The temple's air had changed.
It hung heavier, drenched in musk and magic, thick with the unspoken tension between lovers, rivals, and the woman who bound them all together like silk around a blade.
Aiko stood beneath the cracked archway of the sanctuary, night wind licking her skin through the torn folds of her uniform. She no longer looked like a girl plucked from a sterile school—she was the center of a growing storm. The Breedbound Heroine.
Lunaria lay curled on the silken furs Aiko had claimed as her bed. Her pale skin glowed in the moonlight, flushed from worship. Aiko had broken her the night before. Beautifully. Brutally. Lovingly.
And now she slept with a smile.
But Kael wasn't smiling.
He leaned against a pillar, arms crossed, dark eyes never leaving Aiko. He'd watched it all—the taming, the surrender, the afterglow. And something in him had cracked.
He'd wanted to be her first.
And now? He didn't know what he wanted more:
To touch her…
Or to make her beg for him.

Aiko hissed as the heat returned.
It always started low—between her legs, rising like fever up her spine, making her breath quicken and her nipples ache. Her thighs pressed together instinctively. The Breedbound System was relentless, insatiable.
And worse—it liked when her lovers clashed.
She turned toward Kael, voice husky. "You're angry."
"I'm watching," he said.
"Jealous?"
He pushed off the pillar and stalked toward her, predatory grace in every step. "You think you've tamed us all?"
She arched a brow. "You want me to try?"
Before she could react, Kael had her pinned against the wall, forearm braced beside her head, breath hot against her neck.
"You're playing a dangerous game, Aiko."
She tilted her head, baring her throat. "Then play harder."
Kael kissed her.
Rough.
Possessive.
Nothing like Lunaria's desperate submission. This was a war of tongues, teeth, dominance clashing with dominance.
Aiko moaned.
The wall was cold. His hands were not.
He palmed her breast through the thin fabric, rolling her nipple between calloused fingers until she gasped. Her leg wrapped around his waist instinctively, pulling him closer.
"You're not the only one who can take control," he growled.
"Then take it," she dared.
Kael's hands slid down, gripping her thighs. He lifted her easily, pressing her against the stone as his mouth claimed every inch of skin he could find. His tongue was molten, his fingers cruel, his pace relentless.
And she loved it.
She bit his shoulder.
He grunted—then retaliated by sliding a hand between her thighs.
Her gasp turned into a cry.

Aiko came apart in his arms.
Shuddering. Clawing. Whispering his name like a prayer she barely believed in.
When he set her down, she leaned against him, dizzy from pleasure and power.
But Lunaria was awake.
And watching.
"Jealous?" Aiko whispered to her over Kael's shoulder.
The Secondborn smiled. "Starving."
Lunaria sauntered forward, naked but proud, her skin still marked by Aiko's bite.
"You didn't think I'd let him have you all to himself, did you?"
Aiko's eyes widened.
Kael turned.
Lunaria kissed him.
And Aiko felt it.
Through the system.
A spike of pleasure—not her own.

"Fine," Aiko said, stepping back, breathless. "Then let's burn this place together."
She dropped her cloak.
Stood naked before them both.
"Both of you. Now."
Kael hesitated—then smirked.
Lunaria moaned.
And the Breedbound Heroine took her throne.
Naked.
Dripping with power.
Her lovers knelt at her feet.
And under the stars of Virelia, three bodies collided in a ritual of sin, dominance, and something darker—something almost tender.
Because for the first time… Aiko wasn't just taking power.
She was sharing it.
