The Wolf Hunter's Mate 97. Who are you
It was a rather quiet day at Jamie’s private residence. It had only been a day since she last spoke to Jamie but it felt as though she was separated from him for days. In their own way, her sentiments were true. Although they have physically reunited, their souls hardly found any solace in each other’s presence. Emma looked out of her window into the wilderness, her heart longing for her husband. He was miles away from her then but she wished he were with her right now. She didn’t even know when he would be back and when she would next be allowed to speak with him. She had no idea where he was or what he was doing, and that was driving her crazy. She hated being the one to wait, writhing in the anticipation of what would come next. In all those months that she spent away from him, she never felt like this. She felt like he was a part of the past she desperately wanted to forget. But now, he was the future she was looking forward to. He was her light at the end of the tunnel, promis
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 98. No mercy
A chill ran down Emma’s spine as she heard him. Alpha Anthony? Why did he want to capture her? How did he even come to know of her presence here? As far as she was aware, Jamie had tried to keep it a secret from everyone. He shifted her to his private residence because he didn’t want anyone to know about her presence. Then how did his father of all people come to know of her? Could there have been a mole in the house? Did one of Jamie’s men betray him? That could be the only possibility. “Your man did a wrong thing by revealing to his father about you.” The man continued to speak, clutching her hair until he elicited pain. “Nobody can save you now. Not even your mate himself.” Emma’s eyes widened in surprise. Jamie told his father about her? Why the hell would he do that? Perhaps it was inevitable, but he couldn’t possibly have told him she was rogue. That news was definitely given to him by someone else, and Emma could easily guess who. Fucking hell! “Now, let’s go down, shall we
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 99. Cowardly
Emma watched in despondency as her wrists were now being shackled. The heavy metal weighed down her arms and subdued by defeat, Emma ceased fighting back. She watched as the men attached the shackles to the iron bars of the prison cell, ensuring that there was no she could escape using her own might. Suddenly, she felt a stinging pain on her back and she was quick to realize that it was a whip. It was the same man who dragged her down that held the tool, raising it above his head so he struck her once more. Despite the pain, Emma held back her cries. No, she couldn’t give him the satisfaction, not when she knew that her tears would hardly stir any sympathy in that stone of a heart he had. The evil man soon picked up on that and gave her a menacing look that challenged her resolve. His blows became harsher, yet Emma wouldn’t yield. When he was tired from tormenting her, he stepped back, staring at her with incredulity. “You think you’re made of tough shit, huh?” He said, but Emma rema
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 100. A chance
Emma could hear her own beat as she contemplated what Frieda just told her. Her plan wasn’t flawless, there were way too many risks involved; the both of them could get killed within a minute of this failing, but yet, she believed it was worth giving a shot. She could possibly escape from these evil men for once and never have to come back. From what Frieda told her, she would be set free too. Emma left a sigh of exasperation as she looked at the iron bars of the cell. Frieda assured her that it was recently built and had a faulty foundation holding it together. Once she shifted to her wolf, it wouldn’t be so hard to break it open. After that, she was instructed to head toward Jamie’s room, where there was another path leading to the outside of the house, taking which the two of them could head into the forest. “I’m going to head upstairs, Emma.” She said, "As soon as I’m out of the cell, you do what I told you, alright?” With uncertainty, Emma nodded her head. She had no other opt
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 101. Away from home
“Can this thing go any faster?” Jamie growled from the passenger seat. Rafa shot a irritated look toward his side from beside him, Calm the fuck down, Jamie-”“Calm down?” Jamie said, incredulously. “You tell me my wife is being held captive by own father and you ask me to calm down?” It hadn’t been longer than an hour since the two of them started their journey back home. As the news from Jamie’s private residence regarding his father’s intrusion reached them, Jamie didn’t waste a second before getting onto his feet. And now, despite raging on the road at top speed, it felt like this journey would take up an eternity. He was growing impatient by each passing second, millions of gruesome images flooding his brain. “Well, nothing good is going to come out of it anyway, Jamie.” He groaned, “Calm down and think about how we can control the situation.” Control the situation? Jamie scoffed. This was never supposed to happen in the first place. There should never have been a question of
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 102. Rhythm of his heart
Emma shuddered against the cold breeze striking against her skin. Gone was the warmth she cocooned herself in as she fell asleep, and now, covered by a thin cloth, she felt the hair raise up on her body. Her throat was dry, and the cold air burned against her nose as she reeled a shaky breath in. Suddenly, she felt fully aware of her body. She felt a soreness in her entire body accompanied by some raise in temperature. She noticed that it hurt to even move a limb, and she couldn’t help but groan at the feeling. Right then, she felt aware of someone’s touch on her shoulder, slowly turning her. When she first opened her eyes, it was all dark and blurry, barely helping her make out anything. She could hear someone whisper against her ear, but she struggled to find coherence in them. Defeated, she closed her eyes once again, drifting back into slumber. When she next awoke, Emma realized that she was moving. Within a few seconds, she could tell that she was in a vehicle, possibly a car
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 103. A plea
Aiden was Jamie’s old acquaintance.Apart from being one of his loyal members of the pack, he was also known for his exceptional healing abilities. Many times in the past, Jamie had heard about him curing multiple ailments in his friends and family members with utmost ease and simplicity. He had tackled various medical conditions that were once diagnosed as untreatable and saved several people from the crux of death. Alpha Anthony was so impressed with his prowess that he invited him to stay at the mansion with them, serving as their personal physician, but Aiden declined. He liked living in a remote village, growing up around his people and serving his pack in whichever way he could. Still, people from all around the province come to him for his help, and Aiden never turned them away. Hence, when Jamie realized how severely she was injured, he knew that it was only Aiden that could help them in this hour of need. And he had been right. Throughout the journey, Emma’s condition progr
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 104. Soothing darkness
“It worked, Jamie.” Aiden’s eyes crinkled at the edges as a bright smile spread across his face. After having spent the better part of the night trying to find a cure, it was evident how relieved and pleased he was with himself when he finally found success. “The antidote we administered, it was the right one. She had shown drastic improvement in the past few hours.” “She’s awake now?” Jamie asked, his eyes eagerly looking toward the room she was resting in. “She is, yes.” Aiden nodded. “She is asking for you. Go ahead.” Jamie muttered a quick thanks before he slowly started making his way towards her. A peculiar feeling crept up his chest, a sort of hesitance holding him back. It was not the first time he was seeing her, but the nervousness he felt was rather apparent. In a way, he was scared to face her, for he had no idea how this was going to go. She did tell him that it wasn’t his fault, but he couldn’t help but worry about her reaction. She might not blame him for what happe
