Later on that night Raj'ah invited his friends over for dinner. I don't know what kind of friends he has besides Fatal, and Thwei, but I feel more nervous and anxious at the same time. I hope Thwei comes over and brings Heather along she and I became good friends since on board the ship. I sat down on the couch wearing a fur dress and sandals. My hair was left loose and tameable. I'm so surprise to see my hair like this. After leaving my hair in braids for about a week, I needed to give my hair a good break from the tight braids that Rai'eka did for me. I waited with eagerness when I heard a knock. I looked at the door nervously. A servant opened the door and in comes a Yautja that I have never seen before. It looks a little taller than Rai'eka yet an inch shorter than Raj'ah. I became so nervous that I was going to hide when that Yautja looked at me and growled. I was shaking literally. I wanted to get up, but I couldn't out of fear of death.
"Set'gin!" I heard Raj'ah walking over to the Yautja. They both bang their chests and placed their hands on their shoulders and shook in greeting.
"Welcome home my mei'hswei." Set'gin greeted.
"Thank you."
"I see that you have an ooman pet." Raj'ah looked over at the couch and spotted me hiding behind the arm rest.
"Come, Alex." Raj'ah encouraged.
Slowly as I could, I got up and looked at Raj'ah who trilled at me. I walked over, shaking very nervously and stood next to him.
"This is Set'gin. My hunting brother. Set'gin, this is Alex, my new pet." I looked up Set'gin so nervously that I thought that he would kill me.
"If you think that I'm going to kill you young ooman, think again." Set'gin looked at me.
"With those eyes like a rare jewel, there is no way I can kill you. Besides Raj'ah would have my head for this."
I smiled, relaxing a bit as Set'gin looked at Raj'ah. "Will this...Alex be joining us for dinner?"
"Yes she will." Raj'ah answered.
He lowered his hand towards mine and took it with a gentle grasp and the three of us went outside in the courtyard.
"How was the hunt on the ooman planet?" Set'gin asked.
"Fruitful as ever." Raj'ah answered.
He and Set'gin sat down, while I remained standing. Raj'ah looked at me and patted his lap. I walked over and sat down while Set'gin raised his eye brows.
"How did you find this ooman?"
"I found her on the ooman planet she was just a suckling. She about to be taken and sold as a slave because of her eyes and her beauty. I rescued her after those bad blood ooman males were going to kill her as revenge for what happened cycles ago."
"I see." Set'gin nodded.
"Greetings, Raj'ah." I turned and spotted Thwei with Heather.
I felt relieved when Raj'ah let me down and I walked over to Heather.
"Hello, Alex." "Hello, honrable Thwei." I bowed my head.
"Please Alex, cut the formal greetings and call me Thwei."
"But-"
"Just do it." Heather whispered to me.
"Okay, Thwei."
While Thwei walked towards his hunting brothers, we decided to go inside and sat down in the garden room.
"So, how's your new home?" Heather asked me.
"It's great. Raj'ah and I got our own room which is a little odd, then again I seen some couples move in together before marriage anyways."
"Same with Thwei." Heather explained.
"I slept with Thwei and he gave me this."
I noticed a pendant with an turquoise pendant with a few hints of Amber in the jewel. It has some teeth of a creature.
"Thwei asked me to be his life mate. I said yes."
We both squealed in delight at the news.
"Im so happy for you, girl!"
"Me too!" We both giggled.
"Call me crazy, but I have been engaged since I was 7."
"Nothing wrong with that." Heather said.
"When the time has come for you and Raj'ah to become lifemates, you will see it."
We heard some noises coming towards us. I looked and spotted a spiky beast that was running towards us. I placed Heather behind me and faced the strange beast. It snarled at me until all the sudden, it tackled me on the ground.
"Alex!" Heather cried out. I felt the beast licking me, causing me to laugh.
"Hahahaha! Stop it that tickles!" The beast continued to lick me until it backed away from me slowly.
I looked at the beast in worry until I looked up.
"Get over here you worthless piece of shit!" I know that voice anywhere.
I got up and placed Heather behind me. The beast looked at me with sad eyes.
"You heard me, you worthless animal!"
I saw Kai'ro coming into the garden room with a leash in his hand. While the beast was going to its master slowly, I took a breath and placed my arm in front of the beast.
"This beast is not going anywhere."
"Alex..." Heather gasped.
"Give me the hound or else." Kai'ro snarled at me.
"No." I growled at him.
Kai'ro growled at me while I glared at him. Heather slowly tried to move away from me. The beast looked at her and slowly walked towards Heather, protecting her.
"You are risking your life for this worthless beast?" Kai'ro snarled.
I gulped a little. He walked towards me while my heart is beating so fast.
