The darkness eloped Crystal City. The crescent moon shone brightly with the little star in his empty circle. Sienna was in her room. She took a long warm bath and just came out wrapped in a white cotton towel when a huge white tiger came inside!
"Tyrell?" she turned to him. "Aww, you are so cute", she looked at the tiger and pet its head gently. But then she backed off! The tiger did not look friendly at all! His eyes were fixed on her firmly. Sienna felt like his prey! She glanced at the door worriedly, she had to pass right thru him to get out of the room. The tiger was closing her in!
"Tyrell, Tyrell!" Sienna called in a panic. The tiger went closer as if hunting prey moving his back sleekly, his eyes did not leave Sienna's face!
"Tyrell, stop! You are scaring me!"Sienna backed up to the bed and curled herself into a ball protecting her head. The huge white tiger jumped on the bed and nudged her with his wet pink nose a bit roughly.
"Tyrell, what are you doing?"Sienna peeked out at him.
"Lay down." The tiger rasped."I came to play with you tonight."
"How?"She asked a bit worriedly.
"You see. I want you to get used to me in this form too." he rasped.
Sienna rather lay down. She was a bit scared of that tiger, he looked upset!
The tiger stood over Sienna. He pulled the towel off her and licked her naked body.
"Auuuu, it hurts," she moaned." Your tongue is like sandpaper." she cringed her face.
"Shhh, the mating will hurt too," the tiger lay on top of her partly. Sienna felt the soft warm fur. He was very hot, so it kind of felt good, but he was making a growling sound which made Sienna shiver deep in her bones. He was like in a trance!
" Turn around!" he rasped.
"No, I'm not mating with your tiger."She said carefully."We have a deal ."
"I'm your king and you do what I say. I need an heir and Tyrell is too soft on you."the white tiger rasped.
"Are you not Tyrell?"Sienna asked worriedly.
"Yes, I'm Tyrell's tiger, tonight is my night. He can't change till twilight. So enjoy that we got him out of the way." the tiger growled.
"No, you are a tiger, you will hurt me," Sienna shook her head.
"Try to relax, the tenser you are, the more it will hurt."The tiger turned her with his huge soft paws and heavy head on her belly.
"He kept his claws hidden at least!"Sienna sighed in her mind. She felt really vulnerable next to him! He was huge! She was kind of scared and a bit confused, till she felt his teeth on the back of her neck suddenly! Then she freaked out in panic! He bit into her soft skin, what he perceived as gently, but Sienna felt as if he is going to bite her neck off!
"Aaa," she shrieked."Tyrell, wake up! Ziran, help me! Bran help!" she cried out loudly with her eyes pressed tightly together in pain, but she could not move!
"How dare you! Call names of other males when you are about to mate with me!" the tiger rasped and bit her a little bit stronger. He was holding her neck in his jaws, so she does not move when he will start mating her!
Sienna felt the blood going down her neck and teared up. She just screamed in fear and pain.
"Please Tyrell, wake up and let me go. Just mate me in your human form." she sobbed and begged.
"Nobody mates in human form tonight!"The tiger chuckled."I'm not letting him change over till I mate you and make you pregnant. It took me a lot of work to conceal the memory of the Tiger's Eye Star from him. We will have a whole night together. Feel free to scream, I heard it hurts a lot." he chuckled.
"What?" Sienna cried out. She tried to touch her bleeding neck slowly, but she felt his warm and wet jaw instead."You made me bleed Tyrell, you can't mate me like this or I will bleed out and die." she sobbed.
The tiger let go of her neck and licked it."It is just a scratch, you will be fine." He chuckled and clasped it again in his jaw piercing her soft skin in different spots!
Sienna screamed and tried to think quickly. The pain was travelling thru her body and a new batch of adrenaline was coming up in her veins.
The tiger put all his heavy body over her. The bed was cracking under his weight.
"Please Tyrell, don't do this to me, you will break my heart."Sienna sobbed.
"Shh, just go with it. You are my mate too, so mate me!"The tiger rasped.
Sienna tried to lift her body but it was stuck under him. She felt every time she tried to move the pressure on her neck increased. She could hear her heart thumping in her head.
Bran flew with Ziran up to the window. They could hear Sienna screaming in fear and pain.
