My Hunted Mate

Corinna

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.
