Bonus Chapter: Gift To Jemin

(Sheea's POV)

______________

I don't know what they would be feeling since I already promised to give a gift to Jemin.

Now that I promised, I've to keep it.

But the thing is that if I give a gift to Jemin alone then others would feel bad. And then again, if I give gifts to Jemin as well as others, he would feel bad.

God! I so d*mn need to control myself from speaking too much!

This habit of mine is just.... ugh!

Whenever I'm confused on what to do, I will spout nonsense!

Now, this is the only thing left for me to do.

__________/__________

(Jemin's POV)

_______

It's really a strange yet exciting feeling that I'm feeling right now.

Kevi went with his father to check the tribe's well being.

Whereas, Kyle and Len suddenly had a minor (actually major) dispute among themselves, and after a long day of verbal war, they came to a understanding that they needed to figure it out, who's the best among themselves in their 'Shanly' way. And to figure that out, they decided to compete by the "caw-raa-tey" (karate) moves taught by Sheea. So, now both of them had gone to train themselves for the upcoming "love show of brothers".

Well, it's not like that I care if they'll get badly injured or what. It seriously doesn't matter. If both of them get severely injured and have to have bed rest for several days and nights, I will be the happiest Shan of the tribe.

Just that my only condition is, they shouldn't get any bruise. There shouldn't be any broken bones. There shouldn't be any teeth mark on anyone's body. And lastly, there shouldn't be any missing part of anyone's body.

And that's all. That's my only condition.

I was still thinking about how the 'sheep in wolves' clothes' brothers suddenly showed their fangs, when Sheea came into the cave hastily and asked me to wait near the river bank. And then again, she left hastily but before leaving she planted a hasty kiss on my nose.

I mean seriously?! Nose!

Well, She came and left so fast, I doubt that any Shan would be faster than her.

But, still I followed her words and came to the place she wanted me to be.

And now I've already taken 109 breaths, she didn't come yet.

As time went by, I'm getting excitingly nervous as my thoughts were getting dragged to negative ones.

It's been so long. Did something happen? Just what's going on?

Why did she ask me to come here?

Does she want to say something to me? But couldn't she tell that in our home? Why ask me to come here?

Oh no! Wait!

Did she... Did she ask me come here to alternate our mating bonds?

I've heard from the tribe's gossips about this a lot. Nowadays, some Shashas would hook up with Shans just for time pass, and after getting the pleasure and power they need, they would throw away the Shans as if the Shans are nothing but more worthless than insects.

Or sometimes, after forming the mating bond, the Shasha would suddenly realize that the Shans won't be of any use to her and he may be an obstacle for her to take anymore Shans as there's a limitation to each harem, she would ruthlessly abandon him.

Am I going to suffer the same fate?

'Cause am not of any use to her. I don't have such a high power like Kevi nor am I as loving as Kyle.

So... Sheea might not like me for too long, isn't it?

Did she grow tired of me already?

Is Sheea going to do the same to me as the other Shashas?

Is she going to leave me?

The beast in me growled at that negative thought. 'Sheea won't do that,' It screamed at me.

And even though I want to believe that, I'm dying out to hear that denial from her mouth.

Where are you? Why aren't you coming yet, Sheea?

Please come faster.

I know you love me. But this wait... and this silence is killing me.

Pleas-

"Min... Hey Jemin! ...(Huff)... What's ...(Puff)... hapened? Did you ...(Huff)... get hurt some ...(Puff)... where? Hey, what's up? Why are you kneeling on the ground like that?"

This voice... Sheea?!

I abruptly looked up and as soon as my eyes met with her worried and concerned ones, I froze.

Her stray hair was sticking on her forehead, as her face was covered with drops of water. And she was breathing .... heavily..?

But I didn't care... I swiftly pulled her towards me and enveloped her whole tiny frame in my arms.

Her concerned voice kept on asking me what happened but I just couldn't answer. How could I?

My nerves were all acting up. I was scared of her abandoning me. And God knows why I was acting like that suddenly...

As I kept on inhaling her natural scent, I calmed down a lot. I know she's using her magic on me, because I suddenly felt so calm and soothing just within a few breaths.

