[Klayko]

Ivan was clearly tired before, but walking only ensured that this chase was just about done. The feeling he felt would only get worse. His body would glisten with sweat, his heart would race, but not by much that it would render him in anything life threatening or worse. Finally, his mind would be lost in a haze of lusty thoughts. He would be aware of everything, but it would be clear that the thought of fear would be well gone as this predator seized him up into the trees, the sound of claws ripping through fabric heard alongside what was possible purring and moaning.

Jaxon flinched at the cut, his jeans torn as he noticed a gash of slashes across his calf. He dared not try to wipe it, but his hands did come across a clear substance instead. Whatever it was, he could only curse in fear of it being a poison. His mind was distracted by Ramonda and surviving as he practically limped towards her once she fully helped him up.

"I uh think it did something to me," he stated, his mind finding it really hard to concentrate, emphasis on hard as he was trying to fight against a strong urge to start pitching a tent in his trousers. Still, Ramonda seemed to be right. He could see such beasts practically hanging on the walls of various hotels, toying with prey that was trying to slip by.

"Okay, let's go to your house."

He followed her, unaware of it being a set up. Once he sat down on the couch, he began to look over the wound. It wasn't too sharp, but his eyes widened as if trying to fight against an influential drug against his mind. As he tried to resist, two instances occurred: He was now locked inside the house and there was obviously something there waiting on him.

[PregnantTyler]

The trap was a success. Brad had beaten Jaxon to HIS home at least ten minutes before Ramonda lured him there. He waited for Jaxon to get nice and comfy before seizing him right on the couch. Ramonda left, not really caring to watch but promised she would make her daily visit him tomorrow morning.

The next morning would come to pass, and Brad was in looking through his dresser for a pair of clothes to wear "Damn it, I should have thought ahead last night. I really liked those cargo shorts." He said to Ramonda who was preparing breakfast, Jaxon was apparently still out on the couch.

Meanwhile, Ivan would wake up, naked in an unfamiliar place and instantly realising there is a man up his rear. In his mind he remembered being pounded by what he could only describe as a furry, but after tilting his head back he recognized that the man inside him was Henrique. He assumed the drinks he was served were drugged... "O-oh!" He yelped in a panic "Courtney!" He got of of bed, Henrique's cock sliding out of him, and failed to find his phone or even any of his clothes.

[Klayko]

Jaxon hardly had time to react with yelling "Wait," before Bradley pounced on him. He should have been fighting, but he couldn't. He found it hard to resist, this beast seemingly turning him on even further as the night ended in a way he never imagined, a pained yet soft gasp escaping his thick lips upon feeling the length.

When he awoke, he stirred from the noise Bradley was producing as he looked for clothes. Jaxon groaned given he was not exactly a morning person. His brown eyes searched around, the first thing he spotted being Bradley with a man and young children in a photo. He slowly tried to fully awake, now realizing that if he didn't have the cover over him on the couch, he would be fully naked. As his memories fluttered back with feeling the dull ache in his lower back and rear, he cursed aloud "Shit!"

Henrique and Minha's family were quite on the loftier side of Rio, the slums below them, literally, no less. As Ivan began to panic and run around Henrique's room, the Brazilian male's green eyes shot open quickly. 

"Will you shut it," he said with aggression, his voice growling lowly. His hand rose up, motioning for Ivan to get back in the bed with him. "Before you wake the others. They're much more pissed about you disturbing them if you're not the maid coming to serve breakfast."
.
He reached to a table by the bedside, grabbing a phone. Ivan's phone.

"It was the only thing left from our passionate love making. If you don't remember, that's fine. It'll click in soon, but right now, there's a lot of other things that need to be explained and panicking isn't going to solve it."

[PregnantTyler]

Bradley heard his new mate wake up and ran to the living room, still naked. "Well good morning, sunshine!" He managed to not destroy Jaxon's clothes from last night and grabbed them from a desk, placing them beside Jaxon on the couch "I had a wonderful time with you last night. Ramonda's just making us all breakfast. You know her right, the albino that escorted you here?" He casually just chatted away as if the chaos from last night had never occurred. He was trying his best to be friendly, knowing the position Jaxon was now in.

Ivan sighed and got back in bed with Henrique and snatched the phone back. There was a text notification from Courtney "Sorry sexy, I just wasn't really in the mood to talk, how was your first day in Brazil?"

He set the phone on his lap, how in the sweet Hell was he supposed to answer that? "Oh just great Court, I just had an affair with a man!" He thought to himself. He figured he may listen to Henrique explain whatever he was going to explain while he thought of a reply.

