224: Eggs Forming!

---

Each thrust of power—deliberate. Controlled. It hit the stop like a bullseye.

Kai's aura spilled through her—marking her from within. His soul tendrils coiled around hers like vines claiming stone. In return, Akayoroi's royal core opened like a flower, drawing its essence into the deepest parts of her being.

She was no longer Queen of a dead tunnel. She was the Matron of a future hive. Of his hive.

Their connection transcended instinct. They didn't speak. Just a soft Pat Pat Pat sound echoed in the tunnels. Each push inside her belly made a sound. Their thoughts echoed through the soul bond.

Kai: "You are mine. Tonight I will give you the best pleasure in this world."

Akayoroi: "And you are mine. Please, do it. I am really liking it." 

Kai started to push harder. She clawed Kai back with her nails and started to cry louder. Her cries came not in shame or weakness, but in song. A battle chant of rebirth.
