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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
