to adorn her plump lips, she looked beautiful. Her love for her fiance had never been more apparent and it shone in her eyes like a star in the sky. She wore a pair of long pearl earrings that her mother gifted to her for her seventeenth birthday, making her feel as though her mother was here to share her special day. Despite the exquisite yet simple jewelry, her smile was definitely the most beautiful thing she wore that day, for it had been carefree, genuine and full of newfound love.Elena c
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 57. The beginning
When Emma walked into the venue, it was hardly like how she imagined it to be. It was a small room in the hotel that they were staying at, with two eyewitnesses and one minister to officiate the ceremony. Jamie was speaking to his best man when Emma stepped inside, her presence barely catching his attention. He was dressed in a black suit himself, his classic frown adorning his face. Emma watched his face for any sign of anxiousness, trying to read if he was having second doubts about this, but as always, his face gave away nothing. As for her, her heart just wouldn’t stop racing against her ribs, pumping with so much vigor that she could almost hear her pulse. Her palms had gone sweaty, trembling by her sides as she awaited to take the next significant step of her life. She was moments away from entering a new phase of her life, mere steps away from attaining a new role. She would no longer be that woman that was fighting a lone battle. She would become Jamie’s wife and take on new
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 58. Do you trust me?
After the four of us shared a glass of champagne, it was finally time to head back into the hotel room that Jamie booked for them to spend their first night as a married couple. Emma’s nervousness through the roof, for she had no idea of what to expect. She was rather excited for it, and even went the extra mile to wear a tempting lingerie set underneath her white dress. She wanted Jamie to swoon over her body tonight and had taken right about every possible measure to ensure that. All that was left was to get him into that room quickly. As Jamie was signing off on some official documents, Emma yawned loudly. Flickering his eyes toward her, they narrowed. “Tired?” “Yeah.”“Why don’t you go upstairs then? I’ll be right there.” Emma sighed, “No, I’ll wait for you here.”If she left him alone, she was sure that he would take ages to come back up. He was a busy man who could be easily distracted with work, so she had to ensure he came back up with her. Seeing her waiting for him will