"So, all calmed now, big cubbaby?" She asked as she patted my back.

I growled in reply as I didn't like the term she used on me and that voice of hers as if she's asking a few months old cub who just started walking, 'You aren't afraid of leaving mama anymore, right?'

What am I? Two months old?

Or perhaps she thought I am. As she giggled and planted soft kisses on my neck, and cheek.

"Now! Now! Won't you comment on the gift I gave to you?" She asked as she pulled my face away from her body and squeezed with her palms.

"Gift?" I asked as I totally confused.

What gift? Is she talking about making me wait here for so long that I began to doubt our mating bond? Or that I'm creating a new river from my teardrops of eyes and nose?

Just what?

But she didn't answer me. Instead she took one of my hands in hers and then placed it on my... head.

"Huh? What's this?" I asked as I looked at her.

She didn't say anything. She smiled and pulled me up from my kneeling place. And then brought me near the water and eye signed me to look into it.

And as I did, I found my shadow-face above the river water. But it wasn't that caught my attention. The thing that caught me attention was the lovely flower and leaves decoration on my head.

It looked so good. It's the best thing that I've ever seen in my life. And to be more precise, it looked like it's made only for me as it suited me so well.

And as I touched the thing now looking at me shadow face, I realized why I couldn't understand when she placed it on me or why I couldn't feel it's presence.

It's so beautiful yet so delicate. I loved it so much.

I abruptly turned towards her and my heart skipped a beat, when I found her looking at me with a soft smile. Her dark eyes showed my shadow face and then I lost it.

I pulled her towards me for a soft kiss and then hugged her tightly.

God, just how did I get such a caring Shasha. She's so good to me yet I was doubting her heart.

Shame on me!

She's too good for a hateful creature like me who is so insecure of her heart.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Why are you crying again? Seriously?! I made so many efforts to get a time out for us to present a lovely day, and you're spoiling it with your crying? I'm seriously telling you if you keep on doing that na, then next time, I'll figure out a way for you to fight with Len and drag Kyle with me for our lone time. And then, I will never acknowledge any of your efforts and won't give you gifts anymore. Do you know how much it took my brain cells to make this gift for you? How can you spoil my efforts like this? You bad guy, I'm telling you-"

She kept on speaking non-stop as if her mouth was chased by a predator, but I cut her off as one sentence of her caught my ears.

"'Next time figure out a way for me to fight with Len and drag Kyle with you for your lone time?' Yoy mean to say the reason Len and Kyle have been fighting like mad dogs since the morning is because of you?" I amusedly asked the culprit who had suddenly created a civil war in our home and now avoiding my eye contact while rubbing her nose.

I mean seriously?!! Just look at her. With this tiny frame and innocent face, who can ever tell she's so scheming? Huh? Who can tell?

For a moment, I even doubted my emotions... Should I be happy that my mate cares for me so much and took a time out for us? Or should I be sad that my mate destroyed her harem peace with her own hands?

"Oh c'mon! Don't look at me like that. It's not like I wanted to do it that way. But I had no other options. Yesterday night, I promised to give you a gift. And so here it is. It's just that I didn't know how to give it to you, since I didn't want to break your heart by giving you gift along with them. And since the two of them weren't going to leave, I thought to make them leave on their own," she said as she bowed her head down guiltily.

And that where it got into my senses. Did... I hurt her fragile heart with my questioning gaze?

Well, I didn't mean to-

"But if you think it's troublesome to make them quarrel with each other, don't worry I've other plans to. Next time, I'll directly freeze their acupoints so that they won't be able to move. Or I can just put them to sleep by mixing sleeping dust from Ruschia flower in their food. They will sleep for a whole day and night. Or I can ask them to find a fruit or flower that doesn't exist at all, and send them away from a good long while. Or... or... I can alsooo...," as she finished speaking, she even put a finger under her chin to think of many more absurd ideas.

Just look at that crooked smile on her face and that scheming look. And here I thought her heart was fragile!

Bleh!

It's me whose heart is fragile. The ideas she's coming with, are enough to permanently send me to God's residence by heart attack.

From where did this Shasha come from? Why is her brain so... so dangerous?