"I remember that the bar was attacked by....things....and I got lost in the woods. I don't remember how we ended up having sex." He checked his finger, his ring was luckily still there.

[Klayko]

Seeing Bradley run into the living room was perhaps the last thing Jaxon wanted to see, naked especially. He gripped the covers, probably the only thing he could think about in terms of clothing. Oh, Jaxon could remember last night very well and at this point, his mind was raced with panic, uncertainty and confusion. Panic becsuse he was quite sure Brad turned into that beast last night. Uncertainty because he was not sure how to react at the way he practically threw himself on to that beast last night, which led to confusion and awkwardness on how to take this current situation. 

"How can I forget the person who locked me in a room," he said with a dry mouth. His tone was mixed with a bit of anger. "Wha...no, how...no..."

He ran a hand through his short black hair, trying to figure out what exactly happened, why, what the hell was Brad...so many questions and so little time that the most responsive reaction was Jaxon bolting from the couch and trying to make a run for it.

Back at the lovely Souza estate, Henrique glanced at the phone Ivan was so desperate to get to, seeing the text from someone down to the ring he wore on his ring finger.

"See, this makes me feel bad," Henrique said. "If you didn't run into that forest, this might have been a different tune this morning."

It might not have, but it was simply the thought. He sighed and explained "Oh, that beast and I are one in the same. Last night was the last Super Moon of the year and that in turn made it twice as hard for me to resist the urge to, well...mate. That's why you yourself were turned on at the idea, a toxin my claw produced that was made to not kill for that night." 

[PregnantTyler]

Ramonda’s feline instinct caused her to sprint to Jaxon and pin him to the wall. “Now where do you think you think you’re going?” She asked, in a stern tone “Don’t you know that it’s rude to just leave before being served your meal?”

“Damn it Ram, let go!” The naked blonde snapped and she instantly complied “But yeah, if you could pretty please sit back down, I can explain some things, and I have a lot to cover.”

Ivan was more than a little skeptical about Henrique’s story, but at the same time he could not really poke any holes in it. Henrique knew full well of the cut and what it did to Ivan, so he had to, unfortunatly, be telling the truth. That only made the titan more afraid, if this beast could so easily manipulate his own lust, what else could he do? “Can you just tell me how to get back to my hotel room from here?” He asked nervously

[Klayko]

Jaxon was taken by surprise. Not only had she pinned him to the wall, he was practically being lifted up all with just one hand. It was safe to say he definitely was not tripping last night at all. He fell to the floor, a bit more freaked out as Brad in all his naked glory approached him. He felt a bit...submissive.

"Yea...." He said nervously as he sat down on the couch, slowly reaching for his underwear at least.

Henrique pulled Ivan closer to his body, the male taking a deep sniff across his neck to inhale his scent in a weird affectionate manner as a lick to aptly added. "Because of what happened last night, I'm seeing you in a much different light. Soon, it will be the same for you as you're now a claimed man."

His hand lifted Ivan's arm up. Where the scratch was delivered rested a much deeper mark that seemed to have healed, yet left a permanent scar all the same. Ivan was a marked man now.

"I will take you to your hotel, but it's for you to gather your belongings. What I have to tell you next is something that has ruined your normal life forever, starting with this simple truth: Our unprotected love making has yielded to results."

Ivan could not heat it just yet, but Henrique could. As absurd as it might sound to the transitioning human, it was true. He was pregnant. 

[PregnantTyler]

"There ya go, easy does it." Bradley gently pulled Jaxon up and helped him back on the couch. He was sitting beside him now as he explained what he was going to say, both to comfort him and to easily restrain him should he react....negatively.

"So uh....This is gonna be real weird." Brad stumbled through his words, having difficulty saying any of this in a way that would both make sense and not freak out Jaxon. It was also weird being in the other side of this situation "We fucked, obviously. And I'm a....well a werejaguar is I guess what you would call it." Ramonda entered the room with three plates of breakfast sausage and Bradley thanked her before continuing "That's actually not the weirdest part though, we're pregnant!"

That's funny, from what Ivan heard, it almost sounded as though Henrique had just made him his own property and was making him move in. "This is starting to sound like a bad horror flick." He groaned as Henrique pulled him closer "I mean, yeah I'm a claimed man, to my female fiancée. In Canada." Henrique's last few words were what really confused him though. If he werre a woman, it would almost make him think he were pregnant, but he was a man, and it was far too early to tell at the this point "Do you mind explaining that again?"

