Lion Head Mesa fucked around and got attached to you

Serein relaxed by fractions when Disa answered — and then fully, when she spoke of communally raising their offspring. The notion hadn't occurred to her, but... You could share my den. It could be bigger, she offered, already thinking of the soft dirt walls that could be carved out to create more space.

I can ask Kemal to dig more room, Serein decided next, and that settled the last of her worry. If Disa shared a whelping den with her, and all that followed, she would never need to worry about anyone else stealing the woman's attention away. Or her children. They will be mine, too, she vowed to herself. Not some man's. Hers.
