“Thanks.” Kael accepted the petals with solemn care.

Silas studied him for a moment before speaking. “We can’t kill a high–tier Chitinid on the Central Planet. The Celestara Gala is almost here–we cannot risk a single accident. We must eliminate Dahlia before then.

“Tomorrow I’ll have Emmy find an excuse to invite her out. When that happens, you’ll look for an opportunity to challenge Marcus. Use that as leverage to bring Dahlia to the Pantheon Battlefield. We’ll finish her there.”

Kael frowned, worried. “Won’t that alert her? I doubt Dahlia is the only Chitinid on the Central Planet. Shouldn’t we drag the others out first and then deal with her?”

He feared that once Dahlia died, the remaining Chitinid would scatter and hide, making them even harder to capture.

gone, the Silas shook his head. “Cut off the head, and the body will follow. Once Dahlia is others won’t make any moves for a while. We can eradicate them one by one later.”

Before now, they hadn’t dared attack Dahlia because no one knew where she came from. But now that they knew she was Chitinid, killing her was no issue at all. Killing a Chitinid female carried no consequences.

At the castle, Emma had just returned when Silas‘ message came through.

Seeing the photo of Remy sitting safely in his palm, she exhaled in relief. As long as he was unharmed, she didn’t care about anything else. But that little troublemaker had crossed the line–running off on his own like that.

She knew Silas would discipline Remy this time, and she had no intention of stopping him. Hopefully, a spanking from his birth father would be enough to make Remy remember this lesson.

Then, another message arrived–Silas asking her to arrange a meeting with Dahlia the next day.

“Silas wants Marcus and Kael to fight, then use that chaos to lead Dahlia to the Pantheon Battlefield,” Emma explained to the males around her.

“He wants me to fight that birdman?!” Marcus looked offended. “His level was artificially

boosted. Fighting him is an insult to me.”

Couldn’t Silas have picked someone else?

Marcus‘ gaze shifted to Malrik.

“Don’t look at me,” Malrik huffed. “I’m a gentle therian. One look, and you can tell I don’t duel.”

Silas‘ instincts had been dead–on–Marcus was the only suitable choice among

them.

Marcus rolled his eyes. “Speak for yourself.”

“That’s not the point. The point is–look at this face. Does this look like someone who goes around fighting?”

Malrik’s face was too alluring, made only to seduce. Imagining him in a fistfight felt fundamentally wrong. And yet this very man spent most of his time outside the Empire fighting Chitinid and stray therians.

“Marcus.” Emma walked over, took his hand, and looked up at him earnestly. “Do it for me, please? Just bicker with Kael tomorrow. You don’t need to fight him. We just need Dahlia to take the bait and head to the Pantheon Battlefield.”

“Fine…” Marcus agreed eventually, especially when Emma personally asked him. He dipped his head and brushed his cheek against hers, whispering in her ear, “If I behave, Ms. Tibarn… can you pet me again?”

It felt so good. He’d been dreaming about it these past few nights–dreaming of the touch had melted him.

way her

“No problem,” she replied without hesitation. If he wanted it, she was more than happy to.

The other men all turned toward Marcus. His voice had been soft, but Lucien, Calum, Malrik, and Drake all heard exactly what he said.

Pet? What’s that? The look on Marcus‘ face says that he loves it.

Corvin also noticed Marcus whisper something to Emma, though his level wasn’t high enough

to hear it.

He leaned toward Edric and whispered, “Did you hear what Marcus said to Emma?”

Edric shook his head. “My level’s too low.”

“Aren’t you curious?” Corvin asked.
