Laying upon a small mound of hardened dust, Mafa, alpha of the graveyard pack, dozed away lightly. Napping the hours away had become one of Mafa's favorite activities lately. As of late, her energy seemed to be sapping away, her body demanded more food, she was moodier, and no longer was she a sleek looking beast. A small buldge was become vaguely apparent on the female's abdomen. Of course she knew the source of her change. It had been Rasuli. Mafa and him had gone about to... Making an heir for the graveyard, as Mafa's last attempt had been drastically unsucessful. Rasuli would perform well, she knew it.
Ears pressed back at the feeling of tiny life within her, Mafa put her head down. She didn't like this spiel one bit. It had bothered her with Mabozi, it bothered her now. It felt like she had no privacy, no time to be alone with nothing but her thoughts. And she knew it would only get worse when 'it' got bigger, and she could feel the kicking and moving. Woe was her. With a sigh, Mafa once again closer her eyes, flopping over to her side and basking in the warm sun.

Shira skipped patrol, it didn't seem necessary in her current state. She moved to seek some company and the only other hyena that she would ever seek company in. Mafa had to be around and there quite some rumors that have been going around.....some about Yakuti, some about Kellelo, and then there was some of Mafa, the oh so powerful dictator of the Elephant Graveyard. Her belly had grown a bit since...that day.
In the distance she saw the form of the other female resting. Shira gave a good deep breath and gave a slight boost to get to her. Mafa was the only other member of this pack taht she would ever talk to.
"Mafa... mind giving me some company?"
Her tone soft. Soft? That is something that almost no one would expect for such a rough female like her, hating and distane, maybe this little...spiel is getting to her. Yakuti wanted to prove his love to her, and body did he do it. Though she still disliked him for raping her for her first mating, he made up for it when she was still in heat.
She did not care if Mafa minded her company or not, she eased herself down onto her side beside the alpha. Noticing her features now.
"God.... so the rumors are true... you are pregnant, Mafa."
This time she was simply dumbfounded. Two of the mightest females of the pack pregnant.

Mafa's head perked up in alarm before Shira even showed herself. The female had heard her packmate thumping her way towards her from a distance away. As Shira neared, Mafa, with a quiet grunt, eased herself up from her side. Still laying down, her head was raised gallantly.
"Come, Shira, company could prove useful on this weary day."
There was something different about how Shira held herself, about the way she spoke. From the looks of it, she too was filling out. Wait. Could she be... Impossible! Wasn't she the one who had just recently ranted about hating males? Mafa found herself smirking. But it soon faded, she didn't have the energy to be spiteful today. No malintent flowed in her blood at the present.
"It seems word spreads like wildfire. Yes, yes I am."
The female nodded curtly. Her tone, too had changed. Though not overly brimming with emotion, a pregnant Mafa was usually a nicer Mafa. Easier to get along with over all. Unless she got mad. Well, then her wrath would have to be tolerated. Though, this pregnancy was leaving her significantly more tired than her last, perhaps there was more than one pup?
"And you? I don't remember you being as... Round."

"It is....when there is no one else to give it to me."
She eased herseld down carefully and let out a good sigh of relief. It indeed felt good to have some company especially around these times. Mafa's behavior had changed drastically, it seemed like she was being nice to her. Actually, Shira could tell that she too was being nicer too. She laid on her side, her paws over the other...almost lady-like.
"So it would seem that the two best females of the pack are weaked from pregnancy....could not help but laugh at the thought."
She placed a paw on her belly and looked back to Mafa.
"You must've heard some rumors of Yakuti...and they are true. He is quite the beast now. Out here and in the den if you know what I mean," she laughed. "But....it wasn't how I expected it to happen. He just...lost control of himself. I guess we taught him too well and I had pushed him too far. But....he's still the same Yakuti that I knew. What about you? If I recall, you weren't as big either. May I ask who it was? Though I have an idea of whom...."

Mafa sighed, tail twitching idily behind her. Not feeling the need at the moment to show Shira that was was surperior, Mafa eased up, shifting her weight to a move comfortable position. With a scoff, she shook her head at Shira's comment,
"Not weak. Never weak. Just... Tired."
Mafa's gaze turned serious for a few minutes. She would never allow herself to become weak. Never. The female prided herself in her strength and ability. Nothing was going to bring her down.
Ears perked in curiosity as Shira spoke of Yakuti. The female chuckled lightly, beast in the den, eh? Mafa had once wondered what it would be like, engaged in a certain passion with a strong male. But, she didn't allow herself to opportunity. Her matings simply took place to get the job done, was all. All too quickly, Mafa's ear flattened as she listened further, dismissing the question posed to her for the time being.
"Lost control... As in... You didn't ask for this?"
With a nod of her head, Mafa gestured to Shira's belly. Surely she was hearing something wrong.

