All Chapters of HIS UNWORTHY MATE: Chapter 61 - Chapter 66

~JADE~I woke up startled from a nightmare that seemed intent on cutting off my ability to breathe. My eyes blew wide in panic, and my heart thumped at an inhumane speed as I tried to take in lungfuls of air.It didn’t help that the light in the bedroom was dim. It took me several minutes of blinking before my eyes adjusted to the slight darkness in the room and for my brain to catch up with the fact that I was awake and safe, away from the horrors of my nightmares.The last time I had nightmares of Hunter, I was running through woods day and night, heavy with my pregnancy, trying to live a day without a rogue wolf attack. Ever since Reign found me, I hadn’t had one of those nightmares; perhaps it was because the majority of the time I had been unconscious, or was it the safety that came with falling asleep surrounded by his pheromones?Despite how heady and overwhelming his scent was, it was also calming in a sense, which promised safety and protection. However, this time, I couldn’t

~REIGN~I don’t know how long we stood in the middle of my bedroom, with me just cradling her to my chest while she sobbed. Despite how difficult it was to listen to the sound of her anguish cries. I held her close, doing my best to assure her that I was okay with it.As long as it was what she needed. Then I had nowhere else to be. And it’s funny because I’ve always hated the sound or sight of someone crying.

Eventually, her sobs evened out. “I’m sorry,” she murmured, pulling back slightly as she sniffed.Shaking my head, I reached forward to gently wipe the tear streaks on her cheeks. “You don’t have to apologize for this. If it helps you feel bett

~REIGN~“Jade.” A growl rumbled through my chest as I relished the way her name rolled off my tongue. Jade? Her name was Jade. That had been her name all this while and I didn’t even know it, yet I called her Emerald because her eyes reminded me of precious gemstones. I didn’t realise how close I was to her real name—only a smidge close.All this while, she heard me call her Emerald. She probably thought about how close I was to her real name but she held off that information until now. I looked down at her, my heart filling with emotions I couldn’t explain as I realised why she finally chose to tell me her name. She was handing me her trust. She held off that piece of herself all this time. Despite how little it might seem to others. It was a piece of her, an important part of her, that gave her an identity and she held that back because she couldn’t trust me. I was but a stranger to her, claiming to care about her. She didn’t trust me until now. And even if she wasn’t saying those e
