Miss Queen B: Hello Lovely Readers, I pray everyone is safe and healthy during this crisis. Remember to look out for one another and stay calm. Notes:
Note One: I'm so happy everyone loved the one-shot "Raindrops." and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful reviews for it. And sorry for the tears since I apparently made a few of my readers cry again. I really need to write happier stories in the near future. Many of you are already asking for a sequel to "Raindrops", hell even my Hubby was asking for one when he read it. Asking me, "Well, how did their little date go? Will they get together or not?" His reaction made me speechless, but yes, there will be a second part called "Gentle Waves" coming soon. So yay?
Note Two: Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter and the many request for a side story about Gojira's parents. I will put that story idea in my notes and see what I can fix up after finishing "Deep Blue Sea" I'm happy to hear everyone liking some of Gojira's pack members. I really thought I created too many and had a very hard time finding names for all of them. I have to say, I blushed very hard from a lot of readers asking for a one-shot on Gojira and Nyx's night together. Wow, that will be a challenge, but I'll see what I can do. Lol.
Note Three: So about this chapter: The Queen is about to lay her egg. (Flashback) The encounter with Nyx leads to a horrible spat between Gojira and Mosura. Gojira has an interesting talk with one of his mother's old friends. And Mosura finally gets her mark. (A little warning: some slight sexual tease. Again, not comfortable, skip it.)

~The Love Bits
The morning light stung his dried eyes which he blinked a couple of times to moist them. His Queen woke him up in the middle of the night due to pain she was feeling in her stomach. At first he thought it was just growing pains, she would have those once in a while due to the egg expanding her, but she shook her head and said she needed to lay. He didn't think much of it since they've been over this process countless times where she would go to a nearby waterfall or cave for privacy while he watched their surroundings for any threats till it was done, but this time was different.
I want you to stay with me. She panted, while lying on the sand curled up in a tight ball.
You want me to watch you lay? He asked, trying not to freak out. What happened to doing this by yourself in a secluded place.
She cringed from another wave of pain, It's different this time! It's not an empty egg, it's our hatchling! Not to mention this egg is bigger than my other ones. I need your support!
When it comes to female things, he tends to stay out of it. It's not something he needed to see or question or deal with so... You can't be serious? You actually want me around to see you push the egg out!
You've seen blood and gore all your life, yet this grosses you out?! She asked, turning over on her back to find a more comfortable position. Her giant wings wrapping around her like a colorful cocoon.
Don't ever think fighting and giving birth is the same thing! He huffed.
My King, I really don't want to fight! She said, trying so hard to keep her breathing under control.
Why not send a message to Scylla, no doubt she can handle this situation better. He asked.
She rolled over again to get her wings untangled and revealed her tired face. I don't want to disturb her. I think she's still mad at us about the whole Behemoth thing?
Um, who cares? He said, dully.
I do. She told me over and over again she will never look for a mate or male companion yet I kept pushing her. And you making fun of her wasn't helping either.
It's been a couple of weeks now, I'm sure she's over it. Just contact her. He begged. He really didn't want to see her lay an egg. He didn't think a male should be allowed to see such a gross thing.
She let out a small cry due to the pain, No, I would rather have you here. This is your egg after all!
Well, I don't know what you expect me to do in this situation.
For crying out loud, just lie down next to me! She cried in frustration.
Wouldn't you rather be in the cave?
The sand is soft on my stomach. Now please! She shouted. He can sense she did not have the patience to deal with his bullshit so he huffed and laid down on his stomach next to her. Using his tail, he gently pulled her over to him till she was leaning against his side and used his body to curl around hers for a secure comfort. He didn't want to alarm her, but he was making sure he was hiding her from prying eyes in the air. He already spotted a few of thosse flying things buzzing around and didn't want to give those stupid humans a show. He can feel her body expanding in and out due to her heavy breathing as she tried to get comfortable. She draped his back with her wings and started to dig a small hole under her in the sand. Her way to build a small nest for their egg.
He can sense her fear so he leaned down and licked the top of her head. It's going to be fine.
The egg is too big, this is going to hurt. She panted while burying her face against his side.
Well, what do you normally do to relax during your egg laying?
She chuckled, Tell me a story. That might help ease my mind a bit.
A story?
Yes, just something that will distract me. She said, kicking more sand out from beneath her.
You know I'm not good with stories. He grumbled.
Oh come on, my King, I'm in pain here. How was I supposed to know your egg was going to be this big! She said lying on her side again.
He chuckled, And you said you wanted more.
Don't start. She cried and turned over till she was lying on her stomach with her bottom resting in the small hole she dug up. For the life of him, he didn't know why he looked down at her, but when he did he spotted red colored fluids coming out of her and he quickly looked away. Great, there's an image he will never erase in his mind. Please tell me that is normal? He asked.
Don't get mad at me because you looked. It just helps the egg slide out better. She said, hoarsely.
Spare the details. He asked cearly grossed out.
So how about that story? She asked.