"Maybe not weak, wrong choice of words. I just feel so drained of everything that I have stayed in the den for days now."
Shira spoke rubbing her belly. Then she had spoke of Yakuti, a much better subject for her to talk about. She did not mind talking to Mafa, she knew her secrets and Shira knew about....her first love.
"You recall me saying I disliked and hated males right? Did I tell you the sort of male I hated were those who just wanted to show off their power and dominate others, purely there for the sake of mating.....but Yaku he was sweet and kind but showed such determination to show his worthiness for this pack, for me, for his father, and, coincidentally, for you. But when he started to have feelings for me....it just seemed to be gone. I could not have him love me, no, I could not bring myself to love him. How would you see me as such a strong female mated with a meak male? I would be embarassed to say the least....
Then...his father paid a visit and well, we all talked. I was stupid and told him that he had to get stronger, to be the strongest in the pack if he wanted me to love him. And the instant his father left, he too left to train and practice and hunt. But when he came back...he was entirely different than the male I liked and knew. He was bigger, he was faster, and he....he was just like the males I hated and I knew I doing it to him. He was persistant like I taught him. I specifically told him to stay away because I was in heat. But no, he insisted on 'proving' his love for me. I gave up the third time and just...I just let him take me.
But after that, when he tried to make it up for me...I just could not help but love him I guess. And yes, I let him have me once more again. That clearify things? At least now the pack has more a strong male and some pups from the best members of the pack."

Mafa nodded, silently agreeing with Shira. She didn't feel weak, just drained. This new life stirring within her was saping away her energy for their own benefit. Greedy little bastards. She listened solemnly as Shira told her the whole story. She still couldn't believe her ears. Little Yakuti, a brute with the power to take over such a strong female? She would have to see it to believe it, that's for sure. But Shira letting herself be taken like that... It was strange to think, she'd changed so much for the male she loved. Mafa wouldn't allow that to happen to her. No way, no how. She mated on her own terms, no one elses.
"I suspect the situation if not for my judgement, though I don't agree at all with the circumstances. It's good that Yakuti is finally taking heed and becoming strong, he will prove to be useful indeed."
The female huffed, shaking her head lightly. She'd see to Yakuti eventually, she didn't feel up to it at the moment, however.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself. You two are excellent, but I solely am the best. As for my pups, we shall see how the fair. Hopefully, these won't be a disgrace to my name as well..."

"Don't look at my any different, I am still the same cold-hearted female here....just warmed up a bit to Yakuti and you. Yakuti has just been quite the stress reliever now. He has calmed down greatly and as sweet as ever, but when he steps foot away from me or the den....then he's a male to be proud of or unless I tell him to."
She smirked. That is what she thought. She knew that is Yakuti desired to love her and have some in return, he would do as she said but to his own benefit. Surely he would listen to her if she told him to run head first into the Maziko right? He still trains to his knowledge as he returns sweatin' at night. Admittingly, she would not mind another mating with something like that. However, Mafa did not need to know that. She sighed and laid her head back down.
"Don't be too harsh on the poor guy, he was only doing it because I had told him too and I had a feeling that he would do that to me. I could have just gotten away, but I could not bring myself to hurt another hyena without a good valid reason. To me, that was valid enough. (Unlike that stupid idiot who brought a lion cub here). And on that note, I still see you as my equal Mafa, but I do respect you (to an extent), I too hope that our pups make us proud unlike Mabozi."

Mafa chuckled lightly, shaking her her in a light manner. Shira reminded Mafa of herself, in a strange way, of when she was younger. A brimming coldness to everyone except those she found suitable of her company, a girlish, and foolish notion of love. Well, not much had changed, except for the love part. Mafa was beyond love. She wondered if Shira would ever reach that point in her life. She hoped not. Everything had been sacrificed for Mafa to have the overwhelming power that she had, and while she wouldn't trade it for the world, she wouldn't bestow it upon anyone else. A curse as much as it was a blessing, in a way.
"I've no bone to pick with Yakuti, what he does to you is your business, I'd prefer to stay out of it. As long as he answers to me and is as obediant as he's ever been, I've no problem with it."
Her eyes narrowed as Shira spoke ill of Mabozi. Lately, she had started to feel a bit protective over the boy. It was her fault he was the way he was. But, after seeing the carnage he was capable of when in the right mind set, she had all the rights to. But she wasn't about to let anyone show.
"Yes... I suspect they will be an excellent addition. Raised to perfection, I can hope... Wait... Lion cub? Who brought a lion cub?"
"What do you mean? Who brought a lion here?"

"Ah, but he will unless I got something to say about it. I am not about to let some female send my mate off into something without me. Yakuti may not know it but I am just watching over him and by giving him my own commands I am doing so. But he is free to do as he wishes...."
She sighed and rubbed her belly as something hit her again. Damn, again? It had kept her up all night for the past weeks now and well....it was just irritating now. She brushed it off.
Since Yakuti's time of forced passion, it had dimmed down a bit. He seemed much calmer, sweeter, and a bit protective over her. Especially during her current condition. He had once barked at Omoa, his own....friend for touching her belly. Or was that a dream? She chuckled at the thought and smiled. He had grown into quite the male, and he was a bit of a charmer to say the least. But if she caught him so much as wooing another female, there was hell to pay. Yakuti was hers now, their mating dictated so, these pups dictated so. Yakuti was new to this, he didn't know what mating was, he didn't know what love was, someone had told him. But now, he was gonna be a father if he liked it or not.
"Some stupid rogue hyena tried to smuggle a lion cub through here. He said he was "passing through" It was long before all of this. But he got away from me, damn b*****d. If I was not distracted by Yakuti I would have gotten him....sometimes emotions can be a burden but without them....we would be as cold and cruel as rocks."

