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

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,

Jamie didn’t realize that he stopped breathing until she spoke. His eyes could hardly believe what he was seeing, utterly sure that he was mistaken. However, when she finally said his name, a name only she knew, he realized that it was indeed her. It was Emma. His mate. His mate who left him two months ago, and whom he thought he would never lay his eyes on. She came back to him again in the most unexpected circumstances. Not a single day passed by without Jamie wishing for this day, but as he finally found her, lying mere inches from him, his mind went blank. He couldn’t form a thought. He couldn’t think about anything. All he could do was stare in bewilderment, as though the moment his eyes left her figure, she would vanish into the thin air. His mind traveled to that day in the hotel as he stood at the end of the aisle, watching her walk toward him. He could vividly remember her in her white dress and how she had allowed him to place a ring on her finger that evening, without

What a strange twist of fate it was. Falling into the lap of the man she meant to leave behind forever must have ripped the rug from under her feet. Jamie just couldn’t accept the odds of it. He was finally coming to terms with her absence in his life, he was finally realizing it might be over forever, and right then she appears out of the blue, pumping some hope back into him. What plot had the universe orchestrated for the two of them? Was this its way of conveying that no matter how hard one tried, they couldn’t go against the plan of nature? And that despite any efforts, what is meant to be will always prevail. It wasn’t the first time that Emma threatened to be separated from him, and like every other time, she found her way back to him in the end. He became the savior she would always need. Did that mean there was still scope for them to go back to the way they were? To go back to being the married couple they were meant to be? To go back to being the soulmates they were dest

Jamie pushed open the large stone door to the dungeon. Making his way down the stairs, Jamie looked focussed on the growing cries of Emma’s. It seemed to him that she was in pain, crying out for help. The thought confused him. What was happening? For a moment, he was glad that there were no other captives in the dungeon at the moment, for it would’ve been rather difficult to handle her along with them. As he walked toward her cell, she noticed that she was surrounded by his men. As he moved past them, he watched how one of them whipped a rope and thrashed it against her back. His eyes widened as he watched her cry out in pain, her dress tearing open in the back to reveal her bleeding skin underneath. Anger rose cruised through his veins at the sight and he felt as though he would burst any moment now. Finding his voice, he said in a cold tone, “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” The man, Peter was his name, whirled around in surprise. He frowned at him in confusion, nonethe

Jamie’s eyes roamed over the document in front of him, the context of it failing to reach his mind. He was barely present in the moment, for his thoughts were being plagued by the past. No matter what, he couldn’t seem to get his shit together. A constant worry loomed over his figure, demanding his full attention.He closed the document with a sigh, realizing that there was no way he would be productive like this. Unless he solves the mystery at hand, he won’t be at peace.“Rafa!” He yelled, gripping his forehead. A sudden pounding had begun within, and Jamie realized he could not sustain long without rest.The door opened and in came a tall, lanky man. It looked as though he had just awoken from sleep. “Yes?”

Emma woke up with a jerk as the doors of the dungeon closed shut. As she blinked, the vision before her cleared to reveal a man coming toward her. She thought she had seen him before, but she wasn’t sure. He was surely one of Jamie’s men, and most likely, he was here to punish her like the rest of them.When the man approached her inside her cell, Emma was taken aback from the smirk of his face. Unlike other men, he didn’t regard her with disgust or anger. Instead, he seemed to be amused by something, and she couldn’t fathom what about her situation he found funny.“So you’re the one, huh?” He asked, arms crossed in front of him. “Who has been giving our boss sleepless nights.”Emma frowned at him.

“You found who?” Tom’s voice boomed in the hall as Jamie dropped the news on him like a bombshell.Tom had arrived in the morning and had been busy ever since. As it was his father who had invited him, Jamie couldn’t demand for his time at his leisure. It wasn’t until evening that the two of them made time for each other and retired for a glass of whisky. As they poured their second drink for the evening, Jamie started speaking of the brutal turn his life had taken in the past one week.Jamie sighed, nodding in dismay. “You heard me.”“I’m sorry, but let’s go back a few steps.” Tom said, putting his hands up in confusion. “You’re saying you found Emma?”&

