Everything Cara had proposed to him had not been as premeditated as he would have thought. Though it had been her own internal clock which had planted the idea of expanding her lineage into her mind, not Jinx or the current season had weighed upon her choice.
Just as it was his instict -- laced with his feeling for her -- to accept to be the father of the Spine's next brood. She recieved the soft gesture he laid on the top of her forehead with a smile which only happened to broaden as he made an insinuation that in her mind could only refer to making things official.
She stopped to look at him, her mind suddenly fleeting to the image of the white-eyed male that had taken off so many months ago. He had been his real only contender if he were still here.
But he wasn't.
"Are you asking me to be your...mate?" she barked, with the same smile bubbling up again across her snout. She knew that asking him to father her children would not be well welcomed by some, and while she had no issues with keeping it that way she didn't have any oppositions against doing it in the old fashioned way.