Mafa huffed very quietly. She wouldn't go out and say it now, but if she wanted Yakuti to do something, he'd do it. He knew the consequences, just as it had always been. Shira or not. But, unless there was a drastic need, Mafa wouldn't interrupt their relationship, she'd no need to.
"b*****d, betrying his own kind! If he ever shows up again, bring him to me, a believe a punishment is at hand?"
Mafa stared deeply at Shira as she rubbed her buldging belly. She seemed to be enjoying this. Mafa sure wasn't. It bothered her to no end. To think it'd be like this for another month or so was killing her.
"You... Enjoy this feeling? Being full of life? I don't"
Mafa's voice faded, sighing lightly as she nodded her head to Shira's last comment. Mafa was sure a living testament to that. Lacking emotion, the female had turned as cold as anyone could, and there was no turning back.

"I am sure we can find something fitting for a traitor. Any hyena, no matter who, who associates with a lion is a traitor in my book. When that b*****d comes back here, I will personally drag him AND that stupid fur ball here. Mostly to kill the cub and just do as we please to the traitor. However, I am sure we can find a ....hyenan method to punishing another hyena..."
She too rubbed her belly and sighed. It seemed like it would take forever as it it was gonna be like a year, no centuries for these cubs to come, how could one bare such things? Then it hit her....they were gonna come out one time or another. Now she felt weak, drained of all her energy....what would it feel like when they come out? She shivered at the thought.
"I am torn. These are born from Yakuti's strength and my energy and life. However, it ******** irritates me when it keeps me up all night, the constant kicks, the stupid mood-swings, and the feeling like I can't even move!"
she growled and stared at the ground with an extended exhale.
"If I lost my emotions, if I gave them all up for powers... then I would be nothing but a husk of what I am now. Hate drives me, love made me like this, curiousity brought me here, and loneliness is what made me seek you out today. I am sort of glad I have them, but at times they can be a burden."

Mafa grinned grimly. Yes, there was no room for traitors within her territory. They'd be dealt with as if they were lions themselves. Or perhaps, as Shira mentioned, something more clever. But, Mafa would worry about that when the time came.
Mafa sighed, nodded to Shira's comments. The female rolled over lightly, laying on her stomach, but after a few seconds, the pressure of her swelling abdomen became a bit too uncomfortable. With a dissatisfied grunt, Mafa turned back onto her side.
"I suspect, I've learned to tone it out when I sleep. But I do hate the feeling of never being alone. Once they're out, it gets worse. Nothing to look forward to."
Mafa scoffed, thinking back to her previous pregnancy with Mabozi. Boy had he been loud! And dammit, he still was.
"Love, curiosity, emotion in general. I've felt it all, albiet years ago, but I don't miss it, not really. Power is worth so much more."

"I see.... so this is what it is like to be pregnant. I wonder how you could even go through this. Twice in fact. I would as well... but I never intended to become this way the first time. It's all his fault after all. My big, blue beast did this, but at least he is working double time for the pack now. Soon a father might become a hinderance.... any solution to that?"
She rubbed her belly a bit, curling up around her swell. It pained her to know that her first time was not passionate filled, at least on her part. Yakuti was rough now and a whole lot tougher too. The male had become a strong one and yet the type she despised, but she could blame him after all, it was her who drove him to this path to please her and keep her image. She had to make it up to him.... maybe these pups would be enough not that their second and third matings while her heat lasted weren't enough for the male. With a sigh she turned her gaze back to mafa.
"Emotions are just a weakness. They cloud our judgement and sense of duty. However, I wish to keep mine, power is of great worth, but the passion that Yakuti and I shared that one time was a worth a whole lot more. Surely, Mafa, you shared some sort of passion once or was this purely for the heir of the pack?"
Soft words can sometimes be cruel.

Mafa shook her head sternly,
"If he becomes a hinderance, then he becomes an annoyance not only to you, but to me. And we don't want that to happen, now do we? Do your best to keep that male in line, Shira."
Mafa continued to lay on her side, ignoring the buldge in her mid-section. The pups were still not moving for now, she'd have a little more peace before they went at it, kicking and squirming about. It would be quite the nightmare, all over again.
Mafa eyed Shira for a few seconds before looking away. This whole situation, if Mafa was to be honest with herself, did demean Shira in her eyes. Mafa had expected the tawny female to be strong in both body and in mind. The way she just let Yakuti have at her was just a sign of... A sign of weakness. No female should let themselves be used to how males want them. Mafa knew she never would.
"Passion, I believe is overrated. To have passion, there needs to be love, and I've no time for love. I am passionate, though, passionate about erradicating the lions, but I needn't soften myself to the likes of mush for some male. I do not love the father of the pups, I simply favor him above all the other pack members. He is my most trustworthy, my most cunning, my strongest. Certainly, he will produce a most stunning heir."
