My Hunted Mate

Chapter Thirty Four

Corinna

" Yes. " I answer Sabine, deciding that lying wouldn't be the best approach considering she would

definitely know better.

" I thought there was something off about you the first time we met, no wonder. You're being hunted.

Why? " She paces back and forth with her hands laced together behind her back as continues

questioning me.

" Because of what I am. " I state simply.

She nods her head. " The hybrid. You know the make it out that the hybrid is a man, why do you think

that is? "

" Because too many people underestimate women, to the point that they think something as powerful

as a hybrid couldn't possibly be a woman. " I answer, causing Sabine to pause and turn to me.

" I'm liking you more by the second, Hybrid. " She sends me a grin, but it quickly faded from her lips. "

Now, who exactly is hunting you? "

" My old pack. " I shift on my feet.

" But they're more than your pack.. Aren't they? " She narrows her eyes on my feet.

I nod. " My uncle is the alpha, my cousin is next in line to be alpha and my.. my father is his Beta. "

" Your family are the ones hunting you? " She looks slightly surprised by this, but I know a huge part of

her knew it was going to be people close to me, I don't answer just nod. " I apologise for my questions,

I was easing my suspicion of you. I'll let you get back now. "

Without another word she leaves me standing in the room alone thinking of my family, how much they

hated me and all of the pain they had caused me. I could never understand why running me off was

never enough for them, why they felt the need to chase me down. I had many questions that they could

only answer and I would probably never get those answers.

Sighing, I begin to wander back up through the house to find Kai. When I find him he's sitting on the

sofa, reading in the living room with Phoenix who is playing on a game console with eyes eyes glued to

the TV bolted to the wall, Dahlia sits beside them running her fingers along the back of an anxious

looking Lila, who's seated practically on her lap.

As if sensing me, Kai looks up from his book, his eyes instantly finding mine. A smile graces his face as

he closes and places the book on the coffee table in front of him, I stride over to him settling myself

down on his lap.

" You did wonderfully in the meeting my darling. " He kisses my cheek.

" Oh please, I didn't do anything. " I scoff, wrapping my arm around his shoulders and tangling my free

hand in his.

" Actually, I think you gained the respect of a lot of the clan by standing up to Farrah. " He mumbles,

continuing to place kisses on my cheek, then my neck and shoulder.

" Speaking of Farrah, you seem to have a type. " I grumble.

He chuckles. " What do you mean? "

" Black hair, big boobs, bitchy attitude. The three b's if you will. " I sass him.

He lets out a burst of laughter against my shoulder. " Is someone jealous? "

" Maybe. " I huff.

" There is no need to be my darling, I promise you. " He goes back to kissing my shoulder.I frown,

removing my hands from him to pick at my finger nails. " I don't know Kai.. I'm.. " I sigh, lowering my

voice so only he can hear me. " She's like a goddess and the two women I've met that you've had

some kind of relationship are both polar opposites to what I look like.. "

" It's alright to be jealous, to feel insecure, to feel any kind of way but my darling we are made for each

other, my past is just that the past, I've only seen you since the moment you walked into my life and it

will continue to be that way. You have beauty, brains, such a big heart and so much bravery. The four

B's if you will. " He whispers against my shoulder, taking both my hands in his. " Most importantly, I love

you and only you. "

I lean into him, resting my head on his chest. " I love you. "

" Mal! " I jump as Olive bursts into the room, looking panicked.

Everyone in the room is suddenly on full alert, waiting for Olive to speak again. Kai and I both stand up,

moving over to her. " What's going on Olive? " I ask.

" The wolves, there's a bigger group of them across the lake. They're demanding you both come out to

them. " She rushes her words.

" What makes them think we'll go to them? " Kai shakes his head. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

" They have Farrah. "

Kai and I both take off running out of the house, Phoenix and Mateo who had been playing pool with

another clan member follow closely behind us, it only takes minutes for us to exit the garden and race

to the edge of the lake.

On the other side a group of at least twenty or more wolves stand behind my uncle who has Farrah

pinned against his front with a hand wrapped around her neck and a stake directed toward her heart,

my cousin stands beside him with a mischievous grin on his face, but when my eyes fall on my father

my heart drops.

Helena is on her knees in front of my father with shackles on her hands and a rope tied around her

neck like a leash, he stares across the lake with emotionless eyes, looking completely indifferent as he

holds a blade against Helena's neck under the robe that seems to be restricting her air flow.

Without realising I had started to move towards them but Kai's hand flies out, gripping my arm to stop

me. " What do you want? " Kai speaks, not needing to raise his voice due to everyone here except

Helena having supernatural hearing.

" To warn my dear niece. " My uncle sends a fake smile toward me, making my stomach churn.

" Let them go Cain. " I demand.

My words are only met with a chorus of laughs from my uncle and cousin, my father stays emotionless.

" Why would we do that? " My cousin Elliot chuckles.

" I wasn't speaking to you runt. " I snarl.

Elliot lets out a growl. " I will rip OUT YOUR HEART! " He screams.

" Did I touch a nerve? " I smirk at him.

" Enough! " My father barks. " Do what we came here to do Cain. "

" That's Alpha to you. " My uncle hisses. " You may be my brother Thomas, I make the demands, not

you. "

" If you're done, state your business. " Kai interrupts their arguing.

" We're just here to remind our dearest Corinna of what happens to the people she seeks help from. "

My uncle narrows his eyes with a sick grin on his face, exposing his yellow teeth to us.

My heart begins to race at his words. I try to move forward but Kai holds me back again. " Kai, please

you don't understa- " I begin to plea but I cut myself off with a scream as my father slides the knife

across Helena's throat.

My sobs echo loudly through the woods as I watch my friend's body hit the floor, I call out for her as

she bleeds out, the last words that pass her lips are a name. I scream and cry while struggling against

Kai's hold, who does his best to console me.

" We will come back and we will cut down every soul who has come to your aid, just as we have many

times before, but this time Corinna we will make you watch us end your bloodsucker mate and every

member of his clan and then we will end you. " My father growls.

He then turns his back to us, walking away the wolves parting to let him through. I drop to my knees,

my sobbing becomes uncontrollable as I stare across the lake into my friend's lifeless eyes, unable to

look away. I barely notice that Farrah has managed to get free and leap across the lake, I also barely

notice as my uncle and his wolves turn and follow my father back into the woods.
