83. Game
Amidst the darkness, Emma felt her skin burn with desire. She was ablaze, her entire body shimmering elation. It wasn’t long after his lips touched hers that she realized how well her body responded to him, despite being away for so many years. All these days, her heart and soul had been in a turmoil, dancing to the tunes of fates that succumbed into a chaotic world. She was on her toes, alert and ready for any curveball life may throw at her.
It wasn’t until she found herself in his arms that she finally got back on her feet, finding her way back to placidity. It was as though he caught her from falling into an endless tunnel, tugging her back up into safety.
Safe.
That’s exactly what she felt right now.

“Well, if I were to be honest, I think that I would have been far safer in his care than yours.”She might as well have driven a sword through his heart when she said that.Jamie couldn’t understand where he had failed for her to believe in such a thing. He could hear the accusation of betrayal in her voice, and he was lost as to why she perceived him to be so evil when all he ever cared about was to protect her. He slowly realized that in her eyes, he was the danger. He was the one that hurt her the most, and unknowingly, he had become the very thing he tried to protect her from.Looking at her like that, he wanted to do something, anything to assure her that what he was thinking was untrue. In fact, it was the farthest thing fro
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 85. The news
It had been a couple of days since that night, and Emma was slowly drifting back into normalcy. Her heart still stung at the bitter reminder of it, but she was growing immune to it slowly. Lately, that was how everything else in her life was turning out to be. Day by day, she was getting accustomed to the fact that this could perhaps be how the rest of her life would span out. Surprise after surprise until nothing got to her anymore.Having awakened early today, she decided to go for a walk to keep her mind off things. As she stepped into the backyard, she noticed that there were numerous men posted outside the house. There were normally five to six men, but today, the number seemed to have increased to at least a double.That was strange. Why the sudden security? Was Jamie worried she would run away after what happened?&
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 86. An end
Jamie simply couldn’t fathom how news about his marriage to Emma could’ve spread so fast.It was only a few days ago that he broke the news to his father who later swore to have only revealed it to his mother. However, as he returned home from town, he was convinced that he had heard the gossip in whispers from plenty of people around. It was evident in the way they regarded him the entire afternoon.The news had also reached his private residence where Emma was currently staying. Rafa had paid her a visit yesterday, and he revealed that she was rather surprised to know of her new title. The Luna.“Oh, now that you’re here.” His father said as he spotted Jamie walking toward his room. Forced to halt, he turned around to regard his fa

“Jamie is here?”Emma said in surprise upon hearing the maid. She had been talking to her colleague when Emma walked in and overheard their conversation. They were talking about changing the dinner menu now that they had another person to serve and before they could complain about it, Emma had interrupted them.“Err… Master Chris is here.” She replied, looking at her with confusion.Chris? Who the hell was that?“He had arrived in the morning and had been working in his office room since then.”Office? Only Jamie had his office room here. Is that who they were referring to? It must be him.“Why wasn’t I
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 88. Drunken words
Jamie chugged his fifth glass of whiskey that night.The bitter taste of the liquid was beginning to soften on his tongue, making his head feel lighter. He struggled to maintain his balance and rested his head on the bar counter.In hopes of finding some peace, he closed his eyes, but images from a few hours ago continued to haunt his mind.Just the mere thought of her angered him. She was an impossible woman to deal with. The more he tried to understand her, the more unpredictable she was becoming. Lately, he felt as though he never knew her. Did he truly get married to a woman he couldn’t understand? When he first met her, she was a simple woman. There were no complexities about her that he went beyond his understanding.They had a sort of
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 89. Anything in the world
He could not understand why that instead of him, it was Emma that was enraged with that question. She had an accusatory hint in her eyes that she struggled to fight, revealing her true feelings after all. In a small voice, she finally said, “Because I was afraid of you.”“Afraid of me?” He said, “Emma, you’re the safest with me!”She shook her head, “No, I’m not.” Tears surfaced in her eyes, “I know the truth, Jamie. You can quit lying.”Lying? What the hell was she talking about? There was clearly something amiss with the situation. He was entirely clueless about what she was referring to. No matter how much it annoyed him, he suppressed his anger and instead remained patient with her.
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 90. What was to come
Emma’s head was spinning. What the hell was happening? How did it all come down to this? As she stared at him in disbelief, pieces began to fall in place. And instead of relief, she felt the pain of regret spread through her body. What the hell had she done? “Your aunt fucking lied to you.” He said, “I found out you were a rogue when I came to your house that day. There was precious evidence about your identity in those files and I knew that I couldn’t let anyone know of it. I tried my best to hide it, but perhaps your aunt and uncle were already aware.” Emma’s eyes welled with tears as she fell to the ground. How cruel did her aunt have to be? How could she imagine doing such a thing? She felt Jamie’s hands cup her cheek as he knelt before her. Tilting her face up, he said, “I knew that there was no way I could protect you from the brother, because at any given time, there are hundreds of people trying to hunt you down.” He said, “And the only way I could stand a chance at prot
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 91. Need
As he dropped her on the bed, his hands eagerly went for the hem of her dress. Pulling her out of it, he sent it flying across the room, leaving her in her black underwear and bra. Climbing onto the bed with her, he pinned her against the headboard as he reached for her lips. Every time his lips touched hers, it felt as though they were reclaiming what always belonged to them. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt this way, and how much she wanted to feel this. She missed him in more ways than one, and she intended to show it to him. If not her words, perhaps her actions could give him the assurance he wanted. And needed. Burying his fingers in the mane of his head, she pulled him closer to her, deepening the kiss. Jamie took the chance to push his tongue into her mouth, letting her relish the taste of him fully. As she nibbled on his mouth, his hands traversed along her hips, all the way to her back, and eventually up to the strap of her bra. Unhooking it with ease, he slipp
