My Hunted Mate

Chapter Fourty One

Corinna

" How badly is she hurt? " I ask Jack, dropping to my knees on the ground at Gia's feet.

" One of them bit her. " He says darkly, his voice breaking. His eyes never lift from his mate, who is

breathing heavily and starting to pass out. " Gia, please stay awake. " He begs her, shaking her gently,

her eyes snap back open.

" I'm okay. " She whispers weakly.

" It's fine, I'll give her my blood it will heal her. " Kai calls from behind me, he is on the ground by my

side in a flash.

" No, you don't understand! " Jack growls loudly.

" Tonight is a full moon Kai, She's human and she was bitten. " I mumble.

" I don't get it. " He shakes his head.

" Even if you were to try to heal her, it wouldn't take. When a human is bitten on a full moon, it's to turn

them, I don't know if that was actually the intention of the rogues or if it was just to get Gia to scream so

we would all come out here. Regardless, when the moon rises tonight, she will either shift or she'll.. " I

trail off, closing my eyes as I take a deep breath, trying to control my emotions.

" Or she'll die. " Kai whispers, finishing what I couldn't say making me nod.

" It's fine, Jack, it's fine. I'm your mate so my chances are higher, I'll be fine. " Gia insists, her skin is

clammy and pale, not making her words seem like they have any truth to them at all.

" Gia you don't get it, I wasn't the one who bit you. Your chances only go up if I was the one who bit

you. " He cries, smoothing back her blood and sweat matted hair from her face.

Lifting my head, I look around to see the warriors have now all shifted back and are standing around

with worried, sorrowful expressions as they watch their Alpha cradling their Luna.

Taking a breath, I push myself up off the ground. " Someone go and inform the pack healers what's

happened and that your Luna is on her way. " I demand, looking around at them, they all just stare at

me for a couple of seconds, wondering if they should be taking orders from anyone who isn't their

Alpha, but a woman among the group shifts into her wolf, taking off through the woods.

" Jack. " I call out, gaining his attention. " Pick your mate up and bring her to get treatment so she has

the best possible chance of getting through this. "

He nods, his face instantly turning to one of determination as picks his mate up into his arms and

marches in the same direction the female warrior went just moments ago. Kai and I follow behind him

and his warriors until we reach the hospital, where Jen is running around with a couple of nurses and

other healers, setting up everything they can to help their Luna.

As we walk toward the hospital, Kai stops me right as I feel a warm liquid running over my lips. Lifting

my hand, I brush my fingers over face, when I pull my hand back, it's coated in blood.

" Are you okay my darling? " He asks, his eyes brimming with worry.

" Yeah, yeah I'm fine. " I shrug it off and try to continue walking, only for him to stop me again.

" No, you're not Cori, You're bleeding profusely from your nose. " He argues.

" I'm fine. " I scoff, only to regret it when I burst into a coughing fit that results in me vomiting up blood.

" You're fine? You think that this is fine? " Kai fumes, pointing toward the blood splattered across my

hand, arm and the ground.

" Look, I just took down a bunch of rogues by fire. Some spells can take their toll, right now I just need

to make sure Gia survives this alright? " I huff, marching off in the direction that Jack and his warriors

went.

Kai sighs but follows anyway. " Please just get checked by the doctor later on? Please? " He begs, I

mumble an agreement just as we reach the hospital.

Gia is immediately rushed through a pair of double doors to be looked after and it only takes a few

minutes for Jack to be kicked out into the waiting room with Kai, the warriors and I for snapping at the

doctors.

Eventually the warriors leave to tend to their duties, but I stay planted on my seat across from Jack.

Who as the hours pass by gets more and more anxious, shaking his leg rapidly when he is seated,

pacing the room when he gets fed up of being seated and consistently running his hand either down his

face or through his hair.

The entire time, I don't say anything to him, knowing there is nothing I could say to ease his panic. Kai

makes trips to and from the house to check on me, or bring us water and snacks and at one point my

oversized knitted cardigan when he went to hold my hand and realised I was cold.

The double doors to the reception area swing open revealing a very tired but pleased looking Jen, Jack

and I both jump to our feet, rushing over to her. " Okay so we stopped the wound from bleeding, got her

stabilised, replaced the blood she lost and got plenty of fluids into her, she seems to be in much better

shape and hopefully that will mean she's strong enough to survive the bite. Throughout the time of the

moon rising and it fully reaching it's apex, her body will start attempting to shift, as you know, but it

would help if there's a calm environment and something there to talk her through it. " Jen explains to

the two of us, we both nod along as she does.

" Can I see her? " Jack breathes, glancing through the glass on the double doors.

" Of course Alpha, right this way. " Jen smiles, pushing open the doors and leading us toward Gia's

room, which Jack barges into straight away but Jen stops me in the hallway.

Turning my head to look at her, I furrow my eyebrows. " What? " Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

" Do you really think battling rogues is the best idea in your condition? " She asks, raising an eyebrow. "

Come on, I'm going to check on you and baby before you go into see the Luna. "
