“Lupe attacked Mother and she told us to run. We got lost in the woods until we found your house,” Syra said.
“Come on, let me get y’all cleaned up,” I said. I took them to the nearest bathroom and placed them in the shower. Eze came into the bathroom with Sabra sleeping in his arms.
“What happened? Are those Asha’s cubs?” he asked.
“Yes, they were roaming in the woods trying to find me. Lupe attacked Asha,” I replied as I scrubbed them.
“I’ll put Sabra in her crib and bring something for them to wear,” Eze replied and left out of the bathroom.
“I think she’s dead. She never came back for us,” Syra said.
“She’s coming back. Maybe she got lost, too. I’ll find her,” I replied.
I dried them off after I cleaned them. Eze came back with two shirts that were too big for them but they didn’t have anything else to wear.
“I’ll call Quanir so he can bring some kids’ clothes on his way home,” Eze said.
“Thank you,” I replied.
“Walk down the hall and you’ll see a big kitchen. Sit at the table and wait for me,” I said and they nodded their heads.
I slammed my fist through the wall and let out a piercing scream.
“She tried to change her life!” I cried and Eze hugged me. “I’m going to kill him. I know Asha’s dead. She would never let her cubs run freely in the woods,” I cried.
“I’ll go look for her, stay here,” Eze said.
“No, she’s my sister,” I replied.
“And you’re my mate. We took an oath and I meant that shit. Your problems are my problems. Feed your nieces and I’ll see what’s going on with Asha,” he said and I hugged him.
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you, too,” he replied.
He pulled away from me and we left the bathroom and went to the front door. He opened the door and shifted into his saber. He bolted out of the door and seconds later, disappeared into the woods. I went into the kitchen and Syra and Ji-Ji sat at the table with bags under their eyes. Ji-Ji was the baby, she was six years old and Syra was nine years old. Mekah was fourteen years old, the age where males started becoming territorial.
“Will you take care of us if Mother doesn’t come back?” Syra asked.
“Of course, I will,” I said.
“Why did you leave?” Ji-Ji asked.
“So, I could be with my mate,” I replied.
“Is he mean like Koja?” Syra asked.
“No, he’s going to love the both of you the same way I do. You’re in good hands and I promise from this day forward, the two of you are stuck with me. I want you two to meet my daughter after you finish eating,” I said.
“Can she play with us?” Ji-Ji asked.
“Not yet,” I weakly smiled.
I went into the fridge and grabbed a tray of raw bloody meat. I took the plastic off to let them dig in. They growled and choked as they scarfed down their food. I prayed Eze ripped Lupe into pieces!
Eze
T he cub’s footprints were still fresh as I followed them. I managed to track their scent although I went in a circle a few times because they got lost. It took several hours to find their home but I did. It was night time and I saw a small light on through the window of the cabin. I walked closer to it and smelled something burning. A few feet away from the cabin laid Asha’s remains. Even though she was badly burnt, I could still see half her face. The front door squeaked open and heavy footsteps came down the stairs. The male lion sniffed the air, he could smell me. My paw thumped against the cold wet mud as I stepped out of the darkness so he could see me. He fell on the steps in fear.
“Get away!” he yelled.
I came here to finish you off, I thought. A pregnant lioness came to the door and her eyes glowed. I remembered her from Y’kiki’s forest. Naji was her brother.
“It’s you!” she screamed and I roared at her. My roar rattled the cabin.
“Tell your mate an eye for an eye. She killed my mother and now she can grieve. I was going to kill the cubs but they ran away,” she seethed. The male shifted into his lion form and I pounced on him. My tusks pierced through his neck and I jerked my head so his neck could snap. He dropped dead on the ground and the lioness looked at me with hate-filled eyes.
The cub you’re carrying is the only thing that’s saving you, I thought.
“You will pay for what you did to my family!” she cried.
In the meantime, have a good one, I thought before I ran off. She roared as I disappeared into woods and headed back home.
***********
Sy’noba rushed to me when I made it in the house.
“She’s dead, Sy. They burned her,” I replied.
“Thank you,” she said then hugged me.
“Where are your nieces?” I asked.
“Toyi is getting them ready for bed,” she said.
We walked upstairs and I went into our bathroom in the bedroom. While I was taking a shower, I realized we had five cubs in the estate. Two from Toyi, Sy’noba’s nieces and our daughter—all girls. Sy’noba was standing in the bathroom when I stepped out of the shower. She was completely naked as she stared at me with lust-filled eyes.
“Make love to me,” she said.
“You just gave birth a day ago,” I replied.
