All Chapters of HIS UNWORTHY MATE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

~JADE~ I am not sure why I didn’t move, even though it was quite obvious that Hunter had lunged for an attack. That’s a lie. I know quite well the reason I didn’t move. My body had frozen in place when I saw him lunge, and a part of me thought my mate wouldn’t exactly attack me. It was just impossible that Hunter would want to attack me, given how he has never raised a hand at me for the past two years that we’ve been together. But I was deluding myself. Maybe the reason he never hit me for the past two years was because I never gave him a reason to, and now. Now I very much gave him every viable reason to want to hurt me, but I still tried convincing myself that he wouldn’t. Realisation dawned on me too late, before I could get my body to move out of the way, Hunter came barreling forward, his hand outstretched, palm striking me in the face and his claws cut a deep wound across my cheek. My head swings sideways, echoes of sounds rung repeatedly in my ear. My hands moved out of

||*JADE*||I stood in the living room, unsure of what to do with myself. We were back home, and for the first time in two years, I felt like a stranger in my own home. I never knew a time would come when I'd feel like an absolute stranger in a place where I once found comfort and love.I am taken back to the first time I stepped foot in this house, the day Hunter brought me here as a surprise to show me our new home. The house he built for when he finds his mate, with the hope that they'll both make it their home, I remember the feeling of contentment and comfort I felt when he walked me into this very living room, the pleasant smile on his face when he said the words, “This is our home now, your home, for as long as you’ll have me."And in that moment, I felt like the most important person on earth; all the memories from when I was in Manila had become less painful. Because Hunter had given me a place I could call home in the first few months of meeting him and knowing he was my mate,

~JADE~My eyes blinked open, my gaze hazy, as I tried to focus on the shadow hovering above me while at the same time trying to make sense of where I was and what had happened."Get up and get out of my kitchen." The rough sound of Hunter's voice had me blinking into focus, the fog in my vision and head gone as I took in his appearance.A groan slipped past my lips as I pushed away from the cold kitchen floor, my eyes taking in the broken glass around me, and an onslaught of headaches came barreling in as memories of the pain I had felt before passing out.‘He doesn't even have the deceny to ask if you're okay..’ Levana, my wolf, mumbled as I stood up."Quit stalling, stand up, and clean up your mess." Hunter boomed above me, and I winced. "Why?" I couldn't stop myself from asking, even if I knew his answer would only end up hurting me more, yet I still asked because a part of me still hoped that the mate who had loved me was still there somehow and that he would come back to his sen

~JADE~ “Please wait here, Luna; the elders will call for you shortly.” Said one of the two gaurds who had escorted me to the council hall upon request by the council elders. Closing the door of the council hall behind him, the guard moved to the other side of the hallway, looking away from me, while the second guard proceeded to walk a few feet down the hallway away from us.I had woken up this morning with an aching heart and bile rising up my throat like every other morning since the morning my life took a drastic turn. After the argument with Hunter in his kitchen two mornings ago, he stopped coming home. I have not the slightest clue where he goes, but I sure as hell know what he does, if the pain I feel every time is any indication. It still baffles me how easy it is for him to switch up on me like this. He didn’t even care to give it time, or at least wait until a verdict had been passed. And if I am being honest, I have already given up hope of any sort of reconciliation bet

~JADE~ “What the fuck is this about?” Hunter all but growled as he shoved me into what I presume must be a small office in the council hall, and the sound of the door slamming shut behind us enclosed the threat in his growl in this tiny space. I couldn’t even bear to harbour shame with the way he had dragged me from where I stood before the elders and all the way across the hall into this tiny room. It still remains quite unfathomable to me how easy it was for him to change from a loving and doting mate to this man who cannot even seem to stand the sight of me. Not one iota of respect did he think to grant me, almost as if I was never worth a thing to him. “I have a few questions.” "If this is another plot of yours to gaslight me with your words or to beg, save your breath.” Hunter snapped. “It is neither of the two; I just want you to answer my questions with honesty. All I need to know is the truth, and once I hear the truth from your mouth, I’ll accept your rejection like y