[Klayko]

Jaxon knew those arms were more for security than anything. He tested it by moving slightly, feeling that same strong grip Brad had on his shoulders the night before. Did he even stand a chance in the first place in getting away? Frankly, the thought of sausage, trying to wrap his head around everything; It was nauseating. He had heard of Werewolves only in works of fiction, but this was hard to get around, especially with the last set of words by Brad.

"What do you mean we're pregnant," he asked nervously.

"As much as I would like to humor the thought of mundanely human affairs," he stated. "I can't exactly have you parading back off to Canada with this other person, especially in this condition of yours."

Henrique eased away from the bed, opening curtains by the window to let a little sunlight in. From where they resided, they practically had a good view of everything.

"As you've witnessed, I'm something your mind cannot easily comprehend, but I must assure you that such supernatural beings like me exist. If you were to have gone deeper into the forest, you might have come across much worse than myself such as a crocodile or anaconda to name a few down to something blood sucking deep within a cave. The point is that humans are not the only species and as a result, we play by different rules, starting with the fact that humans are very diverse, for breeding."

He turned to look back at Ivan. "In three months or less, you'll be delivering our children. Conception begins a bit quicker, a trait we share with actual Jaguars, I'm afraid."

If he didn't believe him, Henrique told him to stay his week out on his vacation to begin seeing the results, but he already knew because his ears could hear the small heartbeats already.

[PregnantTyler]

Brad looked confused, as if telling a man that he was pregnant wasn't a strange thing to say "I mean you know, that you're pregnant. I can already hear them." He answered while pointing at the man's flat belly "Sounds weird, I know. Give it a few days and you will start to notice yourself." He took a bite of his sausage and noticed Jaxon's surprised and confused face "Heh....That's pretty much how I reacted, too..." his facade broke for a second, being reminded of better days.

Poor Ivan was at a loss for words, he didn't want to believe it, but nothing Henrique said before was a lie, so outrageous as this was he knew it had to be true. He wrapped his arms around his knees and stared at the edge of the bed "A-are...are you saying that I can't leave?" He asked, holding back tears. The thought of never returning to his beloved or his family back home was a lot for him to take in. Funny, he really wanted to start a family, but now it was actually happening and he just wanted to roll over and die.

"I need to get my things, clothes would be nice." He said, wanting to return to his hotel room as soon as possible.

[Klayko]

Jaxon scoffed. He wanted to shrug this off, to think Brad was as crazy as Minha and the others among the tours every year kept insisting, but like seeing him transform last night, a part of him knew Brad was telling the truth. He had to accept this fact, in small doses, that whatever Brad was ended up getting him pregnant. 

"And what," he asked. "You saw me in the bathroom and said "Oh hey, easy prey?"

"I'm not saying that we can't leave," he explained. "A family is still a family. I could not fathom keeping you away from yours. I am saying that with your current condition, you won't be exactly fit to travel that far, for now. Usually it's around eight months for a human. You'll be hitting that clock frame much sooner."

His hand rested around Ivan's waist, allowing him to get a good feel of his stomach. "Will things be the same between you and this Catherine however? Unfortunately not."

Gingerly, he held Ivan's hand, lifting him up from the bed. "Of course I'll take you back to the hotel. You can't go there naked however."

He opened his drawer. They might fit Ivan more looser given Henrique's size, but they were better than nothing. 

"I can run a shower for you to do away with the scent of last night," he stated while pointing to his personal bathroom.

[PregnantTyler]

Ramonda smiled by Jaxon's comment, knowing it was not too far from the truth. Brad sratched the back of his neck awkwardly, quickly wondering how to weasel his way out of this. He wanted to be nice to the poor guy, and offer him more than he could to his previous mate and children. "Well I....I suppose you did turn out to be easy but thats not why! Promise!" He reluctantly picked up one of the pictures of his mate and children and scooted a little closer to Jaxon so he could see "You see, I had a family before but....well, they're gone now." He paused, choosing not to go into much detail yet and worried that Jaxon would pester "I wanted a second chance, and chose you because you were easily the most familiar and recurring tourist." He wasn't lying, but deliberatley left out the part of spiting Minha.

"Her name is Courtney." Ivan said lowly, his soft voice suddenly breaking into more of a baritone before quickly returning to its normal, higher pitch. "It's fine, I can bathe myself." He spedwalk to the bathroom with his cell in his hand. He had to be impressed, while he currently felt that Henrique was sleazy for changing his life forevor with little to no say of his own for the matter, he had a damn fine place. His phone rang while he turned the water on. It was Courtney. "Hello? He said as he answered the call.

