Page 12 of Jessica's Mates
“I will feel too tired to leave after I mate bond. I will need a day’s rest, food, and water before I am to move. I am in heat now. And I don’t want to do anything that would hurt our kits.”
They all nodded, agreeing that I was to stay here, the other three coming forward so I could kick them in the nuts… What dickheads.
I smiled in what they thought was happiness for them to be mate bonded.
I smiled because there was nothing better than your kidnappers thinking they were fucking while I kicked them in the dicks.
Please find me, Koh. Please come find me, I prayed.
Chapter Twelve
Tomlee
When Koh came screaming back into camp, I stood from where I was still stripping leaves. I was hoping thatJee-sekawould return to make blankets with me, but she was too smart, this female. She knew what Brooklyn had done in leaving her with me to make blankets together.
I tried to say the words that would make her happiest, but they must not have sounded the way I hoped. I used many English words and I seemed to upset her as she had left. Then she left with Koh. What did he say to her? I wished to spend time with her as he did, but I didn’t have the same skills.
This was my rest day. I protected the clan most other days, this was why Brooklyn had arranged this for the day. I had brought many foods with me so I could offer her food and water, but she left.
I stood up and ran closer to Koh, as did most males. He was holding the foot coverings ofJee-sekain his lower hands, and he was breathing heavily.
“I was sleeping, I didn’t mean to fall asleep, andJee-sekais gone. She left her coverings and I found some blood nearby. I tried to track her but I couldn’t find her scent. It was as if she just disappeared.”
The clan was alive with males rushing for their spears. We would go out and find her. She wouldn’t have walked away. Many were yelling; Brooklyn was crying loudly.
“It’s my fault. I was being pushy and she left because of me,” she cried out as Evzyn and Makee wrapped her in a hug. She sobbed between them.
“It’s not your fault, Brooklyn. We will find her.” Rion stood tall with his spear. Daku came and had the chaos of the males stop. Many respected him, he was a great leader in times of need.
“Every warrior, form a group of five. I need one group to stay here in case this is a diversion to take the other females.” One of the newer females, Hadley, gasped.
“I believe the males were the Chosen from Clan Ariaan, the ones we let go atJee-seka’sorder. The females have great hearts and are very forgiving, but not all males are respectful. And I believe these are who we will be tracking. I will lead with Koh, and when we arrive at the last place she was seen, we will all spread out. We will find her and return her to her home, here in Clan Wolf.”
All the males cheered and everyone started moving at once. I ran to Koh; I wanted to be with him. I believed he reacted toJee-seka’sscent the same as me and I wanted to ask him now.
“Tomlee,” Koh greeted me. You could see the worry and stress on his face.
“I do not blame you, friend. This was not of your doing. You feel strongly forJee-seka,yes?” I asked. He nodded.
“Her scent calls to me. I had heard the other mated males speak of this and I never thought it was true, that only they wished for it, but it is true. My cock leaks seed whenever I smell her. I am glad my body chose such a strong female to be drawn to, but my heart is sad that she doesn’t wish to take another mate.”
I understood his feelings as they were the same as mine.
“I, too, am affected by her scent. I find myself wanting to be near her at all times, but she doesn’t want me. I have offered to be her friend and I don’t think she wishes for that also. I am unsure on what to do next. But now is not the time for this; now we must go and save her.” I grasped Koh’s shoulder and he led us to where he was last withJee-seka.
Once we were in the clearing, Daku sent us all out in different directions. Koh stayed with me. Vallyn and Apak were with us too, as Daku stayed behind in the clearing.
“Do you think we could smell her if she touched a tree? Or the grass?” I asked Koh, but I was curious on Vallyn’s answer too. He made a sound.
“You are affected by her scent, like I am of my Luna?” We both looked to Vallyn and he smiled when Koh and I answered yes together.
“That is very good. You could smell her. I find even if I am far from Luna, I can still tell where she is. This will be a good advantage, one the chosen males from Ariaan didn’t expect.”
We climbed the trees and travelled through them faster than I ever had before, looking for any signs of where she might have gone. Koh travelled closer to the ground in case she wasn’t taken through the trees. They were from Clan Ariaan where most clan warriors traveled on foot. They didn’t realize we were built for the trees.
I heard the call from Koh and we froze. What had he found? I looked around me. Where was she? I couldn’t sense her… but I could sense someone else. Someone not Aashi by the way they moved on the ground. They were loud and didn’t know where to place their feet to be quiet.
“Jee-seka?”I called out. I didn’t want to waste any time if it was her. But as I descended the tree in my haste, I heard Koh call out, “Intruder alert,” in the English words we were taught. This was not myJee-seka. It was a M’Mori.
