“Hey,” she smiled, but not at me. At the M’Mori. “I’m so glad to see you.” I felt happy at her words, she must trust this male. I would do my best to accept this male, but it would be hard, for many males. I watched as he came in close, Jaim and Aalee watching him like the enemy had just entered their hut, confusion on my littermate’s face. I shook my head. I didn’t need words. He would see for himself.
Hadley’s mates moved her to sit up a little and were very happy to see him. They expressed their thoughts at this. I could see now he was a respected member of Clan Wolf, and Jaim relaxed a little. But Aalee, he moved further away. He had it worse than either of us. The M’Mori made an example of him, breaking all his bones when he tried to escape. He held deep scars, ones that I couldn’t see and I didn’t know how to help him with. Maybe Hadley would help him, bring back the Aalee I knew before the M’Mori.
“Hadley, how do you feel?” K’Tem asked her as he moved to sit opposite to her, raising the device in his hands. I watched as he talked to her about her fall, nodding at her words as she talked. He smiled, and I took a step back at the sight of his teeth. So sharp. Those of a meat eater.
“All is well. I have compared the scan to the first one I took and everything is well. Growing well.” I wanted to look at this thing he did. How did he see her kits? How many was she expecting? I couldn’t contain my excitement at the thought of her carrying life within her belly.
“How many kits are you expecting?” I asked Hadley, moving closer to see if I could see them just from looking at her. I knew they were carried in the female’s belly, but I was curious to how many, and how did she become with kit so fast? The human females had not been here that long. It took many years before mated Aashi females were with kits.
“I’m having a surprise. Only K’Tem knows.” She smiled up at me, her eyes crinkled lightly at the corners. It made me happy to see her smile like that at me. A surprise. Oh, I hope the Goddess blesses her with four healthy kits.
“I am very excited to be considered a chosen mate and welcome the kits. I was always very good with the young at Clan Yaayi. I was excited to be picked by the queen as a Chosen male for Brooklyn. I was dreaming of the day I could meet the kits of my mate. I would teach them how to climb, run…” I stopped speaking as I watched a tear roll down Hadley’s face. She wiped it away, yet her smile was not the same, the crinkles now left her eyes. I had upset her.
“I am so sorry to have spoken out of turn, Hadley. I don’t know where my manners have gone.” Jaim’s wide eyes watched the interaction. My litter brother Aalee was so ashamed of my talking out of turn he wouldn’t even look at me now. I got down on my knees, my head hung low as I heard the females now speaking with each other. They spoke so fast I couldn’t understand through the translator.
“Adee, you didn’t speak out of turn. I just was a little stunned at you wanting to still be my mate after knowing I’m with baby… kit. One that you have not fathered.”
I didn’t understand this “not fathered.” What did that mean? Both her mates would be fathers of the kits. Was this her way of telling me I would never be chosen by her? Vetok quickly explained to her that most mated males would never father a kit, that it was the first mate’s seed that produced the kits, but all mates were the father. I nodded, glad that was not her not wanting me, but then Brooklyn burst into tears and I wasn’t sure what had happened. I glared over to the M’Mori Had he upset her? Her mate, Tiji, was glaring at me from beside her. I didn’t understand what I did at all. I didn’t even say anything to her to make her cry, I hadn’t even spoken to her.
“I have spoken out of turn and made the beautiful females cry. I am sorry, please forgive me,” I begged them all. Jaim was beside me, unsure on what to do as he fussed with his hands. Then, the female Elle started to cry and I realized then I would not make a good mate. I only made females sad. I must learn not to speak out of turn if there ever was a chance of another female considering me as a mate.
I rushed out the hut and grabbed my spear. I needed to stay away from them all. I only made them cry. I didn’t want to see tears, I wanted to see Hadley’s dazzling smile.
“Adee,” I heard called out. But I couldn’t face her. I didn’t want to cause them any more pain. I rushed forward and called out to the male pinned to the ground.
“Wolf?” I questioned. Two males who had pinned a third down on the ground growled at them before turning to me.
