BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 111 – 120

Aekeira knelt within the heart of Grand Lord Vladya’s bedchambers, hands clasped before her, head lowered in submission.

As she awaited her fate, the initial nervousness had long abated, and now, she felt tired. Resigned. Numb.

The door opened, and the grand lord stepped inside. The click of the lock that followed sealed her fate. For what felt like an eternity, he did not speak to her, not a glance in her direction to acknowledge her presence.

Instead, he crossed to the other side of the room and stood against the window, his arms crossed as he gazed out into the night.

What was going through his mind?

Aekeira wet her lips. “My Lord, please have mercy on me. I know you are mad at me—”

“Do. Not. Speak,” he stated coolly, his back to her. “You are not worth the sand I stepped on. Why would I, Vladya, be mad at you?”

Aekeira lowered her eyes. His words didn’t hurt her because, even though his tone suggested otherwise, his posture conveyed something else. THAT was what scared her.

The silence gnawed at her, awakening her nerves once again. Next, he crossed to his dresser, and there he began to shed his ceremonial attire.

Aekeira tried her best not to look, her eyes darting everywhere but at him.

The rustle of fabric filled the air, accompanied by the the soft scrape of movements. It was like fighting a losing battle against curiosity.

Before she knew it, her eyes were fixed on him. He had his back to her, but the view was…

Aekeira swallowed hard.

His body was the sculpted perfection of a god. Muscled, chiseled, powerfully built – he was a vision both mesmerizing and unsettling. Aekeira found herself unable to tear her gaze away.

Never before had she found cause to admire a man’s physique. Why would she, when every man she had encountered had only brought her suffering and filled her with revulsion?

She was all too aware of the pain they were capable of inflicting.

As she continued to gaze, a sliver of the numbness gave way, replaced by an uneasy prickle of awareness. The sensation felt unfamiliar. Disturbing.

The strangeness horrified her because this was Grand Lord Vladya. The same male she abhored. The same lord who held the power to harm her, or even end her life if he chose.

“Rise.” His voice broke the tense silence.

The command startled her, forcefully pulling her from her reverie. It required a moment for her to comprehend, and upon realization, it felt as though she had been doused with icy water.

Aekeira rose to her feet, her stance unsteady, her gaze respectfully lowered.

“Undress. I want you naked,” his tone cold and clipped.

“Please, I—” Aekeira began to protest, but he silenced her with a deadly glare that instantly shut her up.

Completely undressed, he turned, offering her a full view of his body. “My command was for you to strip, not to speak. Do not make me repeat myself.”

His words were lost on her. Her entire attention involuntarily fixated on his body.
