Raised by human parents, Emma never knew she was a wolf. Her world came crashing down when she turned eighteen and found out the truth about her identity. To make matters worse, she began to feel a sudden attraction towards a man, a man who was too dangerous to be her mate. Jamie was the Alpha in line but he was not your typical hero. He was rude, arrogant and on a dangerous mission. He only had one goal: To eradicate the evil rogue wolves that plagued their lands. He was a wolf-hunter in disguise, whose focus could not be deterred from his mission, especially not onto the beautiful young woman that he discovered to be his mate. However, strange circumstances bring them closer, and both of them find it impossible to resist the growing attraction. As startling secrets come to life, Jamie finds himself in an impossible situation, where he is forced to decide if she was worth the consequences that came with love.
View MoreJamie pushed open the large stone door to the dungeon. Making his way down the stairs, Jamie looked focussed on the growing cries of Emma’s. It seemed to him that she was in pain, crying out for help. The thought confused him. What was happening? For a moment, he was glad that there were no other captives in the dungeon at the moment, for it would’ve been rather difficult to handle her along with them. As he walked toward her cell, she noticed that she was surrounded by his men. As he moved past them, he watched how one of them whipped a rope and thrashed it against her back. His eyes widened as he watched her cry out in pain, her dress tearing open in the back to reveal her bleeding skin underneath. Anger rose cruised through his veins at the sight and he felt as though he would burst any moment now. Finding his voice, he said in a cold tone, “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” The man, Peter was his name, whirled around in surprise. He frowned at him in confusion, nonethe
What a strange twist of fate it was. Falling into the lap of the man she meant to leave behind forever must have ripped the rug from under her feet. Jamie just couldn’t accept the odds of it. He was finally coming to terms with her absence in his life, he was finally realizing it might be over forever, and right then she appears out of the blue, pumping some hope back into him. What plot had the universe orchestrated for the two of them? Was this its way of conveying that no matter how hard one tried, they couldn’t go against the plan of nature? And that despite any efforts, what is meant to be will always prevail. It wasn’t the first time that Emma threatened to be separated from him, and like every other time, she found her way back to him in the end. He became the savior she would always need. Did that mean there was still scope for them to go back to the way they were? To go back to being the married couple they were meant to be? To go back to being the soulmates they were dest
Jamie didn’t realize that he stopped breathing until she spoke. His eyes could hardly believe what he was seeing, utterly sure that he was mistaken. However, when she finally said his name, a name only she knew, he realized that it was indeed her. It was Emma. His mate. His mate who left him two months ago, and whom he thought he would never lay his eyes on. She came back to him again in the most unexpected circumstances. Not a single day passed by without Jamie wishing for this day, but as he finally found her, lying mere inches from him, his mind went blank. He couldn’t form a thought. He couldn’t think about anything. All he could do was stare in bewilderment, as though the moment his eyes left her figure, she would vanish into the thin air. His mind traveled to that day in the hotel as he stood at the end of the aisle, watching her walk toward him. He could vividly remember her in her white dress and how she had allowed him to place a ring on her finger that evening, without
Emma watched as thick, red blood oozed out of her nose, dripping onto the floor beneath her. She felt an excruciating pain raise up her legs all the way to the pit of her stomach as she tried to steady herself, pushing herself off the ground. Gaining momentary strength, she managed to sit up, but soon after, she felt another blow coming at her face. This time, her head flew to the wall behind, colliding with her forehead. “Ah!” Emma cried in pain as an intense pain gripped her head, making her dizzy. Emma could see her eyes blur, the gray stone beneath her body turning. In reflex, Emma tried to shield her body with her limbs, but she couldn’t. Her wrists weighed down with iron cuffs, chained down to either of the walls beside her. Staring at her attire, she found her dress to be stained with blood and dirt. It was drawn up to her knees, from where her skin was littered with various cuts. Tears pricked at her eyes as she tried to find her voice, desperate for another cry for help,
