2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as Emma recognised him, her first instinct was to close the door shut and flee the place. But Jamie was much too swift. Before she could as much as take a step back, Jamie appeared before her, yanking her into the room before closing the door behind her.
“Where are you trying to escape?” He hissed before he took possession of her wrists and pinned them behind her. Pressing his body against her, he pushed backwards on the door, trapping her.
“What the hell are you doing here?” She screamed, trying to fight off his hold on her.
In any other circumstance, she would’ve easily gotten herself free. She was stronger than most men she encountered in her life, thanks to her supernatural abilities. But she stood no chance against

The Wolf Hunter's Mate 9. What was his
To say his mate was an infuriating woman would be an understatement.Nobody ever stuck up to him the way she did, even after realizing how dangerous he could be. She had to be daft to be picking a bone with him, for she had no reason to be that courageous. Or did she?When he first saw her, he assumed her to be like every other woman that fancied him. Shallow and timid. Jamie wished that she was a weak woman who could be easier for him to hate and eventually forget, but Emma was proving to be anything but that. She was a woman who knew how to stand up for herself in the face of adversity and be the perfect companion to a man like Jamie.Jamie clasped his eyes shut and groaned. Noticing his behavior, Tom threw him a careful glance. “What’s with you?&rd
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 10. Danger lurking
When the last of the boxes were delivered safely into the living room, Emma finally took a breather. Propelling herself onto the cushion of her new flat, she closed her eyes for a few seconds, trying to regain the strength she’d lost in carrying up the giant boxes to the first floor.When Elena agreed to let her move in, she didn’t waste any more time lurking in her apartment. Although she had a few more days on her lease, she didn’t feel safe to live in a house that gave easy access to werewolves. Emma’s apartment would be no different, she knew, but she counted on the fact that her new company would ward off any evil plan Jamie might be plotting against her. After all, he wouldn’t risk exposing himself to another person.When Elena opened her eyes, she couldn’t help but groan at the h

“Jamie?” She said in disbelief. “What are you doing here?”Annoyance surfaced on his features as he stepped closer toward her. With his torso pressing against the counter, he leaned in so he could rest his forearms on the counter before his eyes arrested hers. “Who was that, Emma?”She frowned, momentarily intimidated by his intensity. Although she had no reason to feel that way, she felt as if she was caught doing something illegal. “Who?”“The guy who just tried to get into your pants.”Her mouth fell open. The audacity he had!“He didn’t try to-“ S
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 12. Best shot
When it was past midnight, the alarm in Elena’s mind went off.Her best friend and roommate was not answering her calls nor was she texting her back. The last she heard of her was in the afternoon after her lunch, when she told her that she would be headed home right after work. This was very unusual of her, as Emma always made it a point to inform her whenever her plans changed or she was running late.Something was not right, she knew it. But what were her options right now? She didn’t have her boss’ contact number. Any friends Emma had were Elena’s, and she wouldn’t hangout with them by herself without the latter, so there was no question of calling anybody else. Elena’s best shot would be to go out and inquire, but it was not safe for her to do so yet. But did she have a choice? Her
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 13. Ring a bell?
The crackling noise of the fire filled the cold air around Emma as her mind slowly drifted back into reality. As she straightened her head, an acute pain shot up her neck, making her wince. However, as she took notice of her surroundings she realized that it was the last thing she should be worrying about.Emma panicked as she found her arms not by her side but wrapped around a tree trunk behind her, with a thick rope running all over her body and tied around the wrist. She tried to fight through its confines but to her dismay, she had little luck in escaping. Before she could try again, she felt footsteps approaching her from her right. Stilling in her position, she whipped her head to find a couple of men walking toward her.“Took you long enough.” One of them said as he came to stand before her.
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 14. I don't know
Within minutes, the ties around her hands were loosened and her body was finally set free. Air rushed into her lungs like never before and she fell to the ground in exhaustion. She watched as the bruises around her wrists vanished under the dim light, taking away the physical pain caused by it.She instinctively looked at the two men that put her in this position, and somehow, watching them lay lifeless on the ground didn’t make her feel any better. If anything, she felt sick knowing she was the reason they were dead.She felt Jamie’s hands on her shoulder then, demanding her attention. As she looked up, she found his eyes running over her face in angst and she thought she detected new found concern in them.“Jesus, look at you.” He said,
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 15. Don’t be difficult
Elena’s eyes were still sealed with sleep when she opened the front door. She couldn’t remember when she managed to fall asleep on the couch while awaiting for any news about her friend, but surely seeing her in person sprung her back into reality. Widening her eyes in surprise, she had to blink a couple of times in order to confirm what she was seeing was indeed true. Emma was looking at her with a relieved smile, with Jamie standing behind her. “Emma!” She cried before pulling her friend in for a hug. Elena felt her friend’s arms around her in response, clinging onto her like she would be taken away from her yet again. Her eyes inevitably found Jamie’s, and a silent note of gratitude relayed between the both. As promised, he brought her friend home in one piece, reinstating her belief that she was right in trusting him. “Thank God you’re alright!” She said as they pulled away from each other. “Are you okay?” “I am.” Emma nodded vehemently, “He saved me right in time.” “Did
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 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 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

“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
