My Hunted Mate

Chapter Twenty Eight

Corinna

Sighing I snap the book I'm reading closed, turning my head on Kai's stomach to look up at him but the

cover of a book is blocking my view. Sitting up, I grab his book tossing it to the side, his eyebrow rise in

reaction to my actions.

" Something wrong? " He asks.

Something was wrong, I hadn't shifted in just over a week ago at Dahlia's party and I was getting antsy.

I never liked being out of touch with my wolf for too long, It made unwelcome and unhelpful emotions

bubble within me until they exploded and that was usually very ugly.

" Let's go out today. " I demand.

" Okay. " Kai chuckles. " Where would you like to go? "

" I don't know, anywhere, everywhere. Somewhere I can shift because if I haven't ran around on four

paws by the end of the day, I think I'll lose my mind and trust me you don't wanna deal with me in that

state. " I rant.

" So we'll go out, there's plenty of land around. " He tells me, jumping out of bed.

My eyes scan his half naked body as he walks over to his closet, he disappears inside for a couple of

seconds, reappearing with black skinny jeans covering his legs and an unbuttoned short sleeve navy

shirt revealing his torso to me.

He zips the zipper on his pants, buttoning them closed then his eyes meet mine. " You coming? "

Pulling my bottom lip into my mouth, I nod, awkwardly scurrying out of the bed and into my room where

I dress myself in a floral off the shoulder sundress that falls just above my knees, leaving my feet bare

and my hair to freely fall in blonde waves down to my waist.

Kai meets me in the hallway and we walk downstairs with our hands intertwined. A couple of people

greet us as we walk by but two people stop us from walking out onto the porch when they call Malakai's

name.

We both turn to find a black man and woman, both have golden brown eyes and identical features.

Twins. The man begins to converse with Kai, as he ties his dreads up out of his face. I look over at the

woman who studies me intently, her auburn hair is in neat braids that fall down just past her full

breasts, her plump lips have a deep shade of red lipstick coating them, other than that and a small

amount of mascara, there's no other trace of any makeup, not that she needed it with her high This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

cheekbones and stunning features. She's a couple of inches taller than me and sends me a small grin

showing off her perfect teeth.

" Hi, I'm Sabine. You're Mal's Beloved right? " She greets.

" Yeah, I'm Corinna. It's nice to meet you. " I give her an awkward smile, she holds out her hand which I

quickly shake.

" Sorry to stop you guys on your way out, my brother Darius insisted he talk business now. " Sabine

apologises.

" Oh, it's no problem. What business if you don't mind me asking. " My eyes flickering over to my mate

and Darius who have walked over to the corner of the room beside the pool table.

" It's nothing to worry about, just a couple of wolves lingering around the borders of our land. " She

informs me.

My heart rate picks up. " Wolves? How many? "

She gives me a look of curiosity but answers anyway. " The same group, only about seven or eight of

them. "

I nod. " Any idea where they came from? "

Sabine shakes her head, looking more suspicious of me by the second. " No, no clue. "

Malakai and Darius walk back over to us, Kai wraps his arm around my waist. " Okay thanks again

Darius, let me know if there's anything else. We'll hold that meeting this week. " He finishes up his

conversation then turns to me. " You ready? "

I nod to him then turn back to the twins in front of us. " It was lovely meeting you Sabine. " I tell her,

with a smile.

" Yeah, you too. " She says but there's something in her eyes that screams that she doesn't trust me

and makes me think otherwise.

Malakai says a quick goodbye to them, then leads me out of the house and garden. He sends me a

grin, watching me intently as I begin to lift my dress over my head. I shove his arm with a blush on my

face, making him laugh.

" You've never been shy before. " he teases.

" Shut up. " By now my face is bright red. " You've never stared at me like this before. It's creepy "

He holds his hands up in surrender, averting his gaze. I lift the dress up and over my head, dropping it

at my feet leaving my bare body completely exposed. When I look back up at him, his eyes are hungrily

taking in my body.

Biting my lip, I take a couple steps in front of him then shift into my wolf, immediately taking off in a

sprint. He runs after me, the two of us running so fast that to anyone around his we were just two

colourful blurs.

Yipping happily, I slow my pace down to a trot as we approach the lake. Kai calls out to me as I

casually stroll into the water until I'm full submerged under it, I shift back, poking my head out of the

water to see him standing there with worried eyes than relax when they meet mine.

" You coming or are you just gonna stand there? " I call out to him with a smirk on my face.