Closing his eyes so he didn't have to see anything else, he leaned down so their foreheads could touch. She giggled then a second later, he felt a warm sensation seeping into his mind and started to remember what happened after rescuing her from his former pack's Alpha. They were talking about it yesterday so it was hard not to forget about it…
How could I forget about it either, my King. She said, trying to concentrate on his memory. We had our first fight because of it…..
0000000
It was late evening when he finally made it back to Scylla's pack and after setting Mosura down so the Stupid Squid could tend to her, he walked over to the coast so he can wash the blood off on his chest and stomach. He sat there sulking in the shallow part of the ocean while watching Mosura's blood rinse off of him and turning the water around him a faded green color. Now that the rush wore off and he made sure they were safe and not followed by the other members of Nyx's pack, the anger and hurt started to sink in. He turned his head to see the Stupid Squid talking to Mosura as they clean up her wounds. With silk, Mosura managed to patch up the gashes to keep herself from bleeding while another squid kaiju fetched a variety of plants to help her regain her strength.
I don't see why you can't use your healing powers. Those gashes on your face and shoulder are deep. The Stupid Squid asked while using her tentacles to grab Mosura's twisted wing to hold it still.
I'm too weak to use it. I really don't want to go back to my egg again. Mosura said, then spat wet silk on to her injured wing. It spread across the four torn spots to seal them from tearing even further. Alright, let's get this over with. She said to her friend.
Hold still. The stupid Squid said, then pulled the bent wing upwards to straighten it out. Mousra hissed and he could feel her pain in his head. The sharp pinches made his eyes twitch, but he quickly shook his head. Once it was done the wing fell to the ground and Mosura sighed.
Looks like I won't be flying around for the next couple days. She said, with a small giggle.
He looked down at the water again, still seeing her blood falling into it from his body and started to growl from lack of concern and carelessness she was displaying. Did she seriously giggle after everything that happened. He growled, I don't see the humor in this, Mosura.
The two females stopped what they were doing to look at him as he walked out of the water towards them. The Stupid Squid huffed, Well, it's about time you speak, you-
Shut it! He spat at her. This is not the time for your bitchy attitude! You were just as pissed off as I was when she took off over there!
I don't think this is the right time to talk about it when she's hurt. The Stupid Squid said. She wasn't mad, more hurt and embarrassed from what he said.
And whose damn fault is that! He shouted and stared down at his pretty moth. The sight of her with deep gashes and covered head to stinger in blood just made him angrier. He wanted to blame the fucking whore for trying to kill Mosura, but she wouldn't have been in that predicament if she stayed here instead of sneaking off in the night.
Mosura lowered her head in shame. Again, I'm sorry-
No, Sorry is not going to cut it this time! I told you I wanted nothing to do with those creatures. I told you they were going to harass you if we went over there, but did you listen. NO!
Mosura looked like she wanted to cry, but she was angry as well. More at herself than at him for yelling at her over her stupid decision. I just wanted to talk to the Alpha that's-
Why?! What was so fucking important that you had to go over there and talk to her!
I just wanted her to stay away from you. Let her know you were with me. How I was supposed to know she wouldn't take the news so well.
Even the Stupid Squid had to take a few steps back to roll her eyes from Mosura's naive trait. He just looked at her so dumbfounded, he didn't know how to react to that. She risks her life to go over there to get in some sort of female brawl knowing how brutal his kind is. Did she really think his violent nature was just something only he was born with? His entire species were ruthless, brutal, and cold and if there was someone or something in the way the only logical thing to do was attack. Even affection is no gentle matter to his Kind due to their strength.
Seriously Mosura, you didn't think a female alpha was not going to take the news well. Especially coming from someone like you? He asked, sarcastically.
What is that supposed to mean? She asked, getting peeved.
Now, now, let's not start spewing things at each other we're going to regret later. Let's just calm down-
Shut it, squid, this does not concern you! He roared at her.
Don't talk to her that way! Mosura shouted back. Now answer the question!
Are you THAT stupid to think she was going to back down because you told her too?! She was an Alpha and to her you were nothing, but some pet to me. And you're sitting her, cleaning your wounds while wondering why she acted the way she did?
Ok, maybe you're right. I'll admit that, but you didn't have to kill her! She didn't deserve to die, Gojira! Why couldn't you show her mercy!
His eyes bulged and he growled causing his plates on his back to glow blue. Blue particles flew out of his nose, but she didn't flinch from his appearance. She was going to kill you! Do you know how fucking horrible it was to see her choking you while threatening to tear off you head! It wouldn't be that hard, Mosura! I barely use any strength to snap her neck, beheading you would be like plucking a piece of grass out of the ground! And you wanted me to show mercy!
I would've been OK, you know that! She said, looking away.
Don't you fucking lie to me! He snapped, literally making her good wing fly back from his voice. I know for a fact you haven't laid an egg yet! You told me yourself if there is no egg, you will die for good and you wanted me to show MERCY!?
