BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 41 – 50

If you dare even breathe the wrong way in my presence, I will kill you with my bare hands.

And I will take pleasure in doing so.” With those words, she turned and marched out of the hallway.

Emeriel found himself suddenly alone with Grand Lord Vladya, and the silence that followed was overwhelming.

“Is she the bondmate of the grand King Daemonikai?” Emeriel asked. He recalled that the grand king had a bondmate and even children. It made sense.

If he remembered correctly, it was one of Daemonikai’s sons who had drunkenly revealed the kingdom’s secret, which had led to the Cleaning War.

“She is not his bondmate, she is his bloodhost,” Lord Vladya stated in a tone which suggested that should explain everything.

In a way, Emeriel supposed it did. Based on the knowledge he had acquired, the bond between an Urekai and his bloodhost was said to be incredibly strong. Some argued it might even surpass a mating bond.

Then a thought struck Emeriel. “Is she on her way to bloodfeed the beast?” his eyes widened, his voice filled with astonishment.

“Yes,” came the curt reply. Lord Vladya turned abruptly, clearly finished with the conversation, and began to walk away from the hallway.

“Wait! I need to know about my sister!” Emeriel cried, following after him. “What has happened to Aekeira?”

Lord Vladya continued walking without stopping. “I am under no obligation to provide you with that answer.”

“Please, Lord Vladya!” Emeriel dropped to his knees desperately. “I just want to know if she is still alive, that is all! I promise not to disturb you further.

I don’t even need to see her. I simply want to know if she is safe or not. I will do anything, my lord! I just want to know that Aekeira is alive!”

The male turned, pinning Emeriel with inscrutable eyes. He remained silent, leaving Emeriel on the edge of despair.

Emeriel could feel the tears welling up, burning in his eyes. “Even if she is… d-dead, please tell me. I need to know. And I will leave you in peace, I swear!”

“Your sister is alive. For now,” Lord Vladya finally responded before turning away and walking off.

A flood of relief washed over Emeriel, and tears streamed down his face. Aekeira had survived. His strong sister had survived!

“Oh, thank the Light! All glory be to the sky,” he whispered. For the first time in days, he could breathe freely.

He felt an immense weight lifted from his shoulders as he walked back to resume his duties.
