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
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 105. I trust you
Once Emma was shifted to her room, she rested there the entire day. Jamie spent most of his time outside, filling Aiden in about what happened and how they ended up seeking refuge in his house. As anticipated, Aiden assured him that they could stay with him for as long as they wanted. “I can imagine the turmoil amongst people back home.” Aiden said, smiling knowingly. “It’s unrealistic to expect them to accept a rogue. Until the tension dies down, you are free to stay here.” “That’s generous of you, Aiden.” Rafa said, “But it’s not safe for us to stay anywhere for too long. We don’t mean to cause you any trouble for helping us out. Give us a couple of days until Emma fully heals and we’ll be on our way.” Jamie agreed with it too. It was unfair to impose danger on Aiden merely for helping a friend in need. He had to figure out a way to escape before his father figured out where he was. As the day neared the end, Jamie headed back to his room. Dragging his feet up the stairs, he won
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 106. What it takes
“Before I answer your questions, you need to know that there is a lot to me that you are not aware of yet.” He said, “I never wanted to lie to you, so I always kept various parts of me hidden. It wasn’t because I didn’t trust you enough with it, but because I was afraid that you would not find them acceptable. I did not enjoy it one bit, Emma. I valued your transparency more than anything, and I wanted to be able to open up to you too, but I had to wait for the right moment. I had to know that you were ready to hear me, the entirety of me, before I could tell you anything.” Emma’s eyes switched with uncertainty, but she remained mute, allowing him to continue. “My name is not Jamie, Emma.” He said, “I was born Christopher James Rogers. Most of my friends and family call me Chris. It was after I joined the brotherhood that I picked up the name Jamie Lewis. Jamie is a short form of my middle name, and Lewis was my mother’s surname before she got married. I began using that name profes
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 107. All there is to it
The full moon was out that day, shining in all its glory against the canvas of the night sky. Its luminance pierced through the glass window, being the only guide to them in the room. Jamie had his arm wrapped around her, holding her back close against his chest. Tucking his chin under her head, he was about to close his eyes when he felt her shift in his arms. His eyes searched for her in the darkness, curious to know if she too, like him, was struggling to fall asleep. Her eyes were wide open, looking at him intently, confirming his suspicion. She couldn’t fall asleep either. “Can’t sleep?” He asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She shook her head, “I can’t stop thinking about what you told me.” “It’s a lot to take in at once, I understand.” He said, “But it’s all in the past, Emma. I’m no longer that person who wants to avenge my sister’s death. I’ve grown past that.” “And I’m glad,” She said, “But what I can’t understand is how it even got this far.” “What do you