“Are you still with us?” Jamie’s eyes snapped upward as he heard Anthony’s voice. Eyeing his father with some guilt, he sat up straight and gave him his attention once again, “I’m sorry, you were saying?”“I just asked you what you think of her?” He repeated, exchanging quiet looks with his wife who was seated beside him. Jamie sighed. This was the fourth match his parents had got for him ever since he came back to Ormel. Their desperation for an heir was growing day by day, and with the two forces combined against him, Jamie hardly stood a chance. Being their only progeny didn’t help his chances either, for they were constantly behind him to dictate his life, help him find a woman that would keep him happy. Jamie often wondered if it was this very reason that kept him away from home for so many days. He knew how overbearing his parents were and that after a certain point, he couldn’t do anything to fight them. Sometimes, their attempts at setting him up with someone would be so b
The moon remained her lone companion as Emma ran into the wilderness. Clutching the straps of her bag hanging down her shoulder, she hurried deeper into the forest for as long as her legs permitted. It was the last place anybody could find her, and for tonight, the forest would be her home. As she finally stopped by a huge rock that shielded her from the view of the rest of the forest, she realized how utterly exhausted she was. Collapsing onto the floor, she reeled in deep breaths to nullify her rapid ventilation. As her heart calmed down, Emma glanced around her surroundings. While the moonlight shone through the canopy, it was still dark for her eyes to make out anything. Apart from the noise of some insects, the atmosphere around her was filled with deathly silence. She could hear her own pulse raging, trying to suppress the adrenaline that coursed through her body. Although out in the wild, Emma finally felt safe. Despite having a roof under her head all these days, she was nev
Filled with Apprehension, Emma clasped her eyes shut, hoping that her ignorance will drive him away. But it didn’t. If anything, her silence only seemed to anger him more, for he began banging at the door now. He was a powerful man, but he rarely resorted to violence. Hence, Emma always thought that she had no reason to fear that he would ever be aggressive with her, but the way her room door was threatening to break open, it was possible her worst fear would come true. Scrambling to her feet, Emma looked around frantically. There was only her bag and her cot at her disposal, and she could seem to find anything else that she could use for her defense.Desperate, she took her bag and held it against her chest, hoping that it would provide some sort of defense. “Are you bloody deaf, woman?” He growled, “Do you not hear me?” Grimacing, Emma cried, “What do you want from me?”“Oh, so you are alive.” He said, “Then what’s the problem? Open the damn door.” “No, I won’t! I’d like to be
Emma jolted awake from her sleep at the sound of a door shutting with a bang.Grasping for breath, she sat up straight with widened eyes. Her throat had gone dry from all the panting she had endured during her sleep, and her mind was still gripped with fear. Enduring nightmares had become a common thing for her by now, but she couldn’t grow immune to them. If anything, things had only gotten worse and worse for her. Every night it was a different dream, different struggle yet from the same person. Swiping the sweat off her forehead, she pushed the thin, sorry excuse for a blanket away from her body. Sighing, she ran her eyes over the tiny room she was sleeping in, at the top of which lay an uncovered vent. The winter had begun and it was showing no mercy whatsoever. By itself, the thin walled room barely shielded her from the growing cold outside, and having no heater only made it worse. As if that wasn’t enough, the glass shield of the vent had broken, allowing air to easily slip in
Emma watched the city move away from her in a distance, growing smaller and smaller with every passing second. The bus she was traveling in was surprisingly full in such an odd hour, but yet, she felt lonely within. Hugging her bag to her chest, Emma felt hot tears emerge within her eyes, threatening to spill over. “Are you okay, child?” Asked the old lady that sat beside her, eyeing her with concern. Shaking her head, Emma looked away from her, looking out the window, “I’m okay.” It was evident from her voice alone that she wasn’t, but the old woman didn’t probe further. Biting her lower lip, Emma held back her sob. If someone told her a day ago that it would only take twenty four hours to wreck her entire life apart, she would’ve laughed at them. And yet, here she was, on a bus that would take her away to a far away land where nobody would find her. Where Jamie would never find her. Her heart constricted upon the thought of him, and it stung the same way it had when lost her p
