Miss Queen B: Hello my lovely readers, I hope everyone is doing well. I had a bit of a rough week due to me catching the Flu and was pretty much bedridden for five days. My own fault, I knew I wasn't feeling well for a while, but being a triple threat (full-time job, wife and mother) I didn't have time to relax or rest or get check out. It wasn't till my hubby came home one day to find me trying to cook with a high fever when he took me to the doctor. I'm just glad I'm over it because I would hate to be sick on my birthday. (March 3) Anyway, I'm all better give or take so Notes:

Note One: Thank you so much for the reviews on "Ashes" I never thought it would make such an impact, probably even more so than "Embers" did. There were a lot of tears and I'm thinking, man, I need to stop making my readers cry. Lol. Hopefully, the next one-shot "Raindrops" will be a little more down to earth and mellow to read after the other two.

Note Two: Sorry for the long wait, I really am, but half of the time was me writing "Ashes" and the other half from being sick. Either way, I'm happy you all like the last chapter and the wonderful, gentle Behemoth as well. Already getting request to see more of him in future work. The reviews were amazing the read and always put a big, fat, smile on my face. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this story is going to reach the 1000th review mark.

Note Three: So about this chapter: (Present) The royal couple talk about their future heir and what's it going to be. (Flashback) Gojira gets a little taste of parenthood when he was force to help Mosura take care of Scylla's hatchlings. Which is hard since he and Scylla still don't like each other and Mosura runs into someone from Gojira's past and he's not happy about it. Enjoy.

Part VIII

His Past

~My darling only you

Can make my dreams come true

And every night I pray

You'll never go away

I promise I will try

Until the day I die

To treat you like a king

Cause you are my everything~

~Everything by Mary J Blige

You know you don't have to watch me all the time, my King. His Queen said, while grooming her face and antennas.

In his defense, he couldn't help himself. Every since they discovered her carrying his egg his male instincts took over and he was more watchful and more protective when it came to her. And more smothering as his Queen puts it, but she had no right to talk after nearly drowning a month ago. You would think she would be more happy with him showing more of his softer side, but as the days went on and the more she expanded, she was getting a little annoyed with him. He snorted and gave her a look. I have every right to look after my Queen and my egg.

They were both resting in the shallow part of the ocean since it was now the only spot his Queen can sit down without falling over. Her body would just sink into the soft sand and form a comfortable mold for her to sit nicely. While she was busy cleaning herself up, he was taking his time just to look at her. Really look at her like it was the first time ever seeing her. Behemoth was right about females being pregnant….they are truly stunning.

He never thought her fur could get shiner and fluffier, but it did. The colors of her wings were brighter and made the eye imprints stand out even more. Her eyes were even bluer and she couldn't stop glowing whether she's having a good day or bad. She was beautiful. She stopped her grooming session and turned to face him. As much as I love your protective side, you don't have to worry about me. I told you already, I'm not going to fly off like the last time.

It's not just that my Queen, I'm also making sure you don't pass out from exhaustion. He said, in a worried tone.

He hate to admit it, but Scylla and the stupid bird were right about her being so tired all the time. She was carrying a powerful kaiju's offspring and it seems like the brat was sucking her energy dry. They had a small scare a couple of weeks ago when she slept for four days without any food or water. Now when he sleeps for four days or more it was no big deal, but her, on the other hand, freaked him out. Even more so when he tried to wake her up and she didn't budge. He literally had to bump her hard with his snout to make her open her eyes and they were dull and she could barely keep them open. She said she was fine, but was very tired and wanted to go back to sleep, yet he just had a bad feeling. She needed a boost of energy, but the thought of leaving her alone while he went off to search for plants she could eat didn't feel right. Without even thinking and as gentle as he could, he charged himself up and blew a mist of blue particles above her and watched them seep into her skin. She let out a small giggle and went back to sleep. Lying down next to her, he blew another mist just to make sure it will help her out then waited for her to wake up again. After an hour, she started to stir and opened her eyes to smile at him. She actually looked well rested after getting an atomic boost and had enough energy to walk around for exercise. He didn't think it would work, but was glad his powers was enough for the little one to stop draining it's mother.

I'm fine. I'm actually doing a lot better thanks to you giving me some of your powers. She said, smiling at him.

Well, you do it all the time for me, I figure it's my turn to return the favor. He said then smirked, At least I know the brat is going to be a strong one.

