I'm capable of becoming a housecat.
It's a pleasant magic, but it doesn't exactly make me a powerhouse in a world where werewolves and vampires abound. Instead, the supernatural community has classified me as an outcast, which means one thing: Picking on me is open season all day, every day.
I transform into my cat form and first encounter HIM during one of the usual "capture the cat-girl" excursions with the local fairies, who are the worst of all.
Noctus is so strong that my fae captives can hardly glance in his general direction because his magic shines off him like a sun. Then, when Noctus chooses to take me with him, my existence becomes even more frightening. like a pet.
Why did he decide to "adopt don't shop" for a cat today?
It gets worse when I realize he’s an elf, a ruling race of supernaturals that was supposedly killed off centuries ago.
However, he's not just any elf. He is an elf king who must keep a great deal of secrets. Secrets that I am quickly learning since he includes his new pet in everything from breaking into buildings to inspect classified paperwork to tracking down sketchy supernaturals.
This implies that I'm going to learn personally how elves treat their captives if he even the slightest inkling that I'm not a genuine cat.
The first aim is to get away from Noctus. How hard can it be? (Reply: quite.)
