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

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

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

Wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead, he looked into her deep blue eyes. She seemed angelic in his eyes as always, and for a brief moment he realized how there couldn’t possibly be anything she could do that would end his love for her. Every sin she committed was already forgiven. Simply, he did not possess the power to ever get over her. She mattered the most to him, and after knowing how it felt to completely lose, his attachment to her only grew stronger. “Jamie?” She asked, a small knot forming at the bridge of her nose.Realizing that he had stopped moving, he slowly thrust back into her, earning a groan from her. There was nothing more he enjoyed than being inside her, claiming her back to being his. He loved watching her moan, completely lost in the sexual bliss only he could give her. It was that very moment that she would completely surrender herself to him, letting go of every vulnerability and guard. It was only when they were making love that he felt the closest to
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 93. Distracted
“You’re distracted.” Jamie looked up from the ground to Rafa’s accusing voice. Feigning nonchalance, he kept his gaze steady and said, “What do you want?” “It’s the borders.” He said, pushing a piece of paper toward him. Jamie caught it on the other end of the table and quickly scanned the text on it. “There’s some trouble.” Jamie read through the text with a frown on his face. It was a letter from one of the men posted in the boundary, Nate was his name. He was part of the army that takes care of the security of the nation, ensuring that no rogue wolves or foreign invaders slip through the borders. There have been no active wars in the past few years, thanks to their carefully planned relations with the neighboring packs. However, the letter read that there have been peculiar things happening along the borders now, with various suspicious men caught in groups. Nate wrote that he had managed to capture them along with his partners and held them in a cell. They have been questione
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 94. A fair game
“He’s not lifting.” The maid said with a sorrowful face. It had perhaps been the third time today that Emma asked her to ring Jamie, only to hear the same response again and again. The message he was sending her by not taking her calls was clear: He was not interested in speaking to her anytime soon. More than that, he was conveying that he was still angry with her. Perhaps things were better when he remained unaware of the truth. Right now, despite knowing that she was manipulated by her aunt, Jamie still held it against her. She wasn’t expecting him to forgive her immediately, but the least he could do was answer her calls and be willing to sort things out? If he did not wish to see her anymore, he should at least make that clear. He is just ignoring her while she remains locked up in this house, which was more cruel than him lashing out on her. “It’s okay.” She said, “I’m sorry for troubling you. I won’t ask for this again.” If he was not going to reciprocate, then she was not
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 95. A loud silence
“Your father postponed your ceremony.” Rafa mused from the driver’s seat. Jamie chose to ignore him, looking toward his right. He knew where this conversation was going to head. Rafa had been trying to open some conversation about Emma ever since they started the journey three hours ago. Within another hour, they will soon reach their destination and perhaps Jamie can finally find some peace then. “I suppose all is not well at your private residence.” Rafa said, irking him. “Since when have you become so inquisitive?” Jamie said, passing him a glare. Rafa chortled, “Hit the nail on the head, didn’t I?” He said. “Are you not sure about what to do with the woman?” Jamie scoffed in annoyance, “Mind your bloody business, Rafa!” “I’m only trying to help.” Rafa scolded. “You’ve got to talk to atleast one person about it, Jamie. You’re clearly lost.” “I assure you, Rafa. You’re better off not knowing anything.” “Try me.” He said, “Whatever it is, you know I’m only loyal to you
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 96. An ulterior motive
Having spent so long in the journey, Jamie and Rafa decided to take a small nap before heading out to meet Adam. The latter had invited them over for dinner, following which they would be getting to the matter at hand. Although they’ve barely kept in touch the past six months, it felt as though nothing changed. Adam was an old friend of Jamie before he was given the duty to oversee the security of their province. Adam was a smart man, and he was quick to impress Jamie‘s father, the then alpha and had secured an important position in the pack. Ever since he joined duty, he had been the biggest asset they could possess. Under his watch they seldom had to worry about the issues in the boundaries or any encroachment. Hence, it was surprising that Jamie had to meet Adam personally in order to review the situation in the province. “It’s been too long since we’ve met, Adam.” Jamie said, offering his hand.Adam gave him a small style smile before shaking his hand. “It truly has been so lon