She rolled her eyes from the name then cleared her throat. I know finding out about me carrying your egg was shocking, but I feel like you're shutting me out about something.

What makes you say that?

Well, we only talked about it once and haven't brought it up ever since, so I'm just making sure if you're Ok?

We're having a hatchling, what else is there to talk about? He asked, remembering their last conversation they had about the egg. His Queen asked him if he was truly sure he could hear a second heartbeat in her which he replied yes. He asked her how could she not know she was carrying in the first place and she told him she laid so many eggs before so it was hard to tell if the egg was empty or not. He remembered them staying quiet for a moment, like they were both trying to let it all sink in till his Queen spoke up about how happy she was about the whole thing. Him, on the other hand, didn't know how to feel about it, but the need to protect and care for her during this time was there. He nearly lost her and the egg already if it wasn't for the stupid bird.

She frowns a little, I'm just curious if you have mixed feelings about the little one. I mean, you told me before you didn't want them for personal reasons. I just want to make sure you don't have any resentment towards me or the egg.

Why would I have any resentment towards you? It's take two to make a hatchling and it was hard for me to be careful when you felt that good. He smirked slyly.

She blushed, You and Scylla can be so gross sometimes. I'm trying to be serious here.

There's no point looking into this so deep, my Queen. You're carrying and going to lay soon and that's all that matters now.

True, but are you even curious about the hatchlings like what it's going to look like or do you want it to be a male or female….do you want it to be a lizard kaiju like you?

He sighed, If you want the truth I guess I'm hoping for a little larva.

Oh? She questioned with her antenna perking up.

Yeah, maybe it won't be ridicule if it came out looking like you. It seems like everyone thinks having another me around might cause a problem.

She gives him a sad smile, Times are different now and I would love to have another you around. Same dark color scales and those golden eyes. Can you imagine having a little Gojira swimming around and actually being smaller than me. How precious he or she would be?

He could see such love and adoration in her eyes of the thought of having another lizard kaiju around. And here he thought one was bad enough for her. Are you sure you wouldn't want another colorful moth around here instead?

I really don't care what comes out of the egg, I'm just glad we are talking about it. She smiled.

He rolled his eyes and looked away, I don't know why you would want another lizard kaiju around anyway. I don't even like my own species.

No, you didn't like your pack, not your entire species. There's a difference.

He shrugs, It's the same thing to me.

She shook her head and went back to humming a soft tune and he went back to looking at her again. Once in a while she would caress her large tummy with her claw before going back to grooming her face and body. He didn't understand why she wouldn't want another moth kaiju around. She always stated it would be nice to meet others like her in hopes she would understand herself better or why she was the way she was. Plus, nowadays it would be safer if they had a baby larva anyway. His Queen is well loved by everyone including the humans and they wouldn't even dare think about hurting her or killing her with their bombs and fire. Him, on the other hand, lost count how many times the human tried to destroy him and wondered if they would show the same hostility towards his heir if the little one came out looking like him. He groans and still doesn't know why his Queen puts up with those tiny pests and wondered if she would have second thoughts about them if they did try to do anything to the hatchling. He wasn't sure if she noticed, but there have been a lot more of those black flying things buzzing around as if the humans knew there's something going on in his Queen's stomach. He already destroyed ten of them in the last couple of weeks and they still keep coming back.

Besides you met my pack before….I don't recall you liking them either. He said, getting her attention again

They weren't all bad, some were actually….tolerable…

That's because they thought you were stupid and beneath them...

She huffed, Possibly, but either way some were OK…..it was the Alpha that wanted to kill me….

00000000

~Imagine meeting someone

Who wanted to learn your past,

Not to punish you,

But to understand how you needed

To be loved~

~Unknown

(Flashback)

He's been alive for over two hundred years and thought he's seen it all, but this….this was out there. Sitting on the ground, he found himself having some sort of staring competition with the Stupid Squid's brats. Three tiny little squid kaijus that were not even a week old were just looking back at him not saying a word while their many brothers and sisters crawled all over his back and tail without any respect for boundaries. Mosura HAD to visit her friend's pack to help her out with her newborn hatchlings….all sixty-five of them!

He could barely tolerate the little ones crawling all over him, but the staring….the staring was burning a hole in his already throbbing mind.

Shoo….go back to your mother. He said, trying to keep his composer even more so when another little squid slipped down his forehead nearly poking him in his eye with it's leg. He jerked his head causing the little one to fall to the ground and the others to giggle.

