this new life with you

Venom knew that no matter what the pair of them were tied together for life, they were both devoted to the Empire and its furtherment. Along with the beautiful life they created together, the tiny bundles at her side that would swiftly grow into impressive heirs and members of the Empire their parents built up. The two of them were shaping the future together and more importantly than their own destinies they had the power to shape the whole pack’s futures. Sometimes that fact tried to overwhelm her, still the young Empress had been training her whole life for this responsibility. Having Hattori as her partner alleviated some of the weight on her back, and she was thankful they shouldered the responsibilities together.

The Empress settled herself as Hattori’s silvery eyes returned to the tiny children at her belly. While she would still very much admit the timing hadn’t been perfect, but even after everything she wouldn’t have changed any of her decisions. These tiny puppies might have been one of the most important events of her life. Hattori’s question was indeed late, but it should have gone without saying. Venom faced her trials and birthed their perfect heirs, the Abraxas goddess wouldn’t have wanted their life to go any other direction.

”They’re perfect. A blessing unlike anything I could have ever imagined.” She told him softly, tilting her head to place a sweet kiss on his cheek as she reached down to nuzzle the sleeping babies.
