Chapter Eleven


    Corinna


    " I can''t tell you. " I mumble.


    Mkai''s face drops. " You can tell me, I can protect you Cori. "


    " No Kai, you can''t. " I tell him.


    I don''t need him to protect me, I can do that myself. The problem is I always fail at protecting others,


    people have gotten killed because of me and the guilt of that is too overwhelming, if I added my own J


    " I don''t know you! How could I possibly trust you? " I growl, frustrated that he keeps pushing me.


    " I''m your beloved! " He shouts.


    " Well maybe you shouldn''t be. " I turn away from him.


    Even if I told him the truth, I would have to tell him why my own pack, my own family wants me dead.


    Why would he be any different? How could be possibly want me as his mate? The


    thing that unbnces nature. The abomination. He wouldn''t want me if he knew what I was.


    " When you clean up you may use the room across the hall. There will be clothing left out for you. "


    Mkai''s voice is cold and distant when he speaks.


    Not answering him, I keep stay facing the bath which is now full while he leaves the room. I jump


    slightly when he ms the door behind him, I lean over and turn off the water and then slowly get into


    the bath, giving my body time to adjust to the heat. The brief thought that I haven''t locked the door


    else would be in his room anyway.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Sighing in relief, I lower myself toy down in the hot water so that only my face is above the surface. I


    close my eyes for a couple of minutes, only opening them when I hear the door click open, when I do I


    see Josephine ring down at me. I go to sit up, but she pushes me back down with her hand wrapped


    around my neck tight enough that I struggle to breathe.


    " I don''t know what the hell you are, but I''m not going to let some mutt stroll in here and steal Mal from


    me. Beloved or not. " She whispers harshly, my eyes widen when she tightens her hold on me.


    " Let.. Go " I wheeze out.


    Her eyes start to turn ck, veins pricking under them. I try to mutter out a spell but she quickly cuts


    me off by shoving me under the water, my body trashes around as I panic, swallowing a mouthful of the


    bath water. I quickly wrap my hands around her wrists, extending my ws and digging them into her


    flesh, blood spills into the bath turning the water crimson.


    She releases me, I immediately sit up in the bath coughing up the water I swallowed and gasping for


    air. " I want you gone. " she hisses, then leaves me alone in the bathroom desperately panting,


    confused and angry about what just happened.


    After rushing to scrub myself, I climb out of the bath and unplug the stopper, letting the bloodced


    water run down the drain. Looking around for a towel, only to find there isn''t one, I walk out into


    Mkai''s room, noticing two towels folded on his bed. I grab one wrapping it around me, running to the


    other room with tears in my eyes to find clothing.


    The room is much more bare but has the sameyout as Mkai''s, only there''s no books on the white


    shelves and a space in the middle where a TV is bolted to the wall, the carpet is white, the walls are


    painted a sky blue and the white bed sheets have small dark blue flowers embroidered on them to


    along with a navy cotton jumper.


    Sniffling, I wipe my tears away before pulling on the underwear and the jumper. I sit myself on the bed


    sliding the socks onto my feet. I stay sitting on the bed staring at the door for a while, my heart still


    racing from the panic I felt. Eventually I grab the bottoms and pull them over my legs, tying them tightly


    around my waist so they won''t fall down.


    On shaking legs I walk over to the door, turning the lock. I pace around the room trying to figure out


    what I''m going to do and what the hell Josephine was talking about. Are she and Mkai in a


    rtionship? Is that what she meant about me stealing him? A pang of disappointment and jealously


    settings in my gut as I think about them together. I can see why he would like her, she is beautiful... On


    the outside at least. She looks like a supermodel, all the while here I am covered in scars, constantly


    filthy, slightly underweight from times when I have to go without eating because I''m either running or


    there''s nothing around for me to hunt.


    Regardless of Josephine''s warning, the right thing for me to do is leave. I can''t stay here, when I stay


    still they find me too easily and I can''t lure them here, to my mate. They''d kill him in front of my eyes


    just to punish me, and to punish him for trying to help me. I can''t destroy the life he has here for


    himself. Besides he''s better off with someone normal, not some half breed and he has that here... With


    Josephine. Another wave of jealousy courses through me.


    Pushing my feelings away, I go to the balcony door, swinging it open. I walk over to the railing, leaning


    over it slightly to look at the drop to the ground, wincing a little when thinking of the possible broken


    ankle I could end up with. I take a deep breath as I carefully climb over the railing, holding onto it for


    support when I''m on the other side.


    Shutting my eyes tightly, I force myself to jump from the balcony, shifting into my wolf mid air, when I


    myself right over the little stream. Once I''m out the gate, I keep running, pushing myself faster and


    faster with each tree I past until everything to either side of me is a blur.