Now it was just stubbornness he was feeling from her. She knew he was right, but didn't want to look like a fool. Well, maybe she wouldn't have been so hostile towards me or you if you didn't treat her so badly back then.
Mosura, whatever you do, don't bring that up. The Stupid Squid said in a low whisper.
Now he gets it. She was trying to change the subject so it could get the attention away from her and put him in the spotlight. He knew it. He knew this would happen when he told her about his history with Nyx. She was so innocent, it was hard for her to believe someone like him or any male if that matters would use a female just to fuck. Oh no, don't you dare bring that up again! Are you THAT insecure!
You told me she was nothing to you, but that didn't stop you from having a night with her. Here I thought there was some sort of attraction you saw in her, but no, you just used her to get back at her Sire. Have you no respect for yourself or anyone! She panted, probably tried from her injuries and this emotional storm she was brewing in their heads.
You brought this upon yourself. You're the one who backed me into a corner to tell you about her and now you're mad at me for what happened back then. Why the fuck do you even care, we didn't even know each other back then. Why does it matter to you that much!
She hissed, You said you used her and other females for your own cheap entertainment, how can I be so sure you're not doing it to me as well!
He was taken aback from her accusation and from the hurt no doubt she was feeling from him made her cover her mouth with her claws. Even the Stupid Squid was speechless. How dare she think that way about him after everything that went on between them. After letting her see his deep, dark thoughts through their connection. The same connection that meant the world to her because it can only be shared between two kaijus. She's seen his fights, his rage and brutality he had to use to survive and never saw him differently, but the thought of him sleeping around with multiple females back in his younger days made her flinch?
The Stupid Squid took a gentle step forward towards the pair, Alright, enough, let's just calm down and call it a day, please.
How dare you say that to me after everything I've done for you! Do you honestly believe I would just use you for That because if that was the case I would've done That a long time ago and left! Are you fucking serious!
She got up from her sitting position and made her good wing flutter in anger. The colors turned bright red as well as her cheeks. Then why am I not Marked yet!? She screamed, though her voice was still hoarse. He stayed quiet because she finally stuck a cord with him. Great, she not only went over there to talk to Nyx, but she apparently chatted with some of the other pack members as well. When he didn't say anything, she took another step towards him while hissing in pain due to her wounds. I talked to the other females over there, I saw the bite marks on their necks and they treated me like I was so stupid for not knowing what it means. Why didn't you tell me that was your way of showing I'm with you? That I belong to you? Are you just stringing me along just like those other females? Is Nyx right about me not suited to be your Queen? You said you have deep feelings for me, was that a false claim as well!?
He never felt so pissed off at her and surprisingly hurt as well. He never felt such a hurt emotion like this before. Maybe because it was coming from her of all kaijus and she did love him so of course she needed to make sure he felt the same way. Sadly, being accused blinded him from thinking straight, one of his many flaws, so he didn't take it the "civil" way.
You don't think I care or see you more than those other females! I let you get close to me knowing how uncomfortable that makes me. I let you see my memories because I trusted you not to judge me. I even put of with HER (pointing at the stupid squid) attitude and smartass remarks she has about me because of you. How could you say I don't care when clearly you fucking don't!
I do care, I care about you when no one else would!
Yet, you knew how I feel about my pack. How I never wanted to see them again. You're the one who pushed me to tell you about Nyx and even after I told you, after the squid told you, to drop it. You didn't. That's all I asked from you was to drop it. Caring goes both ways, Mosura! If you had really care about my feelings, you wouldn't have gone over there and put your life as risk over something so stupid. You're getting upset with me for not showing that Bitch mercy. Well, it's YOUR fault she's DEAD in the first place! He screamed causing her to grip her head.
With that, he turned away from her and her stupid friend and stormed off before anything else could be said. He didn't want to because she was still weak and injured and it was his natural instincts to protect the one he loves, but right now, he was so upset to look at her for the moment. His head hurt like crazy, like someone was tearing pieces of his brain and skull apart due to their wild emotions. He could hear her calling out to him to come back, bringing back that memory of him running away after she told him she loved him, but he ignored it and continued on walking.
000000000
He didn't know why he was compelled to come back here, but he did it anyway. Standing there with a blank expression on his face he looked down at the dead body of the female Nyx and felt absolutely disgusted by it. She still had that shock look on her face like she couldn't believe a fellow lizard kaiju would do such a thing to her. She's been dead for hours and could already tell smaller creatures were picking meat off the carcass. There were a few chunks of flesh missing from her body, forming a large pool of blood around her. Yuck, and Mosura said he didn't show mercy, at least snapping her neck was quick. Stupid bitch brought this upon herself for thinking he could easily be persuade to take her as a mate or he would come back to the pack as if nothing happened between them and him. They did nothing to help his Sire out when he needed it, so how long would it be till they betray him as well if he did go back. He heard footsteps from behind him, but he didn't move or look back. If they wanted to challenge him, he had enough anger and moodiness to accept and win.
