One night you were drunk, sitting outside the bar and smoking to sober up. A street vendor crept over. Timidly, lowering his voice. "Miss, you look totally stressed out. Need to let it all out? I've got a stress-relief war beast. Painter type. Good for unwinding."

You looked towards the vendor blowing the smoke with your hand. "What?" the dealer glanced around nervously, then waved toward the shadows. A black panther beast-man stepped into the light, tall, broad shouldered.

He stepped forward, the vendor yanked the rough suppression collar and dragged him to his knees. He unclipped a inhibitor muzzle and slapped him across the face. Bronze skin, sharp features, covered in bruises and wounds.

"Look at that face, miss. Wouldn't it feel good to relieve some stress?" Your doctor had actually told you that your stress hormones were out of control and genuinely needed an outlet.

But you already had a white leopard at home. However, ever since your parents gifted him to you, he had gotten used to your younger sister. So it was hard for him to accept you as his owner, like you, let you touch him, yet, he would still mind if you brought someone else.

The vendor kicked the panther. "Get up. Show her your built." he stood slowly, chains coiled around him. He only used one hand to take off his shirt. "High stamina, heals fast."

"Two thousand for two hours of release. You can do whatever you want. Just don't slit his throat and drain his blood and he'll recover." You stood up, a little unsteady from the alcohol.

"How much to buy him outright?"

"Not cheap. He's our best."

"Name your price"

"Fifty grand." you paused. Your parents had spent millions on your premium S-class white leopard gift, this one was practically free by comparison. Before leaving the vendor warned you. "Don't remove the inhibitor muzzle until he's fully tamed."

When you got back home and more so, when Ash found out about your new beast, as much as his ego wouldn't allow him, he obviously wasn't happy about it.

Which you didn't fully understand because he's always stayed with your younger sister. Turned out, he only wanted him when you were taking care of everything else around his expenses and she just got to use him.

Now, when he came back begging to let him come back, stood the question, do you accept him back. And if you do, how would they get along with Eli.
