A sweeeeet thanks to angel897, Lyryenn and Natasha for their awesome reviews. Hope you guys like this one too :-}

Kahli sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. This Siegfried & Roy's place, it was quieter than the last time she and Viktar were here. she looked at the pregnant Bangal tigress resting in her cage again. It was the same female that was in heat that day and then... She smiled sadly at that memory.

She had no idea why she came here. Maybe because Viktar said he came here whenever he felt trapped in this human world. She was also feeling trapped today, trapped in a world she'd seen through Viktar's eyes. She rubbed her shoulders against the bitter chill and ran her senses around. She could smell, hear and feel every emotion rolling off all the creatures around her. Hunger, fear, anger and heat. She could feel all of them, understand all of them, but never tried to reveal her 'talent' to them. Maybe because...like this world and its people, these animals were also strangers to her.

As she spun around to leave-

"Hey where's your boyfriend? He didn't come with you today?"

Kahli smirked to herself. She knew who it was. She looked left and right to make sure nobody was watching her. She looked over her shoulder and replied softly. "No, he's gone out of town for a business trip."

"Whoa! You can speak our language?" the tigress exclaimed in great shock. "Is it a part of your mutation?"

"Yes i can, but it's not a part of my mutancy. I was brought up by a female snow leopard in a jungle of India, that's where I learned your language." Kahli smirked again. "By the way, how do you know I'm a mutant?"

"Those fangs and claws and your wild 'cat like scent', humans don't have'em. Besides, whenever your boyfriend comes here, the guards call him 'a goddamn mutant'." the tigress gave a smartass reply.

"Oh." Kahli gave an understanding nod. "By the way I'm Kahli."

"Rose." The tigress told the feral girl her name smilingly. "And what's the name of your boyfriend? He often comes here and does nothing but stare at my ass."

Kahli let out a light laugh. "Well his name is Viktar and he's not my boyfriend," the laugh disappeared when the feral woman paused momentarily. "He is my...Mate."

"Mate?" Rose stalked over to her. "Mutants have Mates, too?"

"No, feral mutants like me and Victor do." Kahli tried to explain. "It's due to the heat cycle of feral girls. We get pretty weak in those Three particular days and only a feral male of our kind can save us by mating with us."

Rose lifted her snout in the air and took a deep inhale. "Your heat circle, or whatever you call it, it is close."

Kahli's eyes widened. "What-"

"Yes, I can smell it." Rose cut her off. "You're about to go into heat, girl, you should get back to your Mate as soon as possible."

"B-But..." Kahli shook her head, confused. "I don't want to go back to him."

"Why not?"

"Because..." she tried to find the right words to describe the storm of emotions thrashing inside her. "Because he wants me to be only his, like a damn pet but doesn't want to be mine only."

"Now what's that mean?"

"It means...he wants to mark me and make me show his in front of the whole world but doesn't want to commit to me and I'm sure he will go back to his other bitches after my cycle is over because this heat cycle, it's just a duty to him, for saving our kind from extinction."

"But isn't that how all the males of the Jungle are?" Rose asked, confused. Her reply got Kahli's eyebrows narrowed. "You said you were brought up in a jungle so I'm sure you can understand it. They come, mate with you and just leave. Besides, you needed him just for your cycle, right?"

"No! It's not just for my cycle!" Kahli snapped. "He's my Mate and I want him to be with me forever. I hate to see him go to any other female. He's only MINE! FOREVER!"

"Whoa-ho-ho! So that's how it is, huh?" Rose smiled mischievously. "Sorry to say little girl, but you're in love with that scary dude."

Kahli paused abruptly. "L-Love?"

"You don't know what love is?"

"A-Actually, I don't." Kahli answered honestly. "Victor barely uses the word so I thought it wasn't an important one and I never Googled it."