What have you done…..? A feminine voice said, horrified.
He slowly turned around to see a familiar face looking back at him with a slanted jaw.
Dalia…..He whispered, positioning himself in case she was going to attack.
Always so defensive, I'm far too old to fight, Gojira. She said, walking over to him.
She looked down at the dead body and shook her head. What a shame….
You're not here to start trouble are you?
Again, far too old to fight. She said, And no, I warned Nyx not to go after you because it would be dangerous to have you around due to the Fallen Star targeting you. But like her Sire, that power-hungry pride blinded her from common sense.
She left me no choice. I told her to leave the moth alone, but she didn't so it had to be done.
Ah, yes, the moth. Brave, but stupid little thing. Dalia said. I was surprised how much patience Nyx had when the tiny thing told her to back away.
Yes, she is very naive….but she cares….perhaps a little too much. He said.
So what are you going to do now? She asked.
That's none of your concern. He said. And if I were you, you never saw me. The last thing I need is to be ambushed for murdering the pack's Alpha.
Nyx's ruled the pack with fear, only a few loyal subjects will miss her, but we will be fine. The only thing I'm afraid of is Jayanta and Aditi fighting over as the new female alpha. They were Nyx's betas and I know Aditi won't fight fair to claim it. You know, you can still come back if you like since in a way you did regain your Alpha position. You know we still need an Alpha male.
Fat chance. I've been alright on my own for the last hundred years. There's nothing there I want or care. And as you can tell, I have no desire for any females in your pack.
Right, because of the little moth?
He snorted and tried so hard not to care. She has nothing to do with it.
You killed your own kind for her, Gojira. That right there is saying a lot.
What makes you think I killed her because of the moth? He asked, getting tired of these stupid questions.
Dalia gave him a sly smirk, The little thing told us you two have something special going on. I find it hard to believe the cold-hearted Gojira had the ability to like or love someone else. But when Nyx didn't come back after chasing after the moth, I had a feeling she ran into you and you saw what she did. Plus Jayanta told me you attacked her as well when she tried to harm the bug the other day. That's a lot of aggression and protection for someone to display.
He huffed, he did not want to talk to her about his relationship with Mosura. He frowns from the word relationship and recalls their lovers' spat they just had. Was there still a relationship? I'm leaving….
He suddenly felt gentle claws on his cheek and they slowly made him turn to face the aging female. Normally, he wouldn't allow this, but he knew Dalia, she was one of his mother's closest friends as well as Jayanta's parents. She was more of the serious one of the bunch and had to help get his mother out of a lot of sticky situations when they were young. He was not sure what, he was just going by what Dalia told him when he was still living with the pack. He stood still while she examined him and she couldn't help, but feel flabbergasted by his appearance. Jayanta was right, you look so much like Dagon even down to that serious face you're expressing to me. Sadly, I don't see much of Shri in you. I miss her so much sometimes.
He snorted and looked away. Don't act so innocent, Dalia. You were my mother's friend and you allowed her to die.
She left to help your Sire fight the Muto Prime. Alpha Apollo told us if we helped them, he would kill us without any mercy. He saw your Sire and you as a threat. At least be thankful he let you leave and live instead of killing you when you were a hatchling.
My mother would be very disappointed in you. She was your true Alpha and if she knew how big of a coward you and the pack was….
If you knew the ugliness and tension Alpha Apollo and Dagon had towards each other…
I don't see that as an excuse to betray her or my Sire. And now I can laugh about it since your so-called Alpha tried so hard to get rid of my Sire and me yet he's dead and the last bit of his bloodline is rotting as we speak.
Now there's some of Shri coming out. She always had a dark sense of humor. Dalia said, shaking her head.
His eyes narrowed. Part of him wished he could remember what his mother was like or his Sire. One memory he could remember other than his Sire showing him that blast he can fire from his mouth was waking up on a cool, crisp morning. His Sire telling him to get up, but to be careful not to wake up his mother since "you kept her up all night, you little brat," but he said it in a happy, playful way. One of the few times he would see him be playful and it was probably only when no one else was around, but him and his mother. He remember following him as fast as his little legs can go and even then he had a hard time keeping up with the giant beast. He was so small compared to his Sire, so massive and feared by everyone around him yet he was so caring and gentle when he grabbed his tiny body with his giant tail and placed him on his back. He had yet to sprout those sharp plates on his back so he was intrigued by the different cuts and patterns his Sire's plates were. Every time he takes a step they would light up with that lovely blue hue. He didn't know where they were going until he smelled salty water in the air and heard the waves crashing against the shore. His Sire told him it was time to explore the ocean. A second home to lizards kaijus like himself. At first he was scared, could he breathe down there which was quickly answered when his Sire pointed at the gills on his neck. Once they are underwater they will open up and help him breathe.
