Few weeks later...
I walked with Rai'eka as she took me to a big city market.
"What's going on?" I asked her.
"Well, Raj'ah want me to take you out shopping." Rai'eka explained.
"I know that, but why?"
"He wants to surprise you." I shook my head.
Since my transformation, Raj'ah has always been full of surprises. He and I made love almost every night since we got home from the game preserve planet. Damn, we're like animals! Earlier before my transformation, Raj'ah wants to take me into the temple so that we can be marked as life mates. As far as he told me that it's like a wedding back on my homeplanet. And after the ceremony, we go to another room in the temple and we mate in front of the Gods.
"Here." She showed me a beautiful purple dress that shined. I looked at it and smiled, it's very beautiful and elegant.
"Where's Raj'ah?"
"He is hunting with Scar and Fatal." Rai'eka answered.
I smiled. I can't wait to see him tonight. After we bought the dress and the shoes, we went home. The sun is still high and from the looks of Rai'eka, I needed to get groomed. I sometimes hate for someone to groom me. But I have to look nice for Raj'ah. After about an hour of being groomed by Rai'eka, I got in my dress and I looked at myself. I smiled to myself. I have changed a lot since I was brought to Yautja Prime. It wasn't easy with me being an ooman. But now thanks to Paya, I got a second chance to live, only to become a hybrid and to live longer as the Yautjas.
"You look beautiful." Rai'eka smiled at me.
I smiled at my new sister. Rai'eka has always been amazing to me. We both left her room and met up with Lex, who is pregnant and Heather who looks like she and Thwei had a wild night.
"You look beautiful, Alex." The girls said to me.
"Look at me? Look at you girls! You are glowing!"
The girls blushed at my statement.
"Let's get going!" Together the girls left the dwelling.
"Where are we going?" I asked nervously.
"You will see." Rai'eka giggled. I looked at Heather and Lex who are giggling to themselves. a few minutes later, we arrived at a really big building that is very old.
"Why are we at the temple?"
"Because we are becoming life mates." Raj'ah explained as he came out of the door with Fatal, Scar, and Thwei following him.
I looked at him and smiled. Raj'ah came forward in his armor and his cape. I can tell that his armor is shiny and polished. I looked at him with loving eyes.
"You look beautiful, Alex." Raj'ah took my hand and kissed it.
"Come, the High Priest is waiting for us." I smiled and together we walked into the temple where the High Priest is waiting for for the two.
"We only need the two, except for your own witnesses." The High Priest explained.
I looked at Rai'eka and smiled.
"I choose Rai'eka. You took me in and cared for me when I was brought on board after Raj'ah saved me for the second time."
"I choose Scar, my friend, and my brother." Rai'eka and Scar walked towards the two.
"Alright, you four follow me." The High Priest walked into the building.
"We'll keep an eye on your mate." Fatal and Thwei bang their chests. Alex turned at looked at her friends. She smiled, turned around and walked inside the temple with Raj'ah, Rai'eka, and Scar. The rest walked back to Raj'ah's dwelling.
"Thwei," Heather asked.
"Do you think that we can be lifemates?"
Thwei looked at Heather and smiled. "Of course."
"Paya has blessed us this day as we bring two different Yautja together. Only of course, Alex is a hybrid." I chuckled softly while the High Priest continued.
"Being Life mates is a never easy task. It takes a lot of work, love, and support. Do you have what it takes to stay life mates for all eternity?"
I looked at Raj'ah and he looked at me.
"I do, high priest." I answered proudly.
"I do too." Raj'ah smiled in pride.
The High Priest went behind the altar and grabbed a bone with some green blood.
"In my hand is the toe of the Kainde Ameda and in the bowl is Kainde Ameda blood. You two will mark each other as mates."
Raj'ah went first and grabbed the bone covered in blood from the bowl and went to my lower left shoulder and with a gentle graceful strokes, he drew his own symbol on it. He placed the bone back in the bowl while I grabbed the bone, and got some plenty of the blood. Carefully as I could, I went to Raj'ah's left shoulder and traced his symbol on his skin. I placed the bone back in the bowl while the High Priest came towards us.
"The Gods has blessed your Union, and will bless you on a beautiful family. I now pronounce you two lifemates."
Raj'ah and I turned to each other and held each other in our arms.
"If you two will follow me, I will show you where you two can mate as a sign of your devotion together."
I looked at Raj'ah and he encouraged me to follow the High Priest. I looked behind me and all I can see is Raj'ah.
"Rai'eka and Scar can't follow us." He explained.
