"We can't do that. I can't allow you decide to harm our mate just because of words said in anger. Leave Blacky, his words aren't all that effective.
He'll forget the words he said the moment he gives birth to a health baby." Blondie frowned at Reddy.
"I highly doubt that. I won't forget my words Neche. If you think I'll do that, then you have a surprise coming your way.
Am going back to my father, back to my kingdom."
I've already planned what I'll do if they don't accept my proposals. It's just easy, I'll leave.
"You..."
"We agree." Reddy looked straight at me. "We agree now, but know this. If anything happens to you or the baby during the bonding ceremony, I'll never forgive you."
" Nothing will."
All I want is to have a complete baby, and not a disfigured one.

Blondie wasn't in support of Reddy, but he went along with it.
" You finally got what you want." Kwofo frowned when I told him what transpired earlier between my mates and I.
"Why won't they do that? It's either they agree to that, or I leave them."
I just know threatening them with leaving will make them agree to whatever I say despite what it might be.
"You wouldn't have done that had they not agreed right?"
I smiled "I would have left them."
I won't want to be with mates who don't respect my words and decisions. Mates who don't allow me decide on what's good for me.
"I would have gone back to Ugali, back to Father and my family."
" You're really a stubborn one aren't you?"
" Says the guy who doesn't want to acknowledge his mate." I scoffed.
Turning, I focused on fruits am taking.
Just like always Kwofo didn't comment more on my words. He just grew silent as if in deep thoughts.
" I don't want to leave your side Buch. This is my promise to you." He placed a hand on my shoulders. " I promised to serve you all my life."
Placing a hand on top his own, I looked straight into his eyes. " Stop trying to make me an excuse. You swore an oath of service, it's true, but that doesn't mean you can't look for happiness.
You're free to go wherever you might want to go, am not against that. You're free to be who you want. You deserve to be happy."
Letting him go now is the best gift I can give to him. He might not know it now, but he will later on.
Keeping him to myself, and away from his mate is the worst thing I'll ever do to him. One day he'll come to resent me for keeping him from the love he deserves.
"I know am free to do as I please, but I want to serve you. Am happier serving you."He placed his hands on mine. " If I ever have a child, he'll serve your son."
" If I get a son."
Placing my head on his shoulder, I closed my eyes.
