Chapter 168: Someone Is Bolder

As soon as Janine left, Keyla turned to me and asked. "So what's the plan with blueberry Apollo? Is she to be eaten or converted?" I looked back at Keyla calmly, I had expected this from at least 1 cultist.

"No, I plan on letting Janine work for Sophia as a hired combatant. She genuinely is my friend, so I don't plan on converting her unless her life is in danger, understood?"

Keyla proceeded to stand up straight and saluted me. "Sir, yes, sir!" I smiled at her little antic, before asking. "So, where is Samantha then?" Keyla smiled and then responded. "Sammy is in Mothers booth, she has been using it as her office space temporarily as the quiet helps control her hive link."

"What is wrong with her hive link?" I ask to confirm my suspicion. "Oh Sammy is just used to her sub link with mother that she is not used to the silence and isolation of her new link and will occasionally attempt to reach out with it unconsciously."

I nodded my head as I was right. "Yeah, that makes sense, she has yet to come in contact with Jewel and the hive at large, She is looking for her purpose as it was not officially assigned to her, I can help with that." I say as I make my way over to the booth.

Inside Samantha was currently filling out forms and documents with uncanny speed. Her metamorphosis into a Bio cult infiltrator has allowed her mind to think at speeds that made her scoff at her old pace. It was then that she suddenly began sniffing the air. 'Is that?'

As she turned towards the door, I entered and widened my eyes. Samantha looked slightly different from the last time I had seen her. Her eyes had changed from brown to blue and her lips became a little fuller, but the main difference was her body.

No longer was she covered In tan chitin plates and hard exposed skin and instead she wore a blue dress with a low cut that allowed visual stimulus upon her new soft radiant skin.

As Samantha stared at Apollo, she began to feel a deep rooted desire engulf her entire existence. She had felt it before as a cultist, but it was so much weaker to what it was now. The love she felt for the existence in front of her... It was close to causing pain there was so much.

She felt this almost uncontrollable urge to be her with mate now and entangle with him for eternity. As she was about to let her instincts take over, A being made itself present in the room. "Careful kin, If you don't hone those instincts I will be forced to put you down in the defence of my beloved." Onyx warned.

Seeing her Idol, Samantha's lust was replaced with her fanaticism towards Onyx. Even though she had gone through a full conversion, the fact she was a bio-cult infiltrator meant she retained a lot of her quirks from being once human.

I watched on as Samantha began to look back and forth between myself and Onyx, confused on how to move going forward.

Luckily for us, an extrovert had followed me here. "Hey Sam-Sam, how's your day been?" Keyla asked as she looked at her friends confused face.

Samantha seemed to snap back to her old self upon hearing Keyla and said. "It's Samantha, stop it. My day has been fine, but much better now that Daddy is back." She proceeded to look me up and down while biting her lip.

Now the awkwardness was gone, I made my way further into the room and sat down next to where Samantha had been sitting.

"Hey Samantha, you don't have to call be that anymore, you are a hive bio-form now and by that extent are my wife." I said and patted the seat next to me. Samantha wasted no time and sat down while placing her hand under my shirt and onto my chest.

"I know I don't have to anymore, but I still want to call you 'Daddy.' Is that ok with you?" She purred into my ear.

Now I am not sure if it was using Jewel's tentacle as her biomass catalyst or she had always been this way deep down, but Samantha was definitely more bold now then before.

As I was about to start a little harmless flirting, Onyx sat down to my right and began stroking the side of my face with her clawed hand. "My universe, let us not get side-tracked, we must make the preparations for your friend." She reminded me.

"Oh right." I said with a smile and turned to Samantha. However, once again before I could speak, another form interrupted me by jumping onto my lap and resting her head on my chest.

"What? If they get to feel you up, I am claiming equal dibs." Keyla said as she looked up grinning. Her grin was infectious as I smiled back and began stroking her head as I spoke." Right, so I have brought back a Sepiidan woman-" "Who is gay!" Keyla added for clarification. "-Yes who is gay and also a dear friend of mine. When Sophia gets back, I will ask her to employ her.

For now though, I just want to make sure no one tries to convert her or anything or use poison in her drinks ok?"

Samantha's eyes darted back and forth between her mates, she was fine with everything that had been said, why wouldn't she? However, a looming thought had broken through and escaped her lips. "Daddy can you taste my poison?"

…

Janine rode the elevator up in silence, She had never really been around others of her race and the males are genuinely looked down upon and treated as glorified slaves. So to see the one next to her smiling his horns off had her confused a little bit.

When the elevator door dinged open, Letho Spoke for the fist time. "Here we are Miss Janine, I hope this room will be to your liking."

Janine's eyes opened in shock at the 'room' she had been given. It was an entire apartment. For a woman who has spent most of her life living in her cramped quarters, she did not know what to do with all this space.

"Are you sure Apollo meant for me to have this room? isn't it too fancy?" Janine said with uncomfortableness all over her face. Letho turned to Janine with confusion in his eyes. "Apollo is more important than you realise kin, if you are his friend, you deserve a lot more than some apartment, you deserve this galaxy for yourself by making him happy."

Letho's passion and honesty in his words made Janine gulp. She thought maybe the male before her was just saying that because he had to so she pressed for information.

"Tell me, Letho was it?" With a nod." Yes ma'am." He responded. " Are you saying that because you are a servant here? Are you being forced to do so?" Letho looked at her for a moment and began to laugh at her. Janine was shocked as biological rage from her ancestry built within her.

She may have spent little time among the Sepiida, but she knew this, The males do not disrespect the females under any circumstances. To laugh at them the way this one just did is uncanny.

The part of Letho that was his human-Sepiidan hybrid genes woke up after realising what he had done, but instead of becoming fearful, he just returned to a calm state thanks to his parasite.

"Forgive my laughing Miss, but understand this. I am here of my own free will and by my own choices. Due to that, I am among equals with all the other male humans here despite my genealogy.

I choose to serve Apollo and Lady Sophia because they have become my reason to live, not because I am being forced." Letho said, not realising his parasite was feeding him pleasant hormones and chemicals for saying those things.

Janine was shocked to a stupor and stayed quiet for a moment before Letho spoke again. "Forgive me for giving you a culture clash, outside of this place you would be a mistress and I would serve through fear and genetics, not here though. I will still serve, but it is my own choice to be of use to you. Now is there anything you need? Or shall I take my leave?"

Janine blinked hard and shook her head to help her come to. "No, you can go Letho and thank you for the explanations and I am sorry if I was coming across as your better." S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was then Letho's turn to be shocked. 'A female telling a male she is sorry? It is thanks to outer family I have lived to see this day.'

As Letho bowed and headed to the elevator he chimed up once more time. "Oh and miss Janine." He said causing Janine to turn her attention back to him. "I am sorry about your horns, that must have been excruciatingly painful." He said and then entered the elevator.

Janine was touched by the last part as only another Sepiidan would know the pain of losing their horns. Still, she brushed that aside and began looking around the apartment as there was quite a bit to explore.
