Aekeira drew him back into her embrace , her voice filled with remorse .
Dont apologize for that .
You have nothing to apologize for .
The beast has hurt both of us .
Hes mindless and doesnt even take a human form .

GRAND LORD VLADYA Grand Lord Vladya stood in his study , a lone figure outlined against the moonlit window .
His gaze sweps across the training grounds , where the obsidian sky met the jagged peaks of the distant mountains .
He had nearly lost himself that evening .
Long after the court session ended , he remained in the back room , locked in a baule against his savage instincts .
The only reason he made it was Ottai , that stubborn male , refused to let him do otherwise .
As Vladyas form began to warp and shift , Ottai had partially shifted , restraining him with surprising strength .
Vladya had raked him with his claws , leaving deep furrows in Ottais flesh , but the male wouldnt give up , filling the air with stories of Tiara and Daemonikai , and how they would not have wanted th Vladya had been consumed by rage , but it was not Tiaras memory that pulled him back from the brink .
It was another face that flashed before his eyes .