Having fun, my love.

He looked up to see Mosura floating in front of him with a rather amused face. Nearly a dozen of the hatchlings were following her from behind while staring up at her amazing colors. In the background he can see her stupid friend taking a nap with most of her hatchlings sleeping as well while the rest were crawling around or swimming around in the shallow part of the water. The other squid kaijus were scattered everywhere with their own offsprings to take care of while chatting and looking at him once in a while. Although he was with Mosura and she told them he was no threat, they were still keeping their guard up and he can't blame them. Squid hatchling's shell and skin are very soft and tender and his Kind among other species are known to travel over here and eat them. Hence why he didn't want to come here in the first place. He ate them as well when he was younger before he met Mosura, how was he supposed to know she was best friends with one of his food supplies. Mosura was a little appalled by this, but there's nothing she can do about it except ask him to keep himself from feasting. He was sure if she wasn't best friends with the Stupid Squid she wouldn't care if he ate them or not.

You're enjoying this, aren't you? He asked only to flinch when he felt one of those brats trying to bite his tail.

Maybe a little too much, but I have to say it's cute to see you play with the little ones.

I'm not playing, I'm lying here and they won't leave me alone. He said then look down at the three that were staring at him. Can you tell these brats to stop staring at me?

Mosura rolled her eyes and flew down to the ground next to them. Settle down my Love, they are just curious. It's not everyday they see something so gigantic and what's the word you called him Little Ones? She asked the three.

Lumpy...They said at the same time.

The hatchlings and Mosura started to laugh and he could feel a vein pulsing in his forehead. (If you don't stop laughing, I will eat them) He thought.

Her head perks up and she gives him a playful yet firm look. Alright, little ones go play in the water and leave Gojira alone. She said which the hatchlings cried in protest and she giggled, Do it and I promise to sing later.

That right there did it and he stood perfectly still to let the brats crawl off of him and scurry their way over to the water. He sighed, How long are we staying this time?

Why, we just got here and Scylla needs all the help she can get. Times like these with the young ones being so soft are crucial and they need to be protected.

Ok, so how long does it take for them to harden? He asked.

Give or take six months or more. Mosura said, nervously.

That long?! You want to stay here for that long?! Are you crazy!

She laughed, How funny Scylla said the same thing when I told her.

Geez, I wondered why? He spat. Do I have to remind you she doesn't like me.

Oh I know, but I also know you don't like her either so what's your point? She asked.

I never told you I don't like her.

Which is why you need more practice keeping your inner thoughts to yourself, my love. She grins. I don't appreciate you referring her as the Stupid Squid.

He snorted and looked away while pouting, Well, she calls me the Fat Lizard when you're not looking.

Mosura rolled her eyes, Just try to get along with her and I'll tell her the same thing since we are going to be here for a while. I know you don't like it, but I've been doing this way before we met and I don't plan on changing it. It's not easy for her to take care of so many hatchlings without a mate.

You said she didn't want one. He pointed out.

That's just how their species work. None of them want mates, but I know she will be happy with one, we just have to find the right male.

Riiight. I doubt there's someone out there that can put up with her "colorful" attitude.

Funny, she said the same thing about you when I first mentioned you so long ago.

Of course she did. (Someone needs to teach that Stupid Squid to shut her mouth once in a while.)

(I heard that) She thought and he cringe. She was right, he does need more practice.

Sensing his moodiness, she smiled and walked over to him to sit down between his arms. She nuzzled the bottom of his chin and kissed him gently on the neck. He twitched and gave her a playful growl to make her quit. (Not in public)

(Let them look. I want them to see how lucky I am) Mosura thought back and kissed him again on the neck. Right on top of his gills. He's starting to regret telling her about the gills being a tender spot.

His head started to get hot from her happiness and playfulness which he tried to mellow it down with his mind before it became unbearable. He couldn't complain, ever since he connected with Mosura, he never thought she could get any happier than she is now. Even after seeing a lot of his dark memories, she never saw him anything less in fact, he could see she was falling for him even more now. The affection also went up and she was not shy about it either. As much as he tried to hide his emotions, she could feel them no less which made her nuzzle him even more. (You're a headache) He thought.

(You love me) She thought back while purring.

I know you're trying to butter me up, but I don't think I can stay here for six months. He said, tiredly.