"He is about to mate, "Bran called.
"Hurry up, till he is joined with her. It will be almost impossible to get him out of her once he starts."Ziran said worriedly.
Ziran barged inside the room thru the window. He saw the huge white tiger pinning Sienna down holding her neck in his jaws. She screamed with her eyes closed. The blood trickled down from Sienna's neck and Ziran felt the rage raised in his heart.
" Tyrell, stop! You can't do this to her like this, she is not a tiger. "Ziran called.
Sienna heard Ziran's voice and opened her eyes abruptly."Help me!" she cried out.
"Get out, I need an heir." The tiger let off Sienna's neck for a moment.
Ziran changed into a huge brown tiger and attacked him. He smashed his huge brown paw over Tyrell's face with his claws out. Tyrell dodged and jumped off the bed to fight him off. Bran sneaked in thru the window as well. He pulled bloodied naked Sienna off the bed together with the bed throw. He rolled her in it as he snatched he thru the window and flew with her to the cold air. Sienna was held by his strong talons. It happened so fast and she was still sobbing. Sienna felt the cold air hit her face. The darkness seemed to run in front of her teary eyes.
"Sienna, are you ok?" 'she heard Bran's voice calling to her gently.
"Yes, thank you. Bran, what is happening? Why is Tyrell so weird?"Sienna asked still in a bit of shock.
" It is the Tiger's Eye Star, every tiger with a mate mates tonight. They can't change back till morning."Bran tried to explain to her.
Bran flew with Sienna thru the city. He wanted her to understand that it was not entirely Tyrell's fault. Sienna was shocked. It was crazy down there! She could hear mating growls in every house. Most females took on their animal form to survive it better, but the city was full of growling and screams. Sienna got no animal form. She was still shaking. She felt her neck was still bleeding because the blood was tickling her as it flew in drops. She wiggled one hand out and held her bleeding neck.
"You can't go back tonight."Bran said."We will hide in the mountains. We have to be careful because he will come to hunt you down!"
"As you say. I'm just glad to be out."Sienna sighed. She felt like a huge caterpillar in that blanket. Bran's talons held her tight by her waist and she was hanging as a bag of potatoes floating in the air.
Tyrell and Ziran still fought in Sienna's room smashing the furniture with their heavy bodies. Tyrell was having no restraints at all and was going after Ziran for a kill. Luckily Ziran levelled up a lot with Sarcos before, so he could stand fighting Tyrell quite well. He tried to keep Tyrell occupied long as he could to give Bran time to take Sienna far as possible. Ziran knew Tyrell will go hunting her for sure! Tyrell smashed Ziran out of the door angrily. He was kind of trying to push him out of the room and keep him away from the bed with Sienna. He did not notice Bran at all because he was fighting Ziran off too blindly!
Tyrell turned to the bed and saw Sienna is gone. He sniffed around the bed in surprise, but Sienna was really not there!"Bran!" Tyrell growled. The eagle's scent still lingered around the window!
"I will kill you both for this," Tyrell turned to catch Ziran, but the burly brown tiger was gone! Ziran ran to the mountains in a hurry. He swam thru the freezing cold river to wash out the blood from his fur and cover his tracks. He was looking for Bran because he needed to help him keep Sienna safe till Twilight will come and Tyrell regain his senses!
Tyrell ran out of his castle in a killing frenzy. His tiger was enraged to the max. He followed Ziran's scent and saw he is going away from the mountains.
"Where he wants to hide my queen in there?"Tyrell followed the tracks suspiciously till he came to the wide river. He chuckled darkly and swam up the strong current.
"Tricky, tricky trickery, Lord Ziran."Tyrell chanted growling to himself in a heat of the hunt. The cool wind and freezing cold water helped him to think better." I'm your king, you can't fool me." he chuckled." The queen is mine and you both are dead meat tonight."He thought revengefully."I'm mating her tonight!"
High in the dark sky Bran flew over the mountains, searching for a good cave. He needed to find something not possible for a tiger to climb up, which was a little tricky. He felt Sienna's body going a bit stiff in his talons and he needed to warm her up. He flew to a steep mountain peak and landed with cold Sienna in front of the dark cave.
