My Hunted Mate -
Chapter Twenty Four
Corinna
Anger and disappointment boil through me as I march across the
garden to the gazebo, when I reach it I plop down onto the swing
holding the blanket Phoenix gave me up to my chin as I lay on the
cushions, the wind is strong enough that the bench swings a little
without me having to push it. I can't believe him. I can't believe he
would just walk off and allow innocents to be slaughtered like cattle.
What the hell was wrong with him? I grit my teeth as I sit up, too
agitated to stay laying down. Jumping to my feet I begin to pace back
and forth in front of the bench that continues to swing and squeak as it
does. I had to do something. What the hell was I doing? I couldn't turn
my back on those people too. Huffing I turn to walk back into the
house, but I pause in shock when I find Maria standing in front of me
with a smirk on her blood covered face. " Hello little mutt. * + Leave me
the hell alone. " I grumble, attempting to move past her but she pushes
my shoulder back with such a force that I stumble and fall onto the
bench behind me. Maria laughs at me. * Look at you, so weak. " her
smile quickly fades. " and yet somehow you managed to jam a branch
into my brother's heart. « Her eyes turn black as she strides toward me,
she takes a handful of my hair dragging me to stand up. " But don't
worry, I'm going to make you pay for what you did. « I bite down
roughly on the inside of my cheek when she jams her fangs into my
neck, not wanting to cry out and give her any kind of satisfaction, this
only seems to anger her and she shakes her head back and forth,
causing her fangs to tear into my neck further a deep searing pain splits
through me and I cannot control the loud whimper that slips past my
lips. Screwing my eyes shut tightly, I press my hands against her chest
and begin to chant. Maria begins to cough and gag on my blood, she
pushes me away from her as she begins to cough up any blood she
consumed that belongs in my body. " This is what I did to your brother.
"1 tell her, my voice hoarse. « I made the blood he feasted feel like acid,
burning through his organs until he all he could do was simply puke it
back up. " she pushes me away from her as she begins to cough up any
blood she consumed that belongs in my body. « This is what I did to
your brother. « I tell her, my voice hoarse. « I made the blood he feasted
feel like acid, burning through his organs until he all he could do was
simply puke it back up. « She struggles to breathe as she continues to
cough up any blood she consumed tonight. I twist my wrist.
Immediately her bones begin to snap, her screams fill the night air as I
watch her emotionless. I rub my fingers together and chant, watching
as she falls to her knees and her skin begins to wrinkle. « What-what are
you doing to me! « she screams, looking at her hands in horror. « I'm
making you age. The way those humans would have if you didn't
murder them. « I mumble, not breaking eye contact with her. At this
moment any type of feeling I had was gone. any emotion was gone. I
didn't care. I just felt nothing. I didn't feel guilty as I watch the pain I
was inflicting, I was just doing what I wanted to do. I wave both of my
hands, chanting once more, chanting louder when her body erupts into
flames and she screams and begs for me to stop. body erupts into
flames and she screams and begs for me to stop. * Cori! " Kai's voice
calls out. " Go away. « I tell him, not looking forward him. "Cori, please
listen to me. " He tries to reason. " No! " I shout, the flames covering
Maria's body rise higher and burn more intensely at my anger. " I will
not listen to you because you didn't listen to me! And then she came
out here and she attacked me! She was going to kill me! " * Cori.. Look
at me. " Kai speaks lowly, his tone calm. My head whips to the side and
the second my eyes fall on his, tears burn in my eyes. * How could you
just leave them to die Kai? Like they were nothing? THEY WERE PEOPLE.
" « It's okay my darling, it's okay. « He tells me, grabbing hold of me and
pulling me to his body. By now Maria lays on the floor panting, the
effects of my magic wearing off quickly as she heals. I look away from
her, burying my face into Kai's chest. " What did I do? This isn't me! « I
cry. Kai shushes me. " It's alright my darling, everything is alright. Just
breathe. " * Why didn't you help me?" I sob, grasping the material of his
shirt, by now the blanket I was wearing is on the floor covered in blood
from the wound on my neck which is healing slowly but surely. " I'm
sorry, I'm so sorry. Kai mumbles into my hair, pressing a kiss to my
head. " I was being an ass, I'm sorry. " " People died Kai. " I sniffle.
None of the people you tried to save. I stopped them from being
harmed after I realised how much of a dick I was being " He sighs. A
sigh of relief passes my lips. * Thank you. " Maria cries out in anger as
she sprints towards my mate's back, in an attempt to catch him off
guard. I push him to the side, holding my palms out and screaming
loudly. A large burst of energy courses through the air, making the
trees shake and Maria fly through the air. I fall to the ground, gasping
for breath. all I hear is Kai cursing as the world around me turns black.