She huffed, It won't be that bad, really. Besides, it's so nice seeing so many families in one place. Seeing more of your kind, looking out for one another and endless conversations. The males will go out and hunt for food while the females stay behind and look after hatchlings do all sorts of cute little things. It's funny how kaijus and creatures will tell me being rare must be spectacular, but in reality, it's not because it's only me and no one else.

Yuck, being in a pack is nice and all till you're singled out and forced to leave because of being different. He spat.

I know, I know, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. She smiled while leaning her back against his upper chest. Her wings were folded in and resting on his left side. She let out a small sign, no doubt tired from all the running around she was doing with the hatchlings so the Stupid Squid could rest for a bit, but she was loving every moment of it. He can already tell this long visit is going to be just that….long.

00000000

Several weeks went by and while Mosura was happy to be with her friend and the young ones, it was really hard to get use to staying in one spot and the Stupid Squid's polite, but rude behavior towards him wasn't helping either.

It was late morning and Mosura was doing her daily count to make sure none of the hatchlings wandered off somewhere in the middle of the night.

...thirty-three….thirty-four….little one, hold still because I think I counted you twice already….

He was trying to take a nap, but once again, the hatchlings were crawling all over him, nearly twenty of them this time, while some were staring at him again. Scylla was resting in her nest while giving him the biggest, smug-like, grin and he had a feeling she was the one telling her brats to do this.

Thanks again for doing this Mosura, you do know I can take care of this on my own, right? Scylla said, smiling. Trying to be as sweet as she can even though he can see right through her fake-ass charm.

Oh Scylla, you know I don't mind, I love helping you take care of your hatchlings. They're so sweet and kind just like you…..forty…..forty-one….forty-two….

Are you sure we're talking about the same hatchlings? He asked sarcastically, which Scylla gave him a look. He smirks back at her because two can play this game. If she is going to make smartass remarks and push his buttons, he's going to do it too.

Scylla cleared her throat, I guess I'm glad you're here as well, Gojira….He can tell she had to hold back from calling him the Fat Lizard in front of Mousra….I've noticed we're not getting a lot of predators around here and when we do they take one look at you and run off.

See Scylla, you have nothing to worry about. Gojira will make sure nothing will happen to your hatchlings or anyone in your pack. Mosura said…..fifty-three….fifty-four…. Mosura was determined not to let anymore of her friend's hatchling die on her watch. Out of the eighty-five eggs she laid twenty of them turned out to be duds or taken away by Egg-Eaters and according to his little moth that was a huge loss compared to the last batch of eggs years ago.

He and Scylla laughed nervously knowing that was a load of shit, but whatever. The Stupid Squid should be grateful she was Mosura's friend or else he would have tore her shell off her back already.

Oh no. Mosura squeaked and started to fly around the place.

What is it? Scylla asked.

We're missing one. Mosura said, One of the little males.

How in the world do you know it's a male? Gojira asked.

Don't you pay attention when I talk? Scylla asked, a bit peeved.

No. He said plain and simple, getting a mental pinch in his head by his pretty little moth.

Scylla scoffs, I have forty females and twenty-five males so missing one male will be noticeable. She said, while trying to get up.

No, no, you stay lying down since you have a lot of hatchling sleeping on your back. I'll go find him. I mean, I'm sure he didn't get too far.

You're not going out there alone, Mosura. Gojira said.

I'll be fine beside some of the hatchling fell asleep on your back as well.

Like I care. Let me toss them off and I'll go with you.

Don't you dare wake them up or else you'll be the one dealing with their fussiness. Scylla growled. Mosura will be fine. She's done this before.

Said the one who was trash-talking me for not protecting her the last time we visit.

Please, don't fight. We don't want to wake up the little ones. I'll be fine plus it will be easier for me to find him since I can fly. Mosura said, before flying up into the air.

When she was out of site, he growled and turned his attention to Scylla, Listen, I don't like being here just as much as you don't, but Mosura wanted to help you so I didn't have a choice.

Oh I know you don't, you made it perfectly clear with your rudeness and how you've been treating my little ones.

Yeah? So do you talk to everyone with this bitchy attitude of yours as well?

Watch your mouth, you Fat Lizard. She snapped while trying so hard not to move. Her hatchlings formed some sort of ball shape pile around her shell and if she moves no doubt they will fall off and wake up.

You should be grateful I'm allowing your brats to crawl all over me and trying to bite me once in a while. I even promised Mosura I wouldn't try to eat them either.

