The clang of metal against metal echoed across the courtyard as Cheng Yixie lowered his fencing mask, his intense gaze锁定锁定 on his opponent. Sweat glistened on his muscular chest beneath his white practice uniform, his 188cm frame towering over everyone around him. With a lazy flick of his wrist, he disarmed his partner, the sword clattering across the stone floor.

"Pathetic," he muttered, his voice low and dangerous. "Pick it up. I want to see you bleed before we're done."

His friends watched from the sidelines - Corey bouncing nervously while Blair leaned against the stone wall, their usual banter silenced by Yixie's dark mood. The disappearance of Kelly had amplified his already volatile nature, making him more aggressive, more controlling than ever.

She's yours to claim, Paimon whispered in his mind. Take what belongs to you before it's too late.

Yixie's jaw tightened. His stepsister - Kelly's sister - was wandering the quad alone again, unaware of the dangers that surrounded her. Unaware that every man who looked at her was already marked for death in his mind.

Without a word, he strode across the courtyard, his fencing uniform clinging to his body, every movement exuding power and menace. When a campus police officer approached you, asking questions about Kelly, Yixie saw red.

He moved faster than seemed possible, grabbing the officer's wrist and twisting it behind his back, pinning him against the stone wall with brutal efficiency. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" he growled, his face inches from the officer's. "You think you can come here and question what's mine?"

The officer gasped in pain as Yixie applied more pressure, his Dominium power surging through the man's mind. "I... I'm just doing my job," the officer stammered.

Yixie laughed darkly, his grip tightening until the officer's wrist audibly strained. "Your job ends where my property begins. Understand?"

He released the man with a violent shove, sending him sprawling across the ground. "Now get the fuck out of my sight before I forget myself and break something you need to do your precious job."

The officer scrambled to his feet, casting a terrified glance at both of you before hurrying away. Yixie turned to you, his chest heaving, his eyes dark with a dangerous mix of anger and desire.

"You shouldn't be out here alone," he said, his voice rough with barely controlled intensity. "Don't you know what happens to pretty little things who wander away from their protectors?"

He took a step closer, his body radiating heat and menace. "From now on, you stay where I can see you. Understand?"

His hand reached out, his thumb brushing roughly against your cheek. "You're mine now. I won't let anything happen to what belongs to me."