“I’m Clan Wolf.”
“This is not your fight, we will have the females,” the two males called out, threatening me. No, they wouldn’t. Even if I couldn’t have Hadley, I knew these males would never deserve a female like her. I leaped forward and brought my spear down on one of the outcast male’s back. It didn’t go deep enough to kill him, but it had him letting go of the Clan Wolf male, making the fight fairer between him and the other outcast male.
“You will die for this.” This male had no weapons. He clutched his back as he hissed at me. I was still at an advantage. He was bigger, but had this male worked in the mines? Had he developed more strength? No. But I had. I was stronger.
I took my spear and ran it through his chest before he even knew what was happening. He gripped it as if he could stop it from sliding through his flesh. But I knew how to kill, I was a trained warrior from Clan Yaayi. I raised the end of my spear that was now deep within him, piercing more of his organs, watching him gasp his last breaths, the light fading from his eyes. I didn’t like to kill, it was not something I enjoyed. But to keep the females safe, my clansmen safe, I had to end this male. Before he collapsed I used my foot to push him off my spear. He fell to the ground, unmoving, and unable to heal from such a wound.
If I couldn’t make Hadley happy, I knew I could do one thing right. Protect her and her kits until my dying breath.
I turned on my heel, my spear raised high. I was ready to kill again.
Chapter Seven
Hadley
It had been four days since the huge fight broke out. There were so many males injured, some dead, on both sides. It was heartbreaking. We cried for the fallen Wolves. I didn’t know the males who died personally, but it still hurt that they had died for us. To stop these males from taking us. None of the girls’ mates had died. But Rion and Koh had been injured. Jessica was beside herself with Koh. He was still healing.
Brooklyn healed Rion in the best way. My mates had told me how she made his healing quicken after she gave him blow jobs. Then Jaka told me he hurt his leg… I just laughed at him and told him that he was such a cheeky faker. He laughed with me, and then I gave him a blow job, just in case it worked. No harm in trying. He made sure I got off as well… many times, to speed up my healing. I may have spread the word about that. And all the girls were getting healed, even if they weren’t injured.
Clan Wolf and Clan Freedom had set up a line of defense around the huts, but most of the outcast males had run away days ago and no one had seen them since. Soon, Clan Taanin would be moving into this area. I didn’t like the sound of that. K’Tem had found them some lands farther south, away from us. I was glad because I didn’t want a repeated war over females. This was such a great spot for a clan, but with too many it would be crowded and we would run out of food and water too fast.
I heard the other clans were now moving. They had human females. I really wanted to speak with them, to make sure they were okay, but I couldn’t do anything until they were closer. We had Aashi out there letting the clans know we didn’t want to take the females, only offer support to them. I didn’t want them angry with us, especially as we all left the clans to start our own. I wanted the clans to be okay with us offering friendship and support. Because out here… you needed all the support you could get. And it was always easier when someone understood your needs.
I hadn’t seen Adee or Aalee since the strange emotional cry session in the hut. How could I not cry over that? Adee was born to be a father. You could see the way his face lit up. I didn’t understand wh
y he was okay with the fact I was knocked up by other males. I was just curious more than anything. I think mainly because if he was a human guy he would have run for the hills. Or in this case, mountains.
I didn’t mean to set the girls off. Brooklyn, well I understood why she was crying. She didn’t pick him and he was one of her Chosen—I think she got the best bunch of chosen then the rest of us—but he had all these dreams of raising these babies with her and it never happened. That would be so hard, thinking you were this close, only to have it ripped away, then taken by the bad M’Mori and forced to be a slave. Jaim had told me some of what had happened when K’Tem was taking the tracker off his ankle.
I didn’t want to think about any of it anymore. Now that my ankle was healed, all I wanted was a bath and my mates to cheer me up under the waterfall. Elle had already tried it out… I was a little worried at first, but the water flowed quite fast and she promised me that it would take at least five minutes for anything to wash past the camp and that she would stand watch and make sure no one drank the water. Eeww. That was so gross, to think of someone not knowing. So waterfall sex was gonna be something talked about, just in case. I didn’t want to be drinking it. Ugh, even thinking about it was gross. I still wanted to do it though.
