My Hunted Mate novel Chapter 46

Corinna

Kai sits at his desk, scribbling things with his pen whole he talks on the phone, I barely register his voice as I chant softly from the office floor, where I sit surrounded by mountains of jewellery belonging to the members of the clan.

To keep things organised, each item has a small tag attached to it with the owners name on it. As the flames fade in the bowl in front of me, I pick out the ring inside and place it into a tub filled to the brim with already spelled jewellery.

" You need anything my darling? Food, water? Rest? Help? " Kai speaks, after placing the phone back down.

" Well if you could get someone to collect those tubs and give people back their belongings that would be great. " I tell him, gesturing to the three tubs I've filled with protection talismans.

He nods, dialling a number into the phone while I continue what I was doing. Over the last week, this is what our days have looked like. Kai handles any business to do with the clan, while I sit making protection talismans.

After the first day, we realised it was too messy for me to do all of this in the bedroom and we both couldn't focus being away from each other for that many hours. So I moved to his office so we could be in each other's company while we did what we have to do.

" Oh my darling, we're going to have that family feast after all. " Kai informs me after he asks someone to report to his office.

" What? Why? Everyone already knows I'm pregnant. " I pout, looking down at my bump that keeps getting bigger every week. Supernatural pregnancies tend to go much quicker than a human pregnancy, we only end up being pregnant for six months instead of nine.

" Think of it as a celebratory dinner for the baby than an announcement dinner. " He smiles, moving away from his desk to sit in front of me on the floor.

" So it's like a baby shower dinner thingy? " I mumble, awkwardly picking myself off of the floor to lay across the sofa.

Kai picks up my legs, setting himself down on the sofa before allowing me to throw my feet onto his lap as his places a hand on my stomach, rubbing my bump affectionately. " Yeah, a baby shower dinner thing, I'll tell people to bring gifts, we can get dressed up and have a nice dinner. "

" Dressed up? " I question with a scowl, eyeing the light grey sweat pants that belonged to him, covering my bottom half.

" You don't have anything to wear, do you? " he asks, noticing my gaze.

My eyes start to tear up without my contest. " Nothing fits me anymore. " I sniffle.

" It's okay baby, I'll get someone to bring you shopping for maternity clothes. " He whispers, brining my hand up to his lips.

" Thanks, my love. " I breathe.

" What was that? " He grins, wrapping his arms around me.

A deep blush settles on my face. " nothing. " I mumble, unsure of where the pet name came from.

" I like it, my love. " He leans over pecking my lips.

Before he can move away, I wrap my hands around his neck, pulling him back to me. My lips move with his slowly, I let out a sigh of pleasure at the feeling of him being so close, how he smells, how he tastes.
