Turning her to the side, I traced a swirling pattern of black and midnight stripes with my eyes. Her face and chest were a pale blue-gray. Her fur was the same color as my hair, silver. Everything about her was soft to the touch. She filled both of my hands and felt so light compared to her size. My eyes locked on the cub as he passed her to me. He unwrapped the towel to reveal a furry head as Odelm lowered the blanket to my waist. I believe you have a few cubs who are hungry and want to meet you,” Xylo whispered. Xylo climbed the stairs and approached with one of the cubs. The healers trailed behind them as they all gathered at the edge of the nestbed. Xylo and the princes entered, beaming, each carrying a crying cub.
It triggered something within me, and my breasts began to ache. The bathroom door opened, and I heard small cries.
We anticipated with so many willing arms to help, it would not often be needed, but it was nice to have a place to put them if necessary. I now lay propped against a pile of pillows, a small crib nearby that Odelm had made based on examples Xylo had found in his research. I allowed my eyes to drift closed, but not before noticing how red the bath water now was. Sighing with relief, I leaned my head on Odelm’s shoulder as he carried me out of the bathroom. After a few boosters and vitamin injections, a full body scan with their portable screen, and a soothing towel dry, Xylo said I could be moved to the bedroom. Odelm and Xylo helped me to the tub ledge, where I leaned against Odelm as Xylo pressed on my stomach and inspected me for tears, bleeding, or other injury. Thank the Stars.Ĭhyox asked if they could keep it for research, and not caring about what happened to it, I told him it was fine. “We will not fail your clan.”Ĭlosing my eyes and taking a few deep breaths, I prepared myself.
If any one of us refuses something, it is final.”Ĭhyox nodded. But my nestmates also have a say in this. “If that is what you want to do, I will take any help I can get. The others had never treated me different because I was human, but Chyox always acted like I was going to attack him at any moment. You are the nestqueen and this is your clan.” This is a historic moment, and we want to do our part. “It has been a long time since we have been in the presence of newborns. “We agreed to stay around and help out,” Chyox chimed in from the table behind Xylo. We will make sure you and the cubs are fed and taken care of.”
Then Odelm and I will not leave your side until you are ready for us to do so. Xylo smiled and continued, “Yes, we should be done inspecting and cleaning them up by then and will give them to you to feed.