I never had sex under a waterfall before. I was excited to try something new, and Vetok was actually excited to get under the water. We hadn’t really had sex in weeks. Other things? Yes. But no sex, and I really needed this. I needed some wild, crazy lovemaking, and I hoped someone was out there to see us. I liked to be watched.
“Come, my mate, let’s take you to the fall of water so I can lick your pussy.” My body swayed towards Vetok. I was wet already. I gave him a wicked grin. Dirty Aashi male, I taught him well. I was glad the translator was waterproof or I would have had a hard time understanding everything he said.
I grabbed his tails and pulled… hard. I watched as his face changed and he groaned, grabbing his cock with his lower left hand.
“Jaka, come now. Our mate is impatient.” I watched as Vetok tried to walk towards the waterfall and he couldn’t without groaning again as I reached up to the base of his tails.
There were some Aashi and a blue Zalli watching us. One of them laughed at the way I was teasing my poor Vetok’s tail, but I also saw the longing in their eyes, wishing that it was their tails being held.
“Jaka,” I called again, and he emerged from the hut, Jaim following him out. We had been staying in his hut. I still wanted to consider him as a mate, but it was hard when I wanted all three of them if it was to work. But Adee and Aalee were avoiding me so I wasn’t able to get to know them. I only knew stuff about them from Jaim.
I didn’t want to break up their friendship by choosing Jaim and not the other two, and I think he knew this. He talked about their friendship, and every time I asked he would tell me about them. I felt like I knew about them, but it was hard to really know someone if I didn’t speak to them. Or see them. Actions spoke louder than words with me, and I needed to see them both to make a decision. If I was to move on and find other willing males, or to wait out whatever happened to have them avoid me like this. It couldn’t have just been the crying.
I watched as Jaim’s eyes widened at where I was holding Vetok. He stumbled forward slightly and corrected himself before smiling shyly and waving to me. I giggled at the sight. He was so innocent and cute and I really had started falling for him the last few days, so I really hoped the other two would come around and stop this avoidance thing.
Jaka swept me off my feet and into his arms. I let go of Vetok’s tails as he let out a deep groan. Jaka made a sound of excitement as he started running from Vetok. “Hey,” I crossed my arms and pouted at him playfully. Jaka just chuckled and I could feel it rumble through his chest. I placed my hand over his heart and sighed. I loved him so much.
“You were going to have your mate spilling seed in front of those males. I didn’t want to wait anymore. My mate needs to be taken care of. I will do that for you with my mouth.”
Okay… now I didn’t think I would make it to the waterfall at this rate with his dirty talk. I wanted him to put me down and have his wicked way with me right here. Because if Jaka had one skill he was the best at, it was oral sex. He could have me coming within ten seconds with his tongue alone. I wanted, and needed, that right now. I was horny as fuck and I was going to have my wicked way with him.
Under the waterfall it was cool and refreshing and it may have calmed me a little. I needed to cool down, and so did my mates. I did have to coax them both into the water—it wasn’t that deep, but it was too much for Aashi. It came just to my waist. The water lapped at my little belly bump and it made me smile knowing all was well. Nothing bad happened to my babies.
It was funny watching poor Vetok standing in the water. His cock was huge and against his belly, but he held his hands up like the water would bite him. Jaka wasn’t any better as he very slowly waded out to me. When they got to me, they looked scared. I tried to soothe them with my hands on their chests, stroking the soft skin over their hard muscles.
I felt eyes on me that weren’t my mates. I wasn’t expecting this to be completely private and I was hoping some eyes would find us. I loved the thrill of being caught when I was back on Earth and here I felt the same. The thrill of someone getting off on watching me be pleased, or me pleasing someone—either way—it turned me on, and I always had the most intense orgasms knowing I had an audience.
