Chapter- 14

*****Another Update*****

A sweet thank you to angel897, Ariana and Cutie Pie for their honey sweet reviews.

Kahli's feet stormed forward to rip the damned harlot apart, but abruptly halted as she saw Victor grab that Rhonda's ass to pull her closer. His lips were devouring that bitch's lips as they did hers. Her animal screamed in rage. How dare he? How could he kiss some other woman like that? He was HER mate, damn it! He was hers, ONLY HERS! A single tear escaped the corner of her eye when she saw the wolf girl winked at her over Viktar's shoulder, as if silently taunting 'who has the upper hand now?'

Trembling, Kahli's feet retreated, she just wanted to get out of fucking place. She spun around and headed towards the door, she just felt like going back home and crying, what? No! She won't cry, at least not for that ass-hole! He wants other girls, then he can stick it in anyone but her. She can't be of someone like his, NEVER!

V-V-V-V-V-V-V

Victor's eyes widened in great surprise as the wolf woman captured his lips in a kiss. She had never kissed him in all their couplings in the past. But then he smirked against the scarlet lips and pulled her closer. It was definitely a crazy reminder of their nights they spent together. He tried to kiss her deeply but something was wrong, something strange. It didn't taste right, didn't feel right. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Kahli's face, her bright chocolate eyes and her trembling, juicy lips he loved to kiss so much. What the hell? Since when has he become such a pansy ass lover? He's a fucking Alpha Male, damn it! She's his Mate and belongs to only him but that doesn't mean he's also gonna be just hers. A tiger has many tigresses, she's no special!

Sabertooth snarled at Victor Creed.

Of course she's special, human! She's no fucking whore you fuck in some cheap motel, she's our one and only mate! FOREVER!

"NO!" Victor suddenly broke the kiss and shoved Rhonda away,making the lupine female almost tripped in her heels.

"What's wrong, Vic?" A startled Rhonda took a step a closer and tried to cup his cheek but his swatted her extending hand away.

"I said No!" he snarled again and shook his head vigorously. This was wrong, so very wrong. What would Kahli have thought if she'd seen all this? Shit!

He darted his eyes around, looking for his Mate but she was nowhere to be found, that narrowed his eyes. Her scent, it was also missing. His senses screamed in alarm, he knew she was on the top of the list of Transigen, what if they... No! He shook his head, they can't get her! He pulled out his phone and called her. Switched off? What the fuck? He ran his eyes around again. A strange fear crept into his eyes, where the hell are you, kitten?!

V-V-V-V-V-V-V

"KAHLI!" Kahli shuddered at Victor's roar from the door. She hastily wiped her tears and crossed her arms. Why would she go downstairs like an obe-di-ent little girl? Let him come up here.

"What the..." he stormed in and glared at the feral girl's back through narrowed eyes. "Do ya have any fuckin' idea how worried you got me tonight? You said you were going for washroom, right? Then why the hell were nowhere to be found?! And why was your goddamn phone switched off? Luckily i called home and Wilson picked it up. How the fuck did you even get back home alone, kitten?!" he could smell the sharp stink of her tears in the air, something was wrong but his anger neglected it.

Kahli closed her eyes and huffed out a sharp breath. She looked over her shoulder, her eyes red from crying for hours, anger oozing off her scent. "I just want to come back but you busy with Rhonda." that's all she had to say. As she tried to push past Victor, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her against him. Her casual answer increased his anger.

"What's with the attitude, frail?"

"Not call me that, Viktar!" She tried to wriggle out of his grip with a snarl. Her entire body started shaking with anger as she smelled that harlot all over him. "I not weak so I not frail!"

"I can call you anything I want, frail!" Victor snarled back and dug his claws into the soft skin. "Because you're my Mate!"

"No you can not." Kahli sucked in a shuddering breath and flashed her fangs in defence. "Because I not your mate yet!"

The grip loosened abruptly. Victor took a step back and shook his head in disbelief. He had never expected this kind of reply from his kitten. Kahli knew her words had affected him but she was still angry at him and didn't want to take her words back. She pulled her arms back, rubbing the reddened skin and stormed out of the living room, leaving a taken aback Creed behind.

V-V-V-V-V-V-V

How dare she?

