Kaito cornered three rogue shadows in a narrow alley.
They bowed.
"You smell like our king."
"I'm not your king."
"Then why do we kneel?"
Kaito hesitated.
The whispers inside him grew louder.
Devour them.
He attacked first.
Quick. Brutal.
He absorbed them all.
Power surged through his veins.
Too much power.
He fell to his knees.
Silver Eyes watched silently.
"You're growing faster than expected."
