I written simple rewrite rule with mod_redirection.

Just open your .htaccess file from your root folder and following code in that.

#Replace ?wordpressapi\.com/ with your blog url
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?wordpressapi\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
#Replace /images/nohotlink.jpg with your "don't hotlink" image url
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpg [L]

dont forget to replace your blog name.