I nodded my head and followed the High Priest where he lead us to a chamber. He opened the door and I looked in. The chamber looks so earthly. It has moss and water flowing along by the corner, and in the middle was a bed on a stone table. On the other side of the bed are candles that are lit. I watched as the High Priest chanted a prayer.
"He is chanting to Paya for us to have healthy pups and for our statuses as life mates to be eternal."
I smiled at my mate with loving eyes.
"Now that the ritual is complete, it is time." I felt nervous.
Will the High Priest be watching? I watched him walking past us and left the chamber.
"He will not watch us mate." Raj'ah explained.
"This is for the Gods to see." I was relieved.
I would feel embarrassed if the High Priest watched us mate.
"Come." Raj'ah said, holding his hand out for me.
I took his hand and we walked towards the bed. We both looked at each other, with our arms wrapped around each other. Raj'ah immediately undo the knot on my dress and I allowed my dress to fall into the floor leaving myself half naked except for my loincloth. I helped Raj'ah undo his armor, and his cape until he was in his loincloth. We kissed so passionately that I didn't notice that he carried me to the bed. He gently laid me down while he climbed up. Our musks started to take total on us and before I know it, passion took over us as he took our loincloths off. He surged inside of me so gentle yet so hard. While we made love, candles light glowed on our skins as we made love. Before I knew it I screeched and cried out in pleasure while I cummed so hard that I thought I was going to claw through Raj'ah's shoulders. I can feel Raj'ah thrusting inside of me so hard that he threw his head back and roared triumphantly. He breathed very heavily while I blacked out from all of the passion and pleasure that succumbed me.
Raj'ah looked down at his beautiful mate, he purred with joy. It never gets old for both of them. He gave her a kiss on the lips. He smelled every inch of her body. She smells so sweet since her transformation as a hybrid that he can no longer smell the full blooded human within her. While he looked at her lovingly, he can also smell another scent from her lower area. He was about to trill with excitement, but decided at the last minute to calm down. He laid down next to her, placing his taloned hand on her belly. Alex has conceived, she is pregnant with their first child. He is so thrilled that he was going to be a father that he wants to celebrate. But for now, he will hold onto his mate as sleep consumed him. By the time he woke up, he saw that Alex is still asleep. Chuckling, he began to trill at her, causing her to wake up.
"Hey..." His mate smiled at him.
"How do you feel?"
"So goooood..."
Raj'ah chuckled at her and he got up from his mate.
He put on his clothes and armor while I watched. Raj'ah looked at me and his lower mandibles flexed in and out, clicking. He loved watching me like this. He got onto the floor, picked up my clothes, my shoes and handed them to me. I put them on and I was about to get up when I felt lightheaded. Raj'ah took notice of that and immediately scooped me into his arms.
"Raj'ah," I whined.
"I can walk myself."
"Not in this condition." Raj'ah smiled and looked at his mate as she passed out in his arms.
Thrilling in satisfication, he walked out of the chamber with his mate in his arms. The High Priest looked upon the two lovers and can smell Raj'ah's scent along with another scent.
"Congratulations, Arbitrator Raj'ah." He whispered.
Raj'ah nodded in pride and left the temple. Arriving at the dwelling, Raj'ah walked in with his mate, sleeping in his arms. Thwei, Scar, Fatal, Rai'eka, Lex, and Heather were about to greet when Raj'ah looked at the males and snarled at them, causing Thwei, and Scar to protect their mates. Raj'ah walked past the group and went upstairs to his and Alex's room. He gently placed the sleeping hybrid down on the bed and watched her. To him, she is so beautiful and she will become a good mother to their pup. The thing is, he needs to break the news to Alex and letting her know that she is pregnant. He took one whiff of her pregnancy scent and quietly left their room. Arriving downstairs, Raj'ah looked at his best friends.
"I didn't mean to..."
"It's okay, my brother." Scar smiled.
"We know that Alex is having your child." Raj'ah looked at his family.
"Congratulations, Raj'ah." Everyone said, quietly.
"Thank you, all of you."
"We will back down if you and Alex walked together."
"I will try and calm down."
"Brother," Rai'eka walked towards him.
"You are going to be a father. It's normal for the males to be like this when the females are pregnant. You should be very proud."
"I am, I am proud to have a very strong mate like Alex."
"We should go." Scar said. "So that you can be the only one to tell Alex the news."
"Us too." Thwei said.
"Me too." Rai'eka said.
As the group exchanged their goodbyes and left the dwelling, Raj'ah decided to whip up some food for Alex. Excited to be the father, Raj'ah can't wait to tell the news to her right away.
