79. Let me go
When Emma opened her eyes, new surroundings welcomed her.
She blinked her eyes rapidly, trying to gather bits of information from her head. WIthin seconds, everything came flooding back to her. Her stay in the cell, Jamie talking to her, a woman trying to help her into new clothes and her traveling to a new place. The last thing she remembered before dozing off was the warmth of the floor she slept on and she gazed down below, she realized that she was comfortably sprawled on a mattress.
She sat up straight slowly, running her eyes around the room she was in. The heater was on, she thought, and the blinds were rolled down. A small light lay beside the window, casting its orange glow on the entire room. It was like nothing she had ever seen before, making her wonder how she ended up here after all.

As Jamie walked into the room, the pounding in his head intensified. Having barely caught any sleep last night, he tried to rest for a few hours in the morning before an invitation, or rather, an order arrived summoning his presence for breakfast. Seeing how he’d already been avoiding his parents the past few days, he realized he had to make an appearance this time.Reluctantly, he dragged his feet to the grand hall where his parents and Tom greeted him by the table.“Morning,” He muttered as he settled down beside his friend.“We missed you last night.” His father mused.Jamie avoided his eyes, “I had urgent matters to tend to.”“Well, nobody
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 81. I can't believe you
Jamie was surprised to hear his own thoughts.After everything that happened, he did not expect that he still felt so strongly for her. Perhaps his heart only needed the right trigger to let all of his emotions out, and that trigger was his father’s words. Despite regretting his outburst, Jamie couldn’t help but feel as though a mountain’s weight had been lifted off his chest.He would soon have to tell them everything, but for now, he wanted to keep them in the dark about Emma’s identity. It wouldn’t take his father long to figure out that Emma was a rogue. And if he did, all hell would break loose and he wasn’t sure if he was capable enough to protect her in the current circumstances. Unless things were under control, Jamie would have to be careful and very discreet.
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 82. Voice of her heart
Emma didn’t realize when she fell asleep that night, but when she woke up, she was engulfed in darkness. The windows to her room were left open, allowing cool wind to breeze across the room. Drawing her arms around herself, she tried to comfort herself into sleeping again, but it was too late. Sleep was leaving her by each passing second, and she could no longer lie down on the bed.Sighing, she sat up straight, looking at the clock hung on the wall. It was far past midnight, she realized. She headed to the washroom to fresh up, and when she returned to her room, she heard a knock on the door.She wasn’t sure if she heard that right at first, but after a few seconds, the knocks on the door got louder, beckoning her to rush toward it at first. Who could it be? Perhaps, Jamie? Since he was the only person who could disturb
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 83. Game
Amidst the darkness, Emma felt her skin burn with desire. She was ablaze, her entire body shimmering elation. It wasn’t long after his lips touched hers that she realized how well her body responded to him, despite being away for so many years. All these days, her heart and soul had been in a turmoil, dancing to the tunes of fates that succumbed into a chaotic world. She was on her toes, alert and ready for any curveball life may throw at her.It wasn’t until she found herself in his arms that she finally got back on her feet, finding her way back to placidity. It was as though he caught her from falling into an endless tunnel, tugging her back up into safety.Safe.That’s exactly what she felt right now.
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 84. In the dark
“Well, if I were to be honest, I think that I would have been far safer in his care than yours.”She might as well have driven a sword through his heart when she said that.Jamie couldn’t understand where he had failed for her to believe in such a thing. He could hear the accusation of betrayal in her voice, and he was lost as to why she perceived him to be so evil when all he ever cared about was to protect her. He slowly realized that in her eyes, he was the danger. He was the one that hurt her the most, and unknowingly, he had become the very thing he tried to protect her from.Looking at her like that, he wanted to do something, anything to assure her that what he was thinking was untrue. In fact, it was the farthest thing fro
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 85. The news
It had been a couple of days since that night, and Emma was slowly drifting back into normalcy. Her heart still stung at the bitter reminder of it, but she was growing immune to it slowly. Lately, that was how everything else in her life was turning out to be. Day by day, she was getting accustomed to the fact that this could perhaps be how the rest of her life would span out. Surprise after surprise until nothing got to her anymore.Having awakened early today, she decided to go for a walk to keep her mind off things. As she stepped into the backyard, she noticed that there were numerous men posted outside the house. There were normally five to six men, but today, the number seemed to have increased to at least a double.That was strange. Why the sudden security? Was Jamie worried she would run away after what happened?&
The Wolf Hunter's Mate 86. An end
Jamie simply couldn’t fathom how news about his marriage to Emma could’ve spread so fast.It was only a few days ago that he broke the news to his father who later swore to have only revealed it to his mother. However, as he returned home from town, he was convinced that he had heard the gossip in whispers from plenty of people around. It was evident in the way they regarded him the entire afternoon.The news had also reached his private residence where Emma was currently staying. Rafa had paid her a visit yesterday, and he revealed that she was rather surprised to know of her new title.

“Jamie is here?”Emma said in surprise upon hearing the maid. She had been talking to her colleague when Emma walked in and overheard their conversation. They were talking about changing the dinner menu now that they had another person to serve and before they could complain about it, Emma had interrupted them.“Err… Master Chris is here.” She replied, looking at her with confusion.Chris? Who the hell was that?“He had arrived in the morning and had been working in his office room since then.”Office? Only Jamie had his office room here. Is that who they were referring to? It must be him.“Why wasn’t I