“I’m healed. The things you do for me makes me sad because I will always see those visions of us in the past life where I rejected you. I love you so much and it seems like I can’t prove it because you’re always the one who is proving it to me,” she said.
“A male is supposed to love harder than a female. I know you love me. You gave birth for me, that’s all the love in the world,” I said. She pushed me into the shower and closed the door behind her. Sy’noba got down on her knees and kissed the tip of my dick.
“You sure about this?” I asked and she purred. She slid me into her wet mouth and wrapped her lips around the head of my shaft. I rested my head against the shower wall and ran my fingers through her hair. A growl escaped my lips as she made love to my dick with her tongue.
“Spit on it, baby,” I groaned. She added spit on my dick and I was ready to explode. It felt like I was in her tight wet pussy. I slowly pumped into her mouth while grabbing her hair into a ponytail.
“FUCCCCCKKKK!” I groaned while she let me fuck the back of her throat. Sy’noba was aroused from sucking my shaft. She played with her pussy as she stroked my girth with her mouth. We had been intimate plenty of times but what she was doing to me was erotic.
“I’m about to bust!” I called out as my dick swelled. She bobbed her head faster and moaned as her fingers plucked at her button.
“That’s right, baby, with your pretty ass. Suck that shit,” I growled as I exploded. I gripped her hair tighter and watched as she swallowed everything I had to give. I fell against the wall to catch my breath as she kissed my chest. I lifted one of her legs and grabbed a handful of her ass cheek. I still had an erection, so I entered her and she moaned my name. I made love to Sy’noba in the shower until Sabra woke up crying; that was two hours later.
Sy’noba
One week later…
E ze helped me out of his truck as I held on to our daughter. I was blindfolded because he had a surprise for me.
“What is the surprise?” I asked.
“Just keep walking,” he replied.
Thirteen steps later, he uncovered my eyes. I gasped when I saw the big cabin by the lake.
“I added a lot to it. It now has seven bedrooms inside,” Eze replied.
“WOW!” I said in excitement. He pulled me towards the door and opened it.
“SURPRISE!” Safari yelled out.
“SAFARI!” I screamed and Sabra cried. Eze hurriedly took her from me and Safari hugged me. Riu and Alexander were also inside the cabin. They hugged me and rubbed their faces against mine.
“The portal is right underneath the house so you will be close to both worlds,”
Safari said.
“Sabra is too young to go through the portal but soon everyone can meet her,” I said.
“Take your time. The sabers are guarding your temple, too, and everything is peaceful. You only come when they need you and the same goes for Eze,” Riu said.
“Pass me the little egg,” Alexander said to Eze. Eze passed Sabra to her grandfather and he kissed her.
“Makes me want to have another one,” Riu said while kissing Sabra’s cheek.
“Oh gosh, Riu. Your eggs are older than our species,” Alexander teased and she growled at him.
“Quanir will die if he wasn’t the only child,” Eze laughed.
“This place is really beautiful. You decorated the inside like a forest,” I said, looking around.
“I knew you would love it,” Eze said.
While everyone was talking and passing Sabra around, I left and went to the portal. When I stepped through, I ended up in me and Eze’s secret place inside my temple. I walked out of the room and up the spiral staircase that led to the statue of Sekhmet. I kneeled in front of the statue and a strong breeze grazed my cheek. Y’kiki came out of the statue and sat in front of me.
“Will I still see you now since I have completed my purpose?” I asked.
“Of course, I am you and you are me. I’m your spirit that’s within. But you have more courage than I had. You’re my goddess now,” she said.
“But you started all of this,” I replied.
“And you’ve finished it. Go back to your family, your mate is looking for you,” she said and disappeared.
“Sy’noba!” Eze called out when he walked up the stairs in the temple.
“Next time, you gotta tell someone where you’re going,” he said.
“I was coming back,” I replied and he looked at the statue.
“You were talking to her, well, yourself? Or however you want to put it,” he said.
“Yes, I was talking to my inner spirit,” I replied.
“The club is opening in a few hours and we still have to get ready,” Eze replied.
“Okay, I’m coming,” I said and walked past him.
When we got back to the cabin, Toyi, Quanir, her cubs, and my nieces were there. I stood and admired the happiness everyone had, including Sabra. She was a happy cub and I was glad because I never wanted her to experience the hardships that I had in my life.
I’m Sy’noba, Y’kiki, and a saber king’s mate, but before I knew who I was, I was nobody. I worked hard and had received very little in return. It just goes to show that all of our lives have hidden meaning. It only takes courage and the support of the ones you love to discover who you truly are…
The end for now…
