All Chapters of The Wolf Hunter's Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Although it has been only two days since Jamie promised to find her a position at the Plaza, Emma was growing rather impatient. Her heart was refusing to rest from all the anxious beating, awaiting some good news just as she was. Much to her dismay, Jamie scarcely gave her any time these past couple of days. He left before she woke up and would only return when she was fast asleep. Jamie was a rather reserved person in general, but lately, it looked like he was making extra effort to avoid encountering her. If she didn’t know better, she would have assumed that he was doing it on purpose. The thought crossed her mind several times now, but she always turned her suspicion down by wondering why he would possibly want to ignore her when it was himself that proposed her to live with him. It was only his busy schedule that was to be blamed and nothing else. 

”Emma, calm down!” Elena exclaimed into the phone, “What did you do?”  “I did…” Emma clasped her eyes shut, “Ugh, what was I thinking?”  “Emma, tell me what happened. You’re worrying me.” Elena said in a serious tone, as though she was a mother looking to discipline her child.  Emma reeled in a deep breath, “I kissed Jamie.”  For a few seconds, she was only greeted with silence on the other end. “You did what?”  “Yes.” Emma said, “I k

As Jamie had instructed, Emma headed straight to the reception to greet the man. Joel was friendly, like the rest of the staff he had introduced her to. After explaining her tasks for the period of her employment, she couldn’t help but be surprised. The workload was rather too less, paling in comparison to what she had to do in her previous jobs. When she mentioned the same to him, he only laughed at her.  “I’ve heard you’re here on a special recommendation.” He said with a teasing smile, “And we were given orders to tread you gently.”  “That’s very kind, but I do not deserve any special treatment. You may treat me like any other ordinary employee.”  “Oh, darling, you don’t really want tha

“Who is that woman?” Anthony’s thunderous voice boomed in the room, making Maria flinch.  Jamie's eyes remained steady as he regarded his angry father, unfazed by his sudden outburst. They were currently in Anthony and Maria’s hotel room, where Jamie and Tom were summoned as soon as the couple finished their dinner. Jamie was already on his way to pick Emma up when his father called and demanded his presence immediately. He shot a quick text to Emma to wait for him in the lobby while he tended to some important work.  However, Jamie did not expect that the object of their discussion was none other than Emma herself. “She has the blood of her parents on her hands, Jamie.” He said, “She is a cruel human. How could you let her

By the time they got home, Emma’s condition had barely improved. Kicking the door open, he rushed into his bedroom with her. Placing her on the mattress, he headed straight to his drawer to procure the antidote.  As he made his way home, he realized that Emma had been bleeding from the side of her waist all this while, despite having the ability to heal within seconds. She must have sustained that laceration in the forest by a tree branch, laced with poison. As werewolves, certain plants contained venom that can almost instantly take their lives. Emma was obviously unaware of them, and inevitably fell prey.  The poison also prevented her healing ability, causing her to bleed profusely. If he didn’t stop that, she would soon lose all her blood. Luckily,
