My Hunted Mate novel Chapter 33

Corinna

Awkwardly, I shift in my chair next to Kai as we wait for the last couple of people to enter the room and find their seats. A million thoughts rush through my head as I take in the large numbers of vampires in front of me, I had seen many in the house but a lot of them were new faces.

" We have other houses on land I own. " Kai mutters to me.

" How do you keep tabs on everyone? " I whisper back to him.

" I have a handful of people who I trust to watch over each house, they come to me with updates and then of course there's this meeting. " He explains.

I nod. " So you have like an inner circle? "

" I suppose you could call it that. " His eyes scan over the crowd in front of us, then with a sharp nod of his head he tells me it's time to start the meeting.

He stands to address his clan. " Okay let's get to business, can the representatives from each house come forward. "

Immediately I recognise two familiar faces walking towards us, Darius and Sabine. I stay silently seated as I watch an Asian woman with long black hair that she had cut into bangs at the front of her perfectly structured face, her big brown eyes almost looked golden, she had a small smirk set on her plump lips as she approached us.

" Darius, Sabine, Cleo, it's nice to see you again. " Kai greets them.

" And what of me? " A voice calls, gaining my attention.

An extremely tall Latin man with light brown hair with what look like arrows shaven into the sides, the long patch of hair on top of his head he had gelled back neatly. His emerald green eyes stood out brightly against his tanned skin, his grin showed off his perfectly straight teeth and dimples.

" Mateo! It's been a while my friend. " Kai grins, shaking his hand while patting his arm lightly.

" I suppose this is your wolf beloved everyone seems to be babbling about? " Another voice interrupts just as I think everyone is here.

My eyes scan the tall slender black haired woman as she struts over to us, her heels clicking loudly against the stone floor. Her hazel eyes watch me through her thick lashes, one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows arches as she takes me in, her bone structure is strong and defined and I suddenly can't help the feeling of insecurity that takes over me.

Pushing through it, I stand and hold my hand out to her. " Corinna and you are? " I introduce myself.

Her plump lips coated in red lipstick purse, she gives me a once over before taking my hand. " Farrah. "

Kai clears his throat, gaining my attention just in time to see him shift on his feet nervously. Oh god, seriously? I narrow my eyes at him accusingly, the guilt that flashes through his eyes briefly answers my thoughts on if he'd also slept with the flawless dark haired woman before us.

" Oh I'm also a witch. " I randomly state, not knowing why I suddenly felt the need to seem powerful.

" What? " Farrah questions with amused eyes.

" You said wolf beloved, but it would be correct to say your hybrid beloved. " I inform, noting the amusement in her eyes turning to shock.

A break out of mummers can be heard throughout the room, now making me realise every vampire here could hear every word of the exchange that had just happened. Well I guess they had to find out at some time or another.

My gaze falls on Malakai who doesn't seem too fazed by the announcement of my status, instead he moves toward me and wraps his arm around my waist. " Okay any over all issues in any of the houses that we should know about? "

" We are still having issues with that group of wolves lingering around our border. " Darius speaks up, his words cause my heart rate to pick up slightly.

Sabine nods her head. " Us too, they seem to be going back and forth between the borders closest to each house. "

" Any idea as to why? " Kai questions, his eyebrows furrowed.

" None. " Darius answers.
