BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 171 – 180
But now that he had Emeriel’s scent from the source, would he still spare his sister if she ever went to service him again?
What if a scented arm was no longer enough? What if it angrily killed Aekeira for daring to come service him? Emeriel envisioned countless scenarios, and all of them ended tragically for his sister.
“I wish for my sister to never serve the beast again,” Emeriel finally made his request.
Vladya hated the relief that washed over him. Jaw clenched, he gave Emeriel a steely gaze. “Are you absolutely certain?”
“Yes, I am.” And shockingly, Emeriel didn’t mind. It was still scary being mounted by a powerful feral, but no, it didn’t bother him much anymore. “Besides, the beast wants me far more than it does my sister.”
Vladya leaned forward, his eyes like gray chips of ice. “And why is that, little prince?”
Emeriel’s tongue felt thick in his mouth. For a moment, he contemplated telling Lord Vladya the truth—that he was a girl, and he feared he might be the beast’s soulmate. The possibility clawed at his insides.
But Lord Vladya’s perpetual scowl, the disdain he held for humans, the gravity of Emeriel’s deciet and the ruthlessness of Lord Vladya’s punishments choked the words back down.
Emeriel simply could not do it. Heavens help him, he was not brave enough. Not yet.
“I have no idea, my Lord,” Emeriel managed, his voice barely above a whisper.
“Very well then. From this day forward, Aekeira has been relieved of her duties, and you, Emeriel, are henceforth the beast’s slave.”
Emeriel felt a weight lifting from within him, and his heart grew lighter.
Any form of salvation from this tough life, no matter how small, brought him some consolation.
The thought of his sister living without the constant fear of being subjected to the beast’s advances was enough to bring him a measure of relief.
“May I request something else, Your Highness?” A blush crept up Emeriel’s neck, eyes downcast. “I would like a room in the southern wing as well.”
Lord Vladya’s brows snapped together in a frown. “I said you could have only one—”
“I mean, if I were close to the grand king’s beast, it would be easier for me to spend more time with it, wouldn’t it?” Without missing a beat, Emeriel jumped in, his mind working fast.
“Additionally, if the beast were to break free because of me, it wouldn’t have to roam far, right? That chamber is closer to the forbidden chambers.”
A thoughtful silence fell as Grand Lord Vladya mulled it over. Emeriel held his breath. He really wanted to stay close to his sister.
“Very well. I shall issue an order. You may have the room next to your sister.” The grand lord said at last.