Still a little frighten, he held on to his Sire's plates as he plunges into the water till he was completely under it. He nearly lost it when he realized he can see clearly under it and could feel his gills working for the first time. As they went deeper in the dark depths of the ocean, the braver he got to the point he let out of his Sire's plates and allowed himself to float for a bit. There was barely any light, but he could feel his Sire's presence circling around him to make sure no predators disturbed them. He was told to kick his feet and use his strong neck to steer him around. It took some practice with his Sire using his large snout to bump him up from sinking or pushing him to move, but he got the hang of it in no time. Very impressive, his Sire told him, normally it would take hatchling months to a year to learn how to swim. Despite his cold demeanor to others, his Sire was always encouraging when it comes to him. With his Sire's plates glowing to give him more light, he spotted a bunch of fish swimming around and went after them.
Gojira? Lost in thought, are we?
He snapped out of his thoughts to see Dalia snickering like a mother would when she saw her hatchling doing something silly. He just gave her one last look before taking off to places unknown. He didn't want to go back to the stupid Squid's nesting ground and deal with Mosura at the moment. He just needed time to himself and cool off for a while.
He heard Dalia huffed from his departure and could tell she wasn't going to stop him from leaving. Take care of yourself. She said.
He waved her off and never looked back. Hopefully she's not going to tell the others she saw him or what he did to their Alpha...still….for some reason he just had a bad feeling. Hopefully it was just his paranoia talking.
000000000
Twenty days…..twenty fucking days and for some reason he still didn't want to go back to face Mosura. Still those twenty days sucked, it felt like he was in some sort a flashback where he was alone with ugly hot days and nightmarish nights as his only company. The first couple of days, he can hear her voice trying to contact him. Telling him to come back to talk because she was growing concern about him. Antsy was more like it, he knows how she gets when he leaves and he could feel her anxiety spiking higher and higher everyday. The fear that he wasn't coming back just like before. Ugh, her emotions were driving him insane and it was hard to think when he felt like something was pinching every inch of his head. The last thing she said to him was she knows where he's been hiding and will give him space till he was ready to see her again.
By the twenty-second day, he finally had enough and decided to go back to Scylla's pack because he figured that would be the only place she would be at. The only reason he was going back because yesterday, she blocked his connection to her and she would only do that for total privacy so he was naturally curious exactly why she needed to go that far. When he made it back to the squid's territory, he was greeted by a few of them, some were even kneeling while the little hatchlings circled around him and asked if they could climb on his back. He ignored them when he spotted the Stupid Squid at her nest watching her little ones play in the water further away.
Her eyes shifted to him when he stopped right in front of her. She cleared her throat, Wow, and here I thought you left for good. She said.
Shove it. I'm in no mood for your shit right now. Where's Mosura?
Why can't you find her through that connection thing? She asked, her voice dripping with resentment.
She blocked me and I don't know why?
I see. She tends to do that when she's about to lay her egg. She left a few days ago.
Why doesn't she lay it here? He asked. He figured being surrounded by friends and kaijus she knew it would be safer.
She's very picky with her location just like how she is when she's cocooning. The Stupid Squid said.
Oh,...He scoffed knowing he needed to act nice. Do you know where she went?
Maybe….She said, holding her head up high.
(Fucking Bitch) He thought while rolling his eyes. Alright, I'm sorry for the outburst. I didn't mean to yell at her or YOU like that.
I'm just messing with you. You were harsh towards her, but it was understanding. I yelled at her as well after you left because of the promise she broke to me. I even told her I don't blame you for being so upset to begin with or surprised you left to cool off. She said she knew she hurt you, but didn't mean it.
Wow, you actually stuck up for me? Is the world about the end? He asked, sarcastically.
Yeah, weird right? Anyway, she said she was going by some waterfall miles from here.
Waterfall?
Yes, she told me that was the same place you propose to her? She said, slyly. Never took you as the romantic type.
Oh, that waterfall. He remembered that day very well. When she flew down to check up on him and once again, he pushed her way. But all of a sudden while he was watching her leave, he knew this was his last chance to make things right with her, so he whispered those two tired words. "Don't go"
Alright, thanks for the info. I'll leave you alone now. He said and was about to leave when something hit him. Hey?
The Stupid Squid looked up at him. Yes?
Why would you give me her location anyway. This was a perfect opportunity to tell me to leave her for good? What gives?
She took a deep breath and exhaled. You saved her life. I was so mad at her for putting her life at risk knowing she didn't have an egg to fall back on. I told her it was no wonder you reacted the way you did. Sometimes she forgets her dying not only hurts her, but the ones who love her as well. The fact you are willing to kill for her, your own kind no less, just show how much you really love her.
He snorted. Well, I'm glad you finally got it. He said, as politely as possible before taking off once more.
I hope you two work things out….Gojira. He heard the Stupid Squid said.