“My mate, my heart.” Vetok stroked my wet hair from my face and pushed it behind my ear. His hot breath skated over my ear as he whispered closely, “They watch from the trees. They watch your beautiful body.” His hot tongue dipped out and traced a trail from the shell of my ear to my throat as he cupped my breast in his hand. I moaned and pushed my chest harder to his hand, I wanted more… I needed more.
“Jaka.” I reached behind and found one of his hands reaching out to me. I pulled him closer, his bare chest touching my back before I felt the hard length of his cock nestled between my ass cheeks. I loved to feel his cock, so long… hard, and all mine to please me in any way I wanted.
I rested my head against Jaka’s chest and that gave Vetok all he needed to kiss and lick his way down to my sensitive nipples. Being pregnant, that was something new and sometimes it felt like too much. But right now it was perfect as he swirled his tongue around my hard nipples and I felt the pleasure between my legs, I was so wet. I rubbed them together to gain more friction. Fuck… it had been too long since I had fucked them.
“Jaka…” I purred as I reached up to cup his jaw, pulling him down to my waiting lips. One of his hands traveled up my back and into the nape of my hair, pulling slightly and making me groan into his hot mouth. He took my mouth with a fever, taking all he could and giving me more in return. Rubbing his cock against my ass was turning me on… One day. One day soon I would let him take me there. His lower arms held me tightly, and I felt his tails wrapping around my thigh in a possessive way.
There were so many hands and Vetok moved his down to my wet center, brushing over my clit in such a way that had me humming and cursing him at the same time. I needed more… I wanted to come so bad. I reached out and gripped his hair in my hand, his face lifting and eyes catching mine with that little hint of teasing he got when he knew I was close and he was denying me.
“I will lick my female’s pussy, show the other males what they are missing.”
Before I could tell him to fuck me, Vetok and Jaka had lifted me high enough that my pussy was above the water and Vetok moved like a man possessed, his tongue swiping over my clit. I shivered at the sudden intense pleasure. My hand gripping his hair tightly, even though I knew they both had me, I still worried I would fall and couldn’t fully relax.
Jaka’s hands, and specifically his thumbs, moved to my breasts and nipples, doing magic work there as he swallowed my moans with his mouth. He nipped my bottom lip gently and I hissed out at the pleasure before my back arched an
d I was coming, my full body trembling.
“My mate, come for me on my tongue. Let me taste your sweet center,” Vetok growled out as he stroked his cock faster. I felt his fingers enter me, hooking up to my G-spot. His mouth now sucking hard on my clit, I rode out another orgasm. I didn’t even have enough time to come down from the first, gasping for air and feeling sated as he grunted out his own release. I watched as rope after rope of cum washed down the river towards camp.
I gave Vetok a lazy smile and winked at him. He chuckled before glancing to the left, in the trees there. My eyes tracked his and I watched as a dark purple Aashi climbed higher into the tree. I wondered if we knew that one.
Vetok helped me turn in Jaka’s hands so now I was straddling Jaka. I loved this position. I loved how he could hold me up with his lower arms and still stroke my nipples and pull my hair. I exposed my neck to Jaka. He ran his tongue up as I wiggled over him, trying to seat myself on his hard shaft. I felt his chest rumble as he chuckled at how impatient I was being.
“Hadley, my heart, I need some time. I want to last a long time so you can come around my cock many times, but if we mate now I won’t last long enough to give you more than one orgasm,” Jaka whispered. I knew he wanted to make me come a lot, but I was so horny, so worked up, that I didn’t want to wait, couldn’t wait, to feel his cock fill me from deep within. One orgasm would be perfect if it was with his cock in me.
“Fuck me, Jaka. Fuck me hard.”
Chapter Eight
Jaka
“Fuck me, Jaka. Fuck me hard.”
My beautiful mate, her skin wet and silky from the fall of water. She was growling her need for my cock inside her. Her pale face was now flush with pink from her two orgasms, but she was greedy, my Hadley. She needed many of them to be completed in mating. I tried to give her as many as I could with Vetok. I could never tire from giving her pleasure with my mouth and cock, but I was glad she was considering the new males here at Clan Freedom as mates.
