While walking to the dwelling in Raj'ah's arms, I looked around scared and very confused. I seen some of the Yautjas with humans. The humans looked at me with sad and angry eyes. I looked at them for awhile until Raj'ah placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked up to him with fearful eyes. Until all the sudden I heard a scream. "No...no please I don't want this..." I turned my head and spotted a human female being dragged in by a very large Yautja.
"Please...please...please!" All the sudden the door closed causing me to turn my head away from the scene. I heard a purr from behind me. I turned and looked at Raj'ah and Rai'eka who were looking at me with concern expressions on their faces. "Come, Alex." Raj'ah said. I nodded and looked down at the ground while they walked me to their dwelling. While half way to the dwelling, Raj'ah stopped me, putting me down gently on my feet. I looked at him in confusion. "Come young one. Let go take a little walk." I looked at him and Rai'eka and nodded at him. Raj'ah took me somewhere away from the market. I was so nervous about what he would do to me. Would my life be like that woman, doing stuff against my own will? I was shaking until all the sudden I heard Raj'ah purring. He must have noticed that I was shaking. I looked up and saw a beautiful pond with some beautiful fauna that I have never seen in my life. I looked at Raj'ah and he thrilled at me. I walked towards the pond and bent over and some scary fish. I backed away from the pond and turned towards Raj'ah who was sitting on the rock. He patted his lap. I was nervous at first, but then again Raj'ah did save me twice and treated me with kindness that he deserved much more. I walked towards him and sat down on his lap. "What you saw back there," Raj'ah explained. "That's how most of my people treat oomans. Like slaves and pets. With you, your the exception." I looked at him. "I saved you when you were a pup, and now." I nodded my head. "If you think that I would treat you like that ooman female, think again. I am bound to my yin'tekai that I would save you from certain death." I looked in confusion. "I won't hurt you, Alex. I have honor and If I harm you, I would not only be dishonorable to you but to my people." I nodded my head, understanding him. I touched my pendant around my neck. "The necklace you gave me when I was a child, I haven't taken it off and yet it still looks like it was brand new." Raj'ah scooped the pendant from her fingers and looked at it before looking back at me. "On my planet, when a male Yautja gives the pendant to a female, it means that he chooses her as his life mate." I looked at him. "I remembered our conversation earlier about that. but one question, Why me?" "You are special to me when I first saw your eyes." "I used some contacts to cover my purple eyes cause some people think that I'm weird. I get bullied all the time because of my my purple eyes." I said, looking down. I felt Raj'ah's fingers on my chin and felt him tilted my head up. "You are not weird." Raj'ah purred. "You are beautiful." I blushed while Raj'ah chuckled. "About the life mate...I..." "You won't have to worry." Raj'ah explained. "I won't force you unless you are ready." I looked at him in confusion. "Other males would jump into mating when the ooman females don't want it." "You are giving me a choice?" Raj'ah nodded. "I maybe the arbitrator, but I have honor, Alex. I won't mate with you unless you are ready." I smiled at him and threw my arms around my neck, hugging him. My stomach growled, causing me to blush a little more. Raj'ah chuckled at her. "Come, let's get back to my dwelling. You need to eat." Raj'ah got me off of his lap and together we walked back to his dwelling where Rai'eka and a male Yautja waited for us. "Alex this is Fatal, my life mate." Rai'eka said. I bowed my head a little in respect. Fatal did the same thing. "Arbitrator Raj'ah has been telling us about the little ooman with beautiful eyes like amethyst jewels." I blushed and looked at the ground. "Come Fatal. Let's not make the young one shy." Raj'ah chuckled, guiding me into his dwelling. I looked around. It looks like an ordinary home back on my planet, but covered with furs. The dwelling is huge, fit for a celebrity! "Come." Raj'ah motioned. "I will show you our room." "Our room?" I asked anxiously. Raj'ah nodded and held out his hand to me. I took his hand and he lead me upstairs. I looked around at some decor. I never see so much skulls as a display. Mostly were skulls from Raj'ah's kills I presume. Along the way I saw a room and I stopped there and took a look. It looked like a prayer room, cause I see some candles on an altar with a statue that looks like a goddess. "Me and my family prayed to Paya, our goddess for safety, health, and good fortune on our hunts. Like you pray to your own God back on the ooman planet." I nodded, understanding his concept. I looked at him and he looked at me. "Come." I followed him to the room and i saw the door open automatically. The room is bigger than I imagined. It reminded me of a master bedroom only its twice bigger than a master bedroom back on earth. The bed was covered in different shades of brown, Black and Tan color furs. Must be from his past hunting trips, I thought to myself. I saw a dresser by the wall and a table with two chair by the window. I looked and saw a balcony. "Wow..." I smiled in awe. "Do you like it?" Raj'ah asked me. I turned to him and smiled. "I love it." "This is where we will sleep." Raj'ah said, pointing the bed. I walked over and sat down on the furs. They felt so soft on my skin. Raj'ah followed me and sat down next me, causing me to blush. Raj'ah chuckled and stroked my cheek gently with his taloned fingers. "It's seems only yesterday that you were a very small pup and now, you are grown into a beautiful ooman." "I know huh.. I just can't believe that it was you that saved me from those men all these years ago." Raj'ah clicked at me and took off his mask and his armor. I watched him places his armor aside and looked at me. "I have some rules for you. You are free to walk around the dwelling and the courtyard, but when you leave the dwelling to go explore, me or Rai'eka have to escort you." "I understand, Raj'ah." "Good." Raj'ah trilled. Before he went on with his rules, we heard a knock. "Excuse me, N-yaka'de Raj'ah" A servant came in. "Supper is ready." "Thank you Naxa." Raj'ah nodded. Naxa looked at me for a moment and left the room. "N-yaka'de?" I asked in wonder. "In my language, it means Master. I am the Master of this dwelling and what I say goes." "Yes, N-yaka'de." Raj'ah looked at me and shook his head, chuckling at me and cupped my cheeks, stroking my cheeks softly with his rough yet gentle taloned hands. "You don't call me, N-yaka'de, Alex. Just Raj'ah." "What about around the servants, and your people?" I wonder. "You can call me Arbitrator, or N'yaktara." He got up and took my hand gently. "Come, supper is ready and you need to eat." "Okay.." I smiled, shaking my head. I can tell that my future here on this planet will not be an easy one, but as long as I got friends like Raj'ah, Rai'eka, and Fatal then everything will be okay.
