Oh I was so excited to write and post this chapter. It is important because this is the beginning for more plot to unravel.

I can't wait to write more I hope you all are also excited. *Little happy dance**

Oh this is what heaven is.

Definitely.

I have no idea how Kaieke found that one spot behind my ears that leave my legs weak, but holy macaroni am I glad he did. I couldn't stop my long tongue from rolling out of my snout. Kaieke chuckled and scratched harder. A deep cat-like purr (here we go with the cat comparisons again) rumbled from my chest and vibrated through my body.

I knew Varf was somewhere on the porch of the house, but I couldn't care less. I pressed the top of my head againts his chest to give the alien more access. A soft amused huff puffed from Kaieke's lips, but he didn't stop.

"Have you ever thought of brushing her fur?" Varf asked thoughtfully. My dumb alien friend hummed whilts switching the direction of his scratching. "It would be beneficial to help with bonding."

Kaieke stopped his movements, but started again when I whined. "We have bonded quite well, but I am sure Annebelle would appreciate it." Yes please sir alien. "But there is something I want to try."

Varf made a confused noise from the porch. "Annebelle?"

"Yes. It is a strange name, but it is the first thing that popped into my head when she stared at me yesterday." Kaieke rubbed his hands down the back of my neck. "It was awfully weird though. She obeyed my command to sit after I used her name."

I could feel Varf's shock and wide eyes from here. "Is there a chance that she regocnized that you named her most likely due to affection?"

"It is a possibility. It could be that their spieces as a whole refere to each other diffirently."

"I wonder what she named you. Master? Alpha?" Varf asked and I couldn't help but snort. We don't work on Alpha-Beta-Omega dinamics. We work collectively as a group to make decisions.

Kaieke snorted and laughed quietly. My sensitive ears picked up Varf's hard swallow. "I doubt that. I think she would refere to me as either 'tall green feeder' or 'annoying creature'." He knows me better than I thought.

Varf laughed loudly behind me and now it was Kaieke's turn to swallow hard. Pour aliens. 'Smart, strong observant' Kymari can suck on my tail. These two are so obvious it isn't even funny. How they are not courting yet is beyond me. Stupid alien.

Varf broke off into giggles before he settled his laughter. "So what is it you wanted to try?" Kaieke perked since it seems that his crush has distracted him from his original goal.

"Would you please bring the satchel to your left to the ring?" Kaieke asked as he lightly nudged my head away from leaning on him. I blinked slowly at him, before huffing heavily in his face. He playfully narrowed his eyes at me, before clicking his tongue and pointing towards the ring.

I hesitated, but quickly made up my mind and trotted over to the ring. I wonder what we were going to do today. I am not going to lie about being curios. Kaieke opened the gate an stepped in after me. Varf handed him a medium sized satchel before closing the gate.

I stared intently at the satchel as Kaieke fumbled with the lock and slipped it open. He reached in and pulled out a...harness? No it looked like a bunch of black, flat rope stuck together. I perked my ears as Kaieke walked closer to me and held up the thing for me to inspect. I sniffed at it and then licked it. It tasted like rubber.

I grimaced and pulled away from it. Ok so it was not a chew toy. I would've appreciated one. but oh well. Kaieke only raised an amused frill at me and fumbled with nearly invisible clasps on the thing. It clicked open and spilt in half. I perked my ears when he spread it open and lifted it over my head.

I froze when he slipped my left ear through the hole and clicked the clasps on the other side. My ears pulled back and flat against my head. Kaieke stepped to my right and had to move my ear to finish with the last claps. Lastly he adjusted the part running along my neck to rest in front of my shoulder. He stepped back and studied me.

The thing he put on me was like a halter. It looped around my ears and between them. The middle strap stopped at the back of my head where it split off and attached to a looser part that rested on my shoulders. It was all held together by a strap and metal ring that sat snuggly against my jaw.

I wildly flicked my ears and found that there was more than enough room for them. I opened my snout as wide as I could and found that it wasn't hindered by the strap on my jaw. In fact, the material it was made of was stretchy and easily followed my movements. It was also really light. I probably wouldn't have noticed it was there if I didn't see Kaieke put it on.

Said alien looked the halter over, before he nodded and started to run his hands along my neck and shoulder. He started putting pressure on the space behind my wither and the dip in my back. It didn't bother me much, but it was strange, he never did that before.

Kaieke seemed to realize that it didn't rise a reaction out of me and breathed out hard. I could feel Varf's intense stare and it did not help with my confusion. The alien breathed out hard and steadied his hands.

He breathed in and did the one thing I did not expect.

He jumped.

*High pitch happy squeal.* The next chapter is also important plot-wise.

Stay safe ya'll <3