You're disgusting for wanting to eat little hatchlings. Scylla said, calmly, but clearly grossed out.

Then show some respect. Can't you get it through that little skull of yours that I'm not going anywhere. You may dislike me, but you love Mosura so let's end this nonsense and at least pretend to like each other for her sake? He said, picking his head high enough to make one of the hatchlings fall off.

She growled and shook her head. Probably wondering how in the world her best friend ended up falling for someone like him. Hell, that makes two of them, but tough shit, it happened and like it or not they both will have to deal with each other. She sighed, Alright, maybe I could be a little less harsh towards you. I apologize.

Good, that will make things a lot easier. He said while staring at the same hatchling who fell off of him trying to crawl up his back again. Seriously, what's with these brats and why do the find his back and tail so entertaining.

Do you have something to say to me as well? Scylla asked, leaning over for a better hearing.

No. He said again plain and simple. Like he would really apologize to her after the way she's been acting towards him. He smirked when her tentacles curled up tight before unraveling them. No doubt she had a few choice words she wanted to call him if there weren't any little ones around. She took a deep breath and decided to change the subject. So I see you and Mosura connected finally.

Well that threw him off a little. What makes you say that?

I figure it out when I saw you and her communicating with each other over the days. Her antennas would twitch whens she talks to you in her mind and for some reason your eyes will glow blue when responding. Plus the fact she seems a lot happier, it wasn't hard to put two and two together. I'm surprised you could fit her mind into your head with that fat ego blocking everything.

Ouch, he will give her a point for that one. Stupid Squid. Yet, she said you connected with her and you didn't last for a day so what does that say about you?

She gave him a look and he gave him a point on his side. What a nice way to say Stupid Squid out loud to her. He will admit for the first week or so being connected was a little hard. He had to really exercise his brain muscles and learn how to minimize Mosura's emotions. Everyday was a constant headache since she was a very emotional kaiju, but it was getting easier and easier as the days went on. Mosura had a little hard time as well during the night. When she's sleeping, her guard was down so it was hard to tone down his feelings when he's dreaming. His night terrors would wake her up and it took a lot of her comfort to get him to go back to sleep again. There were times when his nightmares would get so bad, she would accidentally see them as well. It would be the same dream she would see, dark heavy storm clouds full of lighting and thunder with three pairs of red eyes staring down at him. But luckily, she has yet to regret connecting with him and said it will take time, but they will find a perfect balance between them.

He did like the fact they can talk to each other through their minds since he was more of a private kaiju than she was and it seems like his senses heighten as well. It was weird at first to feel so many different things in his head due to her feelings. Like when she's happy, he would feel a sense of warmth in his head. When she's sad it would feel cold. Laughing was like bubbles. Pain, distress and anger would feel like someone was pinching his nerves. Love and passion would feel like a warm mist with a foggy vision. When she's asleep it would be a low hum followed by her slow heartbeat. If she was hiding something or guilty he would get a sudden chill. There were more, but he was still figuring things out. Speaking of her, he clenched his teeth to concentrate on her and from the way she was feeling, she was doing fine, but was still having a hard time trying to find the lost hatchling. Her heart rate spiked causing him to tilt his head a bit and look behind him. Odd?

So, I'm curious, what does your kind do to claim a mate? I'm sure Mosura is tired of waiting for you to do something.

That's none of your business. He said firmly.

Again, I'm just curious since there must be a reason why you're not going for it. She said you two exchanged gifts so the courtship is nearly done so what's the hold up?

He sighed because he knows she won't shut up about it if he keeps denying her the information. Well for one thing, it's more meaningful than what your kind does.

We are breeders, we don't look for mates.

Exactly, and I'll give you credit for saying that out loud.

What do you mean?

That you will fuck any male for their seed. He smirked.

There's more to it and you know it and watch your language. She spat, clearly offended. He didn't know why since it was true in a way. Mosura told him herself, he just reword it differently.

Just saying what you consider normal is weird to me since my Kind mate for life. We pick the best and only the best.

So are you just tagging Mosura around till you find the "Best?" She asked in a judgmental tone.

There's no one above her. He smirked. And if you put that thought in her head that she's not the one for me, I swear even she won't protect you from my wrath.

She scoffed, clearly not buying his shallow threat. So what's the hold up then. Is it the whole mating thing? I mean in every courtship involves a mating ritual….don't tell me you don't-

Watch it….He threatened.

