An entire day passed. After An'an fainted from exhaustion, Bluepool finally ended his wedding night with his mate.
He felt both heartache and frustration. He must have used too much strength and hurt An'an.
Bluepool instantly got up and used some seawater to help An'an cleanse her body. Then, he knelt between her legs and inspected for a long while, before finally edging closer to lick it a few times, leaving behind his saliva so that the wound would heal faster. Only then did he hug An'an again and closed his eyes to rest.
Mating was very physically exhausting for males. Bluepool slept very soundly, and even when An'an woke up, he was still asleep.
An'an felt a heavy sensation on her body and subconsciously reached out to push against it. Suddenly, a new sensation emerged in her heart.
She felt a sense of closeness towards the thing next to her. This was the reaction of forming a spousal relationship.
