My Hunted Mate novel Chapter 41

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.
