"Aster, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone?" Katherine asked, knocking on the door to Aster's room.

"Sure," Aster said, "Why don't you go check on the ankle-biters Frostbite?" he asked, giving Jack a kiss on the cheek,

"Okay, I'll be back in a minute," Jack said, leaving the room.

Katherine entered the room and stood there for a moment after Jack left. "Aster, what are your intenions with my son?" she asked.

Aster blinked for a minute. "You always were a straight-forward shelia," he said, turning towards her.

"Aster, what are your intentions with my son?" she asked again, crossing her arms.

"Katherine, we've been dating for three weeks. We've been searching for Jamie the whole time. I couldn't very well think about intentions, let alone talk to Jack about them. But if he aggrees, I'd like to take him as my mate. He makes me happy in a way I haven't been since the Pooka genoside," Aster said, "I told Sophie earlier, Jack and Sophie are the most important people in my life. I'll do anything and everything to keep them safe.

Katherine was quiet for a moment. Suddenly she pulled a dagger from a sheath on her belt and put it under Aster's chin. "You've seen how well I can use this. Hurt my son and it will be used on you next." And with that, she turned and left the room.
