74. Impossible
Jamie’s eyes roamed over the document in front of him, the context of it failing to reach his mind. He was barely present in the moment, for his thoughts were being plagued by the past. No matter what, he couldn’t seem to get his shit together. A constant worry loomed over his figure, demanding his full attention.
He closed the document with a sigh, realizing that there was no way he would be productive like this. Unless he solves the mystery at hand, he won’t be at peace.
“Rafa!” He yelled, gripping his forehead. A sudden pounding had begun within, and Jamie realized he could not sustain long without rest.
The door opened and in came a tall, lanky man. It looked as though he had just awoken from sleep. “Yes?”

Emma woke up with a jerk as the doors of the dungeon closed shut. As she blinked, the vision before her cleared to reveal a man coming toward her. She thought she had seen him before, but she wasn’t sure. He was surely one of Jamie’s men, and most likely, he was here to punish her like the rest of them.When the man approached her inside her cell, Emma was taken aback from the smirk of his face. Unlike other men, he didn’t regard her with disgust or anger. Instead, he seemed to be amused by something, and she couldn’t fathom what about her situation he found funny.“So you’re the one, huh?” He asked, arms crossed in front of him. “Who has been giving our boss sleepless nights.”Emma frowned at him.

“You found who?” Tom’s voice boomed in the hall as Jamie dropped the news on him like a bombshell.Tom had arrived in the morning and had been busy ever since. As it was his father who had invited him, Jamie couldn’t demand for his time at his leisure. It wasn’t until evening that the two of them made time for each other and retired for a glass of whisky. As they poured their second drink for the evening, Jamie started speaking of the brutal turn his life had taken in the past one week.Jamie sighed, nodding in dismay. “You heard me.”“I’m sorry, but let’s go back a few steps.” Tom said, putting his hands up in confusion. “You’re saying you found Emma?”&
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 77. Get away from me
“All of you. Leave.” Jamie announced as soon as he entered the dungeon.His men nodded at him in acknowledgement, gathering their things and walked out in silence. Once the dungeon was emptied, he shut the door behind him and locked it. He took slow steps towards her cell, suddenly growing aware of his apprehension. It wasn’t the first time he was seeing her, then what was he scared of? Reeling a deep breath in, he fastened his pace and stopped right outside her cell.When his eyes looked through the iron rods that separated her from him, his breath hitched in his throat. Disbelief gripped him as he ran his eyes over her meek, deranged figure lying limp on the ground. For a second, he believed that she had no life in her anymore, but the subtle movement of her chest with every breath she took assured him
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 78. From the past
Bloody hell!What the hell was the matter with this woman? Everytime he felt like he was getting closer to finding some answers, she pushes him back into the bundle of questions he’s tangled up in.Why did it feel like he was meeting her for the first time all over again? He knew her and her past better than anybody, even better than herself. Then why was he not able to understand what was going on with her? There was definitely something that was plaguing ehr mind, making her act out.Could it be because something that happened in the past few months that they were apart?That could be the only explanation. It was only during this separation between them that he remained completely unaware o
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 1. And I'll do exactly that
“You either keep your hands to yourself or find a knife driven through your flesh.” Emma gritted through her teeth as Alex gave her a crooked smile. It had been too long since the man was bothering her with flirtatious comments. And now, he crossed the line by placing his hand on her butt. Emma was not going to ignore his advances this time. She might be an employee here, but that didn’t mean she would go above and beyond to cater to her clients.As she filled the tray with emptied glasses, he leaned toward her ear. “You wouldn’t dare, darling.”She glared over her shoulder. “Keep talking and you’ll find out.” she said, and before she could round the corner and get behind the bar, she felt him yank her by her arm. Whirling her around, his fingers tightened on her skin, towering over her with menacing eyes. “Careful woman. You don’t want to push it.” “Let go of me, you brute!” “Give me a kiss and I will.” He said, leaning closer to her. Before his lips could reach hers, she felt a
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 2. Start talking
Emma felt her cheeks heat up at his comment, sure of the red color that was dominating her features. This man clearly knew how to woo his women. Before she could retort, she heard someone yell at her. “Can I get a pitcher, miss?” It was a man holding out his card on the bar, awaiting her. “I’ll be back in a minute.” She mumbled to Jamie before she headed toward her new customer. Instantly after she’d uttered it, she clasped her eyes shut in regret. Why did she have to say that? That was her chance to get rid of him. Inwardly groaning, she poured the beer into the pitcher glass. She looked over her shoulder to see if Jamie was still there, and much to her dismay, he was. Why did she care if he was around? Was she looking forward to spending time with him? If it weren’t for the fact that he selflessly put himself before that asshole, she would’ve hardly entertained him. Despite the fact that he looked incredibly attractive to her, with his dark brown hair falling on his forehead in
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 3. Mate
“Where do you want me to start?” Came Emma’s meek reply, her voice evident of exhaustion and reluctance. “You said you don’t belong to any pack.” Jamie said, looking at her from the corner of his eyes. “Why is that?”He watched as she fumbled with her fingers in her lap, surely nervous of the situation. However, when he heard her sigh, he knew he didn’t have to press on the matter further. “I am an adopted child. My parents are humans.” Jamie took a quick look at her, trying to analyze her face for any signs of lying. Unfortunately, she remained emotionless. “Your birth parents are werewolves then?” “Most likely. I’ve never seen them. Nor have my parents. The foster care took me in when they found me by the road, when I was less than a week old. A year later, my parents adopted me, and I’ve lived a normal human life with them.”“A normal life?” Jamie said, “I’m sure your parents have witnessed your wound healing ability when you’ve hurt yourself as a child. That is anything but nor
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 4. A glimmer of hope
Tom choked in response, caught by surprise. Eyes wide with disbelief, he studied his friend for any sign of mirth in his features, but its absence only concerned him more. The man who had no space for anyone but himself in his life was blessed with a mate? “I can hardly believe it.” Tom said, “I thought you were destined to be alone forever.” Jamie threw him an unimpressive look, “I’m a werewolf, Tom. Of course I was destined to find my mate.” “But?” He said, “Why are you surprised then?” “It’s just…” Jamie looked away, “I hadn’t expected to find one anytime soon. At least not in the current circumstance.” “Well, cupid doesn’t knock on the door before he strikes his arrow.” Tom said, “Is she aware?”“That I’m her mate? I would guess not. She seems quite unaware of things.” “Such as?” “She was raised by human parents. I doubt she has much knowledge about our way of life.”“So you trust what she said?” “Of course.”Tom frowned at him, “Then why take the pain of coming all the wa
