Chapter Seven: Collared.

Ethan POV.

I woke up to a weight on my chest and some soft snoring I opened my eyes to see Mila sleeping on top of me, her tail wrapped around her little body and her ear flat. Just like a kitten my little kitten, she's been mine for two days and I'm already possessive of her.

Sliding out of bed without waking Mila, I get ready for my day quickly. I heard a little voice calling daddy and turned to see Mila stretching on the bed lazily and rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning baby," I say happily

"Mooing" came her sleepy reply.

I picked her up and changed her diaper and clothes without a word from her, I think she took a nap while I chose her clothes. I walk out of the bedroom with her happily sleeping on my shoulder. There was a bag with my jeweler logo on it, Mila's collar is here. Perfect.

I decided to feed her breakfast first some cornflakes and milk, I spoon-fed her so she'll stay clean for a walk. Nick came in the kitchen next in just his short showing off his tattoos, he fixed breakfast and coffee for both of us while the kitten had her eyes on his tattoos.

Breakfast past by quickly and now it's time to talk with Mila and put the collar on, it's custom made, black velvet choker with a silver pendant it got Mila's name on one side and mine on the other. It's also made by the fey, it's laced with magic some for protection and locating.

I took it out of the box and examined it, it's shiny and eye-catching, nobody will see Mila and think she's unclaimed. I clasped it around her neck making sure it's comfortable before I sealed the clasp with some of my magic. No one can take the collar off but me, they can try all kinds of tools and magic but it's as thick as my dragon scales.

"This means you belong to me, it got my name on it, and yours too mila. Don't try to take it off and don't let anyone touch it got it?" I ask her

"Shinny...daddddyyy shinnnyyyy" of course all she noticed is how shiny it is.

She ran back to our bedroom to see it in the mirror.

"Man that kitten is so adorable," my friend Nick says laughing.

Mila got busy in front of the mirror for almost a full hour just watching the pendant and playing with it, she like shiny stuff.

"Baby you wanna go out?" that's all I had to say for Mila to run to the front door. I caught her by her waist and dragged a pounting kitten toward the sofa, sitting her on my lap.

"Daddy out," she says sniffling

"We'll go out kitten after we have a talk first," I say sternly and she nods

"First no running away from me like that, you stay where I can see you and ask permission before you go anywhere.

Two hold daddy hand while walking on the street unless you want me to get you a leash.

Three be polite to anyone we see or talk with. " I say giving her some new rules and she nods then start jumping in my lap excited to be out for the first time.

I take hold of her hand and walk out of our dorm, she had no idea where we were and was looking around curiously. We met a few other people on the way but Mila hides behind me every time she saw someone.

Once outside the dormitory, a big smile broke on her face, looking up and around and everywhere. We walked slowly toward the park, her still being in a daze. The grass in the park got her attention making me laugh, I thought she'd run toward the swings or the slide but my baby was fascinated with the smallest things.

Since she wasn't gonna play I decided to walk her toward a more private part, me being a prince came handful since people would walk the other way when they saw me coming.

I took off her shoes and let her run barefoot squealing with happiness, she played on the grass, touched the trees, and even tried to climb them but I didn't let her. She sat in the sun enjoying the warmth of it, making her necklace shine even more and her laughter to become louder

Finally, when she had enough fun she ran back to me giving me a big hug saying thank you.

"Play with Mila," she asks me. She played with nick one time but this is the first time we'll play together. I chased her around for a bit, she's not as fast as home, being barefoot and on unstable ground.

I caught her easily picking her up from the waist and spinning around, then setting her on some unstable feet, walking dizzy and laughing at the sensation everything in new for her, finding joy in everything.

Making my heart grow and get more attached to her with every laughter.

Some neko owners can be cruel never showing the Neko the sunlight, they might be made in a genetic lab but they got a soul and I want my neko's soul to be happy and young.

After a few hours passed and I saw Mila getting too exhausted to run around anymore I called her to get home. I didn't bother with her shoes, picking her in my arms and walking back toward the dorm.

We start school tomorrow, she'll have to go to daycare while I'm at class. I did enroll her in a few classes, mostly to teach her the alphabet, number, writing. Nothing too crazy, I also handed them some strict rules about my kitten. Nobody and I means nobody touches her, if she gets in trouble they tell me and I'll deal with it.

I'm just hoping Mila won't act too badly about being away for the whole day, the plan is to explain things tonight so she won't be too hard to deal with in the morning.
