Hannibal would never desire to implement himself into Deathbelle's first litter's lives. Going for the role of step-father was something that the male would never do. All in all they were family and she was the heir to the Empire. He would treat Venom and her litter mates as he would if he and Deathbelle weren't mates. He knew some of the kids would have their reservations but he hoped that those opinions would not negatively impact their new offspring. The pups didn't deserve wrath at such a young age. Hannibal would happily take the brunt of the negativity on his back to shield the young ones.

Eyes poured into the pool before them to watch his rippled reflected. He did look tired, that much was true. But, it was a tired he would take over anything in those moments. A lack of sleep due to his beautiful pups was a blessing in his eyes. "The pups have needs at all hours. But, I have no complaints." He glanced towards the Princess with a raised brow, "Have you had the chance to meet them yet?"