Again just curious. She said with a smug smile.

He sighed, Mosura is not a violent type and the last thing I want to do is hurt her, so how can I tell her my species mark their mates by biting them hard in the neck? I can't be gentle with the mark because it needs to leave a permanent scar on it.

Her eyes were wide and she cleared her throat, I suppose she would be a little freak out about it...but-

The two jumped from a loud roar that echoed across the sky. He felt a sharp pang in his head and Mosura's heart beating fast. She was in trouble from what he was feeling and for some reason he recognized that roar.

Shit! He growled and quickly got up from the ground not caring about the hatchlings waking up and falling to the ground. They started to cry causing Scylla to yell at him, but he didn't care, Mosura was in trouble. Thanks to their connection, he can easily track her down and with that in mind he took off in her direction fearing the worst.

000000

He didn't think the worst would be what he saw in front of him. He swore on his life he would never go near them ever again, not after what they did to him and his parents, but sure enough when he got to her location, he saw Mosura on the ground with her wings spread out high and wide while hiding the little hatchling behind her back. In front of her stood a large lizard kaiju covered in silk with a pissed off look on its face and towering his pretty moth in a stand off position.

Hand over the squid and I swear I'll let you live. The lizard growled in a feminine voice.

Not taking any chances, he roared at the top of his lungs, grabbing their attention, before racing towards the female. Mosura was lucky enough to grab the hatchling and jump out of his way before he tackled the lizard kaiju to the ground. The female roared back and swatted him in the face with her tail before trying to bite him in the neck. He slashed her face and grabbed her head with both of his claws and slammed her down to the ground. He could hear Mosura calling him to stop because she's not alone. At the corner of his eye he could see two little younglings keeping their distance and crying out to the female. Most likely their mother. Rolling his eyes because Mosura will never forgive him for taking a mother's life, he picked himself up and pinned the female down with his foot.

Threaten the moth again and I swear I'll kill you now stay down. He growled, giving her one last stomp before walking over to Mosura.

Mosura sat there, stunned with wide eyes while holding the hatchling in her arms. He approached her and picked them both up with his tail and placed them on his back. The only thing he wanted to do is get as far away from the lizard kaiju before his little moth could ask questions.

We're not through here. The female said, picking herself up from the ground. Her face scratched up and bleeding thanks to his claws. Since when do we attack our own kind!?

He turned around and growled at the female as a warning. Back off and walk away before I leave those brats you have without a mother!

I would love to see you try! Who the hell do you think you are! They're hungry and need to eat!

They're trying to get to Scylla's pack after they discovered her hatchling wandering around. Mosura whispered.

The female raced towards them with her claws and teeth out and he positioned himself to attack.

Take him back to Scylla and stay there. He told Mosura.

What! No! She screamed.

Don't argue you me, now go! He shouted.

No, I'm not leaving you here, Gojira, so don't even bother pushing me away! She shouted.

The female's eyes widened and she skidded to a halt, nearly falling over from the sudden stop, but kept her balance. Whoa, whoa, whoa….She said, leaning over to his face. Gojira?

He took a step back from the female being too close. Even Mosura and the two younglings behind their mother were stunned by her reaction. She leaned close to his face again and sniffed him before examining him again. He can sense Mosura not liking the closeness and was down right confused. Taller and bulkier, but I recognize that grumpy face anywhere, it really is you! She said, shocked and amazed.

Mosura peeked before his shoulder, I'm sorry, did I miss something?

No. He said, Let's go.

He turned around and started to head back to the squid's territory, but was blocked by the female. Wait, wait, you're just going to walk away without even saying hello to one of your old pack members. She said, while the two younglings hid behind her leg. Come on, do you even remember me, Jayanta? We grew up together. Surely it hasn't been that long since you were kicked out.

You mean when I LEFT and that was a century ago now get out of the way! He spat.

You're part of Goji's pack? Mosura asked, crawling up to his head for a better view. He told me you were all dead or dying.

Wait till the others find out about you being so close by. She said, completely ignoring Mosura. You have to come back with me because they will never believe me.

Angry from seeing her and mentioning the same kaijus who kicked him out, he pushed her aside harshly and continued his way back to the squid's territory without saying a word.

Oh, come on Gojira, don't be that way. She said, You should be glad we ran into each other, the Alpha wants you back!

Mosura pulled on the back of his neck to make him stop and he growled in anger. Glad?! How the fuck should I be glad about that!? He yelled.

