My Hunted Mate

Chapter Fourty Three

Corinna

The clouds in the sky that burst with colour, fade much too quickly into darkness for the liking of anyone

here before I knew it, I find myself standing out in the back of the pack house with Alpha Jack, Gia,

Cameron, Garrett, Kai and our group from the clan.

We all stand around in silence, waiting for what's about to happen to Gia, the only sounds around us

are crickets chirping, owls hooting and the wind rustling the leaves on the tall trees beyond the clearing.

Everyone flinches when Gia lets out a loud pitched scream, falling to the ground on her hands and

knees with a thud, staying as calm as possible, I kneel down in front of her, whispering to her,

reminding her that she has support around her and the strength to get through this.

As the minutes pass Gia's body temperature starts to go up, showing through the sweat marking her

shirt and lining her forehead. She lets out another scream of pain, unable to hold herself up as she falls

onto her side, the panic rolls off of Jack in waves in response to this.

" Jack, you need to remain calm. " I remind him, grabbing a cloth from a bowl of ice water we have

brought outside with a couple of other supplies, dabbing it across Gia's flushed face. " She doesn't

need to be feeling any strong emotions that aren't hers as her senses heighten. "

Again, another ear numbing scream is released from Gia as she begins to twist around on the ground,

trying to fight the pain. I hear Jack let out a curse as his mate, starts to cry, begging for someone to

make the pain stop.

" Jack, listen to me, you need to go inside and get your shit together. " I say, although my words are

harsh, my tone remains level and calm. The entire time, I keep my eyes only on Gia, but I hear the

struggle between Phoenix, Mateo and Garrett to get Jack inside until he's calm enough to be here.

" It's too much Rina. " Gia cries, hugging her arms around herself as she begins to shake. " I'm too hot,

everything hurts. "

" You're okay, just breathe. " I mumble, grabbing a bottle of cold water and unscrewing the lid.

Lifting the bottle over Gia's head, I shield her eyes with my free hand, pouring the water onto her

forehead and allow it to fall over her hair, wetting it in hopes the cool air and water will help with her

temperature.

I bring the bottle to her lips afterward, letting her take a huge gulp from it before I put the lid back on. A

loud crack cuts through the air, followed by Gia screaming once again, her voice breaks as she does.

She screws her eyes shut taking deep pants of breath, when she reopens her eyes the flick from a

glowing pastel green, to her normal hazel colour and continue to do so as more of her bones break.

" I'm too hot! " She screams, I frantically turn to the others who are all standing around watching with

either pained or freaked out expressions. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Realising they won't be much help, I lean over, gripping the hem of Gia's shirt and yoga pants, tearing

them off of her body. Moving as quickly as I can, I grab the bowl of ice water throwing it over her half

naked form.

She lets out a brief gasp of relief but it's cut off by another scream and snap of her bones. " Go get

more bowls of ice water. " I demand, not to anyone in particular from the group behind me, I'm relieved

when I hear footsteps taking off immediately.

" Fuck! This is too much! " Gia roars as multiple snaps of bone follow one another the other.

" You're doing really well, you just have to keep breathing through it. " I inform her, lifting the bottle of

water to her lips again, she gulps down some of it, but most ends up dribbling around her face and the

last bit of water, I use to re-wet her hair.

" I can't! " She sobs, desperately grabbing at the dirt beneath her and repeated the words over and

over again.

" Okay, uh, fuck. " I curse under my breath, just as Sabine runs up with more ice water, I nod my head

toward Gia and she instantly tosses the water over her body.

Pushing down my panic, I look up at Cameron. " I need you to go get your Alpha. " I tell him.

Worry floods his eyes as he takes off running to the house, returning with Jack, who seems a little

calmer but extremely pained by the situation. " There's a spell I can do, to ease her pain, I think that's

how she'll get through this. " I tell him.

" Then do it! " Jack growls, making me narrow my eyes at him.

" The issue is, is that for me to take her pain, I need to transfer it into someone else. I assume you'll be

willing to do that? " I ask, he nods straight away, dropping down beside me.

" Alpha, are you sure about this? " Garrett questions, looking wary of me.

" Garrett, shut the fuck up. " Jack snarls, before turning to me. " What do I have to do? "

" Move on to her other side and give me your hands. " I order, he quickly does as he's asked.

Taking Jack's hands in mine, I close my eyes and begin to chant. The wind picks up, howling around

us, as Gia pants harshly mumbling that it's not as painful at the same time Jack tenses up and he

groans in pain.

Keeping my eyes closed, I zone out from everything around me and into the harsh wind, continuing to

chant for hours until I feel a hand on my shoulder and a voice calling to me, when I open my eyes a

golden wolf with red paws and glowing pastel green eyes is picking itself off of the ground and Jack

looks completely exhausted but completely overjoyed as he watches his newly transformed mate,

growl at him playfully.

My eyes begin to feel heavy as I see Jack shift into his wolf to run with his mate, I try to stand but end

up falling back into Kai, who catches me with ease and picks me up into his arms, carrying me toward

the house, asking if someone could get a doctor for me.
