Elara’s POV
"Chamber Seven, Silas: Spirit collapse level decreased by 1 point..."
"Dr. Pendragon, you’re quite the smooth talker - lying without even a hint of red on those cheeks," I maintained my commanding position.
Fine, if he wants this charade, I’ll give him exactly what he’s asking for.
"Chamber Seven, Silas: Spirit collapse level decreased by 1 point..."
"The system just announced it." Silas abandoned his sweet facade instantly, desperate to convince of the truth.
I grinned. "Dr. Pendragon, finished with your little act?"
Silas went quiet.
"Chamber Seven, Silas: Spirit collapse level decreased by 1 point..."
"I wasn’t acting. Making my mate happy is what any beast husband should do. Elara, I belong to you."
"You don’t-"
My words cut short as a sharp snap echoed through the room. The vines restraining Silas broke apart entirely.
Panic hit like a wall.
Seriously? He’s done ssing around? Am I about to get completely outmaneuvered? I just exhausted myself with Water Weave and have zero fight left against this rabbit.
Is it too late to retreat?
We were just having fun - he can’t simply break free like that!
"Silas, are you throwing a tantrum?" I demanded.
"Absolutely." He cocked his head with a smile, clearly irritated.
Before I could react, he swept into his embrace and down onto the bed. I glanced up only to find myself gently pushed back down.
"Release ," I ordered.
Silas bent closer with a wicked grin. "Elara, you cared way too much. That’s exactly how you walked straight into my snare."
I bristled, "You knew that and still pulled this stunt? You ruthless-mmph!"
Silas was seething. The rabbit retaliated this ti. I went rigid, then caught the sound of a belt being undone. My blood turned to ice.
Oh hell. Why did I ever assu this insane lop-eared rabbit was just ssing around?
Strange atmosphere...
Scream! This is your chance to get away.
I cursed silently. This wasn’t the mont for that system!
I was cornered and just wanted to escape.
But Silas’s husky voice reached from behind. "Behave. Stay still."
He hadn’t intended to frighten - his clothing was just restricting and he needed to breathe easier. It was his mistake for alarming .
Silas embraced carefully, mindful of my still-nding injuries.
He murmured that his mate slled incredible, noticing the subtle dicinal fragrance and realizing I had really recovered.
Silas settled, his breathing slowing, and nuzzled my back with satisfaction.
"Chamber Seven, Silas: Spirit collapse level decreased by 1 point...
"Chamber Seven, Silas: Spirit collapse level decreased by 1 point...
"Chamber Seven, Silas: Spirit collapse level decreased by 1 point..."

Kaelen’s POV
I cocked my head, my mind racing with confusion.
What the hell is happening? Chamber Seven should be in complete chaos! The barrier remains active - is the control system malfunctioning?
Julian pressed his lips into a thin line.
"My mate is here. I can detect the woody fragrance of her abilities... and sothing else."
Dorian’s tail twitched.
"That recognizable scent... Is Elara in there?"
Barrett gnawed on the railing once more.
"A rampage? Then why are the levels dropping so consistently?"
Finnian’s smile was barely perceptible.
"I wasn’t mistaken earlier. The sudden quiet ans Silas’s Sovereign Territory is functioning."
Alistair rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"That petty rabbit. With his levels plumting this rapidly, he’s clearly gotten exactly what he was after. His tantrum should be over by now."
"Silas is the first person in the Valerion Empire to make himself so furious his spirit nearly shattered."

Elara’s POV
Inside Chamber Seven, Silas kept close, retrieved my phone, and scrolled through until he located an ancient system matching notification buried in the ssage history.
It displayed both his and Finnian’s complete registration information.
Silas released and thrust the screen forward. "See this."
"Where did you unearth that?"
"Your phone."
"My phone is constantly flooded with ssages..."
"So... do I belong to you?"
I swallowed nervously.
Can I refuse? The evidence is staring in the face. But when did this arrive? Why haven’t I ever noticed it?
"Yes," I admitted.
Why don’t you hit him if you’re this frustrated?
This is just entertainnt. Don’t you understand?
More like when you’re at his rcy, you must comply. A fierce woman subdued and tornted by a rabbit.
Silas bead and tousled my hair, his laughter warm and content. "Good girl. Don’t anger again, alright?"
"Alright." I nodded.
Silas’s eyes sparkled with delight. He fastened a tiny rabbit-shaped necklace around my throat. "A present."
If I had studied his expression, I would’ve caught the cunning, satisfied smirk playing on his lips.
But I was too concentrated on escaping to pay attention.
Once the necklace was secured, he released naturally. I bolted from the bed and fled imdiately - no second opportunities granted. He was already agitated. If I didn’t run, did I want to be completely consud?
