BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 41 – 50
Emeriel turned to Aekeira, “I will remain here waiting for you, dear sister—”
A low rumble emanated from behind the door.
Emeriel’s eyes widened. It was the beast. The growl sounded so terrifying that Emeriel felt an overwhelming urge to flee. To run and never look back.
Even Aekeira’s eyes bulged. Yet instead of running, she clutched his hands tightly. “Run, Em. Escape from this place. Leave the southern wings altogether! Go!”
“Let’s go together!” Emeriel tried again.
Just then, Madam Livia came into view. At the same time, another growl pierced the air, even more thunderous than the first.
“What in Tartarus are you two doing!? Come here this instant, Emeriel!” Madam Livia barked at them.
Emeriel desperately wanted to protest. He opened his mouth…
“Right. This. Instant.” Madam Livia punctuated her words with anger.
Emeriel swallowed hard and reluctantly released Aekeira’s hand. He retreated and walked away from the hallway toward Madam Livia.
“Enter, Aekeira. Emeriel, come with me.” Madam Livia marched off, leaving him to follow.
Emeriel complied and followed.
However, for some reason, an instinctual part of him—the same part that urged him to run and never look back—screamed at him to stay.
With every step he took away from that chamber, his skin prickled, and a sensation akin to needles spread through his body.
Stay, stay, stay! Something screamed inside him.

In the forbidden chambers, Aekeira stood frozen like a mouse ensnared in a trap, her heart pounding as the towering beast loomed above her.
Its menacing growls reverberated through the air, filling the room with an ominous presence.
Tonight, the feral creature seemed even more restless than it had been on that initial encounter.
Drawing nearer, the beast sniffed her cautiously, its predatory instincts on high alert.
Aekeira held her breath, afraid that the slightest movement would provoke its wrath.
Suddenly, the beast’s massive hand reached out, its intimidating claws pressing against her arms as it effortlessly lifted her off the ground.
With a wave of its hand, she was dropped to another corner of the dark room, deliberately away from the door.
