"I can claim you then. But I prefer to wait until you feel stronger."<br/><br/>I knelt by the cage and stuck my arms in, my hands caressing Jacen's fur as I spoke.<br/><br/>"Rest for a little more. Everything will be okay. Nobody will hurt you. My brother is probably giving us a very hard time, but I don't mind if you do. He tried to get me another mate right away, but I refused to take one. I won't have anyone but you ever touch me as far as I live."<br/><br/>"You can go now. Thank you.", I said to the nurse. As we were alone, I let out a sigh.<br/><br/>"I'll let you out now", I said, before pulling my arms back and unlocking the cage.
