“That Black Mamba has a yellow jacket. It belongs to you, right?” Jaws brought this up out of nowhere. 

Nyx blinked in confusion. “What about it?” 

“I want one too,” Jaws shamelessly declared. “Something you’ve worn up close.” 

Before he could finish, Nyx clamped a hand over his mouth. She had never seen such a brazen male before. 

Her face burned. “Keep dreaming.” 

Jaws hadn’t actually expected much. He just wanted to tease her a little. 

He pressed a light kiss into her palm while she was covering his mouth, startling her into snatching her soft little hand away. 

“A jacket is fine too, as long as it’s something you’ve worn. If you don’t give me one, I might just steal one myself–and I’ll make sure to take my favorite,” Jaws said shamelessly. “Give me something to hold onto, and maybe I’ll bother you a little 

less.” 

With his mix of threats and coaxing, Nyx gave in. She shrugged off her button–up shirt, balled it up, and threw it at Jaws. 

He caught it neatly, folded it carefully, and kept it for himself, completely satisfied. 

“Do you want to go back to the Empire?” he suddenly asked. 

Nyx narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously. She wanted to go back. But not knowing what kind of trick Jaws was up to, she stayed silent. 

“How was your life in the Empire?” Jaws pressed on. “Did you choose to be with that royal tiger willingly? And was using Mental Soothing on all those strange males really something you wanted?” 

As he questioned her, he knelt down, tilting his head to study Nyx’s expression carefully, trying to see the truth. 

“I lived well in the Empire. I was with Aurelius because I liked him,” Nyx said coldly. “No one forced me to do Mental Soothing–except you.” 

Jaws choked. “I didn’t force you either.” 

Nyx didn’t look amused. She thought, ‘True, he hasn’t forced me, but didn’t he capture me to get me to do Mental Soothing?” 

After a long silence, Jaws let out a chuckle, shook his head, and left the room. 

Nyx flopped onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. Jaws‘ weird, out–of–nowhere questions echoed in her head. She had no idea what he was thinking. 

She rolled around on the bed a few times, and then suddenly heard a knock at the door. Sitting up quickly, she looked toward the entrance warily. 

Jaws never knocked lightly like that. The knocking continued for a moment before the door slowly creaked open. A head poked in, revealing a face that made Nyx stare in shock. 

“Meli?” asked Nyx. 

“Lord Nyx.” Meli greeted her softly, her eyes red. 

Nyx had mixed feelings toward Meli who had set her up. But remembering that Meli was pregnant, she waved her over and let her sit. “Why are you 

here?”

Meli bit her lip, looking like she was about to cry. 

That day, Richa had never planned to let her go. He said he’d release her, but secretly ordered his men to kill her on the way. 

A female falling into the hands of a group of space pirates was like a lamb thrown to wolves. Those disgusting males didn’t care that she was pregnant. Before killing her, they wanted to use her first 

Meli said, ‘Luckily, the boss saved me 

When Jaws rescued her, Meli had been scared out of her mind. She couldn’t believe the had actually been saved 

Jaws was the most powerful of all the space pirate leaders, infamous across the galaxy. 

Jaws was truly ruthless to his enemies. The way he dealt with those males had made Meli’s blood run cold 

At first, Meli was terrified, thinking her fate would only get worse. 

But after spending some time in Crimson Sands, she realized no one bullied her here. She had her own room, and she had food to eat. 

“I don’t really want to go back to the Empire, Meli murmured. 

She was carrying Griffin’s child, and she had kidnapped Nyx. She was too ashamed to face anyone back there. 

Life here was stable enough. She could just stay and become a female space pirate. 

“What are you saying?” Nyx frowned, “Your family is still waiting for you. Do you really not care about them at all?” 

Outside the room, Jaws stood there without moving, silently listening to their conversation. 

He thought, ‘So, Nyx hasn’t just been saying it out of spite. She really does want to go back to the Empire. There are people there who matter to her. Her determination to return proves that the Empire has never mistreated her. 

Jaws let out a complicated sigh, rubbing the X–shaped mark on his waist as a deep hatred flashed in his eyes. 

He had no trust or goodwill toward the Empire. But if Nyx wanted to go back that badly, he would respect her choice. 

Inside the room, Meli’s expression slowly turned regretful as Nyx talked to her. Meli said, “You’re right. I shouldn’t stay here.” Just because she had made mistakes didn’t mean she could run away from them and leave all the pain for her family to bear. 

“But can we even go back?” Meli didn’t think the chances were high. 

She thought, ‘I might be able to return since Jaws has no interest in me. But Nyx? She is an SSS–level female, Jaws‘ only lifeline. Why would he ever let her go?’ 

Thinking about the out–of–control python every night, Nyx felt just as troubled. 

Sure enough, deep into the night, the python slithered in again, heading straight for her and wrapping a coil around her in a tentative embrace. 

Too tired to push the clingy snake away, Nyx released her Soul Form. But when she looked down, something felt off. Unlike before, the black mist around the python wasn’t as dense tonight. It wasn’t anywhere near the point of losing control. She thought, ‘Is he faking it?‘ Nyx yanked the snake off her without hesitation, crossing her arms and eyeing him.

For a split second, the python looked guilty. But he quickly pretended like nothing was wrong. 

He had no idea what Nyx used to determine whether he was losing control, so he was putting on his best performance. 

Nyx called him out immediately, “Cut it out. So, you’re feeling better?” 

He hadn’t lost control tonight at all. Now that he was completely exposed, Jaws had no choice but to shift back into human form, grinning, “Yeah. The coat helped 

Holding onto the jacket Nyx had given him, he felt much calmer. With a few more injections, he could temporarily suppress the rise in his Loss of Control Index. 

Though relying on medication like this would only make the eventual backlash worse, if he was going to let Nyx leave, he had to wean himself off her Mental Soothing.
