Vyre ignored Inaara and leaned up to kiss Ashia softly.<span style="color: #a64dff">"Just because there's an egg in you doesn't mean I won't kick your ass for calling me beautiful."</span>She pulled herself closer to Ashia and deepened the kiss.<span style="color: #a64dff">"Are you ready to become a proper parent?"</span><br/><br/>The'kal's frown deepened as she listened to Melody and vanished.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff4d4d">"You don't hurt me, you've never hurt me it's always been my fault. I've always been a bad mate and you deserve better than me... but I would kill anyone who tried to take you from me. Ana is a temporary addition to our family. Once she's gone it'll just be us as it should be. And then... and then... I don't know. I know I treat you worse than shit and it kills me inside when I look at you and see how much I hurt you but I don't know what's wrong with me or how to fix it." </span>She pressed her cheek to Rachel's hand and nodded.<span style="color: #ff4d4d">"Then we will have a child, as many as you want. You've done so much for me I need to make you happy too. Yes, Rachel I-" </span>She suddenly froze when The'kal appeared behind her and wrapped the new collar around her neck. Karrie tried to reach for the choker but it seemed to be draining her energy and Rachel would feel her mate cool down to the body temperature of a normal human before she slumped over.<span style="color: #666600">"There, she's yours again. No matter where she is you'll be able to pluck her out of the deepest reaches of the Nether and have her safely appear at your side and she'll never fear you. Her emotions have been dulled to be less... excitable."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
