"What did you come up with?" Aurora asked.
Luna continued, "Since we couldn't directly interfere and our indirect interference would have too little effect, we decided that the only way to combat their superior numbers was… by increasing our own."
When she mentioned that last part, Aurora suddenly became slightly red, and when Ivar noticed her current state, he started grinning, "Increasing our numbers, eh? Sure, we can help with that. In fact, I'm sure we'll immensely enjoy the experience."
Aurora grew even redder and started kicking Ivar's shin, "Damit, you horny brute! Be serious for once, and keep it to yourself! We both know she didn't mean it that way! Probably…"
Ivar chuckled, "Come now, Aurora. We don't know for sure that's not what she meant. Are you perhaps nervous? Do you want me to start? And do you mind if those two watch? Personally, I think it would be hot, but I'm sure they'd be willing to give us some privacy if you prefer."
By now, steam was coming off Aurora's head as she crouched down and grabbed her head while attempting to banish these evil thoughts from her mind.
While therian society was very open about sex, the vampyrs were much less so. The only reason Aurora was still taking it relatively well was the large amount of time she had spent with Ivar and other therians.
Luna looked very confused about what was happening; it seemed Luna was a little dense in these matters. Luckily, her sister had the answer. Selene sported an evil grin as she skipped closer to Luna and whispered something in her ear.
When she was done, Luna had gained a small blush and released a slight cough to get rid of some of the awkwardness, "T- That's certainly not what I meant."
Aurora, who was on the verge of tears because of Ivar's teasing, released a sigh of relief and started glaring at her fiance.
Ivar shrugged while grinning, "Oh well."
Luna coughed again to regain the focus on her and continued explaining, "While that would be one method to increase population, it is not fast enough in the short term.
Instead, my sister and I have spent the last two hundred years inspecting those portals to learn how they work while we gather power so that we may open our own portals to other planets and bring reinforcements to Máni."
Having recovered from her ordeal, Aurora asked in shock, "Wait, there are even more planets out there? There are still debates about whether the Qhanrid are actually from another planet or not, and now it turns out they are not just from another planet, but there are more of them out there?! What planet would we even go to, and why would they help us?"
Luna nodded; it seemed that, with her calmer temperament, Luna had taken the role of explaining everything while Selene was just sort of bouncing around, clearly excited about their plans coming to fruition.
Luna continued, "Although our knowledge on this subject is relatively minimal aswell, we do know there are at least two more planets out there, and with the Qhanrid planet, that makes three.
Our basic plan involves me binding myself to you, Aurora, and my sister to bind herself to you, Ivar. Afterwards, we split up, with each pair going to one planet."
She shrugged, "As for how we gain their cooperation… that should depend on what exactly we find on those planets. Either diplomacy or conquest would work, so long as they march to our aid, the methods are inconsequential."
Ivar frowned, "If you know so little about these planets, how do you know they even exist?"
Luna and Selene seemed a little hesitant until it was Selene who shrugged and said, "We just sort of do."
Ivar rolled his eyes at that response, "Yeah, I'm going to need a little more before I go anywhere."
Luna answered, "She's not lying; all we know is the locations of these planets and… well, that the therians and vampyrs were originally from one of these two."
This news shocked even Ivar, who usually remained relatively indifferent to most things that didn't concern him directly; meanwhile, Aurora yelled in response, "What do you mean where we are originally from?! Máni is our homeworld!"
Luna shook her head, "Only for the last 3000 years or so. Before that, your species lived on another planet until, one day, for reasons neither Selene nor I are aware of, two goddesses from that planet transported all therians and vampyrs here, including a good amount of humans, who you then enslaved.
Those goddesses were the original Luna and Selene, who somehow died during that time, after which we were reborn in their image for unknown reasons.
Honestly, we are pretty much in the dark about all this aswell; what we've told you is basically all we know, based on random memory fragments that probably belonged to the original Selene and Luna."