I hope so too. He said, Thanks….Scylla…
00000000
~You're such a hard act for me to follow
Love me today don't leave me tomorrow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same.~
It took a couple days, it would've been shorter if he wasn't dragging his feet, but he made it there no less. The waterfall was huge, it was bigger than he was with a river that stretched out for miles and surrounded by a few trees and plants. The mountain size cliff still had those sore marks he left behind when he was rubbing his side and back due to his growth spurt. The smell of fresh water filled his nose as well as her wonderful scent. He looked down and found her sleeping right next to the waterfall, curled up in a tight ball with her wings surrounding her. Taking in all her features, he felt a sense of warmth in his cheeks and chest and breathed out slowly. They haven't seen each other in three weeks, the longest they've been apart since they've been in this relationship.
He took a few steps closer and let out a low growl that made his body rumble a bit. That's all it took for Mosura to open her eyes half way and didn't even flinch when she looked at him. Instead of a warm greeting, she groaned and turned around till her back was facing him, not saying a single word. Stubborn just like him since he was sure the water was hitting her face so the only thing he did was lie down behind her and pressed his forehead against his back. When she didn't move or respond to his touch, he let out a small snort that made her wings fluttered from the warm breath. Still not moving, he raised his head up and bit down on her antennas and tugged her backwards no so gently like he would have. Her back hit the water and he looked down to see her angry eyes looking up at him. She huffed and tried to get up, but was too tired to do anything including dealing with his shit no less.
He was never good when it comes to apologizing since most of the time he didn't care who he hurt as long as it wasn't him, but this was different since he did care about her. He continued to stare at her while hearing his tail thrashing in the background, making splash noises in the river that was only half as wide as he was. It looked like she was waiting for him to say something, so might as well get it over with. Look, Mosura...He bit his tongue a bit knowing this will cut his pride and ego down a lot….I'm….
I'm sorry. She said, looking away with a little blush on her face.
He exhales softly as she picks herself up and turn around so she can face him. Her large wings hit his face softly before settling down on the ground again. Her face slightly wet from the river and the waterfall. She gives him a deep frown with drooping antennas.
It was stupid of me to go over there to see your pack knowing how dangerous it would be. It was wrong of me to be so mad at you knowing I could've died and didn't have an egg to come back to. You had every right to yell at me like you did.
He stared at her, watching the mist and a few little droplets from the waterfall hit her back and a few times on her head. Jealousy doesn't suit you very well, Mosura.
I wasn't jealous. She said, rather quickly.
Perhaps, but you did feel threatened enough to go over there to tell that female to back off.
And I nearly paid dearly for it. She said, turning slightly to the right to show the visible scars on her shoulder and the one of her cheek. Her white fur did very little to cover it, but at least the rips in her wing were sealed up.
Which I don't get because you made it look like you didn't trust me. He said.
I do trust you.
Yet you thought if I saw that female again I would quickly throw you away to go back to her. He said, raising a brow. I'm lost here because even after I told you many many times I can't see myself with anyone, but you, you still test me.
She lowered her head, When I was over there and saw all those females so tall, so strong and acting sort of like you….I started to see how so insecure you felt when others would whisper about me wasting my time with you. How I can do better and how they couldn't believe I would pick someone like you out of so many admirers. Those females saw me the same way, so weak, tiny and disgusting and couldn't figure out why someone like you would be with someone like me.
You need to stop letting others' opinions get to you. They don't bother me.
Yes they do, because I can sense it. She said, reaching up to tap his head.
He really needed to practice more to keep her from sensing so much feelings from him. True, I'll admit, but I don't react to it like you do. Also, anything pretty and colorful is considered disgusting to my kind, so don't take what they said personal.
She let out a small giggle, but the sad face was still there. You know Nyx did have better offers for you than I did.
He snorted in her face, splashing her with blue particles which made her giggle from the ticklish feeling. For crying out loud, Mosura, don't start with that! He shouted.
She was stronger than me….
Who cares, you're strong in your own way.
She was an alpha and your own kind….
She was no alpha and I find her repulsive …
She said you can give her strong hatchlings.
I don't want hatchlings….never did….never will.
That's horrible. She said, sadly. You're really good with Scylla's little ones, why not have some of yours.
And have them ridicule and shunned for having what I have. I got it from my Sire so the chances of them getting it are very high. Why would I want to bring them into that world?
Is that why you never ask me for them? She asked, blushing big time.
His eyes grew big for her statement. Although she never brought it up to him about eggs, it was obvious she was thinking about them. He couldn't help, but scan her body and for the first time since they've been together, he never realized just how small and fragile she really was till now. Could she really bare his eggs knowing they were bigger than the ones she would lay. Then there was the whole Mating thing, his kind was ruthless when it comes to sex, there was no gentleness on either side. It always involved nails, teeth and blood. He remembered Nyx nearly clawing his eyes out with a big grin on her face before he made her bent over. He shook his head because he didn't want to think about that female anymore. She not only hurt Mosura, she also put so much doubt in her as well.
Are you saying you want to have my eggs? He asked.
She smiled, Well, I just figure that something mates do after courting. I mean, I really don't need them since I can live forever, but I wouldn't mind if you wanted them. I don't know what else I could offer you….