Language, my love. Mosura whispered. Which made the female raise a bow from Mosura's pet name.

This is not the time to be polite, Mosura. He whispered back angrily.

The female smirked. Your little pet is right, there are younglings here after all.

His pet? Mosura questioned, slightly offended.

But yes, the Alpha wants you back.

For what? To challenge me? Though the thought of it did intrigue him since no doubt the Alpha is too old to put up a fight.

She shook her head, No, great tales of you fighting the three headed demon came back to us and the Alpha as well as the others thought maybe we were a little too harsh on you and decided it's time for you to return home.

In other words, your pack grew weak over the years and needs a strong kaiju for protection. He asked bluntly.

Jayanta's face grew dark. If you want to be blunt about it, yes and you could say you owe us that much since thanks to you, the Fallen Star has been targeting all the lizard kaijus over the years looking for you. Our pack was attacked by that demon a few years ago, killing all the strong ones and their younglings just for the fun of it.

I don't owe YOUR pack anything. If you're looking for pity, you're not going to get it from me. He said, Now leave us alone before I lose my temper.

(You're not going to leave those younglings without a mother) Mosura shouted.

(I refuse to show mercy so shut it) He answered back.

He was about to walk away again when he heard Jayanta chuckled. Did I mention Nyx is the one making the others go out and look for you?

He stopped dead in his tracks once again with wide eyes and bit his tongue. A chill went down his spine and could feel Mosura shaking from the sudden coldness. His tail started to swish around and he slowly turned his head to face Jayanta once more who had a devilish smirk on her face. What does Nyx have to do with anything?

(Who is Nyx?) Mosura asked, but was ignored by him.

Well, our old Alpha died trying to fight off the Fallen Star so with Nyx being his only heir, she took over and is looking for a male alpha to rule with her….She said with a big grin.

He snorted and swallowed the blood in his mouth. At the corner of his eye, he can see Mosura looking at him for answers. Well, I hope she finds one soon before the Fallen Star comes back and finishes the job. Then walked away again without looking back.

You're such a strange male, Gojira, turning down an offer like that. I mean I thought you would be glad she still thinks about you after so long. She told me you two have history together. Jayanta shouted. If you change your mind we're only a few miles north from here!

000000000

It was the late afternoon when they finally made it back to the Squid's territory with him not saying a word no matter how many times Mosura was pestering him for answers. Finally, Mosura flew in front of him with a firm look on her face and he knew right off the back she was not going to let him do anything till they talk. He sighed and grabbed the little hatchling off his back with his tail and placed him on the ground. Go back to your mother, you little brat. He said, pushing the little one to scram with his tail. The little one may have wandered off, but he was the one in trouble now. Once they were alone, he decided to play stupid. Hungry?

So we're not going to talk about what just happened back there? She asked.

What's there to talk about?

You just saw one of your old pack members after a hundred years and there's nothing to talk about?

Don't start, of all the things I will open up to you, this one needs to remain locked and buried. He said, already feeling his temper flaring up.

Are you even curious how they are? Half of them were killed by the Fallen Star and they are looking for you for help, my love. I know you don't like your pack for letting your parents die and kicking you out, but maybe this is their way of asking for forgiveness.

Were you not listening to her words? They're weak and vulnerable and trying to guilt trip me to protect them, well, screw them, they deserve every painful brutality they can get!

Don't say awful things like that. She said, flying closer to him. That's not you.

He snorted and looked away. He was in no mood to talk about this right now. They didn't help him when my Sire needed them and in the end I lost both him and my mother. So why in the world should I lift a claw to help them?

To prove to them you're better than them for one thing. What's a better way to show them what a horrible mistake it was to exile you than having them kneel down to you like the King you are.

He smirked a little from the thought of that, but shook his head. As entertaining as that sounds, the answer is still no. The last thing I want is you having to deal with them. We are not kind creatures and I don't want them to harass you in anyway so let's just forget about it, alright. He demanded.

She sighed and started to blush a little knowing she's going to get a bad reaction with her next question. Are you sure this is about my safety or because you don't want me around this Nyx female.

He growled, he knew she would bring her up and that was the last thing he wanted her to know about. Don't do this… He warned her.

The female said you two had history….so who is she?

He walked past her actually looking forward to see the Stupid Squid if it means avoiding this conversation. Nothing.

