Shilla heard the sound of day from the whistling of birds and the buzzing of terrestrial life in the background.
Her heart leapt, injecting andrinalin into her blood stream. The sound of birds means the sun has begun its ascension, and she will be late going to serve the Alpha.
She robbed her eyes, something wasn't right. She yawned as she tries to sit up but to no avail.
She panicked as she felt the warmth of another presence behind her, restraining her around the waist, the weight of one trim muscular holding her in place.
As though waking up from a dream, a balloon of memories last night blasted in her mind, and understanding came to uer, keeping her wide awake in the dark room.
She was in the Alpha's den, and his warmth and hardness behind her back filled her palpating heart with an awkward confusion.
She tried lefting his hand off her, but it was very hard to do. It was firmly planted there like the mallet of Thor.
Something hard and stiff breath wildly like a raging dragon behind the plump of her back where he made contact with her at the waist as though to drill a hole on her butt.
He was snoring softly, peacefully at sleep. He was not struggling, crying or shouting in his sleep like she comes to meet him almost everyday.
She really has to get up from bed without startling him, which is proofing impossible. He was starting to move sleeplessly, and the organs in her chest danced a new dance.
"Don't leave," The Alpha murmured restlessly.
"I've to prepare and come and attend to you, my lord."
"But you're already attending to me Shilla, like never before."
"What?" Shilla asked in confusion, the throbbing creature massaging her buttocks on contact. Brave as she was about so many things when it comes to survival, and feeding the Alpha, Shilla never being with a man find her body betrayed her in ways she couldn't fathom. Her organ felt wet and warm, pulsing with the snake-like creature behind her.
some of her sisters had gossiped about the sweet strange things the thing can do, is this one of those things.
The woman was shaking in his arms causing him to wake up fully. On finding his hard erection pressed hard between her butt, he knew instantly the reason why the woman is struggling to break free from him.
He didn't know he disgust her so much, she didn't want him this way, she only want to feed him. He broke his contact with her, inwardly chastising himself for trying something like this.
He respected Shilla, and taking her wouldn't made him respect her any less but he simply couldn't brought himself to the notion that he nearly plunged into her even now in his sleep.
He lay back on the bed, pretending to sleep.
*****†****†******
Outside, nebulous and Kogna has their guns drawn as they scurried to the shack of the alpha.
Nebulous is taking back control… he will kill the hybrid if he did anything to Shilla. For some reason they have all come to like and admire the maiden.
Nebulous prayed that Kuga wouldn't try anything fishy with the woman. Grandson or not, he will squeeze the juice on the bully, sending him back to the hell he did come from.
"Are you sure about this, Kogna?"
"As sure as the feel of my boxer pants on my damn sensitive skin. Mad king got the fish woman locked up in his shack. Beast probably killed the gal by now…"
"Don't assumed the worst Kogna. He had never done anything like this before…"
"Damn reason why, I am ready to make sure he never did. Take the door let me take the window old man."
"No Kogna, stay with me. I don't want you doing anything in a haste. With your premonitions, you will shoot the man on sight even if he poses no threat."
The two gun men charged at the door with their feet raised to stamp on the door. They wanted to take the beast by surprise. They both knew how reflective he was in battle.
Shilla had managed to stand up after the man freed himself from her like a discarded thing.
She heard about the story about him and his mate, the Makilla who marked him.
She knew no one can fill that void, but she wanted to be there for this forlorn soul, on the verge of losing his life in the hands of his own men.
They feared him that much. Who wouldn't. After his killing spree on the battle field, who wouldn't.
She edge for the door, and turn the knob, and opening the door. The feet of the two men nearly knock her to the ground has she not been quick enough to plaster herself on the surface of the open door.
Terror filled the two gun men as the unexpected happened at the last minute when thier feet reached the door, but found emptiness instead of a door.
They came tumbling on each other on the floor as Shilla stared in amazement. The two men recovered quickly as Shilla gave them a quizzical look.
They stood up, surprise at what they saw. "damn oldman, what we two failed to do, the fish woman had done in only one night. She killed him…"
Alpha head this and nearly reacted. But he didn't move or opened his eyes.
Shilla looked at Kogna with an O on her lips. She drew Kogna out of the shack as nebulous study the peaceful sleeping man.
A smile crept to his face. how come he didn't figure it out early. Woman has always been the secret to a mans misery and mystery, Kogna was right.
Fish woman had killed the beast but not the way the did expected.
"What are you two up to….?" Shilla asked angrily as Nebulous join her and Kogna outside in the clearing.
"We thought the man had you."
Shilla burst out laughing as the truth begun to materialized in her mind.
Nebulous not wanting to embrassed himself any futher, started walkifng away, and Kogna followed shamefully, both wearing sheepish smiles on their faces.
Its been long since any of them laughed or smiled. it's well, and they are glad to be proven wrong.
"Do you hear that…?" Kogna nodded to Nebulous question.
"The ship is hitting shore," Nebulous added.
"The man really want to set up a place here?" Kogna reacted.
"Siana is the name…" Nebulous replied.
"He want to create a new city, in the middle of nowhere."
"Not just a new city, Kogna. A resort… a place to call a permanent home while he hunts down his foe."
"We are chasing a ghost. Nka is shady…"
"But he is close, he has his islands closer to this one. He had been here, but didn't put any settlement."
"I hope them tracks come very soon, man can be covering the bloody distance in this wild place," Kogna offered seriously.
"Not until you have roads to drive them…"
They turned to see where the answer had come from.
They didn't notice him sneaking up on them. he walked past them, fully dressed in combat jacket and slacks like some miltery general, leading the way downhill and they followed him.
They are here. He feel their presence and he is going to meet with them at the haram where he had his makeshift palace, and bevy of panther maidens.