"Babe, you saw my text but didn't answer!" A woman's voice said through the other line "What are you doing right now?"

Ivan rubbed his forehead. He was relieved to hear her voice but didn't really have an excuse yet. "I'm just a little hungover, had too much roomservice, you know.....how are you?"

"Not great, Ivy." Courtney answered. "I've been throwing up all morning. But don't worry about it." Strangely, she seemed more nervous than he was, as if she said something she shouldn't have. "I'll text ya later!" And with that she hung up.

[Klayko]

Jaxon saw the way Ramonda smirked. It was true and now, he just felt completely empty inside. They were forcing him to stay and apparently eat sausage when he wasn't hungry in that sense. Forcing him to do a lot of things, really, and expected him to be chill about this. As he glanced at the photo, he put the name to a face: Luciano Souza. Henrique and Minha's older brother. There was an unfortunate accident, he recalled, but now it made Jaxon raise his thick eyebrow.

"Wait, does that mean Henrique and Minha are like you both?"

Was she trying to lure him that entire time last night? Jaxon shoved away from Brad. It was nice to know that Brad wanted to have another family again at the expense of someone who more or less didn't do anything bad to him.

"This is a lot to think about and I'm hung over," he said. "Can I just get some more rest if you're keeping me under house arrest?"

Henrique could hear the conversation. It came with the park of heightened senses. Still, he did not intrude. This was a very delicate and tacky situation after all. Still, he needed to clean off as well and this was technically his room. He found himself playing with his phone, reading a text from Minha of how she was pissed. She mistook someone for Jaxon and killed him, but now that she knows it's not him, she's relieved and yet, is finding his aroma mixed. Brad succeeded after all. Henrique smirked. 

[PregnantTyler]

Both jaguars firmly nodded. "Not only them, but a fair number of people around here are." Brad answered. "Oh wait, did you know him?" He didn't react when Jaxon moved away. If Jaxon did meet Luciano, Brad was most likely 3 months along and nearly bedridden while he waited for the full moon to arrive so he could begin labor.

"But hey, I get it. This is a lot of exposition just dumped on you outta the blue. We can get into more details later. You can do whatever you want to, just don't leave just yet. You're not a prisoner."

Ivan placed a hand in the shower stream and stepped inside once it was hot enough. He held onto the grab bar, his lower body kind of exhausted of the pounding he took only some hours ago. When he finished he was feeling much better, the bad odors from running in the woods having been eliminated. He silently exited and saw a small pile of clothes laid out for him on the bed. Despite being a little loose, they fit him fine otherwise.

[Klayko]

Jaxon couldn't process there being a lot of these creatures, people....whatever they were, but he had to at least deal with knowing that somehow, Brad and Ramonda felt it nice to get him involved. 

"I didn't know him that well," he said. "Just knew he did a few jobs here and there. Henrique and Minha are th4 closest I've seen from that family given they're usually in the more lofty areas."

He sighed as he eased back on the couch, deep in thought. What was he going to do? He found himself examining his leg, noticing the dark mark on it as he rubbed it.

Henrique remained in the bed, his hand reading through a journal. It was just written information about the Super Moon and how it affected not just his kind, but werewolves and so forth. His eyes narrowed in amusement about potency and fertility rates.

"Well, this might be interesting," he mused to himself. That was news Ivan did not need to hear right now. News of informing him how he might be having more than the average litter under a regular moon might make him break. He placed the journal in his drawer as the bathroom door opened. 

[PregnantTyler]

"Ah, well he was my former husband." Ramonda looked at Brad with confusion when he chose the word husband. They were not legally married though Brad would call him that out of respect after his passing. "And to be honest, I'd prefer to leave it at that for now."

Bradley finished his sausage and Ramonda grabbed their plates to wash them. Jaxon seemed to be just the tiniest bit calmer than earlier "Well, I think thats all for starters." Brad said as he rose up from the couch "You can do anything you like, so long as I'm at reasnable distance.." he wandered back to his room to resume looking for an outfit to wear.

"Mind if we get going?" Ivan asked impatiently after dressing himself. He was in an understandably bitter mood and wanted to return home asap so he could be with Courtney. There was a missed call on his cell phone, from when was showering, from her along with a text telling him that she had something important to share with him later.

"If it's so important, then why does it need to wait?" He texted back

"I'm not real sure how to put it, you'll understand!" What? Of all other things to be concerned about, why was she acting so strange?

