I paced back and forth in my lavish bedroom once again, my mind racing. The image of that feral panther was seared into my brain, its wild eyes and foaming mouth a haunting reminder of what could become of me if I didn't turn out the way Mila had... hoped.

Or at least, that was what I assumed. It was more a feeling than anything; but I could sense it, somehow, when the panther looked into my eyes. It didn't look quite as feral and thoughtless as I suspected.

But rather, it looked as if it was warning me.

"This could be you," its eyes had seemed to say. "Tread carefully."

Even thinking about it now, hours later, I couldn't help but shudder. The ceremony was tomorrow, and Mila kept telling me that it was almost over.

But if I didn't provide her with the dragon-blooded baby she wanted, would I wind up in one of those cages?

I was in the middle of my reverie when the door creaked open and Mila walked in, wearing her signature green silk gown. She really was beautiful, tall and slender with soft, pale skin. It was her eyes, though, that always unsettled me just a little bit.

Those yellow slits.

"Yeah. I know," I said as I ran a hand through my hair. "Speaking of which..."
