the speech on why mating with an alien could be a good thing or a bad thing. When she concluded, she looked at her husband. “For me, I got lucky. I woke damaged and broken, and he gave me room to heal and enough time to do it.

Their little family had grown from those first days, but it still felt good to be standing together with goodwill aimed in their direction. Wimsah felt the distance that she had come in times like these, and she hugged her mate with all her strength. She would do more later, but they needed privacy for that. There were some things even the Yaluthu didn’t want to watch.
