*SHE BELONGS TO ME!!*
For the first time...
Young Aether's amusement disappeared as if something inside him snapped when he said that.
The chamber seemed to grow several degrees colder.
*Belongs to you?* he repeated quietly. *When?*
His palm slowly pressed against the transparent capsule.
The glass groaned.
Tiny fractures spread beneath his hand like frozen spiderwebs before emergency nanofibers immediately began repairing them.
*Don't delude yourself, bitch.*
His voice carried no anger.
Only absolute certainty.
*She's mine. She belongs to me... The one and only Aether. Got that, asshole? The next time I hear you claim ownership over her...* He paused, staring directly into Kai's trembling eyes through the cracked glass.
*... That'll be the last day you ever see your beloved's pussy!*
Kai instinctively felt fear clawing at his chest.
Real fear!
His body knew.
His instincts screamed.
