30

So from where we left off, I am taking us back to the others. Kalli and Zicko will be back home soon but nothing really developmental happens so I thought we would go back to the other couples. Kalli and Zicko will be the last ones to mate. Also, Maddie and Enway will be spending a while in their village. Eventually I will come back to the happy couple.

Jupei's POV

Kalli and Zicko had gotten back last night. The tensions were high and I was trying to stay out of his way. I had heard from Enway that Zicko had been retained by all eighty warriors in the village. Even with all of them ten were wounded and it took Enway two hours to calm him down. I can only hope that Kalli is more cautious next time. I know that mine and Mattea's time for the mating frenzy is fast approaching. I have told her that we will be going to my home town in a week. She has been really excited and says she has a surprise to show me when we get there.

"Jupei, where did you go?" asks Zicko.

"I'm in the kitchen."

"There are a few policy matters I need to talk to you about. Also, I heard you are leaving to take over your role as clan leader."

"Ya my folks said that I need to take over since our current leader is about to step down. Mattea and I will be there for two weeks at most. What are the policy matters?"

"When I went to help Enway with the Sylar problem I realized we need to step up our patrols on not just our lands but also on the border lands. They almost got Maddie and I'm still having troubles with what happened to Kalli. Next time it might be one of the mercinary clans that attempts to kill our mates."

Zicko has never been one to share his fears but when Kalli was kidnapped it changed him. Wether for the better we still have yet to find out. But sometimes we hear him screaming and most times he does not sleep. And it would be the same for any of us if it had happened to our mates. His eyes always have bags under them and sometimes will be red from strain and lack of sleep.

"I know. What do you suggest?"

"I planned on employing Sylar and trying to make a peace offering with their clan. We need all the help we can get to fight off the dark clans. Also, I will be running training missions in the mornings to get us back into fighting mode. It starts tomorrow at 8am to 10:30. We need to work on a lot of things since we are the next leaders."

I hear the girls running around upstairs. Me and Zicko share a look and decide to go upstairs and see what is goining on. When we reach the top floor I see Morgan, Kalli, Mattea, and Lina all standing outside with our underpants in their hands. I look to see Finax and Amkay coming from the gym. Zicko and I step forward and my eyes land on the boxers that are highlighter pink and have Finax's name stiched on the back.

"What the hell?" Amkay says.

"We decided that you guys needed some style and we took it upon ourselves to style your underwear. Mattea's is the best though." Lina says.

I look at my dark blue boxers and see my name in pink stitching. She also glued flower stickers to them. On the front side there were hearts all over. I wanted to destroy them.

Mattea's POV

It had been a long week and Kalli wanted to take her mind off the pain she is still suffering from since they could not complete the mating frenzy. I suggested we have some fun with our mates and take their plain underwear and spruce it up. I went into Jupei's room while the others went to the other guys' room. When we met back up in Kalli's room Lina brought the crafts bin with her.

"I had no idea that Finax had pink underwear this bright. I mean, how could he have something so eye burningly bright." Lina states.

She shows us the offending underwear. We all bust up laughing when she puts black bows all over it. We all decide to stitch their name on the back.

"All right lets go show them." Lina says.

We all run out to the balcony on the top floor. We are laughing like mad and we don't wait long before the guys come out to see our fantastic fashion designs. We hold the up proudly. The guys' faces were in varying degrees of horror and outrage. That was what I wanted to happen. They need to take their minds off the bad for a little bit and focus on the fun they can have with us. Jupei has ignored me for three days saying that he has paper work to sort through. I felt neglected but knew that he would not always have free time. However, my irrational heart greedily yearns for all of his attention and nothing I do will change this feeling. I want him to see what he has been missing for the past three days.

"Mattea's is the best. With a classy pink design and flowers and heart sequins. The next best is Morgan with glitter everywhere. And I mean everywhere." Lina says.

We are all hysterically laughing and notice too late that the guys have closed in on us. We look at each other and almost simultaneously rush them. Only me and Kalli make it past the rest were sacrificed to the greater good. Kalli breaks off separately and I run for the quickest shelter. I have a five second lead that is quickly closing. I find a hallway and run to it.

"I'll find you no matter where you try to hide." Jupei says

His comment sends my heart lurching. The only place I can go is toward the exercise room. Once I get in I head towards the door leading into the showers. I know from there that the door to the swimming pool is an immediate left. As I throw open the door hands come around my waist. I scream and try to fight his tight grip. He puts his lips against my ear.

"I win."

His husky voice spikes lust through my blood stream and my breaths come faster. I have no chance of escaping nor do I want to. Once I stop fighting him he sets me down and rapidly turns me around. I have two seconds before his lush lips bruise mine in a punishing kiss. My fingers tangle in his hair and crush him to me further. His hands snake down to my waist and lift me. I try pulling back but he becomes more aggressive.

"Mmmgh!" I gasp.

I push at his shoulders but to no avail. I bite his tongue but that seems to have stirred the passion higher. Finally the group comes in to see me struggling. The three guys try to separate Jupei. He lets go and starts fighting with them. Zicko manages to wrestle Jupei to the floor. He orders Finex to kneel on his chest. Once they have him restrained Jupei starts snarling and growling.

"What's wrong with him?" asks Morgan.

Amkay takes a punch to the groin when he tries to respond. He keels over and I immediately take his place. I run my hands over his face. If I can wake him from this frenzy then there is a chance to save the others from another attack.

"Mattea get away from him. He has no control now that his dragon is in the mating frenzy." Finex says.

He motions Lina to take me away but the distress of having me taken away sends Jupei into a shift. It takes longer but Zicko is quick enough to get him to the landing pad outside. Once Jupei has shifted he tries to get into the tree house. Zicko and Finex shift much faster and block his entry. Amkay pushes me out there and tells me to do whatever I can in order to calm Jupei down. I do the one thing proven to get his attention. I walk to the edge of the platform and jump off. I scream the whole way down.

The End For Now.

What do you think so far? Who do you think will be mated next? Will Jupei save Mattea?