The Wolf Hunter's Mate 117. The better man
Emma released a strangled cry as he neared her. Inching backwards, she tried to get up on her feet and get away from him, but she couldn’t. Before she could do so much as raise up on her feet, he kicked her down, stamping his foot on her chest. Crouching down, he held her hands and pinned them to the ground, rendering her immobile. She widened her eyes as he inched his face closer to her, feeling completely helpless within the confines of his body. “Let me go!” She screamed, eyes filled with fear. “Please!” “You deserve to die in my hands, just like that bastard that tried to take away my daughter.” He said, “These hands have killed so many of you, you think you will be spared my mercy? Never. I’d rather die than let you go.”Raising his knife, he angled it right above her abdomen. Emma’s eyes widened in surprise as she realized what he was doing. Her baby.. No! He couldn’t do that to her baby. “The venom in your body..” He said, “It’s supposed to kill your ability to shift into yo
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 116. Last wishes
Emma released a tearless sob as pushed the flush button on her commode. Leaning back onto her heels, Emma sat down on the bathroom floor as her head began to spin. It was the third time in a row today that she was retching in the bathroom, emptying all of her stomach’s content. She had no clue why she fell so sick suddenly that she couldn’t even keep a glass of water inside her. It was perhaps due to the stress that she’s been experiencing lately, which only aggravated as Jamie left her alone there.She felt her body burn as beads of sweat collected on her forehead. Wiping it off, she slowly reached for the wall for support and brought herself to stand on her feet. Although wobbly, she made her way to the basin and ran the tap, splashing some water on her tired face. As she looked into the mirror, she realized that she looked hideous. Dark circles covered the skin under her eyes as her face shrunk to reveal her bones. She looked visibly dehydrated, in desperate need of help and rest.
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 115. On your side
The emotion within Jamie swirled in all its fury, growing so magnanimous that he struggled to contain it within himself. He felt himself shake, growing suffocated with each passing second. He could no longer stay in the room. His feet took him away from his mother, going to the window. As he reached it, he swung them open and shoved his head out, reeling in a deep breath. He felt beads of sweat trickle down his forehead and along the tip of his cold nose. She felt a touch on his shoulder then, urging him to turn around but he resisted. “Jamie, please.” His mother sobbed, “Look at me.” “Get out of here.” He said in a low voice. “Jamie…” “I don't want to look at you.” He said, whirling around. “You and your husband, what a fucked up pair you are. One kills his own child and the other covers for him. That was bloody loyal of you, mother.” “What else was I supposed to do?” She cried, “If I had revealed the truth to you, he would’ve killed me too.” Jamie scoffed, looking away. There
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 114. A hidden truth
Jamie could hardly get the scenes of that afternoon out of his mind. Any lingering hope he had regarding his father instantly diminished as he realized up to what extent he was willing to go to keep the aims of the brotherhood fulfilled. As he rolled on his bed, he realized that perhaps he made a mistake coming here, for he could now see the true nature of his father. At least if he was away, he could have found comfort in the misbelief that his father was a good man, a man who had the heart to at least spare some mercy on an unborn child. But now, he was facing the dark reality he would prefer to have avoided. He didn’t need to know that his father had zero regard for what Jamie wanted and cherished. His aim was more important to him than Jamie’s happiness, and if it meant killing his wife and child for it, then so be it. “You cannot let a rogue carry your child, Jamie. How could you have made that mistake?” His father had said that afternoon. “She is my wife.” He said. “That is
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 113. Move his heart
The tension in the air was palpable, making Jamie remain alert to every small movement. The familiar scent of wood and musk was hardly making him feel at home, rather, he felt out of place. Although it had been a mere few days since he was last at this place, it felt like an eternity ago, merely in the wake of everything that had happened in the past few days. Jamie shoved his hands into his pants pockets as he looked over the view from the window, watching over the people that roamed around in their backyard. Nothing was out of the ordinary, but it felt so different to his people once again. When he first arrived at his father’s house, he was greeted by the same people he once assumed to be his loyal friends. Just in a matter of a week, they revealed their true colors and proved to him that they would always remain loyal to the pack and its leadership. He knew he couldn’t blame them, for they were merely doing their job, but he couldn’t help the distaste he’s developed against them
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 112. I'll come back for you
Goodbyes were never easy. There was seldom anything good about your loved one leaving you. Whether it was to reach better places or to go back to fix things in the past, a departure always came with a possibility that the distance they’re going to create between them might be permanent. A harmless journey once took her entire family away from her, and she had no reason to believe that it might never happen again.As Emma watched him pull the zipper of his bag close, she realized that it was time. When he first broke the news that he would be going back home to settle things with his father, she was elated. It was precisely what she wanted him to do and she was glad he made up his mind without her having to reopen the conversation. However, as the night progressed, the reality of it sank in, a new fear creeped inside her. She struggled to accept that he was going to come back to her within a few days as promised, and instead, her mind tried its best to convince her that nothing in her
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 111. His world
“How are things faring?” Jamie said as he overlooked the lush greens of the mountain top. He had just stepped out to have a word with Rafa while Emma got busy with preparing dinner for the two. After reaching their new house, the two of them were occupied with cleaning it and making it comfortable for use for a few days. Since it was rather cold than at home, Jamie had to step out into the forest to find some wood for the fire. After it was all set up, Jamie received a message from Rafa that things have calmed down and that he could reach him whenever he pleased. Jamie instantly stepped out as he was eager to know what happened. “It was alright.” Rafa replied, “The men have arrived a few minutes after you have left and were surprised that we have managed to get you out of here. We tried to sell them some bullshit, but they obviously didn’t fall for it. They could understand that we planned your escape, but that was about it. They couldn’t do anything more than that. However, I did s
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 110. Run
As the night progressed, Emma lost track of time. Jamie refused to give in to her demands, yet kept her in a constant high throughout. Sparing no mercy for her desperation, he had his way with her, and by the end of it, they both collapsed on the bed. The last memory she had was of Jamie pulling her back against his chest, burying his face in her neck as he whispered to her, “I love you.”She fell into a peaceful slumber after that, chasing her dreams in the darkness. When she was next transported back into reality, she jolted awake to the someone banging on the door. She woke up with a gasp, looking at Jamie who had just risen up. Pushing the duvet off his body, he quickly donned his shorts and headed to the door. Light flooded into their room as he opened the door and the person on the other side started speaking. Emma remained submerged under the duvet and closely watched them, trying to listen to their words. However, she could barely make out anything and only deduced that ther
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 109. Worthwhile
“Sleeping without me?” He asked as he pulled his shirt over his head, revealing his bare skin underneath. Emma watched as he proceeded to unhook his pants next, pulling them down his legs, “I thought you were avoiding me.” “I was.” He said as he climbed into the bed and then onto her. Careful not to crush her under his weight, he pulled her legs apart and wrapped it on either side of his hips. Leaning down, he stole a kiss from her lips. “I’m sorry,” She said, “It was not my intention to-” “I know what your intention was,” He said, cutting her off with his lips, “And I’m not angry with you.” “Then why didn’t you come up to meet me?” “I was busy with something else,” He said, “And I needed some time to contemplate what you said.” Emma looked up at him in puzzlement, awaiting him to elaborate. He rolled beside her and pulled him along so that she could be sprawled across his body. Resting her head atop of his shoulder, he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I realized that y
