Chapter Twenty-One
Moving into the jungle in the direction of his family's home, Cohra kept a firm grip of Marion's body in his arms to where she was comfortable and could hold their newborn son in a comfortable way while Mariah was moving alongside him and there were eight yautja soldiers walking at his sides in two lines, making sure to protect them if they happened to run across any trouble out in the jungle on the way to their destination.
He was pleased to find out that the elder had went out of his way to make sure that Marion, Mariah, Autou and himself would be safe and sound during the trek back home with eight of his best soldiers that served as guards at the mother ship traveling at their sides. It showed to him that the elder was in full support of the yautja mating with humans and creating a whole new breed of yautjas that would be stronger and more advanced than they had been before, and was prepared to do whatever it took in order to ensure that nothing would jeopardize that.
While he was walking at a steady pace, his eyes looked down to his mate in his arms to find her resting in his arms while his son was sleeping away on her chest where her arms were holding him so he could feel her skin to his. The sight of what was before his eyes had him to smile and feel good. In the past several months, he had met a human female that was the one for him to be with and conceived a child with her that would be the beginning of a revolution among the humans to witness a new breed of beings that would help the yautja take over the planet and assist them in getting to and maintaining the top of the food chain.
His attention shifted down to the ground to find Mariah moving at a steady pace beside him, and doing something that he wasn't planning on: Scouting the area out. Although the soldiers were doing a very good job at making sure that there was nothing and no one around to threaten them during the hike to the house, she was still watching for any sign of someone in the area that might try to hurt any one of them or the guards that were present. Mariah was accustomed to scanning the area out from him having taught her what she needed to do in order to be on her toes when it came to being out in the jungle by herself, and he was very proud of what he saw from her.
He had been working hard in the months since he had adopted her as his child to show her some little traits of that of the yautja's scouting techniques and being aware at all times of her surroundings. The next thing on his agenda with her training was to start working with her on fighting and defending herself. She already knew how to make sure the area was clear of threats. Now, it was time for him to show her how to handle herself when it came to her having to fight with someone that was wanting to hurt her or those close to her.
His focus shifted from Mariah at the sight of one of the soldiers at the front of them motioning them to stop and get down. Cohra knelt down on the ground and had Mariah to do the same with him. He looked on as the front two yautja had the others that had been there to spread out in the area. There was something or someone in the area and they were hiding out to the sides, and the guards needed to see about dealing with them in a quick and, possibly, lethal manner to prevent them from doing anything to them that would have their lives put in danger. While he was knelt down, his attention shifted to where Mariah was to find her looking to him in concern. The sight had him to speak to her in a way to try and help calm her nervousness about what was going on at that moment.
"Everything will be all right, Mariah." He said, whispering. "The guards will make sure that there is no danger up ahead of us to keep others from hurting your mother, you, your brother or me."
"Papa..."
"Yes, Mariah?"
"There is someone hiding behind the tree about ten feet away from us...and he has weapons on him."
Suddenly, he noticed Mariah showing fear in her eyes in the direction behind him. Cohra turned to see a human general to be emerging from a spot with weapons on him. This man had used others in his group as a diversion of sorts so that way the guards that were with them would leave his family unprotected so he could make his move to do what he felt needed to be done in order to get Marion and her children from him. The sight of him being there had him to be on edge for a moment before it disappeared and his rage started to come to the surface. He eased Marion down onto the ground at the base of a tree with their son in her arms when his attention moved to the general who was standing not far from him with a smirk on his face. Cohra let out a warning roar towards the man who was so foolish as to try to take him down or remove his mate and children from him.
No one was going to take what belonged to him away from him. His family was his and no one else would take them from him if he had anything to do or say about it.
His focus on the general narrowed more on him as he listened to him speaking in a cocky tone in his voice, delivering his response to him letting out a warning roar.
"You can do that as much as you want," the man said, "but I will still be leaving this area with your body dead and your family coming with me back to the base for testing as to what your kind has done to them."
The idea of this monster choosing to try and take his mate from him, as well as his children, for the pursuit of testing them, fueled the rage burning inside of him even more and had him rushing towards the general without prejudice. If this general was out there with the intent of trying to take his family from him, he would be sadly mistaken by the time he got done with him.