[Klayko]

Now he was basically being leashed. Great. Jaxon wasn't interested in the food and as a result, let it get passed up. He wanted privacy without, well, the odd company of strangers. 

"Can I at least run a shower," he said. "And go back to my hotel room?"

Henrique glanced at Ivan. "Yea, once I shower off. Can't exactly parade out in the day reeking of last night affairs."

He recommended Ivan did not try to leave the room in his absence though. Given their location, he would most likely get thrown back in the room from the guards. Henrique exited out the bathroom close to thirty minutes later, dressed in blue jean shorts that stopped a little above his knee and an otherwise loose button navy blue shirt.

"Alright, pessao (man), let's go!"

He opened his room door, out to a hallway that was more or less like a walkway at a small hotel, doors scattered on each narrow side with an open exit that greeted them with warm tropic air. 

 "We're a little far out from the hotel," he explained. "But you'll get a tour again on the way there. Welcome to some makeshift life of mine, often hidden behind the gate to keep most of the "heretics" out."

As he stepped out towards the exit, Henrique would reveal to Ivan a vast mansion with a view that was practically revealing most of Rio. Ivan would as a result see the border that separated the huge bustling city from the upper class, that of which they presently were at.

[PregnantTyler]

"O-oh! Yeah, of course you can." Brad pointed to his room. "There's a bathroom adjoining it. Do you want me to bathe y-wait, that's weird sorry." He facepalmed and once the werejaguars were alone, Ramonda finally spoke.

"Holy shit." Ramonda said with a laugh "And I used to think you were awkward around Luciano. You act like this is your first school crush."

Brad's face was blushing "Yeah.....It's a little weird doing the actual wooing AFTER knocking them up." Ramonda looked a little confused "In most parts of the world, people usually form a close bond before having sex instead of just cutting them"

Ivan tried to get more out of Courtney while he waited, though she was still acting very distant. Once Henrique entered the room again fully dressed he put the phone back in his pocket. "Coming."

Ivan couldn't help but look at every little thing as he followed Henrique through the house. The rooms were numerous though he had yet to actually see any, with an occasional guard near a room. He heard one say "Poor guy" under his breath and did his best not to let that get him worked up. It was the outside though, that really impressed him. The mansion towered over him and he had to look straight up to the top, not to mention the incredible view that rivaled the views of a few mountains he and Courtney would look atop of while hiking. It improved his mood somewhat.

"How did you get me here?" He asked, his mind still hazy from the previous night.

[Klayko]

If his face could, it might have gone red at Brad trying to suggest he could help him bathe, but thankfully he realized that was a bad idea. Jaxon walked through the room. He might have saw a few things here and there, but it wasn't until he closed the bathroom door that he finally felt some kind of privacy. What was he going to do around two individuals content to keep a close eye on him at all times? For that matter, what were they going to do when he got back on the flight out of there in a week because that was what was going to happen whether they liked it or not. He just had to come to terms that he practically let Brad have his way with him on top of, well, the fact Brad and these Werejaguars existed. When he was sure Brad might have finally gotten dressed, he eased out the door. 

"If you insist on being at an earshot of me, I would really like to go back to my room and...I don't know...stay there?"

Henrique led them out to the front of the mansion, cars parked in the garage where he picked a very tacky one compared to the more luxurious kind. He knew the situation between them was weird, especially with the guard calling Ivan a Poor Guy. 

"Once we finished and knotted," he explained. "That primal urge to mate left and I began coming back to my senses. That and..."

He didn't finish, saying it wasn't worth discussing at the moment. He did not want Ivan to know that this was rigged, that most of Brazil was in on it and that the cameras and bystanders turned blind eye last night. As a result, there were plenty of Werejaguars dragging their knotted mates back somewhere much openly. 

"Anyways, this car helps me blend in. Helps keep me inconspicuous and less likely a target for raids."

[PregnantTyler]

"You know, you never told him he would be staying here." Ramonda realised

"....oh, shit." Compared to Henrique, it was pretty clear that Brad was just planning everything as it went along. "Well uh, I'll have to tell him later." Luckily the blonde male was in fact dressed once Jaxon exited the bathroom. "Yeah, I can give you a ride there. But uh....I can't let you stay there for a while." Brad was going to add that he couldn't return home for a few months either, but quickly stopped talking. This was a lot harder than he thought.

Ivan listened silently as he followed Henrique to the car, and his phone vibrated in his pocket again. He grabbed it and saw another text from Courtney, or rather a picture. His already pale face flushed white as a ghost as he very quickly put it in back in his pocket.
