"Indeed, and even rarer that I am allowed to show it." Meesei replied. "But you are going to be able to re-connect with your mother, and for days longer than I ever anticipated. I am simply happy to have been able to give you that chance. My blood relatives back in Black Marsh, they are not really my family anymore, if they ever were to begin with. Beyond my father, I was never close to my family there, by Saxhleel standards. But, I have more of a family now than I ever did then. The brash, bold, and secretly soft-hearted Lorag. Ahnasha, the flawed, but caring mother, and my second, Fendros: a man with the willpower to be able to rise to what his challenges demand of him and far more potential than he even realizes. I have the cheerful and kind-hearted Kaleeth, and the level-headed, loyal, and dedicated warrior Janius. I have their children, who will hopefully be able to carry on into a world we have made safe for them. I have my brilliant and beautiful daughter Sabine, who means more than any world in Aurbis to me."

As she spoke, Meesei moved around slowly to Lunise's front, locking eyes with her the moment she could see them. "And I have you. My loving, talented, and divinely gorgeous mate. You are part of that family, [i]my[/i] family. No matter how much we have to work to keep it secret, you are not an outsider to me. You are not just my lover, you are a [i]part[/i] of my pack. Beast blood or no, it does not matter." There was another, brief pause as Meesei's voice became somewhat choked up and the tears in her eyes became more obvious. "It is as if I feel a genuine pain every time I have to pretend you are anything less than that. One day, we will be able to live as a family, openly, with no more lies. No more pretending, no matter how long it takes. Mark my words, I will make it happen."
