BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 61 – 70
Lord Vladya reciprocated her smile. “Indeed, that seems wise.” He released her gently. “As you depart, please summon a maid for me. It matters not which one.”
That would not be difficult. Every female vied for the slightest bit of attention from Lord Vladya.
They competed ardently for a chance to gain his favor, even to the point of fighting among themselves for a place in his bed.
As Merilyn departed from his chambers, the echoing screams continued to pierced the air. Relentles. Agonizing.
Her heart welled with pity. For whoever it was to scream this ways for hours on end, the sexual act must have not been too pleasurable for her. Poor child.
Grand Lord Zaiper was at it once again, wasn’t he?
Or, was it the feral king?

BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 61 – 70
Aekeira awoke the next morning in an unfamiliar environment, her eyes taking in the luxurious surroundings–the expensive bed, and the highly decorated bedchamber.
Confusion clouded her mind as she tried to piece together the events of the previous night. Where was she? How did she end up here?
And then, the memories came crashing back.
Aekeira threw off the blankets and hastily rose from the bed, her wild blonde hair tumbling messily over her face, obstructing her view.
With a sense of urgency, she gathered her hair into a bun as she made her way out of the golden chambers and towards the southern wing of the citadel.
What happened last night? Is Em alive? Oh, please, let her be alright!
As she pushed open the door to the southern wing, a wave of relief washed over her when she saw no sign of the beast.
However, her relief was short-lived as she beheld the sight of Emeriel lying unconscious on the floor. She was naked, marred by bruises and red marks.
Tears welled up in Aekeira’s eyes, her hands flying to cover her mouth as she let out a sob. Her heart shattered in her chest.
She had failed Em. She had failed her little sister.
“Oh, Light,” Aekeira whispered, sinking down beside Em and sobbing sorrowfully.
Her fingers moved gently, offering soothing touches to her sister’s arm. “I am so sorry, Em. I failed you.”
Just then, the door opened.
Aekeira quickly rose, ready to shield her sister’s body with her own if necessary. Madam Livia entered, carrying a bag of herbs. “Is she awake yet?”
“No,” Aekeira found solace in the rhythmic rise and fall of Emeriel”s chest. “I fell asleep, Madam Livia. I do not know how I managed to sleep through the night while Em suffered.”
“You were put to sleep, Aekeira, so stop blaming yourself,” Madam Livia interjected. “Come, help me lift her onto the bed.”
As they carefully moved Emeriel, Madam Livia continued, “Lord Vladya did not want you to do anything that might put your sister’s life in danger, so he made sure you were asleep.”
Her sister? Aekeira’s thoughts raced. It suddenly dawned on her that Madam Livia seemed unfazed by the fact that Emeriel was a girl. “You knew?”
Madam Livia nodded. “I know.” She left it at that.
Aekeira watched her closely, waiting for her to say more.