You saying that is just your way of hiding the real truth. She was something to you, wasn't she? She asked in a sad whisper.

No, she wasn't and why does that matter to you anyway?

Did you love her? Is that why you don't want to talk about it?

For crying out loud, Mosura, you're the only one I have deep feelings for, so drop it.

I know you do, but you could still have some lingering feelings for her as well.

Lingering Feelings? That's a laugh...why can't you see this is not a big deal?

Now she was getting upset. If it's not that big of a deal then I want to know. I don't want us to have secrets between us.

Trust me, you don't want to know. He said, turning blood red in embarrassment.

I'm not going to let this go until you tell me. She said, being stubborn. And for what? Was she jealous even though she never met the female? Or was it the fact it wasn't just any female, but someone he knew personally? She didn't need to stress about it, hasn't he proven to her and so many others, she was it for him. He can't see himself with anyone, but her.

He sighed, It was a long time ago, Mosura, when I was an adolescent and kind of an asshole….I did things I wasn't proud of when I was still part of the pack.

Like what?

You better not get mad or anything because you pushed me into telling you. He growled and took a deep breath. This was the last thing he wanted to confess to her when it came to crap he did when he was younger. We….had a night together….there were no feelings involved or anything like it. I didn't even care that I used her since she was a rotten, spoiled, power-hungry pile of dirt. She was just curious like I was. And she was not the first or last one he used for his own entertainment. It was just empty sex to him. That one in particular was a special case since she was the Alpha's heir and he didn't like the Alpha for stealing his title after his Sire died. His sort of evil way to get even with the one in charge. He tried to hold back his laughter when he thought about it. He remembered telling Anguirus about his past flings and his friend just shrugged and told him he was almost as bad as Rodan was. Saying Rodan would go as far as stealing other males's mates just for the fun of it and leaves them afterwards.

When he didn't get a reaction, his eyes shifted over to her to see a blank look on her face. The nerves in his head started to pinch, her way of saying she was angry, but trying so hard to cover it up.

You said you wouldn't get angry. He said, calmly. It was a long time ago, Mosura, we didn't even know each other. Why does it matter anyway, I'm sure there were others before me? He asked, curiously.

She blushed and landed on his back and shook her head. No...I mean...sure I had a few crushes on other males before you, but I….well...never...went that far, you could say.

Oh….He said, trying to hide his shocked face. They haven't talked about it yet. The whole mating and marking thing, but that right there made him uneasy. He didn't think she would still be untouched….still pure as they would call it. You would think the way she was so affectionate, she would have at least tried it once.

Mosura couldn't help, but giggle a little bit even though she was embarrassed as well. It's not like I don't know what it is….it's just….

You don't have to explain yourself...can we just forget about it and get some rest. He pleaded which she finally nodded knowing he was getting really uncomfortable with everything they were talking about.

You win, but what about your pack?

We're not going over there, end of story. He said, annoyed.

She shook her head, So be it, have it your way.

Thank you. He said, collapsing to the ground for some much needed rest. He hated this day and hopes Mosura will forget about the female and wanting him to visit his old pack.

What are you doing, we're still far away from Scylla's nest.

Exactly, our way to get some sleep for once without those noisy Hatchlings and their mother.

She sighed, And you say I'm a headache.

000000000

He didn't think he would sleep through the whole night, but he did and would have slept throughout the day if it wasn't for someone tapping him on his head. He growled and opened one of his eyes to see Scylla standing in front of him with a worried face.

What did I do this time? He asked harshly before stretching out a bit.

Have you seen Mosura? She asked.

He snorted, What are you talking about? You two always get up early to grab some food.

Yes, I know, but when I didn't see her this morning I thought she already went out without me, but it's nearly noon and she's nowhere to be found.

He sat up from her statement and tried to contact her through their connection. (Mosura!?) He yelled, but got no response. (Mosura! I know you can hear me, don't ignore me!) He can't feel any sign of distress, in fact she seems a little glee about something, but what? When was the last time you saw her?

Last night after you fell asleep. She was telling me about how you two came across one of your old pack members and how she was curious about them and a certain female and….

She stopped and they both stared at each other when they realized they were thinking of the same thing. Scylla started to panic. Oh Kaiju, I told her not to do it. Not to go over there alone and she told me she wouldn't…..you don't think she…?

Dammit, she wouldn't let it go and now he has to go after her before she puts herself in danger. Yeah, she would…..
