The tears of thy innocence

Feral pt 2

Part two to Feral
I thought this idea was fun. I dunno.
Keith gets auctioned off and the paladins try to buy him but a Galra outbids them and makes Keith his pet.
I also added Galra politics🙂

The paladins had decided it best to wait a bit longer before moving in for a rescue mission. Whether it be for Keith or some random Galra that just so happened to be the unlucky one of its race, who knows.

"Alright guys, we've been informed of an auction taking place at the arena in about 2 days. The plan is; we're going to attend under the guise of the same aliens as last time. If we see that halfbreed, we're going to... well, buy him and bring him here for questioning." Shiro explained, hesitant to say the word 'buy' as if he weren't sure that this halfbreed was truly his brother.

Two days later Hunk, Shiro, Lance, and now Pidge are all sitting inside the Galran fighting arena, watching as different aliens are being forced out and shown off to the crowd as they bid on them. There are a surprising amount of Galra being shown off...

"Next, we have Vex; a Galra-human half breed who took down the previous champion!

"Bidding starts at ———!" The announcer called, voice speeding up as aliens began inserting bid prices into their hand tablets that connected to a big screen hanging from the ceiling, displaying the current highest bid.

Frantically the paladins began putting in their own bids, slowly but surely climbing in price until others began dropping out. Shiro was sweating as he noticed a final bidder applying higher and higher bids. "I-I can't match it. We can't afford higher..." Shiro mumbled, looking up helplessly as the announcer called for any last bids before announcing that the halfbreed was sold to.. another Galra whom was announced as Lord Avicce of the Black Court.

Keith hissed and spit as he was dragged from the dusty arena, clawed hands flailing at the guards that held his bonds. An older Galra stood beside a golden cage, laden with pillows and a jewel studded collar in the middle.

"Lord Avicce, we present you with Vex, the current champion of the ring." One of the soldiers said, standing to attention as he spoke with the galran lord. Keith snapped his teeth at a hand that tried to caress his face, a swift slap following after. "Hm.. such a pretty little thing you are, aren't you jewel?" The man purred, hovering his hand just out of reach of Keith's teeth. "It seems I will be needing to instill some manors into you, hm?"

Keith let out a primal growl, glaring at Lord Avicce. "I will never allow you to cage me! You won't be able to break me in as your fighter, I will win nothing for you!" Lord Avicce chuckled, running a knuckle down the far edge of Keith's cheek. "Oh my dear jewel, I don't intend to put you in a fighting ring, oh no.. you are much too beautiful for brawls. No... I will make you my pretty little pet." His face split into a sickening grin, pointed yellow teeth reflecting in Keith's bright yellow tinged eyes.

He nodded to the soldiers and they stepped forward, throwing Keith into the golden cage. "Please put the collar on darling."

Keith sat up, blinking blearily as he glanced around at his surroundings. He must've fallen asleep.
He was still sitting on the plush pillows inside the golden cage, collar now tightly fastened on his neck. He was currently looking out at what seemed to be a very lavish sitting room. A large wooden couch with a dark maroon silk covering sat in the middle, facing what looked to be a marble fireplace. There was something... off about the fireplace, but he wasn't exactly sure.
