BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 121 – 130

Lord Herod stood out as the first genuinely kind-hearted Urekai Emeriel had encountered. He had taken the time to engage in conversation with Emeriel, seeing him as a person rather than a mere object to be tossed around.

Speaking with Lord Herod had proven surprisingly easy, far from the terrible encounters Emeriel had come to expect from Urekais.

Emeriel headed straight for Aekeira’s bedchamber and noticed Madam Livia exiting the room. He greeted the head maid, before continuing on his way.

Inside the chambers, Aekeira lay on the bed, reading a book. She looked up and smiled at the sight of Emeriel.

The swelling around her eyes had subsided, and she appeared much better than she had in the past couple of days.

“I saw Madam Livia,” Emeriel said as he walked in, closing the door behind him.

“She gave me more herbs and informed me that I would be resuming my duties tomorrow.

I have no idea how she managed to keep me away from work these past few days, but I am grateful to her. How did it go with that Lord?” Aekeira’s eyes looked resigned. “How bad did he hurt you?”

Emeriel shook his head firmly and quickly narrated how it went with Lord Herod. “I packed food for you,” he finished cheerfully.

Aekeira looked surprised as she took the bread and meat from Emeriel and began eating quickly.

Emeriel felt a prickling sensation on his skin. he scratched his arm to alleviate the itch. “What about you?” he hesitated. “Have you had any interaction with Lord Vladya since that night?”

“Fortunately, no. I have not seen him, and I will do everything in my power to avoid him.

I hate him so much,” Aekeira replied between bites. “Besides, now that he’s hurt me the way he wanted, I’m sure he’ll move on to the next human slave to torment.”

After eating, Aekeira lay down, her eyes growing drowsy. Emeriel wasn’t surprised—some of the herbs Madam Livia had given her induced sleep.

“Try to get some rest, Keira,” Emeriel reassured her. “I’ll be here with you, at least until you fall asleep.”

“Are you alright?” Aekeira asked suddenly.

“Huh?”

“You’ve been scratching your arms non-stop for the last few minutes. I’m sure they’ve turned red from all that scratching.” Aekeira observed, sleepily.

Emeriel’s fingers froze, and slowly his hands dropped. He hadn’t even noticed. “I’m fine. It’s nothing to worry about,” he forced himself to believe, suppressing his rising panic.

It had to be nothing to worry about, because the alternative was scary. There was no way he was about to go into heat again.

No.

Oh Lights, just no.