Mosura, will you stop that. He said, shaking his head. I can't believe you don't see what I can see…
What do you mean?
He blushed because he hated it when it came to expressing himself. Do you know what makes you better than those other females? Because I do. All they see is me as some kind of monster or something to fool around with or a way to get to the top, but you didn't. You saw ME and even after everyone told you to stay away, not to bother getting to know me, and me pushing you away every opportunity I can get, you still didn't. You stay knowing the risk because of how you felt about me. You say you have nothing to offer, well you do, you offered love, support and patience for me to be myself. To finally allow me to open up to someone else. Why would I give that up for someone like that worthless piece of shit.
She stared at him with those big blue eyes and didn't know what to say. Such a pity, she would tell him over and over again to express himself to her and when he finally did she didn't know what to say.
Will you say something… He huffed.
She cleared her throat, You saying that just makes me look like a bigger fool for going over there to face Nyx.
Well, you were…
She giggled and pressed her mouth against his for a tender kiss. She nuzzled his cheek with hers before pulling away when the feeling was getting good. She let out a small yawn before resting her forehead on his chin. Sorry, I laid my egg this morning and I'm still a little worn out.
He licked the top of her head, feeling her furry antenna tickling his tongue. It's fine.
They stayed that way for a moment while listening to the waterfall behind her till she spoke again. If I mean that much to you, why didn't you tell me about the marking? I mean, if that's how your kind shows others I'm yours why haven't you done it yet?
You nearly died from a scratch wound, what makes you think you can handle a bite?
Because I know you will be careful. She said, rubbing her forehead on his chin.
I can't be. I have to bite hard to leave a permanent mark. It's even harder for me since I know how sweet your blood is. He said, licking his lips.
I trust you. She whispered.
~I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only halfway there
But take me all the way, if you can take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only halfway there
But you can take me all the way, if you can take me all the way~

Her wanting him to bite made him shuttered and made his plates glow a bit. Using his nail, he tilted her head back and as far right as he could to take a glimpse at her exposed neck. Her body stiffen when he grabbed her shoulder and the side of her chest and let out a low growl. With his teeth out he quickly leaned down to her neck only to stop when he heard her whimper in fear. His sharp teeth barely touched her soft skin when he pulled back and sighed.
I'm sorry. She said, blushing once again.
It's fine. You're just too tense that's all. He said. Slightly disappointed, but understanding as well.
Well, what do females do to relax during this ritual? She asked.
He wanted to laugh, Normally we mate and bite them in the end. He said, bluntly.
Oh,...She said in a low voice. He can sense the nervousness in her mind. Not that she didn't want to, she just never did it before. What a rarity to find a female that was still pure, he thought. With that in mind, he pushed her backwards, making her back hit the river with a splash with water hitting the top of her head from the waterfall. Grabbing her legs, he dragged her body closer to him till her bottom was pressed firmly against his upper chest with his face right above hers. Her wings rose up high from the sudden move before wrapping them behind his thick neck. Confused he looked down at her and those red hot cheeks. Not in public. She said.
He grinned in a wicket sort of way. You didn't mind before?
I figure this might be a more private thing. She whispered, but he can still feel the high volume of tension in her.
Did she really think he was setting her up for sex? No, there was no way she could handle such a rough treatment. He had a hard time controlling his strength just to kiss and caress her, there was no way he could mate without losing himself. Last thing he wanted to do was hurt her even more and that's saying a lot about himself, if it was another female, he wouldn't give a shit. Damn, how this beautiful moth under him changed him so much. Besides, she was already so tense over the thought of him biting her, she might not be Ok with the whole mating thing.
My Love?
He gulped, feeling a large lump in his throat. Are you sure you want this? He asked, pointing at his teeth.
I can handle it. She said, taking a deep breath.
It's not just that, Mosura. Part of me didn't want to tell you about it because this is a sealed deal. My Kind mate for life. Doing this is my way of telling you there is no one else. I will never take another female and that goes the same for you. You can never allow another male get close to you, so if you have second thoughts about being with me this is your chance to say so.
She smiled up at him while wiping the water droplets off her mouth with her tongue. I love you. You're the only one I want to be with.
He didn't smile, instead leaned down and brought his tongue out. A little grooming might be the key to get her to relax so the bite won't be too painful. As gently as he could he licked the deep cut on her cheek before trailing it down to her neck. Her fur was so soft and fine, he can already feel a few strands sticking to his tongue as he licks her neck in a slow rhythm. Her body started to twitch a little and she let out a soft purr.
Stop, my Love….that tickles. She giggled.