Ivar raised an eyebrow, "Okay, that is all pretty weird, but sure, let's say we believe you for now. What about the other planet, though? If one of them is our original home world, then what is the other one?"
Luna shook her head, "Another mystery. It changes little about the plan, though, as we don't know which is the homeworld and which is the mystery world. Which planet each group ends up with is entirely up to chance."
Selene then spoke up, still excited and rearing to go, "Alright! I think that's all the boring stuff; let's get going!"
Aurora quickly waved her hands, "Wait, wait, wait! You haven't actually told us why you picked the two of us? Surely emperor-level beings like our parents would be of more help?"
Ivar also spoke up in a somewhat suspicious tone, "I'd also like to know exactly what this bonding entails?"
Ignoring her sister's heavy sigh, Luna explained, "Those questions actually have a somewhat related answer. You see, the Fenrir and Dracul families are the only ones still carrying some of your respective species' progenitors' lineage.
Usually, this lineage remains inactive, but with our help, the two of you activated this lineage at birth, and after the bonding, which will bind us together on a fundamental level, we can help you unlock that lineage's full potential.
We decided that potential was better than current power for our goals since it would likely be a while before we actually rallied any allies for Máni. And with your lineages activated, the two of you should be able to outgrow your parents without much difficulty."
Aurora looked thoughtful at this news, while Ivar looked excited at the idea of finally being able to beat up his father.
Aurora asked, "Can you tell us more about these progenitors?"
But Luna shook her head, "Not really; we only know they died at the same time as the original Selene and Luna and that all the current vampyr bloodlines and therian transformations originate from those progenitors, so, theoretically, with our help, you two should be able to access all your respective species abilities, in time."
Selene impatiently asked, "So, was that all? Can we finally leave?"
Aurora looked a little uncertain and glanced at Ivar, "Uhm, I suppose we won't be able to see each other for a while?"
Luna nodded, "We're not sure how long it will take to gather enough power to teleport again."
Aurora looked at Ivar nervously and seemed to want to say something, but Ivar grinned, grabbed her by the neck and pressed his lips against hers hard when she had just opened her mouth to start speaking.
Initially surprised, his victim quickly recovered and let him in while forgetting what she wanted to say. Perhaps such things were better said with actions than with words anyway.
Ivar's tongue skillfully invaded her mouth and started exploring it in search of hidden treasure. For Aurora, this was her first kiss, and despite her earlier thoughts about at least attempting to subjugate Ivar, she quickly found herself lost in his rhythm.
She moaned in pleasure at his ministrations as he kneaded her ass with one hand while holding her neck with the other and shoving her body against his.
Now entirely at his mercy, Aurora could only enjoy the kiss until he finally let her go, but not before whispering in her ear, "We may not have finished the marriage ceremony, and I may not have truly claimed you yet, but you are mine, now and forever. Remember that."
After what just happened, Aurora could only meekly nod at his words. Meanwhile, Luna had turned her head away while Selene looked at the display with unmistakable glee.
Before they left, however, Aurora seemed to recover a little as she asked him, somewhat timidly and with a red face, "I supposed it would be useless to ask you to stay away from the women on whatever planet you end up."
It was not a question, not really, but Ivar grinned and answered anyway, "Of course it would be."
This statement caused Aurora to snort and look away, but Ivar quickly grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his sharp, amber-coloured eyes.
"Remember. You. Are. Mine. Any man so much as touches you, and I will kill them, somehow, sometime. If you lose your virginity to anyone but me, you can only ever become my concubine, and even that depends on how you lost it. Regardless of my love for you."
He turned around, leaving a flustered Aurora as he walked up to Selene and said, "Let's go!"
Selene grinned in response and yelled, "Fuck yeah!" She then grabbed him by the collar and planted a kiss on his lips before they both disappeared in a flash of light.
Only after they disappeared did Aurora recover and mumble, "L- Love me?"
