   Skoll's ear twitched at the mention of a father. Was Asphyxia not single? He hadn't even thought to ask. Could he be a part of adultery? He knew that it was a crime with serious consequences, though those consequences might be different or warped somehow in the highly political climate of Bleeding Souls...more complicated but less severe punishment, he suspected. "Your children...their father. Are you sure he's gone? Wouldn't you regret being with me if you found out your mate still lived?" He did not want to undervalue what they had been feeling for the last few weeks, but he knew he had not been a mate to her. They were different species in a land where species mattered, and the damnable politics of this place made any such union near impossible, especially with Inferni the way it was. Nevertheless, he loved her...if it wasn't all a trick of his mind, he felt like he could love her forever. If a new man emerged from the smoking ruin of Bleeding Souls, he did not want to relinquish her affection, but nor did he want to create a rift within her family. After all, another coyote could care for her much more directly than he would be able to. He wanted to be there for her always, but until a solution to their situation was found, he knew that could never happen without great loss to Asphyxia. That was the last thing he wanted. ~The lyrics are from the best song ever written. |