He didn't. In fact he started to swirl his tongue around to help the skin become soft and tender. Her wings jerked, hitting the waterfall and causing some of it to fall onto his body. The water was cold, sending shivers down his spine. Without even thinking, his claws gripped each side of her body with his nails slightly digging into her flesh. Concentrate, he told himself. He didn't want to repeat what happened the last time when he lost himself and punctured holes into her skin. His tongue trailed back up to her mouth and gave her a firm kiss. While enjoying the taste of her kiss, he placed his left claws on top of her chest and started to glide them down to her stomach. Feeling the sharp points gently scraping her smooth skin. It made her twitch even more, but she was too busy twirling her tongue with his to notice the rough caress. It wasn't till they brushed across her sweet spot just above her stinger when she jerked violently and let out a loud hiss. She nearly bit his tongue from the sudden jump and he stopped completely.
You Ok? He whispered, feeling very warm inside.
Her eyes were cloudy as well and glowing beautifully. Her cheeks were still bright red, I just laid my egg….so I'm a little...tender.
Speechless, he couldn't help, but let his eyes follow the claw imprints in her fur all the way down to where his hand was. Right on top of her warm spot no less. His fingers shifted a bit causing her to twitch once again. She whispered a small "Ow" and tried to push his hand away with her leg. Easy. He said, grabbing her leg to hold it down.
I like to see you lay an egg and be alright afterwards. She whispered.
You know I can soothe it if you like? Even for a little while.
Her antennas perked up, What do you mean?
Without saying a word, he lowered his head down for a better look. A first time look to be exact since it was hard to see it before with all that fluffy fur in the way. It was only a matter of time before they started to explore each other's bodies so why not start now. The egg left a small mess with her fur slightly coated with green blood. He placed his tongue down on the blood covered fur and started to clean it. Her area was warm, the texture was different, but the taste was delightful.
She inhaled sharply and nearly pulled away from the sudden sensation, but he held her down with a gentle grip. She wasn't scared, it was just so sudden and by the way she was feeling in his head, she never received such a treatment before. It only took a few licks to clean the blood off, but he didn't want to stop especially when a low purr escaped her mouth. He held back his chuckle when he felt the embarrassment coming from her. Her mind felt like she was in a fog as she let out another purr. Damn, the satisfaction of pleasing her made his claws grip her legs tighter as he continued his soothing session.
You don't have to do this….She moaned only to twitch violently again when his tongue gave her a shallow thrust inside.
He felt a sharp point poking the bottom of his chin and his eyes shifted down to see her stinger out. Watch it. He said, firmly and gave her a hard nip next to her sweet spot with the side of his teeth. He licked her fur once again and let his tongue trail up to her right leg before gripping it with his mouth. They made eye contact for a second before he bit down enough to draw blood. She hissed in pain and shuddered from the pain. He stayed perfectly still to watch the blood leak down her leg before licking it up for a yummy taste.
My Love?...She purred. Her voice filled with desire and love.
Did that hurt? He asked, gliding his tongue across his teeth. He was getting restless from the need to bite her again. That one was just a little sample to see how she would react to it and from the looks of it, she took it very well.
She shook her head. Her body felt warm and relaxed from his pleasure grooming. With the taste of her blood still fresh in his mouth, he scooped her up into a sitting position with his claws digging into her back for a firm hold and looked at her.
He let out a small growled with his eyes and plates glowing blue, You're mine, Mosura. No one else can have you.
She gave him a small smile and kissed his snout. I love you….my King…..
Hearing that coming from her sent him over the edge. My Queen….
He pulled her close and sank his teeth into the tender skin of her neck and shoulder. She screeched while her wings flared up high and sparkled the air with her shimmer dust. Her blood spilled into his mouth with some seeping into her fur in front of her. Her body went limp with her head resting on his cheek and started to pant. (I'm sorry) He said and sank his teeth even deeper into her skin which made her hiss again, but kept herself very still. He didn't mean to bite so hard, but he needed to make sure it's going to leave a good permanent mark. He finally let her go, but she still didn't move.
Are you alright? He asked before licking up her blood to stop the bleeding.
She nodded against his cheek while letting herself calm her breathing. That didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. She whispered, her body getting heavy against him. No doubt spent from his teasing tongue.
When the bleeding finally stopped, he blew his hot breath against the mark to dry it then held her close to him. They stayed quiet where only the sound of the waterfall could be heard and he whispered, I'm glad to hear that-
00000000
He pulled his forehead away from his Queen when he felt a sharp pain piercing through his head thanks to her giving her body one last painful push. He looked down at his Queen who was panting while resting her little body against his side. Her fur was slightly damp and she was a little pale, but she raised her head up to look at him with a worn out smile.
Is the egg Ok? She asked in an exhausted tone.
He looked behind her to see his egg nestle safely in the hole she dug up. Covered in leftover fluids, it had the same dark gray color and texture like her other eggs except it was more oval than round. Sadly, now that the egg was out, he could no longer hear the little one's heartbeat next to its mother's. Other than that, the egg looked fine. There's not to look at till the little one is born. He was just glad it was finally here because he didn't think his Queen could expand herself anymore. He curled his tail around the egg and his Queen then lowered his head down to her face. She was nearly asleep when he licked the top of her head and nuzzled her with his snout.
It's fine, my Queen. You did great. I'm proud of you…...
