Unsurprisingly ti continued to pass by rather quickly since I had so very many things to attend to at every possible mont, so before I knew it nightti had arrived, bathing everything in that comforting darkness that beckoned sleep.
Managing those various projects as best I could, taking care of my family however they needed, setting down so plans for the next day and giving help to Heila in the kitchen ant that I had very little free ti, though those monts where I could just step back and catch my breath were... interesting.
Obviously I wanted them quite badly with the chaos, yet the mont that I had these brief monts of quiet all to myself I only found myself more concerned about everyone else instead of just focusing on , which I suppose was about right all things considered.
It got to the point that I was just making my ’breaks’ those few monts when I could get the pups to be calm and take them around the compound, or if they were being far too energetic already then I hoisted up Bashuk and cuddled the intriguing Orc.
Bashuk was a healthy in between of Thalia and Vesper, being just as ’stoic’ as her Dama yet also having clear outbursts where she used her ’strength’ to try and get what she wanted, which most of the ti was just my complete and undivided attention or more typically, my boob.
It was during those fleeting monts though that I realized Luna was still here, yet with the sporadic openings I had and Luna spending a lot of ti lingering around Vesper and the other two pups, I didn’t really have a chance to speak to her until around dinner ti... which was now.
Leaning against the railing and staring over the river below, I pursed my lips before asking "Do you have to go tonight..?", which imdiately earned a soft hug from behind as Luna murmured "I have a lot I need to do, Astra... I’m sorry."
"Like what?"
"Dama wants to finish rounding up the last of this bandit group that ca down from the desert, and we need to help the city guard with a few things here and there, so... for the ti being we’re quite busy. Plus most of the Pack has returned to their posts, so we’re a little light on hands."
I pouted at that yet still nodded and leaned back into her, enjoying her hug before savoring the hesitant kiss she gave ; she was still quite... ’hot and cold’ when it ca to this, yet that was certainly one of the more charming things about her.
Those monts where she was intense and passionate were so arousing, yet these more frequent monts of calm and collected maturity was so reassuring from soone, especially soone that was a Dama of one of my children.
"But when then does that an you can move here for good..?"
"I don’t know, but hopefully soon. I’ll visit as often as I can, don’t you worry. I just... need to get this done first."
I nodded again before savoring the second, more certain kiss she gave , and for a mont I could tell she was getting turned on by how I was rubbing against her, but sadly I was still a little achy and everyone was sort of ’watching’ from inside.
"Tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, dusk at the latest. I’ll be here, I promise. So will Dama, and she’ll likely be bringing gifts or toys. If you want more advice on keeping a stable Pack, make sure to ask her tomorrow, alright? Sadie isn’t wrong, but us Wolves... we’re far more aggressive and domineering than any Dogkin."
A third and final kiss reassured before she left, departing with that kiss for and one for our daughter before heading out from the compound and getting back on the road to the city, leaving us for the ti being.
Being reminded that I would likely never be able to have all of my children’s parents with here at ho all the ti was a bit saddening, yet it made determined to cherish every mont we had instead of being lancholic over what had been.
Heading back inside and joining everyone for a large, celebratory dinner, there was a lot to discuss with everyone about the imdiate future, because with such a large amount of people currently here and more on the way it was clear we needed to set realistic priorities...
That hurt to admit since I wanted everyone here to be equally loved, but with how everything was turning out to be that was extrely unlikely, so I decided to just be up front about it and hope soone else could co up with a solution.
The best I had was to try and set a schedule for at least the upcoming week that we should try and stick to, which would give everyone purpose in the short term and an understanding of where everyone was going to be.
It would help as well since I could tell what was going on with who, but if there wasn’t enough effort coming out of everyone else then there was a good chance that we would feel even more lost than we were now.
With so many people doing so many different things, I just... wasn’t certain on how to manage everything, though that was where the benefits of having so many people ca into play, and it was also where I was beginning to have more and more desire to uproot and get the appropriate amount of space for a family this size.
At the very least I think I might need to acquire a few more of the plots around here just to be safe, but that would need more money which would an more work... because I didn’t want to ask Renna for sothing that substantial, though she was likely to offer it anyways because that was just who she was.

Alright, I have two ideas on how to handle structure going forwards but want so input on which one sounds better as a reader:
There’s the first which is to continue the way things have been going with switches between PoV’s of quite a few characters every ten or so Chapters, giving highlights of what they’re doing whilst the ’main plot’ is crawling forwards.
That’s technically more of the sa and ans that sothing like the journey that Rhefia and Aethisia took could happen again, where it stretches that arc out by an additional 10-25 Chapters or whatever because of everyone else.
It is more flushed out but that also ans that it takes longer irl to finish since... well, we’re on an (almost) one Chapter a day schedule, so what should take 10 Chapters/days ends up taking 25-30 Chapters/days.
The other idea is that I can hard stick to Astra’s PoV for as much as humanly possible while only switching here or there for half Chapters of anyone’s PoV unless I deem it ’necessary’, which would push the plot forwards a lot faster but would an so characters get legit no ti at all...
Which again is technically just more of the sa since Kalia hasn’t had a Chapter for a little while, Sari has been ntioned here or there and without the previous Chapter we hadn’t seen Prix/Yiks in forever.
But now if Astra doesn’t do anything with them that ans likely no Chapters of them whatsoever, so so characters might just start to actually fade into ’irrelevancy’, which I don’t want but is likely sothing that I ’need’.
Like so people have said and like everyone has noticed, the actual plot is abysmally slow, but then again this is smut with a dash of plot anyways that sohow made it to 1200 Chapters lmao~!
Anyways yeah, leave a suggestion and let know what sounds better, because believe it or not there is a goal here in the imdiate future, I just didn’t know if I should swap on over to Kalia soon for so Inik action or if we should move forwards with everything regarding our mysterious ’friend’.
