Hay everyone I am so sorry for the wait but I have to finish some summer projects before school starts for the year. BUT I will still try to update. Also I would like to thank all of you for your reviews and keep them coming. Since I am a little low on ideas, You may suggest ideas for later chapters and I may use them for the story. But any way I give you chapter 7.
Ch: 7 Gia's secret
Later that afternoon, Alex and the cubs were going to sleep, but there was one jaguar Gia and her family had not told them about that lived in the enclosure. As they slept, Gia talked to her mother. "Gia you know it wasn't just myself, your father, and your brother who missed you. Your old boyfriend Benjamin did the most." Said Gia's mom. "Poor Benjamin, I remember when you were five months old and the zookeepers let that young orphan jaguar cub into our exhibit and you fell in love with him and you soon started to date. He was so depressed when you were taken by the circus. Gia remembered Ben and the asked. "Where is Ben?" "The vets are giving him a check up but when he finds out of your return he will be so overjoyed." After a few minutes Gia when to where Alex and the cubs were and fell asleep.
About midnight, Gia heard a male voice begin to wake her up. "Gia wake-up." Said the voice. Slowly Gia opened her eyes to see a male jaguar, which was just about Alex's height and was a little more muscular. Gia bolt up and said. "Ben." Ben smiled and said. "Follow me." Gia did as he asked and let her to another tree at the other tree. When they had climbed to the top, Ben spoke. "Gia you still look as beautiful as you did the night the circus took you away." "You haven't changed much at all ether." Replied Gia. They then just sat in the tree for a few seconds, until Ben spoke up. "Gia remember the night the zoo sold you to the circus?" asked Ben. Gia looked at him and said. "Yes, why do you ask?" Ben looked nerves as he said. "That night I w-was going to ask you…. To be my mate." For the second time that day Gia didn't know what to say. "Gia, every night I thought of you and every night my love for you grew." Said Ben. "Ben, I did miss you too for a long time and I didn't know if I would ever feel happiness again, but now I have a lion mate and four cubs." Said Gia thinking of Alex. "I know, your mother told me when the vets let me back into the enclosure. That doesn't change how I feel about you." Said Ben. Before Gia could say any thing Ben pulled her into a passionate kiss. Fore some reason Gia (even she didn't know) she didn't pull away, but she didn't kiss him back. They were both unaware that Alex had woken-up and had seen and heard everything 'Gia almost became mates with another animal.' Thought Alex, as he saw the jaguars kiss. Both the kiss and the knowledge of Gia's secret broke his heart. He then quietly left to go back to bed with tears in his eyes, he didn't want hear any more. Right after Alex left Ben pulled away from the kiss. The next thing he knew Gia had raked her claws across Ben's cheek with anger in her eyes. "Ben I may have loved you in the past, but now I have a mate and you need to accept that. Because if you try to make me kiss you again I will make you sorry." She then climbed down the tree, walked over to the now asleep Alex. And with out noticing his tears went to sleep. But back on the tree Ben sat on the branch thinking. 'Gia forgot she loves me and chose a lion for her mate. That lion took Gia from me and I will make him pay for that.' Thought Ben, with anger boiling inside him.