"I can sense your fear. Your heart beating so quickly. You are afraid of me, you worthless zabin."
I can see Heather slowly walking away with the beast following her. I looked at Kai'ro, as he wielded his knife out of his sheath. He grabbed my throat and raised me higher. I struggled to breathe through his grasp.
"What did Raj'ah really see in you? A worthless pathetic creature who is weak and different from us?"
I tried to maintain my breathing, but it was no use. Darkness clouded my eyes. I saw Kai'ro draw out his dagger and aimed it at my heart.
"Not so tough, aren't you?"
I closed my eyes, awaiting for my death when I felt his hand letting go my throat. I dropped on the floor, laying sideways. I looked up at the two Yautja arguing at each other before darkness consumed me.
When I came to, I was laying on the couch. My throat hurts really bad. I tried to get up when I felt a hand pushing me back down.
"Easy, young one."
I looked up and spotted Raj'ah, Rai'eka, Fatal, Thwei, Set'gin, Heather looking at me in concern.
"What happened?"
"Kai'ro attacked you and I went and got Thwei." Heather explained.
"I remembered protecting that spiky creature from Kai'ro, all the sudden, he choked me and I blacked out."
Raj'ah stroked my cheek softly.
"Where is he?"
"He left," Raj'ah answered.
"I gave him a warning that if he harms you again, I will have his head on my wall." I
nodded wincing in pain. my throat is hurting me.
"Here." Raj'ah handed me a cup of water. I drank it, slowly.
"You are very brave to stand up to Kai'ro." Thwei nodded.
"No ooman would dare do that to him." I tried to speak, but Raj'ah placed his fingered claw on my lips
"Don't speak, young one." Raj'ah said.
I saw a servant handed him a clear glass of a green colored serum. He helped me up and handed me the glass. I sniffed before I took a drink of it. It tasted so nasty that nearly gagged. All the sudden, my throat was feeling a lot better.
"Wow.. That tasted so nasty!" I shook my head.
Raj'ah and the others laughed at me. I got up and the same creature that I nearly protected, came over and licked me.
"Thwei said I can keep her." Heather said.
"It's a she?" I asked, bending my head down.
"It's a she, and I named her Nala."
"Good name." I told her.
I went towards the mirror and saw to my surprise, the bruise isn't there.
"The serum is designed to heal the any injury. Bruises, scrapes you name it." Raj'ah explained as I looked at him and smiled.
"Are you hungry?"
I nodded and we sat outside for dinner without anymore incidents.
Later on that night, I was expecting a punishment from Raj'ah. He hasn't said anything about punishing me because of my actions today, but I would never know. I feel...nervous, scared, mostly curious cause Raj'ah has never punished me before. I was looking out the window thinking about what he would do to me when I heard the door open. I looked and saw Raj'ah coming into the room, taking off his armor and his wrist gauntlets. He hung them on his stand gently and looked at me. He sat down on the bed and patted his lap. I walked slowly towards him with my head down and sat on his lap. I felt claws going underneath my chin and was lifted towards his face. I saw his mandibles stroking my cheeks.
"I'm not going to punish you, Alex." Raj'ah said.
I was in shock. I don't want him to fight or defend for me just because Kai'ro is a complete asshole.
"You were very brave to face my brother. You're fighting skills have been improving since I brought you on board."
I blushed a little bit, causing him to chuckle at me.
"I...want to try something." I looked at him in confusion.
"Don't move." I nodded slowly and waited.
He was getting closer towards me until I felt his mandibles hugging my cheeks and his lips touched mine. I opened my eyes in shock. I expected his teeth to scratch my lips or bite them off, but no his teeth is being gentle towards me. I like the kiss very much that I wanted more. Raj'ah can tell that I wanted more, so he let go of my face and turned me around so that I am straddling on his hips. I can feel his codpiece on my shaft. I moaned as he took my lips and kissed me again. Before it became serious, I pulled away from him.
"Stop." I said, breathing very heavily. Raj'ah gave me a soft click. He understood what I didn't want and nodded his head.
"I know." He whispered to me. He sat me on the bed.
"Wanna talk about our lives?" I asked hesitantly. He looked at me and nodded.
"Since that night, I went and looked for you. But nothing. As I grew up, I forgot all about you and what you looked like. Although I still remember that night."
"I see." Raj'ah chuckled.
"Your family?"
"My mom died when I was 10 years old, and my dad died when I was 17." I answered sadly. "My dad had alcohol issues so badly that my uncle and my aunt took me in and raised me."
Raj'ah watched me as I sighed.
"I missed them so much."
"One day, you can go and visit your family, only I get to be with you." I smiled at Raj'ah.
"I know that." I giggled.
For the rest of the night, we continued talking about our pasts before our reunion until we both fell asleep holding each other in our arms.
