My Hunted Mate novel Chapter 60

Corinna

" Cori, you've just given birth do you really think this is the-" Gia starts, but I cut her off with a warning glare.

" There is no time to argue this. " I growl, turning to Kai. " Now, even though my body heals fast, it doesn't heal that fast, so I'm going to need your blood. "

He looks away like he's weighing his options, until his face crinkles for a few seconds and he brings his wrist to his mouth, extending his fangs and biting into the flesh.

Without hesitation, I grab his wrist gulping down the blood, feeling my strength returning as I do so, as the euphoric feeling grows, I detach myself from him.

" We need someone to look after Elias. " I announce.

" Brother, you stay. " Kai directs toward Phoenix, who's eyes dart between us until I nod in agreement.

" You're sure about this? " Phoenix questions, gently taking Elias into his arms.

" Of course. " I smile, moving the bed sheets away from my body and standing to my feet.

My clothing had been replaced with a blue hospital gown, not bothering to change, I place a small kiss on Elias' forehead, promising him I would be back soon.

Kai takes a moment with our newborn also before we join hands and exit the room with Jack and Gia following behind.

The house is completely abandoned as we run through it, but the second we step outside the strong overwhelming scent of blood and burning flesh cuts through my senses.

Kai's phone begins to ring loudly from the pocket of his jeans, he answers it but never stops moving. Listening to the voice on the other end, I watch as he shakes his head. "Dahlia? No no, stay where you are, don't return home yet."

Dahlia's panicked voice fills my ears as I tune into the conversation. " Why? Mal, What's wrong? "

" We're being attacked, Corinna's pack, they're here. So stay where you and your beloved are safe, Sister. " Kai doesn't give her a chance to reply before he ends the call.

When we reach the lake, the smell only increases, I find myself swallowing hard at the sight of the blood covered grass, the bodies of the dead either ripped apart in a bloody mess on the ground or burning until they're unrecognisable.
