My Hunted Mate

Chapter Fifty

Corinna

During the car ride home, Dahlia and Lila remain quietly holding hands in the front while Kai explains to

me that eight days have passed since I was taken, he searched for me nonstop, even tried tracking my

scent but had no luck, until he received a random text message from an unknown number saying

where he could find me.

I did have a mind to voice the possibility that Olive could have been the one behind the message but

instead I stay quiet, as silence falls over us, I can't help but place a hand on my bump and think the

worst.

The entire drive I've attempted to keep my mind off of it and my eyes off the blood stains on my pants,

but the anxiety I'm feeling is causing me extreme nausea and my heart is aching at the thought of the

worst case scenario, that I can't seem to block out.

After what feels like forever, we finally pull up to the house, the second Kai opens the car door Jen is

running out of the house in scrubs and a lab coat, followed by a man and a woman, both in scrubs, who

I assume are nurses. Another a man in a lab coat also follows. Instead of trying to walk in my state, I

allow Kai to carry me into the house without argument.

Jen leads the way up to my bedroom, where she has set up all sorts of hospital equipment. As soon as

I'm placed down onto my bed, I'm being hooked up to an ECG and having vials of my blood taken and

being asked endless amounts of questions.

Starting to get irritated, I grab hold of one of the nurses arms, pulling him back. " Is my baby okay? " I

question.

The nurse flinches in pain at my tight grip, making me remove my hold and apologise. " It's alright

Corinna, we're going to do an ultrasound right now and check on baby. " Jen interrupts, nodding her

head to the nurse and then tilting it away from us.

The nurse immediately takes the hint and leaves the room. Jen sets up the ultrasound machine, while I

pull my shirt up to reveal my bump, she squirts the cold gel onto my stomach and presses the wand to

my stomach, moving it around a couple of times.

Kai moves around until he is in the bed beside me, gripping onto my hand, his eyes never leaving the

screen in front of us. Jen's eyebrows furrow but then she cracks a wide grin just as the sound of a loud,

fast and strong heartbeat fills the room.

" Your baby is perfectly fine.. I- it's pretty remarkable actually. " Jen says. " I think because of your

baby's only part wolf, it's witch and vampire side was able to fight off the wolfsbane. "

" But the blood? " I question, confusion taking over me.

" Would have been from the wolfsbane weakening your bodies, but baby is all healed up and doing

great now, we'll keep a monitor on the two of you, just to be on the safe side though. " She explains,

sending us both a smile.

My body instantly relaxes against the bed from the relief that fills me. " You need plenty of rest, we're

going to start a drip to wash the wolfsbane from your system completely and it should be gone within

the next couple of hours. "

True to her word, Jen starts a line in my hand to clear the wolfsbane from my system, I sleep for most

of the time, only being woken up when the nurses were checking my blood pressure and taking more

blood to see if they were getting the results they wanted from the drip.

Kai stays beside me the entire time, refusing to leave my side incase anything changed with mine or

the baby's health. By time the next day rolls around, I'm being taken off of the ECG and drip and Jen is

doing another ultrasound, this time giving us pictures of the scan.

" I probably won't be seeing you again until the week you're due, so keep taking it easy and make sure

you call me if there's anything you need. " Jen tells me, as her nurses pack up all of the hospital

equipment they brought with them.

As Kai and I walk Jen and her coworkers out of the house, I thank them all profusely, along with

apologising to the nurse for grabbing his arm. We wait until they've all gotten into their cars and driven

out of the grounds to go back into the house.

Once the front door is shut behind us, Kai turns to me. " Are you sure that you're feeling up to this? "

He questions, rubbing my arms in a soothing manner.

" I'm more than ready, Kai. Where are they? " I growl.

He nods his head and gestures for me to follow him, we wander through the house until we're on the

bottom floor where the auditorium is located, but instead of going through that door, Kai pushes open

one of the heavy grey doors across from it.

We enter a cold, dimly lit room with no windows. The walls are all painted a dark grey but the paint is

old and chipped, the cement floors are covered in plastic, with pools of blood gathered on top of the

plastic and right in the centre of the room, a metal chair is bolted to the ground.

Sitting in the chair is Olive, paler than usual, with her head hanging low, her legs are bolted and

chained to the legs of the chair and her arms are also chained to the arms of the chair.

Her arms have deep cuts on either side, all the way up her arms, with paper clips lodged in the cuts,

Kai explained to me that this is to stop her from healing and to continue to bleed out, keeping her weak

enough so she is unable to break the chains binding her in place. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

When we exit the room holding Olive, we wander to the identical room right next to it, where the only

difference is, instead of Olive being the one bound in the chair, Josephine is replacing her.

" Shut the door. " I demand.
