Page 13 of Jessica's Mates
“Hello, I am K’Tem. Jessica is my fated mate.” He held his hands up to show he was unarmed, but I didn’t care. I held my spear out to him. Apak watched him warily from the lower branch beside me.
“Jessica, you call. Where she? You, Jessica, mates?” he asked in Aashi, though his words were not all correct, he did use our words. He thought we were her mates?
Vallyn stepped forward. “Are you the male she has been crying for? The one who she is mated to before she came here to Aarzyn?”
I heard something from his backpack, like the translators the females wore, talking to him. It must be his translator. Ah, he might not know all our words, only some. This was good for us.
“Yes, Jessica is my fated mate.” He nodded. I pointed to his bag.
“Turn off, we must not be heard.” The M’Mori male nodded and quickly turned off his translation device.
“Why did you ask him to do that?” Apak asked as he dropped from the tree. I was surprised he had made it this far, he was very old male with a head of black hair. He mostly stayed around in the main camp and cooked food for the clan.
“I wished for him to not understand all our words. I want to make sure we can trust him, that this is whoJee-sekawas looking for. Koh and I wish to also be her mate and this male, he’s the one she has been waiting for. Now he is here, I want to give him to her. She will be very happy, but also, I worry that now he is here she won’t have time to choose more mates. I believe I’m her mate, fated, just like he is.”
“Me too, but maybe he has tools in his backpack that will help us find her and get her back from the chosen males who took her against her will,” Koh added.
The M’Mori, K’Tem, made a strangled sound. He spoke many words in a language I didn’t know. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a strange looking device.
When he spoke into it again, I realized that he understood our words better than I thought.
“Where is Jessica? Who has taken her? Oh no, I will call my brother. He can find her, he was tracking her to Clan Wolf. But did she leave today? Do you think she has gone far?”
“She was taken by the Chosen from Clan Ariaan. She didn’t choose them as mates and she came to Clan Wolf in the hopes we could help her find you at the Goddess Arena. But now you have found us. And you say you can find her?”
He nodded as he started to do things on his device. It was making sounds and then I heard a strange voice on the other end.
“My brother is tracking her now. He says to go north and closer to the mines. They have her very close there. I do not like this at all. There are bad males in the mines.”
I didn’t like the sound of this either. I ran after K’Tem. He was already proving to be a better mate than I ever would. But as long asJee-sekawas safe, that was all that mattered.
Chapter Thirteen
Jessica
God, these guys were dumbasses. Now I just needed to figure out how to make them lead me back to Clan Wolf.
“Oh, first mate?” I called out in a sweet voice. It was so strange how he thought I went from wanting to kill them to mate bonding them. Bezen appeared at the hut’s door.
“Yes, my bonded female?” The smile on his face made me chuckle. I tried to hide it, but it was hard.
“I need to go pee, but this is a special one. After bonding, males are not to see this, it is how I get with kits,” I lied my ass off. I needed him not to look at me while I went, then snuck off. I was thinking being naked might help, but I wasn’t about to start running naked through here when I wasn’t sure how they were tracking me.
“Oh, I am not sure of this. I have never heard of this urinate for kits before.” Fuck… ah.
“It’s a human custom. I must go and pee. The heat is getting stronger. It is how our females get with kit. I can mate bond you again if you want before I pee. After, I am not to touch a male at all or I will lose the kits.” I could see the worry now on his face, buying it. Come on, dickhead, you think me kicking you in the balls was mating? Let’s believe I need a secret time to pee.
“Mate bonding again isn’t needed, mate. Our females only mate bond when in heat once, and I am very happy to have been your first male.” I was disappointed at that. I wanted to kick him in the nuts one more time for fun. “But I do not wish to harm our kits. We will not touch you or come to where you do your special urination.”
I nodded and stood up. Moving outside the hut, I realized there were more white trees here. And the flowers were white.
“You must all look that way while I go find the right spot. It may take a while, but I will tell you when it is over. Then we all will have kits.” The guys were really happy and fell for it.
I walked away. When I got too far, Bezen called out that I needed to stop. I didn’t want to push him so I started to dig a hole, singing some Dolly Parton while doing it so they knew I was still here. Hoping to lull them into thinking I was still here long after I was gone.
I slowed down my singing, then made sounds that made me seem like I was still there. I paused for a while and I heard Bezen call out my name. I made a sound again and he seemed content with that. I slowly backed up. I picked up a small rock and threw it towards the hole. Backed up more… and almost screamed when I saw a blue looking dude just staring at me. I froze.
Fuck, what the hell? He had two arms, two legs, and no tails. This guy wasn’t Aashi, that was for sure. His blue eyes were piercing and we both locked on to each other. God, what was worse? Being kidnapped by him or Bezen?
