Waiting

Description

    Cricket songs came from the big open windows slightly muffled by the thin night rain falling on the leaves outside. The air was soggy making the skin feel sticky between the two mates lying close to each other among the damp sheets with their youngest cub protectively between them.

    Little Rana was not more than a few days when her sister had been taken away. Farhes had sent Telcine to Ira many days ago now and they were just waiting for Nerau to give their precious Ashima back, but there had still not been a sign of their seven months old daughter, she needed her parents.

    In a way, Farhes knew that Nerau wouldn’t hurt their cub, because the consequences would be fatal, but that was not enough proof to say he wouldn’t. Nerau was too much like him, unpredictable and mean to everyone except those he cared about and the biggest mistake Farhes had done was not that to kill his slaves child, but to trust that son of a bitch that Nerau was. Though, the earlier was too a mistake, something he had got to know about a bit too late.

    Farhes had told Telcine that he did not want this Aeshma on his territory; still that little fool had been lingering around anyway. Of course it made Farhes believe that Telcine had become pregnant under his ownership and because he didn’t want to raise hers and Aeshma’s bastards he punished her for disobeying his wishes by killing the offspring before it was born. She had not even been aware of her pregnancy before he told her in the moment he ripped the fetus out of her womb. Then Telcine had leaked the whole story to Klahtos who spread it to Nerau who decided to vengeance for Aeshma, his so called brother. Farhes could never have dreamed of Nerau taking his little daughter as hostage, but the mistake was already made, he had trusted him, a bit too much.

    It was not until after that Farhes had got to know that Telcine had been mated already before she was bought by him giving him no right to abort her child, but she was his slave and thus she did not have the right to put his daughter in danger either. He had made a half-heartedly attempt to apologize to her before she left, though, he didn’t know if she had accepted it, she was difficult to read.

    The sky lit up outside when the lightning split the sky and short after the high roar rumbled from the thunder that followed. Farhes was used to the tropical storms and didn’t react more than twitching his ears a bit, but the cub between him and his female was startled and began to cry, the poor little thing had never encountered thunder before.

    “Shhh…” Farhes hushed a little and placed a hand around the little one. “There is nothing to fear, you’re safe. The thunder won’t harm you.” He whispered and nuzzled Rana’s black curls before he felt a pair of eyes on him.

    He looked up and met Beau’s orange gaze. She looked a bit worried but her face soon relaxed in a more calm expression when she saw both her cub and mate were unharmed, it had just been the thunder. A sorrowful look followed with a trembling lower lip.

    “I want my baby back.” She sniffed and grabbed Farhes forearm with a desperate glimpse in her eyes.

    “We both do. We will have her back soon.” Farhes replied calmly.

    “What if not?”

    “If not, I’ll make sure we do.”
    “You better!” Beau sobbed and buried her face in one of the pillows. “My poor baby.”

    Farhes sighed hopelessly while comforting their Rana who was now merely whining, just about falling back to sleep.

    “She’ll be alright.” He tried in a soft manner. “Nerau will not have the courage to hurt her.”

    “I want her NOW!” Beau sniffled childishly. “I don’t want to wait.”

    “I know!” Farhes snapped, but then lowered his voice again giving his mate an apologizing look. “… I know. I want her back as much as you do, but I won’t risk her life on being inpatient.”

    Beau met her mate with a stubborn look but the shivering lower lip told that she somewhat agreed with him. She just sighed and buried her face into the pillows again.

    “But I want her back now!” She repeated heartbrokenly, but her voice was drowned by a new wave of thunder.

    Rana woke up again and made some whiny infant-like noises, enough to make her mother to look up from the pillow, reaching for her.
    “Come here, mommy and daddy is here to protect you.”

    The words kept hanging in the air as the parents’ met each other’s eyes thinking the same thing. Their Ashima was still out there and probably wondering why her mum and dad weren’t there to make all the bad disappear.
