Doing it Dirty

If you enjoy music while reading, try "Empires" by Ruella. It's what I listened to while I was writing!

~ SASHA ~ 

Sasha's heart pounded so hard, the thudding in her ears overpowered the roar of the engine. "You can't know that."

"Actually, I can. We all can. Think it through, Sasha. We had to keep him away from you until you were both matured. We didn't waste that time. Zev's been training—and he's been mating. And yet… do you see any little Zev's running around?"

Sasha swallowed, her stomach beginning to churn with nausea. "He said… he said he didn't think it worked. That maybe he can't—"

"Oh, he can. Just not with anyone but his mate. See, it turns out, if you remove that connection, that Chimeran bond completely, you get a mule—you know about mules, right, Sasha?"

Mules were half-horse, half-donkey… and they were always sterile. They couldn't reproduce.

Sasha nodded. "I know."