"Well, let me tell you then. Love is a beautiful feeling, girl. Animals also feel it towards one another but humans value it more than us. You see, when you like a guy so much that you get affected by his way of living his life, you're in love. For example, if you laugh when he does, you get sad when he does and seeing him in pain makes you want to set the whole world on fire. And the cherry on the top, you just can't see him with ANY other chick. This concern, this jealousy and this possessiveness, just ask your heart and then tell me honestly, do you feel all of these things for your Mate?"

Kahli let out a deep breath and mused over tigress's words for a long minute. She repeated her words in her mind and asked herself if she felt all these feelings towards Viktar? And her heart had just one answer...

She finally broke the silence and looked back to the expectant tigress. She smiled softly. "Okay...maybe I do."

Rose grinned widely. "Then what the hell are you doing here, girl? Go home, call your Mate back and tell him you love him!"

"B-But..." Kahli bit her lip, unsure. "What if he made fun of my feelings and said he didn't feel the same for me? Because as far as I've heard about him, he doesn't value anything like love in his life." She said bitterly, remembering the words of that wolf-bitch.

Rose sighed and took a couple of step closer. She bored her bright amber pools into Kahli's deep brown ones." If he values your presence in his life, he will never do something like that. You see my mate resting over there, he's the youngest one here. For my first time, I could choose any other experienced and strong male but I chose him. You know why? Because I see concern and care in his eyes for me. If that giant knucklehead cares about you and your feelings, he will never make fun of them. Believe me, I'm saying that from the experience I've gotten from the 24×7 romantic human couple who brought me up."

"So you really think..i should go back and tell him how I feel for him?" Kahli ran a hand through her hair with an uncertain look on her face.

"Of course you should." Rose grinned again. "What are you waiting for now, Christmas? Go now, shoo!"

"Okay!" Kahli grinned back and spun to go back home but as she stepped towards the gate, an invisible entity grabbed her upper arm out of nowhere.

"Goin' somewhere, sweetheart?" Holy Cow! the smirking male voice turned into a visible body who had been keeping watch at the feral girl for the past three months, X-36.

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

Kahli's sensitive nose inhaled the scent of the stranger. Her already overwhelmed senses rang in alarm. She'd caught the same scent around Victor's mansion a few weeks ago.

The other mutant tightened his grip around Kahli's arm. "C'mon baby, time to go-" as he tried to drag the feral girl with her, Kahli shoved him away into the wall behind him before lunging at him. All the animals started howling loudly in their cages. Seeing the feral girl kick their boss's ass, a couple of twin goons pounced at Kahli from behind. They yanked the feral girl off their boss's chest.

"W-What the hell is going on here?!" hearing the loud noise of animals, the guards of the garden reached the spot, panting. Their baffled eyes caught Kahli's struggle and pointed their guns at the evil trio. "Let the girl go!"

"Just stay out of it, humans!" The twins snarled at the guards and created an unbreakable wall of glass around them and the girl. The guards fired at the wall for a long minute but no use. With a wicked smirk, the mutant twins nodded at each other and suddenly shattered the wall, killing all the guards with the flying pieces of the broken glass.

"NO!" Kahli screamed in rage and struggled to wriggle out of the grasps of both brothers but they tightened their grips on her shoulders.

"No serious damage boys," X-36 snarled at his men. "Dr. Coleman wants her in one piece."

But capturing Goddess of the Jungle wasn't as easy as it seemed. With a vicious roar, Kahli grasped the hair of one of the butt boys and fly kicked him into the cage of Rose. The tigress gave an understanding roar and slashed his back with her claws.

Now Kahli took her arms behind her head and grabbed the head of the other goon before banging him down on the ground and slashing his throat.

After taking care of the minions, Kahli now stormed towards the mutant who was about to get invisible again. Before his body could dissolve in the air completely, Kahli grabbed his left hand and yanked him around. Trembling like a dry leaf, he pulled out his gun and tried to shoot at Kahli but before he could pull the trigger, Kahli seized the gun from him and grabbed his throat. She slammed the terrified man into the wall behind him and lifted him up high in the air.

"Who send you?!" she snarled at trembling man. Her lengthened claws dug into the reddened skin.