The anger returned as he repeated her damned words in his mind. He couldn't believe the little bitch talked to him, Victor Sabertooth Creed like that? Even after giving her everything other frails just dreamed about and waiting so patiently for her cycle? What's gotten into her today? Whatever this is, it needs to be punished right now. For once he thought about just going in there and fuck her into submission, willing or not. But he couldn't. Her feral cycle was close and according to furball, she was so vulnerable until it ended. One forcible move and she'll be dead. No, he shook his head. He couldn't let it happen. He'd waited so long for this and couldn't screw everything up for a flared moment. No matter what happens, he won't fuck his kitten before the damned time but once she's in heat, even she won't be able to stop him.

V-V-V-V-V-V-V

Two days later

"You know what to do, Wilson." Victor said, buckling his watch strap. He'd tried to avoid the damned trip due to Kahli's condition. It could start any time and he needed to be with her all the time but his presence was necessary for his next project in India so he'd have to leave for the meeting of board of directors in New York earlier today. "Kahli should stay inside until I come back. And if anything strange happens to her, just call me immediately, got it?"

"Yes sir," Wilson said, helping Victor into his suit jacket. "You don't need to worry about Ms. Kahli at all, I'll make sure she stays inside."

"Good." Victor snorted and grabbed the handle of his suitcase. He hastily walked out of the house. The driver was ready, he opened the door and was about to hop in but...he slowly turned and looked up. Kahli, she was standing up there, watching him leave through the thin curtain. it'd been two damned days since they talked to each other after that fucking unreasonable argument and Creed would never admit it to himself, but he was missing his kitten's sweet voice. Her voice, her scent and her stupid but sweet English, he was missing everything about her. He knew something had hurt her deep and maybe he was the reason behind that something but he wasn't going to swallow his pride to patch up with her. If she's going to be his Mate, she'd have to learn to adjust with his way of living his life. If she can't...she can go back to life she came from after the cycle.

But the thought of seeing her go away from him forever left a strange ache behind every time.

He pushed the ache aside for a moment and put on his aviators with a growl. He finally turned back to his car.

"Airport."

V-V-V-V-V-V-V

Kahli's senses were set on fire as she recognized the unpleasantly familiar voice standing down there, at their door. It was that wolf bitch again. What the hell was she doing here?

"Oh there you are," Kahli glared over her shoulder at the harlot. How dare she come up here and enter her room without her per-missi-on? "Just came to meet Vic before goin' back but damn my luck, he left this morning." she shrugged her shoulders and walked in lazily.

"By the way next time when I come here, please tell your stupid butler not to inquire me like a goddamn FBI agent." she growled softly, running her eyes around with a short smirk on her face. "Shit man, Victor's really spendin' way too much on a cheap thrill." she sauntered over to Kahli's bed and flopped down lazily.

Kahli left the window with a soft growl and turned around to face the other woman. "What you do here, Rhonda?"

Rhonda cocked an eyebrow. "What you do? Ohhhh, you mean what are you doing here, right?" she let out a laugh. "That was really the funniest piece of English I've ever heard. Victor is really gonna have to work hard on his new pet."

"P-Pet?" Kahli's eyes widened. "You call me pet?"

"What else am I supposed to call you, sweetie?" Rhonda smirked again before getting back up. She walked over to Kahli.

"You're just a temporary attraction for the feral guy. Maybe because the last one of kind and he's never fucked a female feline before and if I'm not wrong," she took a deep sniff and smirked. "He hasn't pulled you under him yet because he's waiting for your damn cycle. These three facts are the only reasons Sabertooth's still keepin' ya alive."

In spite of the unimaginable rage boiling inside her, Kahli's brows drew close together. "Saber-tooth?"

"You never heard of him?" Rhonda smirked again. "You're really such a poor thing. But I can understand, you're living with the baddest man of the planet. He's definitely never gonna let ya know about his 'dark' side. But I ain't like him. I'm gonna tell you everything he doesn't want to let you know."

She took a step closer and bored her eyes into Kahli's. "For the start, your giant boyfriend aka Victor Sabertooth Creed is the biggest fuckin' killer the world has ever seen. He's ghosted more people than the days your little life has seen so far. His animal side, 'The Great Sabertooth', that monster only loves bloodshed and screams of his victims. What he can't have, he seizes. The same goes about women in his life. Women are piss-scared of him and he loves it! He says it hardens him down there, do you know how horrific that sounds? He loves to rape women, make them scream under him and once he is done with them, he just slashes their fuckin' throats and moves on!"

