Blackfeather Woods If I had a heart

Kove was simply not available. It seemed appropriate, to allow Kove to plant his seed on Potema. The pups would be pure. But Nemesis had claimed him, and Damien would respect that union. And the thought of having Xan father the next generation of Spiderlings to the world disgusted Damien. No, he was simply not going to touch his sister, ever. He was too young, he was too troublesome. But mostly, he was too close.

"No, they will not touch you," he assured, shaking his head surely, "but a fit foreigner, one that looks strong and will not bring us trouble should suffice," he suggested, anticipating his sister's reaction. It would be perfect. She wouldn't have a problem luring males during her heat to get what she needed, and since the donor would have no ties to Blackfeather Woods they would be free to raise the pups as they pleased and secure their permanence.
