My Hunted Mate

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.

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
