#Stary Writing Academy IV #SummerUpdateProgram TRIGGER WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CONCEPT OF MULTIPLE MATES. Excerpt: "Do you know what you are asking of me, woman?" The hue of his hair eventually altered along with his eyes and hands after a period. Relina didn't experience any anxiety as she observed the spectacle in front of her. "I know and I don't intend to change my mind about what I stated. I've finally made up my mind. I wanted to be with Kei, and you can't do anything about it," Relina remarked firmly. "You are completely mistaken if you believe that since you changed into a beast or anything, I would run and hide," Relina continued. "Even if you rend me into bits, the reality remains that Kei is the one I want to be with, not you." Reiku's resounding slap landed on Relina's face, stopping her in her tracks before she could finish her sentence. Her body stumbled under the weight of all that strength, and she fell to the ground. The entire region was silent. Relina decided to stay put and avoid speaking at all because she was aware of what would happen next. She anticipated that would occur; therefore, her reaction to Reiku's treatment of her was not unexpected. "And do you believe I'm so foolish to allow you to be with any man you like?" "You might be overlooking the fact that it's you, not me, who wants me to have several mates." "Enough!" The four corners of the chamber resounded to Reiku's thunderous voice. Relina clutched her chest firmly, shocked. He resembled a vicious beast that was always prepared to kill any prey that wandered into his domain. She was overcome with fear as a result of Reiku's voice range. It appeared as though her soul had also left her body in addition to her bones. "I'd rather kill you with my own hands than allow others to take advantage of you. You don't know me well enough to be interested in learning more about who I truly am. So, If you want to stop your pain, simply say so, and I will kill you myself," Reiku stated forcefully. "If you wish to live, take this as a warning!"