X-36 coughed up a gob of blood. "D-Doctor Coleman!"

"Who he?!" she snarled again.

His shaking fingers grasped Kahli's wrist, desperately trying to make her let go of his throat. "H-He works for...T-Transigen.."

Kahli's eyes widened as she heard the damned name. It was the same lab Viktar told her about. The same mutant hating orga-niza-tion that hunts down the survivors of Legacy Virus attack and runs its knives on them. Fear crept into her eyes. She'll have to go back, she'll have to go back home before...

She slammed the other mutant down to the floor and gave a bone crushing kick to the chest before turning around for the door but as she hurried towards the gate, a sudden blaze of agony erupted in her stomach. She caught her tummy with a sharp groan. Her entire body began to tremble like a dry straw as her body temperature reached a dangerous level. The pain was so overwhelming it brought the feral girl to her knees. She recognized this unexpected turn of events and the realization brought tears to her eyes.

She was in her heat cycle.

With great struggle, the other mutant dragged himself back to his feet and glared down at the groaning female. As he took a step closer, the maddening scent of her heat started overwhelming his senses and not just him, all the male animals around them both became restless as they sniffed in the intoxicating scent. He'd never felt such an instant attraction towards any woman before. He could instantly feel himself harden down there but no, not yet. The lab needs her unharmed until they're done with her and then... He grinned at that thought.

Kahli glared up at him with another trembling scream. A delicious amount of rage mixed with pain in her reddened eyes. A solid kick to the side of her neck and Kahli collapsed to the floor. He wiped the streak of blood off the corner of his mouth before calling his boss.

"We got her."

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

"Goin' somewhere, bitch?" Victor's snarl from the slammed open door caused Rhonda's to stand petrified with a shocked gasp. The packing was forgotten. Trembling, she slowly turned her head to the giant feral.

"V-Victor..."

In the blink of an eye, Victor's claws grabbed harlot's throat and lifted her from her feet and held her dangling in the air. Rhonda struggled against the grip. "L-Let go of me, Victor, I-I didn't do anything!"

"Stop lying, whore!" his darkening eyes glared up at her. "What did ya think? Yer gonna brainwash my mate against me and I'm gonna let ya sneak out of the town alive? Just once and for all, where is my MATE?!"

She let out a choked gasp. ""I-I don't know what you're t-talking about, Vic-"

"Yes you do!" he snarled again. The deathly grip of the clawed hand drew a couple of streaks of blood. "You're the one who crammed all that brainwashing shit into her brain and now she's gone!" suddenly his gaze fell on a small pile of brown envelopes with Transigen written on.

He sliced open one of them. "So Singh was right, those mutant hating fuckers are also involved in all of this." he glared up at her again. "Now you're gonna open that shitty mouth of years and tell me where they took my Mate or..."

With a predatory change of eyes, Sabertooth's claws painfully dug into her bobbing throat, preparing to rip it out. A delicious amount of horror spiced her scent. "The throat is just gonna be a start, bitch. I'm sure your pathetic class Three healing will finally give up when I rip all your fuckin' internal organs out within seconds and-"

"No!" Rhonda screamed in horror. "N-No! Please! I-I just did it for money, okay? They needed a kitty cat for breeding a-and only you had one. T-They knew Creed would lay his guns down only for someone he knew very well. They paid me good and ordered me to make the girl come out of her hole unguarded before her cycle starts. Even that business trip of yours, it was also their trap. T-They sent you away and-"

"And you turned our Mate against us!" the grip tightened even more, making the wolf girl let out a chocked yelp.

"P-Please! L-Let me go...i told you everything now!"

"No, ya don't!" Sabertooth snarled again. "Where is our mate now?"

"T-They said something about an underground laboratory in Baffalo. They could never get your DNA but they said they've found a 'look-alike' one." she let out another sob. Streaks of ruined mascara running down her cheeks. "P-Please, let me go now..."

Sabertooth let out a predatory smirk. "Did I make any promise?"

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