"You, you lie!" Kahli snarled in her Mate's defense. Her body shaking with rage again, anger rolling off her scent in waves.

"I'm lying?" Rhonda threw her head back and gave another loud laugh. "You seriously need a reality check, little girl. Wait, no, what else could I expect from you? How long have you been living with him, huh? Two months, or three months? You're nowhere near me when it comes to know your goddamn 'Mate'. I've seen everything he has to show. Every day, every night. And you? I'm sure you're not even allowed to go out without his permission. You just stay hidden here, in a small, dark corner of his house. You sleep when he tells you to and you wake up when he tells you to, am I right? Like I said earlier, you're nothing but a good little pet of his. Just find yourself a nice collar, it would definitely look good around your slender nec-" A hard smack interrupted her mid-sentence. The harlot hit the ground with a loud thud.

She rubbed the reddened skin with other hand before shooting back up and pouncing at the fuming feline. "You little bitc-" her little attack by halted by the claws of Goddess of the Jungle that just grabbed Rhonda's throat and tossed her out of the room like a damned paper plane. Rhonda hit the wall of the hallway with a loud groan.

"I not care if he Viktar or Sabertooth," Kahli's pitch dark eyes glared down at the other female. Claws extended to their full length. "But I not anyone's pet!"

"O-Oh yeah?" Rhonda dragged herself back to her feet and wiped the streak of blood off the corner of her mouth. "Then stop behaving like one!" finishing her damned line, the wolf-girl stomped down the stairs, leaving a infuriated Kahli behind. She spun around and looked at herself in the mirror.

Trembling, she shook her head. "I not anyone's pet, I NOT anyone's PET!" she picked up her phone from the stand and threw at the mirror. The beautiful glass was smashed in the blink of an eye. "I Vandevi, I Goddess of the Jungle! Nobody own me, not even Viktar!" whispering these words to herself like a Mantra, Kahli stormed out of her room.

V-V-V-V-V-V-V

"So Mr. Singh," Victor swiveled his chair around. "Found out the details I need?"

"Y-Yes sir," Singh's trembling tone replied. "My man tried to find out about the family in the local villages but none of them had knowledge about any feral delivery that happened Nineteen years ago but yes, some aged locals told him about a light rumor they'd heard about an unusual delivery years ago. According to the story, the newborn girl was a monster, born with teeth and claws. My servant went to the hospital where the girl was born and they confirmed such a cesarean. The parents fled with the baby as soon as it was born and nobody knows where the family went after that. And yes sir, you'll be surprised to know another valuable piece of information. The staff of the hospital told him that a couple of men in black had also been inquiring about the same girl for the past few weeks."

"What?" the information narrowed Creed's eyes. There was someone else other there, too who was trying to find out about the existence of his mate. It could not be ignored. He'd have to find the fucker as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll see about that later. By the way, date," Victor leaned forward eagerly. "Did he dig out the date?"

"Uh-yes, it was 11th of November, 2009, which is-"

"Today." Victor hung up, grinning widely. Today was his kitten's 20th birthday! He needed to wish her, to be with her right now before her cycle started. No matter how angry she is with him right now, an honest attempt to make her birthday special will certainly make thing right. He hastily called his assistant.

"John," he swiveled in his chair... "Get the jet ready, we're goin' back."

"But sir-"

"And yes, order a cake, a chocolate one." he smiled to himself. He knew how much his kitten loved a piece of that chocolaty shit.

"But sir, you have a meeting in ten minut-" Victor hung up again and shot up to leave but as he left the chair, his phone rang again. He glanced at the screen. It was Wilson.

"What is it, Wilson-"

"Mr. Creed," the agitated tone narrowed Creed's eyes. "Ms. Kahli, she..."

V-V-V-V-V-V-V

OK I know I went a little different here about the whole mate thing in this chapter because in all other Victor Creed fics we've all read, Victor just chooses one mate for good but as far as i think, if he truly accepts his animal side and follows his animalistic instincts, we shouldn't forget that except for lions, most of the male big cats are solitary animals and mate with many females throughout their life. That's why I showed him kissing Rhonda but on the other hand, Kahli believes Victor is only hers because she hasn't met any other feral male besides him and she doesn't want to share him with any other female. Hope that explains everything.

Soooo, whatcha guys think? What's gonna happen next? ;-}
